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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
