Skiing Grows
In Popularity

Skiing has become the fast
est growing sport among Amer
leans.
This winter, according to an
American Express survey, about
4 million United States en-
thusiaStS will take to the ski
slopes in the snowbelt and
Canada. Another 10000 will
head for the Alps.
The survey predicts another
boost for the ski industry next
year-the Winter Olympics at
Squaw Valley, Calf, February
18 to %. For the first time
the exhibitions will be telecast.
Other stimulants are the pre-
Olympic trials at Aspen and
Steamboat Springs, Colo, this
month and the Hartman Cup
races at Sun Valley in March.
The event that first sparked
widespread American interest
IN skiing was the Winter Olym-
pics at Lake Placid in 1882,
Americans now spend more
than $50 million a year on
stretch pants, parkas and other
equipment. The average skier
spends about S425 to $3.50 for
travel, accommodations, lifts
snd instruction annually.
This year the snow States
poured $25 million into expand
ing ski areas, building new
lodges and other facilities.

Program Set

The traditional friendliness
Of the Irish is going to be put
to use in a new hospitality pro-
gram for tourists.
Called "Meet the Irish" the
new plan will permit visitors
bound for Ireland to arrange in
advance for personal introduc-
tions to Irish people of similar
ages, hobbies and professions.
The program is voluntary,
and there is no charge.
In Cork "City, the Irish
Tourist Office says, more than
100 local architects, engineers,
doctors, students, businessmen
and others already have reg
istered for the program. Similar
groups are being organized in
other cities.

Under the Romans, the sports
deteriorated from displays of
religious faith and physical ex-
cellence to bloody gladiatorial
combat and mass carnivals. The
Emperor Nero delighted in
making the shows as sadist-
ically cruel as possible and rode
in some of the chariot races
himself.
The brutal spectacles were
finally abolished in AID. 394,
by edict of TheodoSius l.
In modern form, the Olym-
pic Games were revived in
Athens in 1896, with the hope
that honest competition in
physical culture would lead to
greater understanding and good

ROME GAMES
BIG PROBLEM
IS HOUSING

Italy's Minister Of Tour
ism Tupini recently told
the Italian Senate that the
most serious problem in
connection with the Olym-
pic Games in Rome next
year is housing.
Participants in the
Olympic Games and a press
corps of 1900 already have
been allotted housing, he
said. Rome and its sur
rounding provinces have
3,430 beds available in
hotel rooms.
There are camping facil-
tiles for 10000, and a new
tourist village projected for
the Via Flaminia will add
several thousand more.
There also is under way a
program to register rooms
in private homes and make
them available to Olympics
visitors.
