Georgetown Acton Wednesday Mar 1964 Trouble with travel its wasted on kids Sometimes lam convinced I wis bom 30 years too soon When I see the wonderful opportunities for travel young people have today I torn peagreen envy When you and I were young most of us didat get much farther than the next town A minority visited the city occasionally and it was considered a big deal And a whale of a lot of people never did get to see a bag city their entire lives And were no worse off Tor it of course Man bow that has changed Nowadays young people go galloping off to the four camera of the earth with no more thought about it than wed have given to a weekend in the city Theyre so blase about It that its sickening to an old guy like me who hat always yearned to travel and never had the time or money or freedom to do It In my day the Depression the only people who could afford to travel were the hoboes They could afford it because they have any money They rode free on the tops and inside the boxcars of freight trains And they didnt have any responsibilities except the next meal and a place to sleep Looking back 1 was one of the lucky ones Most of my generation of youth was forced by circumstances to stay home get any job available and hang on to It like grim death never venturing forth on the highroads of life I was the envy of my classmates when at 17 1 cabbed a Job on the upper lake boats and could come borne bragging of have been to such bnarre exotic places as Dulutfa Saul Ste Marie Detroit the Todays youngsters would sneer at such bourgeois travels They exchange anec dotes about Morocco and Mcwcow Athena and Australia Paris and PortauPrince Delhi and Fair nauseates me it does By the time he was my own son had lived or both coasts of Canada been to Mexico New Orleans Texas Israel Ireland and a hundred other places that are just names In an atlas to me Hes been to Paraguay South America and has Argentina and Bolivia He speaks our languages I speak one not too well My nephews have seen more countries than Chris Columbus or Sir Francis Drake Ones an airline pilot and knows Europe North America and West Indies the way I know my way to school Another has worked in the Canadian north Quebec the Congo Jamaica and Costa Rica My nieces are just as penpatelic Theyve been to the West Coast France England Russia A fourday trip to New York lor them is scarcely worth men tioning Id have given my left eyeball to see New York when was their I thought it was pretty earthshaking he first time I saw Toronto Toronto Thousands of university students an take a year off borrow some money stuff a bead out for a year of bumming around Europe the Mediterranean North Africa India Rotten kids In the last decade the travel bug has spilled over to the high schools Some of arc beginning to sound like agencies with frequent announcements over the PA WiU the group going to Rome In the winter break please assemble in Roam at JO for a lesson in tying your toga All those taking the Veoexuela trip are requested to see Mr Vagabond room at 3 15 today Those who are involved In the spring break trip to the Canary Islands should have their passports by March 1st An urgent meeting will be held today for those who plan to take the London- Paris trip during spring break All seats are now filled If enough are interested well hire another plane It fairly makes your head swim especially when your own idea of a trip south is 100 miles to the for a weekend a trip west means a visit to greatgrandad and a trip east means youre going to a funeral or a wedding among the relatives Next thing you know this travel binge will bulge over into the elementary schools and great of little shavers from Grade Eight will be descending on the unsuspecting residents of Hong Kong and Rio Janeiro Lord help them The residents not the kids Perhaps this sounds like sour grapes is As Shaw said The trouble with youth is that it is wasted on the young And as Smiley says The trouble with travel is hat it is wasted on kids who dont know a Grecian urn from an Italian pit- Oh its not that I travelled Ive been to Great Britain And spent two years staggering around in the blackout or wading through the torrential rains of to France Sept Ave weeks in a tent in an orchard in Nor mandy Been to Belgium Antwerp buizbombs Know Holland well Spent two weeks locked in a boxcar in a railway siding at Utrecht Am intimately acquainted with Germany Was bombed In and Leipzig and spent a delightful six months in salubrious as a guest of the Third Reich Oh Ive been around all right But somehow It quite the same Rat tling through a train a IDday stubble of beard on your chin and a tagend of sour black bread stuffed into your battlcdress blouse is not quite similar to climbing aboard a 747 with your totebag and waiting for the stewardess to bring your first Would 1 trade Not on your life GEORGETOWN 8775266 ACTON You may now charge your classified advertisement to your Chargex Account
