Born too soon?

Thousands of university students annually
take a year off, borrow some money. stuff a.
packsack and head out for a year of bumming
arpund Europe, the Mediterranean, North
Africa, India. Rotten kids!. „.
In the last decade, the travel bug -has spilled
over into the high schools, Some of there are
beginning to . sound like agencies. with
efreqtlent announcements over the P.A.
system:
"Will the group going to Rome in the winter
break please assemble in Room 202 at 3:30 for
a lesson in, tying your toga."
e'All those taking the Venezuela.• trip are
requested to see Mr. Va gabond in room 727 at
3:15 today," ••
"Those who are involved in the spring
,break trip td the Canary Islands should have
their passports by March let."
.''There will be a meeting today in Room
Quatorze for all students going to the Quebec
Winter Carnival. No separatists, please."
"Art urgent meeting will be held to 'day for
those who plan to take the London-Paris trip
during spring break. All seats arc now filled.
If enough are interested, we'll hire another
plane."
It fairly makes your head swin. especially
when yourown idea of a trip south is 100 miles,.
to the city for a weekend, a trip west means a
visit to great-grandad.„and a trip cast means
- 'you're gOing--te a funeral ora Wedding among
the relatives,•, --• - -
, Next thing yOu know, this travel binge will
bulge over into the elementary schools, and
great 747-toads of little . shavers 'from Grade
Eight will be descending on the unsuspecting
residents of Hong Kong and Rio de Janeiro:
Lord help theme The residents. not the kids.
Perhpas this sounds like sour grapes. Well,
it is. As Shaw, aid: "The trouble with, youth is
that it is wasted on the young." And'as. Smiley
says: "The trouble with travel is that it is
wasted on kids who don't know -a Grecian urn
front an Italian ,pizza." •
-Oh, Ws- not -that I haven't• travelled. I've
been ,to Great Britain. And spent. two years
e staggering around in the blackout or wading
through the torrential rains. of bonnie
Scotland. I've been to France. Slept. five
weeks' in a tent in an orchard in Normandy.
Been to Belgium. Antwerp buzzbombs.
Know. Holland well. Spent two weeks locked in
a box-ear in as failway siding at Utrecht. Am
intimately -acq uaiMed with .Germany . Was
bombed in Braunsweig and Leipzig, .and..spent. -
a delightful six, months in -salubrions
Poinerania, as a guest of the Third Reich.
Oh, I've been. . around • alright. . But
somehow it wasn't quite the same. Rattling
through Deutschland on a-train- with a.10-day
stubble of beard on your chin and a tagend of
'sour black bread stuffed into your' battledress
blouse is not quite similar to climbipg aboard'
a 747 with -your tote-bag 'and waiting:for the
stewardess to bring oyour first meal. •.
-Would, I trade? Not on your-life.. •

, Can't you tell? I'm wearing this sign stuck
on my lapel. The woman at. the door gave it to
me when I registered at the desk for this
weekend seminar on church music. It's, a
wwoorrskhslhpo p• on the use of hymns in public
Just introduce yourself around, - she said.
Make yourself at home. Have a cup of coffee.
Circulate.' Get to know everyone. They'll be
happy to meet you,
But what if I don't feel friendly? What if I
don't want to circulate? What if I'd rather go
to my-seat? Sit down. Wait. In quiet before the
speaker begins.
I had enough coffee today already. I'm tired
Saw lots of people. So I walked into the
auditorium-. Sat down. Rested. Waited.
Waited Until the acknowledgedauthority on
church hymnody, Erik Routley began to
speak.
Score. one -for the.
About an hour later I heard 'a sigh of relief ,
come over two clergymen who sat a couple of
-chairs over. I knew they were clergymen.
Those turned around collars. I didn't hay.e.ney,._„...
glasses on. I couldn't read their friendly name
tag, but I know clergy threads when I see .
them.
But those two men exhaled with .thet's-the-
exact-way-lefeel-about!it, only let's -'face it.
They never had -the courage to say it-out loud,
in public like Dr. Routley had. ,
Erik Routley said he was embarrassed by
much of the enforced friendliness in the
church. You know the kind. There you are. A
perfect stranger in a congregation and then all
of a sudden the minister says shake hands
with the person you're sitting next to. Or turn ,
arouncland say good morning to the ,fellow 'to
back'of you. Or extend your hand and say
"The Lord be with you" to someone and then . , aim

Hello.
I'm Karl. ,
I'm friendly.
a woman?
But anyway. This beer bug of famiPerity.is
quite Oriental And common. And after that
hug of friendship can come the kiss of peace.,
Wow! Sitting next to a woman may not be so
bad after all,
Dr. Routley says when•all this timed and
planned hospitality gees on, he feels
something like a six year old child again. Back'
to mummy when she told him hew to act. Be
nice, now, Erik. Be friendly. Say "hello" now.
Ele friendly to Mr. Thompson, out visitor.
Wave goodbye now. Sit. Stand. You reargo-
now. -
And Dr. Routley said when he came froth
Englatid three years ago to teach in the States,
he personally determined not to join a church
of bear eh,uggers, plastered smiles, hand
pumpers and head bobbers. He said he.
wanted to relax "into" a congregation. A his
own rate. In his own time.
Score One -for Dr. Routley.
And then in the question period of the
opening session, I asked him about all those
sad and sentimental tunes we sing at funerals,
I' wondered why we don't insist on joyful,
triumphant hymns--hymns that speak of hope,
Easter and resurrection.
Dr, Routley replied he hoped people would
choose those kind of victory hymns, but, then,
he reminded me you can't make people feel
certain ways, especially at a time like that.
Feeling sad and sorrowful ;nay be the • singing- • -
dominant mood of the day. You can't hold up
signs that-dictate, "Be joyful". "Remember
heaven" and think that will change 'the
feeling.
It's time well spent, Dr. Routley insisted, if
his ministry of 40 years influenced only one
person. For that much, he'd be most grateful.
Score two for Dr. Routley.
Score three for his Lnrd •

Water Heaters •
Except for heating and cooling equip,
ment, the water heater is the most
expensive appliance- to operate. Use
warm or cool water instead of hot when
possible,
Use cold water for your washing
machine whenever possible.
Do not -wash dishes under hot running
water.
Ovens and Ranges
( • ) Avoid wasted heat and cooking time by
using-;pans that ore the same size as the
unit, • •
• ( ) Use pans with flat, undented, bottoms
• and tight-fitting lids. Cook food covered
whenever possible.
) Boil only the water you need, When the
• water reaches the boiling point, reduce
the flame or lowei the setting.
)
Vegetables should be cooked- in small
amounts of water, Don't overcook themi
„ crisp-tender vegetcibles taste better"
. and retain more vitamins.
(- • ) On -electric stoves, the burners can be -
turned off a few minutes before the food
is done. rhe stated heat will continue to
• cook the food.
( ) Prepare double or triple quantities of
food that require long cooking — stews,
soups,•tpaghetti sauce — then freeze.. -
YOU can, store frozen food arid reheat
-it for less than it costs to start from
scratch,
Television, Radio, Lighting ,
All incandescent lights . in unoccupied '
rooms should be turned' off, even when
you will be away for only a few
minutes, . •
( ) Keep shades and bulbs dust free -for
more efftclency, •
( ,) Use lower-watt bulbs when practical.
( ) Before installing new fixtures, consider
using fluorescent lights. They lost about
ten times longer than incodescent bulbs
and are four times as efficient.
( ) A dock tinter, rather than leaving the
lights on, is an excellent why-to—prated
your home from prowlers. •
-, Refrigerators and Freezers
(Don't place the'm next to your range or in
a sunny spot.
) Don't open refrigerator or freezer doors
more than necessary.
) Keep your refrigerator only as cold as
necessary (34 degrees to 40 degrees F).
) Don't set your freezer lower than neces- •

There are times when I am convinced that 1
was born 30 years too soon. One of them
occurs when I see the wonderful opportunities
for travel that young people haVe today. They
' make meePeagreen with envy.
When you and I were young. Maggie. most
• of us didn't get much farther than the next
tOn. A minority visited the city occaSionally,
e end it was considered a big deafeAnd a whale ,•
Oa lot of people never'did get to see a big city..
in their entire lives. And were no worse off.for
it. of course.
Man, how that has changed. Nowadays.,
• young people go galloping off to the four"
cornet's of the earth with no more thought,
about it than %Ve'd have given to a weekend in
the city. They're so blase about it that it's
sickening to an old guy like me, who has
always yearned to travel. and never had the
time or money or freedom to do it.
hr 'my day,, during the Depression, the only
people who could afford to travel were the,
hoboes. They could atThril it because they
didn't have any money. They rode free ote the
tops and inside the box-ears of freight trains.
And they didn't. have any responsibilities
except the next meal and. a place to sleep.
Looking back, I 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 fort-W-on the highroads &life.-
was- the envy of my class-mates,. .wheneeut
• seventeen., I nabbed a job on the. upper lake
bitats, and could come ;home bragging of
having been to such biierre. exotic places as
.Duluth, • Sault Ste.' Marie, ,Detroit, the
lakehead.
Today's younget ors WO a CI sneer at . such
bourgeois travels. They exchange anecdotes
• about Morocco and 'Moscow, .Ath ens .ane
Atietralia, Paris and Port-au-Prince. Delhi and
Dubrovnik, Fair nauseates • me, it. does.
By the time he Was 22. my own son' had.
lived on 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: Right new he's in
Paraguay, South America, and has visited
Argentina and . Bolivia. • He speaks : four
languages. l speak one, not too well. .•
