Showing which way the wind blows Expensive coffee Back from a 12-week tour of Europe, the Carleton L. Stewarts find it difficult to remember where they heard the opera "Der Rosenkavalier." On the other hand, they have no trouble recalling where they ate "the best filet I ever had," accord ing to Gladys Stewart. The explanation is simple enough: They saw and heard more than 30 operas, sympho nies, recitals, band concerts plays and other major productions. Good beef, however, is hard to find in the countries they visited. The filet was eaten in the Copper Grill, located in a London alley and seating only 35 persons.

Good coffee also was difficult to come by. It is served at breakfast but at other meals it is a la carte and cost the Stewarts from 34 to 50 cents a cup. American cigarets cost about 70 cents a pack. The Stewarts toured Europe with a party of 35 organized by the Mason City bandmaster's college roommate at Ithaca College where he now is head of the music department. Ages varied from 19 to 77 and many were taking the tour for college credit.

The tour included Holland, Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, England and Scotland in that order. It also included so a museums and castles that the Stewarts are going to have 'to wait for their color slides to come back before they will be able to sort the buildings out in iheir minds. Part of their difficulty stems from the fact that five days wa their longest stay in any on place until their final stop a the Edinburgh Festival in Sco' land. They'll never forget Edinburg (pronounced Ed-in-burro), the agreed. Their sleeping quarter were on the third floor of ancient stone girls dormitor; and they ate in the basement There was no elevator, course.

Not only were the stairs trial, but the lack of heat taugh them new routines for dressing bathing, etc. Not only was thei huge bedroom cold there wa no hot water. And the mattress es were straw ticks. The pleasant far outbalance EVERYBODY'S TALKING The big topic of conversation throughout Mason City during the next three weeks will be the 1960 Community Chest campaign. Among those interested (and who isn't?) are Mrs.

Bruce Holland and Abel T. Walker, elevator operator in the Brick and Tile Building, Dr. Howard W. Barbour, 82, dies suddenly at home Dr. Howard W.

Barbour, 82, died suddenly Saturday night at his home, 1039 2nd N.W. He had practiced in Mason City more than 40 years and had been a member of the 50-Year Club of the Iowa State Medical since ,1953. He had retired from his office in August and had continued his practice from his home. BORN OCT. 23, 1877, at Grand Rapids, Dr.

Barbour was the son of Charles and Lucy (Crandall) graduated Barbour. He was Washington the difficulties. They will neve forget a marionette opera doin "The Magic Flute" at the Salz burg Festival in Austria. Another high spot was the concert by Isaac Stern, the vi olinist, and his accompanist Myra Hess, in Usher Hall in Edinburgh. The pianist im pressed them as much as the violinist.

Claudio Arrau, pianist wit! the Edinburgh Philharmonic also rated as "outstanding." He played two very long concerto; on successive days despite a re cent heart attack and a warning from his physician that he should not play at all. Then there was the "Passion Play" at Oberammergau. "IT never forget it," said Mrs. Stew art. "We heard some Americans criticizing it because it was no perfect.

They forgot that it is strictly an amateur production and every actor works at his regular job every day." St. Peter's, the Vatican and Sistine Chapef in Rome are in describable, according to the Stewarts. Despite being Protestants, they admit also to being tremendously impressed a moved by being in a crowd of many thousands blessed by the Pope. Then there was the tremendous bicycle traffic in Amster. dam, where two cyclists are killed on an average day.

And there were the Wagnerian operas in Bayreuth, Germany. "Parsifal" took six hours, two before dinner and four after. The next night "Das Rheingold" took four hours. There also were people who will never be forgotten. The Schnabels in Salzberg took the Stewarts into their home and treated them like beloved members of the Mrs.

Schna- made many trips with a hot water bottle each evening so their bed would be warm. She couldn't speak English the Stewarts don't sp'eak German, but the grown son had learned a little English as a child in school. He brought Mrs. Stewart a down pillow as a gift from his mother the night before the leave-taking. Mrs.

Schnabel was i along to the bus to say goodbye, but when Mrs. Stewart kissed her on the cheek before leaving the house, Mrs. Schnabel was so tearful she decided to stay University at St. Louis in 1900 and did post graduate work at Northwestern University, Chicago, and Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md. i Dr.

Barbour started his prac tice at Kulm, N. and later moved to Edgeley, N. where operated his own compac hospital until 1914.
