See their roadside Mem- ModatiOns With an eye toward *este rather than a swimming pool, wall-to-wall, carpeting, or "Tree" TV. Motels have become eo elabere este and, ittXttriOne that rates nee,- •searilY have, had to be boosted 'anal it new costs more to -stay tt one of these places than at he small pity hotel, The Meter- deg public has begun; to resist the high rates and, actually is Peeking opt the smaller hotel 411,4 even the guest home which 4Imost has been lost in the bar- lege of publicity given to the tremendeus increase in the con- struction of motels. The motel actually came into being—first known as overnight stabine—as the result of the high costs of hotel rooms. The motel types of accommodations boast- esd low rates, easy accessibility, end reasonable comfort. And be- Oause of their simplicity they ite^ew in popularity. They also grew in numbers 'until today there is the definite danger that there are too many Motels. Where there used to be One or two motels in an area there are a dozen or more. In- stead of those one or two motels 'being filled each night, "Vacan- cy" signs swing from the sign posts of the "dozen or more." With the traVeler looking more closely these days at his pocketbook there is the serious possibilty that motels are pric- ing themselves right out of bus- iness. Many motorists are returning to the small hotel and the guest house. The small hotel, it should be pointed out, reeled on the brink of financial disaster when motels came into being with their spacious parking areas and easy check-in formalitieS, But they have been making a strong comeback. They provide' free parking areas, They encourage the traveler to come dressed "as Is" and provides entrances which bypass the main lobby. Some of the chief advantages of staying at a hotel are the many services provided under one roof—a dining room, room service, laundry, and cleaning, to mention a few, writes Leavitt F. Morris in the Christian Science Monitor. Guests houses are another type of accommodation that is making a comeback. Their rates, for the most part, are amazingly low for what they offer. The traveler can usually tell by the outward appearance of the place whether it will suit his need. Often pri- 'Siete baths are available. But a, family of four can;save as much, as 50 per cent ,by stopping at a guest home. - Motel operators are quite aware of the price resistance by the motoring public and often will make, "deals" rather than let a guest 'get away, One trav- eler recently related„how he and his wife, on a motor trip to California, budgeted a set amount for their motel accom- modations. When the rate quoted was higher than -their figure they merely said they would pay just so much and in the majority of cases they were not turned away. When they couldn't get the motel owner to come down they mere- ly drove along to the next one and easily came to terms, Dickering over a motel room is something f disapprove, And 1- am sure the conscientious mo- tel operator does, too. But it is my feeling that the motel indus- try must take a good long look at itself and determine if it hasn't overpriced its accommo- dations from the viewpoint of what the public can stand.

One very good way to ac- complish this is to turn up the hem and stick it into place with some adhesive tape. Q. What can I do about the dents in carpeting, caused by heavy articles of furniture which have been moved to other spots? A. You can fluff these dents in your carpeting back to shape by covering them with a damp cloth, then applying a hot iron, following this with a brushing with a stiff brush.

The more People ttlk about him, the more they'll come to see his staid, home, After work, the Duke occa- sionally drives up to town.

Originally,it cost sE8,500 end was a present froM the owner to jockey Lester Piggott when he rode Sir Victor Sasscon's first Derby winner. The Duke drives very fast. He cruises down the M.1 motorway so smoothly that one seems to be floating on air, When you ask him what speed he's travel- ling, it turns out he's touching ninety-seven miles an hour. The Duke is a happy man. He accounts for his current content- ed outlook on life thus: "Making people happy is the greatest happiness in the world," he says. "An artist creates hap- piness with his talent. I strive to do it through the medium of my wonderful inheritance and thereby to preseeve it for my ,son and the generations that wilt follow." The, Bedford motto is Che Sara, Sara . "What will be, will be." John Robert Russell, the 13th Duke, is making sure that whatever else won't, Wo- burn, Abbey always will be, 1 4 4 4 I 4 I I HIGH -1 SCHOOL AT HOME IN SPARE TIME Those people who dismiss John Robert 1.ussell, 13th Duke of Bedford, 'as just a shovvMan, couldn't be more wrong, He is A man of taste, culture and dis- cernment, and an extremely shrewd 'businessman. It's true that at his home, Woburn Abbey, the Duke puts on one of the greatest shows on earth, It grosses more than eq.1.00,000 annually and is grow- ing all the time. Last year there were 462,000 satisfied customers; this year he hopes to top the half-million mark, But the Duke is not ashamed of capitalizing ,on his ancestors. It's the only way he can keep Woburn running and in good order. II i s forbears weren't above marrying for - money arid John, the 13th Duke, is quite realistic about using every le- gitimate device to keep the 23,- 000-acre Woburn estate intact, "They did what they had to do," says the Duke in a quiet but forthright fashion. "And I do what I've got to do, This is the age of the ordinary man. Everybody's got a car or motor- bike and he wants to use it to go somewhere and see some- thing. He wants entertainment and I give it to him — with a little instruction thrown in — at half a crown a time, and a shilling for " children, Call it escapism if you like. I call it sshow business." The Duke, tall, elegant in well- cut dark-grey worsted, moves smoothly about his library as he speaks. It's built on Ahe.same heroic scale as the rest Of the house. You can pack te fair-sized block of modern hats in the space it occupies. His Grace waves a well-tended hand in the air in a gesture em- bracing the walls, furniture and drapings. "This is show business. No doubt about it. Being a Duke today means you're in show biz up. to the neck, otherwise you simply can't exist, let alone live in the manner in which the pub- lic thinks you should live." The old 'nesters framed above the leather-lined books look doWn from, the walls. Could it be with approval? There's some- thing approaching half a million pounds' worth of paintings, in this room alone. A Rembrandt self-portrait, a Hogarth self- portrait, a Hals, a Cuyp. And a dozen other 'selected masters pieces. "It was the fourth or fifth Duke who was responsible for most of those," says the 13th Duke casually. "He thought the walls looked a bit bare, so he sent his steward to buy some paintings. Fortunately he came Low monthly payments include standard text books and instruc- tion.

Please send FREE High School Booklet, back with mostly Dutch pit- tures," He nods towards the Rembrandt: 'That self portrait there, for example, cost X:16. It's probably worth anything up to £100,000 'today. Ivialces you. think, doesn't it?" These astronomic sums mean very little to a man who, when he inherited Woburn and the Dukedom, also found himself saddled with a £5,000,000 bill for death duties. That was six years ago, since when he has paid off all but a million and a half, which he confidently ex- pects to settle within three or four years. When he took over Woburn, the Abbey was in , an appalling condition, It hadn't been decor- ated for close on a hundred years. Half of it had been knock- ed down by his father, the, 12th Duke, who was interested only in birds, animals and fish. What. was left was jam-packed with furniture, china and pictures piled higgledy-piggledly all over the place. Within six months; working eighteen hours a day most of the time the 13th Duke had everything ready for visit- ors. Queen Elizabeth didn't sleep Isere. But Charles I did, several times. So did Queen Victoria. And the magnificent State Bed- room with its fabulous tapestries (newly restored by a secret pro- cess) is one of the most popular sights in the entire Abbey, His forbears had the Mack of adroit fence-sqUatting. They fought on both sides during the civil war, as Roundheads and Cavaliers. Hence they managed to preserve the Abbey intact until the 12th Duke's bulldozers got to work on it, The Great Park — 3,000 beau- tiful green acres of it — is alive with rare birds, bison and herds of deer. That, and the house, should have been sufficient to draw the world to Woburn. But the 13th Duke decided it wasn't enough. ,He installed a children's ' zoo, a maze, swings, roundabouts and all the fun of the fair. At odd times he has staged parachute jumps, traction en- gine rallies (this drew 20,000 visitors), horse shows, a nudist convention (a washout owing to rain), scooter rallies and politi- cal rallies (Selwyn Lloyd drew a 37,000 Conservative attend- ance). "Anybody can held a rally here," says this most democratic of Dukes. "Even the Communist party. Provided they behave themselves, pay the bills and clear up the mess." In the planning stage ate jazz festivals, bowling alleys, fish= ing and boating lakes, swimming pools and tennis courts. Any- thing, in fact, in the entertain- ment, line that will tickle the' mid-20th Century palate, writes Sidney Vauncey in "Tit-Bits." These ventures need consider- able staff. Apart from the Duke's administrative personnel, he em- ploys 250 people. There are six's night watchmen. And fourteen Mrs. Mopps come to clean tip the Abbey every day, Not excessive, really when one considers Filet the 11th Duke never had newer then fifty indoor servants alone. All this is tremendously exact- ing work, but the Duke has come up the hard way, Re's used to having it rough. At sixteen, then Lord Hosvidred, he was pitch- ; forked into London to fend for himself on a pittance. of 40e per annum. Then he became a reporter on a national daily and later when he inherited some money, he started a fruit farm in South Africa. These days the Duke septets .1 himself primarily as a show- man, Fle IS always around at Woburn on visiting clays, sign- ing autographs and keeping, it very :sharp eye on things.
