THIS ENGLAND
There’s just no place like
Engjand. Shakespeare said it
better, “This royal throne of
kings, this scept’red — this other
Eden, derniparadise — this blessed
plot, this England.”
From the minute we landed
and started the long drive from
the airport into the city we knew
everything we’d read was true
century old trees, beautiful
flowers, lush green everywhere. As
we neared the second largest city
in the world, not a trash heap, not
a pile of junk cars, just pretty
little English cottages with
flowers, like picture postcards, on
every side.
“Foggy London Town” is no
more. They have made great
ecological strides. Cars, and there
are so many of them, bum
pollution free gas, there is no
smoke anywhere — a clean,
beautiful city . with parks
everywhere. Our hotel was across
the street from one of the largest,
Hyde Hark, 340 acres first used by
Henry VIII for hunting deer, now
Filled with beautiful flowers, trees,
streams, pagodas, - Englishmen
walking their dogs, and at
Speaker's Corner, people who air
their views to anyone ’who will
listen.
In the Pubs^pub for public) we
met the working middle class
Englishmen — charming, volatile
and so interested in Americans, as
we were in them. We visited a
night club where these "reserved
conventional Britishers” danced in
groups and circles for all the
world like doing the Herr Schmidt
* - by (.jrace Kitzman
at a dance in Bandera. We also
went to a private club in a
beautiful old home where women
wore lovely long evening gowns
and the men full dress. In Soho,
their theatre district, we saw
excellent shows for much less
than the same shows in New York*
City. Another pleasure was seeing
a complete program on television
without a break for commercials.
And of course the wonderful,
wonderful sights that one really
goes to London to see —
Buckingham Palace, the Queen's
home in the middle of London,
with the colorful changing of the
Guard, sentries in scarlet,
marching and stamping like
mechanical toys — Westminister
Abbey, where kings have been
crowned and buried since 605 —
unbelievable — and coming out to
hear Big Ben bonging ou^thc hour
brings tears to yoilrseyes because
after all they j»re our ancestors
too. A trip down the Thames to
the Tower, which is really 13
Towers, where three beautiful
young queens, Anne Boleyn,
Catherine Howard and Lady Jane
Grey, and many, many others
were beheaded and buried with
their heads under their arms.
Queen Victoria had the bodies
exhumed and found 1300 of them
under the floor of the Chapel. At
the Tower too are kept the Crown
Jewels. The stones in the crowns,
including “The Great Star of
Africa'', heart shaped and
weighing 530 carats, the largest
.cut diamond in the world are so
tremendous they seem unreal like
HONORS GRANDDAUGHTER: -•
Mr. and Mrs. Earl E^pwell
honored their granddaughter,
Tommie Gayle Howell, with a
party on her First birthday
November 3.
Guests who came to help
Tommie open her gifts and play

pleasant days here with her sister
and husband, Mr. and Mrs.

so many things in this story book
kingdom. The Beefeaters, with
costumes unchanged since Henry
VII’s time, look exactly like they
do on the Beefeater Gin bottle.
Then further down the Thames
is Windsor Castle, famous the
world over as the residence of the
British Sovereign, was founded by
William the Conqueror, and has
been altered and extended by
nearly every succeeding monarch.
The State Apartments in which
foreign sovereigns visiting Her
Majesty are accomodated are
beautifully furnished and are hung
with priceless pictures of Rubens,
Rembrandt, Van Dyck and others.
The castle is high on a hill
overlooking the “playing Fields of
Eton”. >
Next on the trip down the
Thames is Hampton Court, in
many respects the Finest of all the
royal palaces. Built by Cardinal
Wolsey and afterword
“presented” not very willingly to
his royal master, Henry VIII,
Wolsey thereby keeping his head
on his shoulders six months
longer. It has 100 rooms and over
300 chimneys, each one different.
Here also is the famous
astronomical clock built for
Henry VIII showing the time, day,
month, year, moon position,
horoscope sign and tide, and never
misses. Near here too "is
Runnymeade, where the Magna
Charta was signed and where “one
acre of English soil” was given to
the United States in memory of
President John Kennedy.
There is so much to see it
would take years — St. Paul's
Cathedral, Christopher Wren’s
masterpiece — Trafalgar Square
with its pigeons everyone feeds
and the statue of Neldon (one
eye, one arm, one country), the
nearest England has to a national
hero — the British Museum, so
vast it overpowers you - the
National Gallery ah ft'the Tate
Gallery, so many priceless
paintings your mind and feet both
falter.
The elegant shops on Bond,
Regent and Oxford Streets - the
antiques in Porto Bello Road on
Saturday afternoons - tile Flea
Market on Petticoat Lane Sunday
morning — riding on a great
double decker bus, like sitting in a
traveling red grandstand. Much,
much more.
As we left and looked down
from the plane on this exciting
fairy tale isle with the sea frothing
up on its shores, we thought again
Shakespeare had said it better
when he called England “this
precious stone set in a silver sea.” .
