An honored guest in the home at present is Mrs. Dobrzensky‘s 71-year-old mother. Mrs. Fran- ces Lobkowlcz who arrived a week ago to visit her daughter, the first time they have seen each other in 16 years. ‘ Mrs. Lobkowicz made the long trip alone from her pre- sent home ln Kremsmunster in upper Austria to Richmond Hill, stopping to spend a week with old friends in Czechoslovakia on the way and travelling through Germany and France to set sail from Le Havre. She was met at Montreal by Mr. Dobrzensky and made the rest of the trip by automobile. enjoying the lovely autumn colors in Quebec and Ontario. Born in Austria, Mrs. Lobk- owicz went to live in Czech- slovakia when she married and lived there continuously up un- til 1958. Three of her four chil- dren left that country in 1948. 'while she stayed on with her youngest daughter. They ap- plied for permission to leave first in 1955. but were unable to go until 1958. Now however, Mrs. Lobkowicz reports that it is much easier to enter and leave the country.

FRONT QUARTER CUTS Czech Grandma Joins Old Wit/7 New World Although she has travelled very little since the war, Mrs. Lobkowicz is something of a seasoned traveller and has vis- ited Africa and Egypt as well as many European countries. She speaks Czechoslovakian. German and French as well as English. in Czechoslovakia she reports that children begin the study of French very early in the primary grades. English in Teens She learned English in her teens but found few opportunities of using it except during two brief trips to England as a young woman. Yet now. after a lapse of 50 years. she is able to converse in English with seemingly little diffi- culty. Mrs. Lobkowicz spent a short time in Quebec City on her way here and found the Que- becois had no difficulty under- standing her. nor she them. She had started to come to Canada in 1961. Shortly after? she left Hambourg. however, the“ small liner on which she was iravelling ran into a heavy storm. Mrs. Lobkowicz was thrown down a flight of stairs ‘and Woke up to find herself in a hospital in Ireland. Here she istayed for the next six weeks until she was able to get home Mrs. Lobknwicz brought with her. and has sent to her daugh- ter at various times, many fam- ily treasures, small oil and wa- ter color portraits of various members of the family. old Czechoslovakian engravings and lthe like. to Austria Hanging in one corner of her daughter’s dining room is a small velvet-lined what-not con- taining a bewildering variety of small knicknacks in china. glass‘ and various metals‘ each recall-l ing for Mrs. Lobkowicz some small piece of family history.

Mr. Dobrzensky is with Otto Pick and Sons Limited, grain dealers. Virgin Mary “But there‘s nothing interest- ing about us, we’re just poor immigrants," objected Mrs. Lob- kowicz. Poor they may be by some standards, but in terms of cul- iure, of family, of traditions and of genuine warmth and friendship. they are rich be- yond measure. Richmond Hill is indeed for- tunate to have such "poor im- migrants" in its midst.
