Colleagues casually mention that they're off to the Caribbean or Mexico or the Canary Lslands or some such exotica. It's con- sidered passe these days to go merely to Florida. ' . Students will be descending in throngs on places like Athens, .Rome, Paris, London. Chief reason is that air travel is no longer for the rich only. Package deals and charter flights put a mid -winter break within reach of us ordinary Joes.

Twenty-eight lousy pounds a week, because it's the off season. That is about 60 bucks. They couldn't stay home for much less.

I hope I get a better reception than I did last time I visited that country. . Last time I ventured into Ger- many was almost thirty years ago. There was a fairly large and _assorted company in the group I travelled with: privates, cor- porals, sergeants and one Flying Officer—me. We had no trouble getting into Germany, even though we had no passports. Perhaps it was be- cause of the efficiency of our tour guides. There were eight of them, and they were extremely at- tentive. They would even accom- pany one when one had to relieve No wonder kids today can't spell If your kids can't spell as well as you think they should, part of the fault may lie' with widespread disagreement among leading dictionaries.

The guides were tastefully ar- rayed in field -gray, and hatl simi- lar accessories—guns. I can't kick, however. I'll bet I was the only POW who rode across the German border on a bicycle. I couldn't walk because of a well -aimed kick on the knee- cap, and they were sure as hell not going to carry me, so they let me ride one of their bikes. I'll never forget the first place we stayed at, in Germany. It was my first taste of that old-world charm. It lacked a few of the amenities we spoiled North Americans are accustomed to, but it had a quaintness all its own. It was a barn. There was nobody there but us chickens, the cattle, and the tour guides. At that, it was practically cosy after a couple of weeks living in a box -car, in Holland. It was a mite chilly, being November; but we paired off and curled up in the hay, like so many sets4af spoons. I \ drew a big, ugly Canadian ' private from St. Catharines with a bullet wound in his neck which stank a bit. But he was warm. One of our next stops was the delightful old city of Brunswick. where we spent an enchantieig three hours in the air raid she/ter, during a raid. It was worth it: The German equivalent of Red Cross ladies gave us coffee, ersatz k?ut hot, the first hot drink we'd had for days. Some other highlights of my visit were: the interrogation centre and "solitary"' near Frankfort; rolling on a train through a night attack on 4eipzig; windows shattering, flares and bombs falling ; a look from a train at the appalling rubble of Ham- burg; hitch -hiking back from deep inside the Russian lines to Rostock; a visit to the concentra- tion camp at Celle. This visit couldn't be more interesting, but it should be more comfortable. I'm not going by bi- cycle, but by jet: And my kid brother, the Colonel, is over there. He didn't know enough to get out of the air force„ and has nothing to look forward to but a big, fat pension any day now. tut he'd better have the band out, the red carpet down, and the lieb- fraumilch laid on, or he's in deep trouble.
