London a Thrilling City By Charles Goe Executive Promotional Director Life of Christ Foundation How thrilling it was to be in London for two days. Coming into the huge city at night, we saw the masses of traffic con verging on the inner city. We arrived in the early eve ning and our receptionist greeted us at the airport. There had been a delay at Stuttgart and then another delay at Cologne, Germany. While waiting in the air terminal at Cologne, the young people sang several songs. They had sung at the Stuttgart air port also. At each place many people gathered to hear Forest Park Traveleers. London is a massive city of over 12,500,000 persons. This means that the English City could swallow up ten Atlantas. The bus was a luxurious coach with beautiful seats. Crowding its way into the expressways the bus driver skillfully edged his way through the other vehicles toward the inner city. For many young people this was the first time to ride on the left side of the road. Cars, trucks and busses all joined the parade as we inched into the city. It was a thrilling experience to know that many people were seeing the queen of 1 ng land for the first time. Many familiar signs greeted us along the roads. Coca-Cola was a dominant sign in all the cities. Reservations had been made for us at the famed Piccadilv COME CROW 8 WITH H s THE FASTEST-GROWING RESTAURANT CHAIN IN THE SOUTH security ( and excellent employer benefits, join the youn^ and growing team at Shoney s Big Boy J Restaurants of Atlanta. fl ■ OPENING NEW LOCATION I X. \ A 4180 Jonesboro Rd.

It is in the heart of London and has been a prestige spot for many years. After checking into our rooms, we went to the beauti ful dining room. The host wel comed us and very graciously brought Coca Colas to us at our table. We had met Mrs. Williams at the Grand New Hotel in Naz areth. Israel. She took a very special interest in our group. She had tried to schedule us on one of the three major TV stations, but found that they were prescheduled quite awhile in advance. Mrs. Williams invited the whole group to be her guests at noon at the Festival Hall Res taurant This was a most enjoy able experience and we had quick looks into the great hall. That night Mrs. Sarah Purp mort, Mrs. Esther Wu, Rebecca Wu, John Holder, Mrs. Goe and 1 went to see Mrs. Williams and Mary Louise, her daughter. We had a delightful visit in their London apartment. She prom ised to try to visit us in Atlanta. A morning visit to the out side of Buckingham Palace gave us an insight into some of Britain’s present and past. The Queen was there but we didn’t see her. She had returned from a vacation to be with many Prime Ministers from around the world. A later visit to the London lower gave us an insight into London’s past. We congratulate the people of London for the News of Servicemen PVT.
