The Travellers Notebook

The coming year holds prom
Use of offering a bonus of long
week ends on six of the seven
holidays recognized by the Fed
eral and District governments
That's something that hasn't
happened in years.
There is one undetermined
factor, however. This involves
the administration taking a lib
eral attitude toward switching
the days on which holidays are
observed and granting as un-
counted leave the day before
Christmas, 1854, and the day be-
fore January /, 1855, If that
comes about, the calendar can be
considered ideal by those who
like to have their holidays fall on
a day that ties in with a Sat-
urday-Sunday combination.
A check of 1954's calendar
shows the holidays stack up this
way:
Washington's Birthday. Feb
ruary %, falls on a Monday.
Both Memorial Day and July 4
occur on a Sunday, and it is
the usual practice to observe
the holiday on the day after.
Labor Day, always on Monday,
falls on September 6. Thanks
giving, tied to Thursday, will
come November 25, with a long
week end possible only by taking
leave the next day.
The administration probably
has no idea yet as to what it's
policy will be for Christmas and
New Years Day, 1855. Both of
these holidays will fall on Satur-
days. There is a chance the day
before each will be declared a
working day, allowing de-
partures late Thursday, Decem-
ber %, and Thursday. Deem
ber 30.
This outline of the calendar
for 1854 will serve in two ways.
Not only will it call attention to
the possibility of holiday trips.
but it will caution travellers to
make early reservations on trains
and planes. Especially on air.
lines. seat reservations on the
most convenient flights have a
way of being snapped up weeks
and even months in advance.

Millions See

Pioneer Past
DEARBORN.


In early December, Is years
ago. Henry Ford, the last of the
country's biilionaires and a
prodigious collector of early
Americana, set up a pocket-sized
America on 200 acres near here.
Here is preserved three CEN
turies of the American past from
the time of the Pilgrims. Nearly
a million visitors a year pass
through the Henry Ford Museum
and Greenfield Village by foot,
horse-drawn carriage or sleigh to
get an insight into the pioneer
life which they portray.
Greenfield is like no other viii
lage. It is sanctuary for hun
dreds of nostalgia American
landmarks, salvaged from decay
at their original sites and re-
moved stick and stone to Dear
born. A sternwheel river-boat, a
town hall from New England, a
country store with merchandise
OF the Gold Rush era are out
standing exhibits.
Typical of the relics Of early
America is the 80-foot pic
tureSque-covered bridge over
which William Holmes McGuffey
early shaper of American educa-
ton and editor of the famous
McGuffey Readers used to walk.
When this vanishing fragment
of the national scene was to be
torn down and replaced with a
modern steel structure, Mr.. Ford
had the old timbers carefully
dismantled, slowed aboard a
truck and reconstructed at Dear
born, almost 500 miles away.

New Trend in TruveI

One of the newest trends in
travel to Europe is built around
bringing American tourists into
contact with those in the Old
World who have similar inter-
e'&s. A tour of an American doc
tor. for instance, can be chan
neled so that he can easily meet
members of his profession
abroad, and the lawyer meets his
counterparts in France, Ireland,
Italy and Sweden.
The service has been perfected
to the point that the PennSyl-
vania coal miner can see the
British pits in operation, the
corner grocery owner can be-
come acquainted with business
customs of his opposite number
on the other side and the Cadil-
lac salesman can swap tales of
performance and trade-ins with
the sBriton or the German who
talks so enthusiastically of the
Jaguar and the Porsche.
In South America, Too
A similar trend is developing
down South America way. 1t
wasn't so long ago that Louis

Americans interested in cattle
raising and agricultural methods
