Travelers' Letter Gives
Impressions of England
Mr. and Mrs. Melvin A. Krows, 1215 East Main street, who now
re on a tour of the European continent and today are scheduled
to be at Interlaken, Switzerland, wrote of the earlier part of the
trip when they arrived in London, England. They left New York
City April 7 and are to return there May 30.
The letter which the couple
sent April 18 from England
reads:
"We arrived in London via
Southampton after a very
smooth trip. No severe storms
The Holland-America SS Ryn-
dam is a new near-luxury tour
1st boat with the usual Dutch
housekeeDine and food. At
Southampton we were met with
a private car and driven to Lon
don through the lovely country
over the old Roman road, now
a fine turnpike.
Blacksmiths
At frequent intervals were in
teresting villages with shops,
markets and always a village
forge (blacksmith). No fences
and no wasted farm lands, when
one arrives in London he is
there right now, not miles and
miles of shacks, signs and ham
burger joints, etc. No wooden
buildings, but in the country
many thatched roofs fabricated
in beautiful designs (good for 20
years). The masonry farm build
ings are hundreds of years old
and have these roofs.
First Impression
"The first impression of Lon
don is strange to us. No buildings
are over five or six stories high
except the House of Parliament
with its Big Ben tower. Those
buildings with lifts have the hy
draulic type with "bird cage
grills" on all sides. The London
weather has been good, a good
deal of sunshine with night
frosts. Most tourists from the
states usually contract some res
piratory infection, possibly a
new type of bug we are not im
mune to.
"We are now with a group of
12 persons from the states and
will be accompanied by a tour
conductor through the various
countries, with local guides
along the way.
"On Thursday, April 21 we
leave London for a motor tour
f southern England, overnight
at Stratford-6n-Avon, stopping
there at the Alveston Manor ho
tel and attending a Shakespear
ean play at the Memorial the
ater. We are told this is the
anniversary of Shakespeare's
birth and something special is
offered. .
Mo Heat
"One is impressed by the lack
of heat in the hotels and build
ings here. We are stopping at a
first class hotel, (Grosvenor
Court Hotel, Mayfair, London)
which is right smack in the cen
ter of places of importance. But
it is cold, dining room rated su
per, but no' heat. The plumbing
installed maybe a century after
the building was completed and
very fundamental to say the
least. However rooms have a
basin with running water, warm,
but not hot, water 7 to 8 a.m.,
and 6 to 7:30 p.m.
"Westminster Abbey has a
wonderful history going back
900 years a mass of masonry
and human remains that has
never been warm nor ventilated
always cold and dark.
Grtat Men
"In an hour one walks over
or past the remains of thousands
of 'great' men of British history.
As usual the conquerers of ter
ritory get the greatest honors,
Egypt, India, Africa, and others.
"Of interest to Rogue River
fruit growers: Most fruit on dis
play in New York and London
that we have seen is from Ar
gentina and South Africa, beau
tiful Bosc, Cornice and Bartlett
pears and good flavor too. Apples
of all kinds as good as Yakima
or Hood River. Fine grapes, all
California types from South Am
erica and South Africa. The Lon
don shops and department stores
are comparable with those in
the states but when one comes
to making a comparison in prices
there come up the difficulties of
the complicated British money
system. The goods displayed are
usually of a heavier type than
with us.
Not Displayed
"As to the intimate apparel of
the ladies, we can not speak as
they are not displayed publicly,
as with us. Of interest to motor
ists: All London traffic is thor
oughly controlled. All traffic
uses only small parking lights
at all times and no teenager dri
vers with their personally equip
ped noisy cars. Have not heard
one auto horn."
MAYOR NABBED
Hartford, Conn (U.R) One
of those caught in a drive against
motorists who failed to obtain
1955 car registration was Mayor
Dominick J. DeLucco. He prom
ised to get one right away and
no arrest was made.

another construction problem.
The SOC maintenance depart
