THE WEST NEWS — WEST. TEXAS
Travel Is My Beat
By Philip M. Bottfeld
Puhs, Antiques and Mellow
Ston — Two Hours from London
Time doesn't rush, it simply
lies there quitely, about that
lovely area of England west of
the Thames Valley, known as
the Cotswold Hills.
It's only twro hours from Lon-
don, but country lanes meander
through dozing villages of mel-
low stone. The picturesque
houses are often half-timbered
in the busy streets of larger
towns such as Stratford upon
Avon. Oxford and Tewkesbury.
From Oxford, drive North-
west through Woodstock, where
Sir Winston Churchill was born
at Blenheim Palace. His birth-
room is there. Then drive south
to Witney, which has for gen-
erations been famous for its
blankets, an off-shoot of the
Cotswold wool trade. The beau-
tiful manor houses all about date
from the days when this country
grew rich on sheep. A small car
is the best way to do it — a
Vauxhall Viva will cost $55 to
$75 per week, unlimited mileage,
depending on the company.
To get the true Cotswold feel-
ing. take secondary roads and
don't hurry. Just follow' the
finger boards. The perfect guide
book is Egon Rcnay's new
“Guide to Pub and Tourist
Sights.” It gives routes, fasci-
| natlng tld-blts and pubs and
inns along the way for 33 five-
day itineraries covering British
countryside. It’s a joint ven-
ture of British Tourist Authori-
ty and the Ronay organization,
Britain's closest thing to Mieh-
elin.
Near Witney is Minster Lovell
by tire River Windrush, a tribu-
tary of the Thames. This is the
locale of the tragic story of the
Mistletoe Bough. A girl of the
Lovell family hid in an oak
chest as part of her wedding
festivities and her skeleton and
wedding veil weren’t discovered
for years. It's only part of the
tragic history of this family,
whose 15th century manor
house, in ruins, broods over the
village.
But you won’t brood at the
Old Swan Inn (it is old, 500
yearsi with its warm cosy bar
and 9 rooms from about $6.50 a
night.
The ancient forest of the Wy-
chwood is nearby, now a nature
reserve. It is dotted with com-
pact towns redolently named
Ascot-under Wychwood, Ship-
ton-under-Wychwood and Mil-
ton-under-Wychwood. Then on
to Bourton-on-the-Water, which
has a tiny river flowing down
its main street spanned by
foot-bridges. In the garden of
the New Inn is a famous com-
plete model of the town built of
tiny stones. The tov i. like most
Cotswold villages, bursts with
antique shops. This year the an-
nual aquatic football match is
being held in August.
Next comes Broadway, prob-
ably the most famous village in
Britain. Despite thousands of
visitors, it still retains its pic-
turesque character. The Dormy
House Hotel is set above the
village on the golf course and
still has the character of a
private house. Rates begin at
$9.60 a night. The restaurant is
lovely and the waitresses are
pretty local lasses. A visit to
Broadway wouldn't be complete
without dinner or a night at
ciaries are up to date.
“ Get your business center in
order, talking over all business
matters with your spouse, next
of kin or a very close friend,”
the specialist continued.
“Consult your attorney about
the inventory and your plans to
determine what must be done to
protect loved ones.
"Making a will while your
spouse is alive has a definite
advantage — plans can be

We wish to express our sincere thanks and deep
appreciation to our many relatives and friends for their
prayers, kind deeds, and expressions of deep sympathy
extended to us in our reient bereavement, the death of
our loving husband, father, grandfather and great-
grandfather,
Will L. Karlik,
who died Monday, January 22, 1973.
We are especially grateful to the celebrants of the
Solemn Mass, Rev. George Doskocil and Rev. Earl Hed-
fcerg, to the Sisters and the choir, the pallbearers, staff
of the West Rest Haven and the West Community
Hospital, those who sent flowers, food, cards, and mass
offerings, to those who prepared and served the dinner
and to all those who paid tribute to his memory by
attending b.s rosarv and funeral.

After these country villages
Cheltenham seems Use a city.
A splendid Spa town, it became
famous for mineral springs aft-
er 1716. It is similar to Bath in
the weather and magnificence
of its Regency architecture. The
annual festival of Music, this
year July 6-15, has the most
elegant of settings. Four orches-
tras and famous soloists will be
on hand.
Cheltenham is also the ideal

explore the gorgeous shops in

There's a great view from

If You’re
Suddenly
Left Alone
Have you ever thought about
what you would do if suddenly
left alone? It's not a happy
thought — but happens to more
and more women each year.
Mrs. Doris Myers, home man-
agement specialist with the Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice, Texas A&M University,
j stressed the importance of re-
cording your wishes in a will,
j "Unfortunately, many women
1 fail to do so.
\ “Statistically, most married
! women become widows sooner
or later. Of course, sometimes
the men are left alone instead.
Still anotlmr situation involves
the single or unmarried woman,
j "Whatever the case, evcntual-
! iy the time will come when
j someone else will handle your
affairs. When that time comes,
can important papers be found
designating your wishes?"
To insure they are followed as
desired, Mrs Myers steressed be-
coming familiar with tlic state
laws concerning wills.
"After learning the proper
procedures and forms, put per-
sonal and business affairs in
order immediately.
“First, take an inventory of
what you have.
