HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1970-10-29, Page 13under metal roof shelters, or in
stacks protected with poly
paper. Sheep were everywhere
especially in the highlands of
Scotland.
The houses, barns and other
outbuildings were built of brick
or stone with tile roofs.
Flowers were in abundance;
every house has its garden, be it
ever so small. Roses, dahlias, and
marigolds were most common
and all were in magnificent
bloom.
The row housing was
something different with each
house, approximately 20 feet
wide, being painted from the
ground to the roof, in different
colors, with no two houses alike.
Seeing all the chimneys with
from four to sixteen flues was
also interesting and unusual for
us.
The road building program
was in evidence everywhere. We
saw new super highways,
overpasses and bridges as well as
the old winding roads.
The tour gave us a two night
stay in Edinburgh and my wife
and I were able to contact Julia
Higgin's relatives in Paisley.
They took us on a car trip to
Loch Lomand, Loch Long and
the surrounding countryside. We
also got a good view of the U.S.
submarine, Polaris, as it cruised
slowly along Loch Long ab&ut
three parts out of the water.
We connected back with the
tour and continued on. A
number of castles were visited
and we stopped over at King
Arthur's Castle for one night.
The rattle of the windows
seemed to indicate his ghost was
around.
In London we visited
Buckingham Palace, saw the
Changing of the Guard, the
Crown Jewels, Tower Bridge,
and a six o'clock traffic jam.
We were told seven million
people commute to and from
London daily.
We had wonderful weather
(only one foggy day), good food
and good beds. The temperature
was from low 50's to middle
60's.
It was a great
... immensely enjoyed.

One hundred and eighty one
persons, many from this area,
took advantage of a charter
flight to England, Scotland and
Wales. They left September 29;
were bused to Malton Airport
and returned last Friday.
All of them 'did their own
thing'. Many went to visit
relatives and friends; others
shopped and went sight-seeing
by renting cars and driving to
points that mainly interested
them.
A. J. Sweitzer and his wife
were among 80 who chose to
take a 12 day conducted bus
tour through England and
Scotland, and upon returning to
Exeter Mr. Sweitzer jotted down
the highlights of the interesting
trip.
By A. J. SWEITZER
Two coaches carrying
passengers from Exeter, Zurich.
Hensall and surrounding districts
started out from London,
England, travelled across
southern England, through
Wales, up through Scotland to
the North Sea and bacic to
London.
We travelled over narrow,
winding, paved roads with
hedges and stone fences up close
to the pavement, and arrived at
the coastal town of Torquay,
October 3.
The next day being Sunday
was a day of Leisure, and Mr. &
Mrs. Norman Walper and Mrs.
Sweitzer and myself visited the
picturesque city of Exeter some
24 miles from Torquay. The
weather was foggy and I was
sorry not to be able to take
some good pictures.
Monday morning we were on
the road again with
summerfallow fields, apple
orchards and the stone and
hedges fences on every side.
There were also fields of
swathed barley, not yet
combined due to the wet
weather. There were crops of
turnips, sugar beets, cabbage and
potatoes in the agricultural
areas. Baled hay was stored

Our thing has always been to make
the Bug solid, dependable and practical.
But lately, some people have been
taking our thing, and doing their own. (Like
adding cute flowers and kinky paint lobs.)
Frankly, we're delighted.
And what's more, we'd like to
offer a few suggestions: like snazzy mag
wheels, chrome stoneguards, driving
lights, or our racy racing stripes. (You
can get them at any VW dealer's.)
The beauty of it all is, that now
you can take an old Beetle and put it
back in the groove, or do some far out
things to a new one.
We've always built the Volkswagen
tough enough to survive anything anybody
or any place could dish out,
Now it looks like it will
even survive a whole new gen-
eration.
