ROBERTSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS 40 North Riverside PHONE SP 3-4264 On the way to Stratford-upon-Avon, the tour bus pass es Blenheim Palace, home of the Churchills since the days of their ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough, to whom a grat ful nation presented it. Among its mementoes of Sir Winston, who was born and reared at Blenheim, is a col lection of his long blond curls preserved by the family hair dresser, which is the English term for barber. Passing the Palace, the tour lecturer comments: "They must be a wonderful sight for the old gentleman, who is now as bald as a billiard ball." CONTRARY to the normal impression, Shakespeare wasn't a penniless country boy. Stratford - upon - Avon, then as now, was a comfort able English farm town. Its people obviously lived rather well. The Shakespeare home leaves that fact quite clear. So was the home of Ann Hathaway, where the Bard of Avon courted and married her. Her people were farmers, and the farm contained about 100 acres then as now a rather average English farm holding. Sheen and dairy cows provided the Hathaways with a living, and this is reflected in the furnishings. After Ann, 14 generations of Hathaways lived in the comfortable old home. IN THAT day, wattles (tules to us) were important. They were spread on the floors in lieu of carpets, and were re newed from time to time. This was true in the case of the nobles, as well as the com moners. They were plaited in to mattresses for the beds. Rushlights tule leaves dried and soaked in lard provided illumination at night. When more light was needed, they were bent doub le and lighted at both ends, From this custom came the ex pression "burning the candle at both ends. In framing the houses, op en squares were left and these squares were filled with wat tle and dobe, a mixture of wattles and clay earth, dried in the sun. These walls still stand. The Hathaway house was thatched, and the thatch has been well preserved. Thatching is a skilled trade that is on the way out. It is reported that only about 50 or 60 thatchers remain in all of England. TN THE green and lovely Cotswold hills, through which the route to Stratford-upon-Avon leads, the fences are rock walls.- When they were first built, several cen turies ago, it w a s believed that they would NEVER need any maintenance. In these la ter days, it is being discovered that NEVER is a long time. The walls are beginning to de teriorate. Building them was a skilled trade. They were made of flat stones, and these flat stones had to be placed just right. As in the case of thatch, the skilled workmen who know how to repair the walls are becoming scarce Here and there, wire fences are beginning to replace , the rock walls. In general, in all of South ern England, the fences are hedges. Almost universally, they are carefully . trimmed and tended and are a wonder ful addition to the natural beauty of this country of rol ling green hills. HIGHWAY notes: English roads are narrow -so narrow that to an Ameri can in a tourist bus it looks flatly certain that there will be a collision every time a car approaches from the oth er direction. Add to this the fact that in England one drives on the left side of the road. From this you will be able to deduce that for the first few hours Americans on English roads and streets are in a more or less constant state of panic. Counsel With . . .

The English call them LAY-bys. At home, a tempor ary route to get around con struction is called a detour. In England it is a DIVER SION. In the U.S.A. we call multi lane highways, either at ground level or elevated on concrete structures, freeways. In England, they are FLY OVERS. Where roads cross over, there are what we us ed to call, when we had a few of them, traffic circles. Our English cousins call them ROUND-ABOUTS. They work about the same as the traffic circles used to work in our country. When you come to one, you turn into it and go spinning around until you find an outlet in the, direction in which you want to go. As a slightly cynical touch, it should be added here, by the time you find the cross road you want to take, you are so dizzy that you are nev er quite certnin of your abil ity to turn into it.
