ambitious north american youth that theyll go out of thirtr wiy to see that you are taken care of host hitcihblkers find that if they wear a school sweatshirt or jacket they have no trouble pttng ades to anywhere in canada a tew weeks ago i was talking to two boys who were thumbing their way to montreal from newmarket they were sporting a giant sign that read tort attend bc to halifax it works wonders explained the one we were telling the hat guy who picked us up all about the salmon fishing oo the west coast and be believed us i und of wondered about that since they were both carrying overnight bags from newmarket high but then students can get away with anything this week two girls from acton struck out for the west coast in a used car from one of those drlveltthereforus places in the ares theyre not sure if they will make it they dont know what theyll do when they get there theyre not sure how theyll gat hack thats the fun in it they say no adult would have the nerve in the hut few months thousands of students have flocked from all over canada to man and hi world on the expo site in montreal they hitchhike with sleeping hags and flake out on park benches under hushes or in alleyways they live on a diet that would give anyone over 25 a case of mono in a week but they have a marvel ous time sleeping accommodations are really no problem through ex perience ive found that policemen can be extremely helpful if you approach them with the right attitude in ottawa this spring the first thing they asked us when we inquired about a cheap place to stay was are you hippies apparently last summer they wore so over run with longhairs dropping in to spend the night that they were pulling in the welcome mat when we assured them we were only poor struggling students out for a short holiday after exams they put away their iron knuckles and were only too willing to phone around town for shideht faculties in quebec city an rcup officer was prepared to let us camp beside us little station on the plains of abraham we would have only it rained so we bartered with a hotel owner downtown plead ing the poor student routine and got the room for half price unfortunately the government has not established a system of youth hostels such as the ones found in cities all across europe however moat university residences offer accommodation at low rates to students in the summer trains and bus stations are always good for a quick nap the important thing there is to attempt to look like a legitimate traveller with your studentcard waving merrily in the breeze you dont seed big hank account all you need is the shining countenance of youth intelligence ambition and curiosity in addition you need to be smart enough to always remain within the law and humble enough to be willing to sleep on floors go without hot coffee in the morning and wear the same clothes for two days lu a row longer than that and you cease to be humble and become some thing else why wait youre only young enough to get away with such things for a few years ffiftsfiin of a dream tome everybody loved it and were u tired that was the cry as actons touring students charged down the landing ramp at ualton at 6 am friday morning after their onemonth visit to europe most of the parents had been waiting since four that morning the plane was nearly two hours late leaving london some of the girls were sport ing new dresses with the cam aby street label with sweaters from england and austria stuffed in their bags sharon whits came back with mora sweaters than anything else according to her mother bob boonette arrived hack with orange ballbottoms and a bate flacked jacket and gary dobble will be gay this tall inaeomplete english suit of green with the wide lapels and a gold turtles neck to match everyone should go espec ially to austria beamed ann watson elaine johnson agreed that the mountains at innsbruck were a highlight of the trip the group was fortunate enough to bit paris for bastille day and catch a glimpse of ou charles himself as be drove past in the parade some mm in paris is wearing bob bonaattes- camera it was stolen during the excitement of the parade and the friendly gendarmes never found 1l the students say they didnt encounter much of a language jvec jjrccs w- youth belated words innsbruck nancymorria wrotethe following letter to the free res from- iimshruck austria however because of the mail strlkelt could not get through so she brought it back with her on the plane last friday gutentagl this is the latest news report- from the acted globetrotters written by yours truly nancy morris snowcapped mountains flower decked chalets and stone topped roofs distinguish austria as being one of the most beautiful countries in the world gaten tag a customary austrian greeting is frequently heard each day in the friendly town of innsbruck where we are residing innsbruck is the only place where st on a sign means strasse instead of street and everyone carries canes whether they have trouble walking or not translated from german the language that austrian apeak innsbruck means inn bridge supposedly innsbruck had its foundations from its bridge which 18 the main one over the inn river so much for history innsbruck is a charming village but it only serves as our ac commodation station the rest of our time is spent taking various side trips in and out of the country cm one such occasion we travelled north into germany here we bad a tour through a fairylike castle which was built by an insane king as you can imagine it was quite a unique structure later we came back to reality long enough to visit the theater where the famous passion plays take place every ten years the time and effort put into these religious plays was quite an inspir ation to everyone no one can visit austria and not visit sals burg the home town of moaart the students who studied music in school had quite a i thrill from this in the same way the students who had seen the sound of music were entranced as they saw the famous glass house from the movie in reality mountain climbing anyone at every stop so far on our trip we have had at least one free day to do what we wish some of the more adventurous students decided to have a goat mountain climb- lng many who made it to the snow line went partly by cablo car while others just walked from the residence to make it up into the forest at any length everyone got beautiful snapshots that day one person reported having been caught in a billiard in the middle of july the highlight of our stay in austria was by far the tyrolean evening male and female dancers dressed in their native cost umes danced to the quickening beat of the tyrolean band other specialties of the group included a harp solo a saw duet and a cow bell trio to top the evening off the whole canadian group felt they would show their appreciation and srnga song themselves to show just how patriotic we are we all sang the centennial song of canada im afraid to say some students went back a bit homesick that night i bet most of the parents are wondering just what their sons and daughters do with their other evenings many students visited the playboy ebb while they were there but relax mother your children arent growing up that hist the playboy ehib is just the local discotheque fast beat music and colored lights flashing on and off made quite an impression on the canadians to be sure i have never seen anything quite like it in canada well that about finishes off our stay in austria i can only say that from what i bear from my fellow travellers they believe austria to be the most enjoyable stay on the trip so far from here we push on to exeter which we expect to be totally different from london paris or innsbruck there it is i tried my best i would appreciate it if you would excuse the writing and spelling as i am writing this late at night there isnt much more to say except you can be expecting
