year and putting them together every fourth year to make an extra day Caesar put this extra day in ebruary because it have anything like the days the other months had and he figured ruaiy needed it'mo Then somebody sat down and added for a while "found out still: work out If you multiply five 48 I minutes and 497 seconds by I four you get an extra day the way Caesar planned You get 23 hours 15

cer tain years that can be divided by four without anything left over Those 1400 and' 1700 and 1900 years were what he had in mind All those can be divided by four without anything left over but he

By Ed riedenberg Staff Reporter Modern American furniture is too old fashioned too fancy and too expensive for current German tastes three West Berlin furniture workers agreed yesterday The three are half of a group of German furniture men touring furniture plants under the sponsorship of the International Coopera tion Administration in search of production tips They arrived in Winston Salem too late for the High Point furni ture market but they spent a week on the Chicago market during the first part of their tour Through their interpreter Mrs Claire Metger of the German Em bassy in Washington they ex pressed surprise at so much tra ditional and colonial furniture be ing produced in this country In Germany they confided that sort of thing is just a little bit well outmoded Afford It Even you call contempo is still more fancy than popular German furniture they said more they indicated even if they made American type furniture in Germany be jolly few people who could af ford it The Germans also got the idea that American manufacturers of try to hide the natural of the wood they use dark en it and distort it with greens and grays In Germany they said this will not sell The Germans right now like their wood light and are using and even glamorous They indicated however that the German furniture industry may soon be following in the foot steps of the Americans Current American design they figure has resulted from the man constant push to add novelty to their wares in order to stimulate the market The German industry is still fill ing the hunger for furniture left by the great destruction of World War II Basic Difference This hunger the workers be lieve will soon be satisfied and when it is the chances are man manufacturers will be ing for novelty Another basic difference tween the two industries they said is that in America labor is expensive and materials cheap but in Germany labor is cheap and materials dear An American manufacturer is quick to put in a labor saving ma chine but the German manufac turer has to be sure first that the machine will be economical with materials So far in their tour they have picked up many but most of the take too much materials They are greatly pleased at the friendly receptions they have re ceived during their tour have made quite a fuss over Mrs Metger said The entire delegation is from West Germany where because of the town's economic isolation the furniture industry is in weak com petitive condition Tn Winston Salem yesterday Bernhard Volck cabinetmak er Werner Enders joiner and Klaus Stenzel frame maker The
