Castles, Canoes; Bicycles, Barns All in Days Work for 'Pioneers' Though one can’t move any far ther west without getting wet feet, there is still room in the world for the pioneer spilit. The American Youth Hostel movement has been active in Amer ica since the early thirties and ex ists in 20 other countries. Rugged (in the true meaning of that word) people, people who like to learn their geography first hand, and people who just feel an overwhelm in greed for fresh air, travel this way. No Snowshoes? Small groups “between the ages of 4 and 94” who enjoy the out doors journey by foot, bicycle, skis, horseback or canoe through the country—any country—in a lei surely fashion. This is called hos teling. Nights are spent at private homes, barns, or castles equipped for the purpose and sponsored by a house mother and father. These stops are called hostels. Inexpensive, Yet The usual price per night is 25 cents; the whole hosteling system is designed to be gentle with the pocketbook. The most common travel mode is bicycle. The movement was started in Germany by a young school teach er, Richard Schirrman, who was transplanted from his East Prus sian home to a large industrial cen ter. Schirrman took his students out of the city for country hikes, but he wished for some sort of over night lodging so they could make longer Jaunts. Castle Was Beginning When, in 1910, he was made ad ministrator of a twelfth century castle, Burg Altena, he furnished part of it as the first youth hostel. Bicycle loving Europeans caught on rapidly, and by 1939 there were 2000 hostels in Germany alone and many more throughout the conti nent, England, and Scandinavia. Schirrman resigned in 1933 when the Nazis took over the hostels. Under the direction of St. John Catchpool (hostelers call him Jack) England built most of her own stop-overs during work holidays. (Working is the popular way to spend holidays in England, accord ing to the “Knapsack,” AYH pub lication which also gives handy bits of information such as how to ask for a free bath in Spanish, Ger man and French.) Smiths Founders The youth hostel movement in the United States was started by Iscbel and Monroe Smith. U. S. | headquarters address is North field, Mass. Travelers may go alone, or in their own groups, but the AYH sponsors innumerable trips. Many of these are through New England, Quebec and Montreal, Prince Ed ward Island and the northeast coast in general. The total cost ex cluding spending money is $125 a person for about seven weeks. Hosteling is also well established in British Columbia. The trails around Vancouver island and lake Okanagan are popular. In Alberta, most of the hosteling is done on horseback. Bide Rods and Save In the United States there are also ‘‘rolling hostels” (via train, chiefly) from east to west, and vice versa. Only for those with previous ex perience are such expeditions as the one into Germany to rebuild the destroyed hostels. Other very rough trips are those through Mexico, or through Central and South America wher'e there are no organized hostels. Bank at Homes Of European countries, perhaps the most popular is the Scandina via tour, for the bicyclers usually bunk at the homes of the citizens, getting an insight into the customs of the people. The youth hostel Woirld is a world of its own, said Richard Schirrman. "There is a World of enmity, a world of enmity, a world of strife and politics, but within that world is a world of friendliness—the youth hostel world.” Test Your I. Q. j ■-11 a 1.
