Paving Project on

tourist associations in various
countries, American t-M'-ists can
make arrangements to spend a

visitors expressed one disap

USTS has been working with
civic and other interested
groups throughout t h e United
States, and more than 20 com
munities already have set up
"open house" programs.
Among them are Kalamazoo,
Mich.. Hollywood, Fla., Phila
delphia. Washington, Detroit
and Chicago.
I nuusewives in Miami oeacn
opened their homes to more
than 600 foreigners who visited
; Florida early in 1963. They cn
j joyed it so much that they now

manent basis.
Logan Program
Then there was a group of
French visitors who expected to
spend a one-day stopover in Lo
gan, Utah, resting. But the peo
ple of Logan arranged a com
plete program for them, includ
ing visits to local homes. The
French travelers later said the
Logan stop-over was the high
light of their tour.
"The overseas visitors want not
only to see our sights but also
how we live," said Gilmore,
i "And, he wants to get to know
us. By establishing programs to
! invite overseas visitors to a
I home for a cup of coffee, com-
i munities are fulfilling the de
sires of visitors and helping him
get a true picture of the Amer
ican way of life."
I The "open house" programs
here and abroad are simliar.
The service is free. It costs the
guest nothing (unless he wants
to bring a small gift.) And the
host neither receives nor ex
pects compensation.
The American tourist simply
files his request to meet a lo
cal family with the tourist or
travel office on arrival in cities
where such programs are set
up. Among them are Copenha-1
gen, Amsterdam, Zurich as well
as other cities in those coun
tries and elsewhere.
The "Meet the Danes" pro
gram probably was the first
such service. It was started in
1 1945 by the Danish Allied Com-
mittee for American and Brit-!
I ish servicemen who flocked to
l Denmark on leaves after the!
war.

Diamond Lake recreation area
has been receiving increasingly
heavy usage. Between 1956 and

creased from 30.000 to 97,000.
In 1962 the usage dropped to

estimated that usage will reach
