SCOTCH COUNTRYSIDE PROSPEROUS
Local Travel Agent Enjoys
Tour Of Ireland, Switzerland
By CLARK COX
Glenn W. Wilcox, manager of
the Wilcox Travel Agency in
Boone, ha* returned from a
two-week tour of Europe, where
he visited representatives of
the travel agency in several
countries.
Wilcox's itinerary included
Scotland, Ireland, England, Den
mark, France, Germany, and
Switxerland.
The trip 'had a twofold pur
pose: to acquaint foreign travel
directors with outstanding tour
ist attractions in this area of
America, and to make arrange
ments for future tours to places
of interest throughout Europe.
While performing these duties,
Wilcox said, he enjoyed nn en
tertaining and informative tour
on his own part.
Leaving from Charlotte via
Eastern Airlines, Wilcox flew
first to New York City and
thence to Glascow, Scotland,
which he described as a charm
ing city albeit very dirty as
the result of the huge ship
building industry and the fact
that every house seemed to
have four or five chimneys
(central heating is a rarity in
Scotland).
In fact, Wilcox seemed more
impressed with Scotland and
Ireland than with any other
countries which he visited as
largely untapped lodes of travel
attractions. "The people of
these two countries are the
nicest people in the world ?
why, it's just like being back
in Boone," Wilcox said. "And
the food they serve in Scot
land and Ireland cannot be
matched."
Flying from Glascow to Edin
burgh, Wilcox met Hector Mc
Lean, Scotland's top golfer,
who led him on ? brief tour of
golf courses which impressed
Wilcox greatly with the pos
sibility of organising golf tours
to Scotland.
"We went first to St. An
drews Golf Course, where the
game originated," Wilcox said.
"St. Andrews is the Hecca of
golf, and it is every golfer's
dream to play there someday.
"The course is beautiful, a
7,000-yard layout with tremend
ous greens, snd it is kept in
top condition. Furthermore, it
is not crowded at all; but it is
very difficult to play, because
the Scots require you to think
at all times on a golf course.
They have deep sand traps
placed right in the middle of
fairways, for instance. They be
lieve in making a 'hazard' a
real hazard, and they are very
strict sbout allowing you to im
prove your lie under winter
rules."
Wilcox, in his first try on the
difficult course, shot a remark
able 82.
Other courses which Wilcox
visited during his three-day
stay in Scotland Included Car
noustie, where Ben Hogan once
won the British Open; and
Glen Eagles, a massive affair
containing two full courses ?
the King's Course and the
Queen's Course.
Farming In Scotland is very
prosperous, Wilcox said.
"Among the rural people," he
continued, "there is almost no
real poverty ? less, I would say,
than anywhere else. But there
is no great prosperity, either.
The average Scot is less well
off than the average middle
class American.
"The farms are very small,
the buildings not fancy but
very clean and neat and sub
stantial. They all look pretty
much alike, since all buildings
in Britain have to be approved
before building by the Govern
ment and a permit granted for
them. People even have to have
a permit to add rooms.
"Land prices are quite high
both in Scotland and Ireland.
A simple home over there will
coat just as much as a com
pletely modern home here, and
since these countries are very
limited in area, prices for the
land have skyrocketed."
Hotel prices are about the
same in Britain as here, Wilcox
reported, while food prices are
about one-third less.
England failed to impress
Wilcox as 'greatly 'as Scotland
and Ireland, however. "It seems
too crowded and foggy and
dirty," he said. "But I under
stand that most of England's
rural areas are beautiful."
From London, Wilcox flew
to Copenhagen, Denmark, which
he describes as a play and re
sort area similar to Miami, Fla.,
though with a thoroughly differ
ent climate. But living expen
ea are exceptionally high there,
he said; and the welfare-state
arrangement which Scandina
vian governments have adopted
seems to have worked a num
ber of hardships on citizens of
Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
From Copenhagen, Wilcox
flew for brief visits to Frank
fort, Germany and then to the
Swiss cities of Geneva and Zur
ich. "Tourst attractons seem to
ibe even morep revalent in Zur
ich than in the traditional re
sort city of Geneva," he re
ported.
Wilcox then flew to Paris be
fore returning to the United
States. "Paris is one of the
most beautiful cities in the
world," he said. "It's on a par
with Rome as far as beautiful
sights are concerned, and it's
probably the night-life capitol
of Europe. But expenses there,
too, are high ? a result of the
great amount of commercializa
tion with tourists in mind."
Wilcox noted that traffic was
light in all the rural areas
which he visited, an indication
that, although most European*
now own cars, few families own
two or more as is the case in
America. "I'd say that 75 pen
cent of all European travel is
done by rail," Wilcox said. >
Though European countries
have made great economic
strides since the war, it seem
ed apparent to Wilcox that
America is still far away the
most prosperous of all nations.
"I enjoyed the trip immense
ly," Wilcox stated, "but I still
firmly believe that Boone is
the finest place in the world."
