gifts you can give your son or
daughter is the ability to type.
Typing is essential in today's
mechanized world. Learned
young, it is learned more rap
idly. Typing will constantly be
used: in doing schoolwork, get
ting on the school paper staff,
letter writing, part-time work,
perhaps a career!

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.

ALONG these roads at regu
lar intervals are what in
the U.S.A. we call turnouts,
for the convenience of drivers
who want to pull off the pave
ment. 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.
