THE Good that men do are oft
times inferred with their bones. Bill
''Bojangles" Robinson, rated the
worlds greatest tap dancer, died
last week. And the twisted tongues
are condemning him for being a
charity case when he was struck
with illness. They are also saying
unsavory things about his relation

his social and characteristic faults
how could they. overlook the good
things that gBoiangles have done?

est provocation. But the, ovation that
the state Of New York and his loyal
theatrical friends paid him at his
funeral offsets any harsh words
said by the few whose wonts are
to say the worst about anybody.

Old Sturbridge Village Opens
With Three More Buildings

STURBRIDGE, Mass, June ii.
Nestled in the low hills of Gen.
trail Massachusetts. and just of
the busy New York Boston high
way, lies an intriguing cultural
project-the Old Sturbridge VII
lage.
Located on U. 8. route 20, mid
way between Springfield and
Worcester. the village recently re-
opened for its fourth year.
A living museum, the village re-
creates a New England country
town as 1t might have appeared
in the early 1800s. On a 500-acre
tract Of meadow and woodland
are set some 80 buildings-houses,
barns. a general store. grist mill,
inn, schoolhouse and q church.
Some buildings are originals,
others are carefully reproduced
copies. They contain collections
Of furniture. glass. pewter. brass,
toys, household equipment-every-
thing that might be found In q

tional. The blacksmith hammers

during the off-seasons.
Low Class Space Full.
More evidence OF the demand by
middle-class groups for travel
facilities. which the airlines have
recognized by the IATA decision,
appears in figures showing per
centage Of vessel occupany by class
OF accommodations. In January,
1949. so per cent of f1rst-class
accommodations were occupied.
and 81 per cent in February. In
contrast, cabin and tourist class
space was SO per cent occupied in
January and 81 per cent occupied
in February. This indicates clearly
that there is a sizahle demand for
travel to Europe among persons
of the middle income group. These
are preliminary figures for just
two winter months. They may
not reflect exactly the situation
throughout the year. though the
statisticians say January and
February are a reasonable sample
In answering the question of the
location Of these travellers. the
survey has shown some expected
and some unexpected results. As
might be anticipated A per cent
Of all those who arrived in January
and February were residents of
New York State. It was more Of q
surprise to learn that California

This indicates that In addition to
hotel expenditures on this side and
purchases Of baggage and clothing,
there Is q sizable amount Of trans
portation purchased In the United
States by American travellers be-
fore and after they 60 abroad.

Products from the craft shops

Each year the village continues
to grow a little larger. This sea-
son three new buildings will be
ready for visitors. One is the
Village Meeting House. formerly
the historic Fiskdale Baptist
Church. 1t now stands at the
head Of the village green. A
dwelling. known as the Masha-
paug house. features a typical
room furnished in late 17th CEN
tury style. The third is the pot
terry shop.
The village will be open every
day throughout the summer
months. and an admission fee Is
charged to help defray operating
expenses The gates open at 10
am. Trained hostesSes are on
duty at all the principal exhibits.
Food and refreshments are avail
able in the village and there are
also extensive picnicking facilities.

1t has been well said that the
travel dollar spent abroad is an
earned dollar. 1t Is not a loaned
dollar or q granted dollar which
comes out Of the taxpayers
pocket. The traveller gets trans
port. food. accommodation, enter
tainment and service for his
travel dollar. AS added dividends
he sometimes gets new ideas, new
horizons. new understanding, and
therefore, enriches his investment
in living. And the travel dollar
comes flying home in new trade
and employment, as well as pro-
viding the funds for new travellers
to the United States when ex-
change conditions permit.
There is a new market for
international travel hitherto un-
touched. 1t requires the same
intensive application Of business
know-how and experience for de-
velopment as has expanded our
trade in goods. There are now
we'll over 100000 wage-earners
in this country enjoying vacations
with pay-many for the first time.
More than four-fifthS of all per-
sons employed in private industry
in this country and 81 per cent of
all Office workers are eligible for
paid vacations. Today well over
10000. 900, or over IS per cent of
all union workers. have paid vaca-
tions in their working agreements,
whereas, even as recently as 1910,
only Is per cent were so covered.
Large Travel Potential.
Those figures are but a part of
the indications of the new market.
According to the United States
Bureau of Census, in l947. Is, 5,000,-
900 families had taxable incomes
within the $4,000 to $4,000 per-
year bracket. These are the people
for the most part short on vaca-
ton time. This provides a tre-
mendous potential for travel.
Compare these figures with the
report Of only 100000 families
with taxable incomes over $4,000
for the year 1947.

| Perhaps one Of the most strik-
ing findings is that historically
from so to 20 per cent of al
Americans travelling to Europe
and the Mediterranean have been
either European born or of first
generation European extraction
From 1929 to 1887 an average OF
1856 900 European-born Ameri-
cans travelled to Europe-over halt
Of our European travellers. Never
theless, amazingly enough. these
travellers have represented in any
one year less than ! per cent OF
the total number of European
born Americans. The census re-
ports for 1910 show that there
were nearly 30,000,000 United
States citizens who were either
foreign born or whose parents
were foreign born. These people
have a natural interest in their
native lands or the lands of their
parents. But not many of them
have been in a position to satisfy
their desire to visit the countries
that have such a strong appeal to
them.
One Of the targets already
showing up is the problem of pro-
viding for travellers in the middle
income bracket. Apparently the
demand for less luxurious accom-
modations. provided at a price
within the reach of the potential
travellers, Is present. during the
off season. as well as the summer
season. Much space remains
vacant in the off-season in the
luxury-class accommodations. The
survey shows that during January
and February. 1949. 1880 United
States residents returned to the
port Of New York by steamship.
De luxe. or first-class. accommoda-
tions were occupied by 1890 per-
sons. A larger number, $500, re-
turned tourist or cabin class.
Those who did not pay for de luxe
accommodations. rs per cent Of
the total, can logically be assumed
to be in the lower or middle in
come group.

ropean economic recovery through
increased travel by Americans to
