Europeans More Impressed
By the Arts Than Gadgets,
Says Couple On Return
Europeans aren’t as in
Americans but they are more
That’s the impression of
Summerville after 10 weeks of
touring Europe.
The Hairs went principally to
visit the art galleries and cath
drals and to see the country
side. Mrs. Hair majored in art
in college and does some paint
ing herself.
They were impressed with the
fine art collections and beautiful
cathedrals found in even the
small cities, and with the acces
sibility of fine plays and operas.
Although this was Mrs. Hair’s
first trip to Europe, her hus
band. assistant principal at
Chattooga High School, was sta
tioned in Germany during his
military tenure.
The sailed early in the sum
mer aboard the Queen Elizabeth
and returned in late August
aboard the Queen Mary.
“Going by boat is definitely
the way to travel, in my opinion,
said Mrs. Hair. “It was so smooth
and we weren’t seasick a minute.
I believe that even if we’d run
into a bad storm the sailing
would still have been smooth be
cause those ships are so large.”
Docking in Cherbourg they
traveled to Paris by train and
spent a week there before going
on to Frankfurt and picking up
the yellow Volkswagen con
vertible they had ordered earlier.
The couple used the car for
their jaunts in Germany, Switz
erland and Italy. But when they
left the continent for England,
they shipped it on to this coun
try and will soon be driving it
in Summerville. (It’s in the shop
right now.) In England and
Scotland, they traveled largely
by train.
The Hairs —both devout Pres
• bytcrians—were greatly inter
ested in Scotland, homeland of
the Presbyterian denomination.
Since neither speaks another
language, the Hairs weren’t able
to converse much with the
people except in England and
Scotland. Although many Eu
ropeans speak English, they
are largely the people who
serve tourists — shop keepers,
waitresses, etc., and they are
people who don’t have time to
talk to you, Mrs. Hah explains.
She said, however, they were
very courteously treated and
that she didn’t have the impres
sion Americans were disliked.
terested in conveniences as
interested in the arts.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Hair, of
Queried as to whether they
were embarrassed by the be
havior of any Americans, Mrs.
Hair said they did note impa
tience among some of the Amer
ican tourists.
“In Europe, things move at a
much slower pace,” she said,
“and you may as well allow time
for it. For instance, it takes at
least two hours to get dinner
when you go into a restaurant.”
In Italy, she noted, life is very
leisurely, with the shops closing
for three hours in the afternoon.
Europeans’ complete utiliza
tion of every bit of land im
pressed Mr. and Mrs. Hair. In
stead of planting grass in the
yards as we do, Europeans—
especially those on the continent
—plant vegetables and flowers.
And every parcel of land is
farmed —even to the tops of
steep hills.
Actually, most houses have
very little land about them, un
less they are mansions, said Mrs.
Hair. The yards are very small.
Although they enjoyed visiting
the usual cathedrals and art
galleries, the couple will never
forget one unusual “art gallery”
they visited. It was a pre-his
toric cave in France, just dis
covered in 1940, which had
paintings on the walls that were
done at least 17,000 years ago.
The Hairs didn’t bring back
a lot of souvenirs from across
the Atlantic.
“The main thing was our
Volkswagen,” the young Sum- i
merville woman said. “It had
been our main project. I did
buy a few prints but no expen
sive paintings.”
The couple was in England at
the time the border between
East and West Berlin was
closed. However, Mrs. Hair said,
the British seemed more im
mediately concerned with the
question of the common marked
plan in Europe. They seemed to
feel, she said, that although Ber
lin was important, the common
market matter was an economic j
one and of more immediate and i
direct concern to them.
Mr. and Mrs. Hair agree their j
trip left them with memoriesl
they will treasure.for years. But
they hope this won’t be their
last trip to Europe.
“We’d like to go back some
time,” Mrs. Hair said, “and see
some of the places we missed.”
