My wish has finally come true. My first day working at the train station. I got used to it quickly. I had to get train tickets for the refugees from the western areas. Five hours I stood on the job and am very tired. But still, a job like that is very nice and satisfying when one can help exhausted people. A thankful word, along with happy and grateful faces, is enough appreciation for the job done.

There is a Jungmädel leaders' conference in Untergau. Elfriede Horn spoke about the big projects coming up for us: The care for the wounded in the military hospitals, the toy collcction for our German children in Poland, train station service, food stamp distribution and other things are our next tasks, which we do with happy hearts.
