Lif e Abroad Described
By Shady Cove Couple
Shady Cove - Mr. and Mrs
William Littlefield, now in
Orleans, France, where ' Mr,
Littlefield is , assigned to
United States Army duty, ex
pect to return to the United
States this summer. Mr. Little,
field, a specialist, will :have
completed a two-year tour of
duty. Mrs. Littlefield is em
ployed as a secretary to one of
the officers at the base.
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

Uu ...,-ned s iters who " live
.and th tcnool In : Paris.
They have an apartment over
our house .in'; .which they
spend their vacation. 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.

"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.
