Mrs. Littlefield is the for- mer Carole Sheppard, daugh- tor of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Shep pard, Shady Cove, and Mr. . Littlefield is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Travis Littlefield. , -The young people have been in Orleans since January. In . a . recent- letter to relatives Mrs. Littlefield wrote "Or leans is only a two-hour drive , from Paris, and is a very in . terestlng city. In 44 B.C. Jul v lus Caesar came to the city, . captured and burned it, and it became a Roman outpost, ' In 1492 Joan of Arc gained ' her everlasting fame here by saving the besieged city from .. the British armies. She is the v matron saint of Orleans and her statue stands in the city square. ... fv. "We live in a village called : Beaugency, which is about 10 miles out of Orleans. This vil lage dates back before Christ also, and like Orleans. . was ' captured by Caesar. It is situ- ' ated on the Loire river and ' from the Fourth to the 14th century, possessed the only ; bridge crossing the river be tween Orleans and Biois. Be- ; cause of this, it played a very i Important role all during the Middle Ages in the history of this part of the country. Many . of the buildings of the village date back a thousand years or more. It was a walled medie val city and parts of the -wall, as well as the watch tower, the ancient clock tower, a Fourth century church, and a Ninth century dungeon,: are still standing. The streets are narrow and winding, paved with cobblestones, and it is al most like stepping back '. a thousand years into history to walk through the village. - "We rent a house 'of four rooms and a bath with a huge and beautiful walled-ln yard. The house is 80 years old. It has been In the same family ever since it was built. ; Dur ing the war," the Germans oc cupied It and had machine guns set up at every window to - iard the road and the rail J 1, both of which are near t -.

They even hire a gardener to take care of the yard. Tours Described . ; "Bill and I have had a won derful time this past year. We .never dreamed life could be io exciting." Mrs. Littlefield described a stay in the village of Garmlsch, In the heart of the Bavarian Alps, which Hit ler used as a rest and recrea tional center for Ms army, and which Is now used by the United States Army. . , 4 "From Garmlsch we took many tours. One of them was to a fairy-tale castle of Naush wansteiri built on a- hilltop overlooking five be a u t i f u 1 lakes in a mountain setting. We also went to the top of Germany's, highest peak by (way of an Austrian cable car. The Whole Town's Talking About "KORGE DRY GLEANING IS CAdlCH 111 AN HAdMilU Coma ...

"We toured, the world-famous village of Oberammer- gau, where the Passion Play is given each 10 years. We photographed its famous hous es on which are painted fairy tale scenes, such as those from 'Hansel and Gretel.' We at tended a two-hour ice review featuring some of the world's best figure skaters, listened to Bavarian singing, watched the dancing and visited the castle of , Maximillian and the fa mous Wies church." During the Littlefield's stay in Europe they have also toured Holland and Belgium, attended the tulip festival near Kucken- hoff, which Mrs. Littlefield described as "really perfect, with windmills, wooden shoes, tulip fields, canals, swans and thatched-roofed houses - just as a tourist would expect Hol land to be." .-,. , - ; Hhineland Visited ... A year ago the couple toured the Rhineland of.Ger- many, visiting Heidelberg, Worms (where Martin Luther preached), Wiesbaden, Mainz, and down the- Rhine river from Bingen to Cobienz. This Mrs. ' Littlefield said was a "castle explorer's dream" with ancient castles on each side of the river about every one-fourth mile. They spent some time in Trier, described as the oldest Roman-founded town north of the Alps. In the city Is the oldest church north of the Alps, said to be the burial place of St. Matthew, the Apostle. V Last summer the Little- fields toured Normandy and Brittany, France, visiting the famous Cathedral of Chartres, and Rouen, where Joan of Arc wa burned at ; the stake in 1431, and the Gothic cathe dral. Later they were in Switz erland, where they were par ticularly interested in the can ton of Appenzell, where the people still, practice direct democracy. "On the last Sun day in April, each citizen goes to the Capital city, also called Appenzell, where they meet in the ' city square and vote for their officials and laws by a show of hands," Mrs. Little field wrote. "Only male citi zens can vote, and each eligi ble male wears a sword to show his right.' ' She also described the prin cipality . of Lichensteln tiny, 'independent country, only 10 miles square; the peo ple of this little country never nave to pay taxes of any sort." The travelers ended the tour by visiting various parts of- Austria, including Inns bruck, Salzburg and Vienna.
