Eischen, the mustachioed station- master of this ancient spot 18 miles from Luxembourg city, is a worried ing his days quietly in an easy spot with few trains and no worries. Since Colmar became the site of a new American tire plant the old village has become the "Little Akron" of Luxembourg. The station is the stopping point for more pas- sengers and freight trains than ever before. * A nearby Alsatian farmer quit the farm he had rented from the prop- erty administrations of the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg. He said he didn't want to be atom-bombed. His farmhouse will be turned into a cafe for the rubber plant workers. But many others think the de- velopment is a good thing, promis- ing prosperity for the ancient cen- tre.

"Our production is for the time being aimed at Benelux customers. Our main raw material, rubber, comes from Indonesia and a smaller quantity from Malaya, through the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp. We buy all the rayon we can get from Belgian textile manufacturers." Pownall hoped to be able to pur- chase rubber from the Belgian Con- go if the price can be agreed upon, but "so far it has been too expen- sive." + The site of the plant had been Preferred by millions of Canadians for its superb quality and flavour.
