Three Lowell Girls Take Bicycle Tour In New England Linda Townsend. daughter of Mr. j and Mrs. Ralph Townsend. and Judi and Sharon Ellis, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ellis, have been spending a most enjoyable hostel trip in New England this summer under the American Youth Hostels, Inc. program. Linda left on July 6 and Judi and Sharon on July 13 for a month's bicycle tour through Massachusetts and Ver- mont, and although the girls went at a different time, they boih had the same itinerary. Each group included about six girls and 1 leader; they assembled at the Springfield Youth Hostel to begin the excursion. Their first stop was at Sunderland, where they climbed Sugarloaf Mountain and part of Mt. Toby, then after a two- day visit in Brattleboro. Vermont, they returned to an AYH hostel in Northfield. Mass. The girls say that this is the first special youth hostel built in the United States, I. e. one that was not previously a bam or home as many of them ate. It has a huge recreation nxmi and an outdoor fireplace where they joined hostelers from all over the country. All during their trip, they were close to the ocean and when they were io Ipswich, they stayed over- night in a light keeper's house, an enjoyed the company of some Swiss tourists. From Harvard, a short side trip was made to historic Concord: they saw a statue of the Minute Men. the homes of the poet. Emerson, and Louisa May Alcott, and also Walden Pond, the subject of many of Henry David Thoreau's writings. A ferry provided transportation to NantuCket, a small island in the Atlantic, where the girst say, most- ly bicycles and not many autos are used because of the many tour- ists. The group and their leader ate most of their meals out, over an open fire and in fireplaces at the hostels. However, they saved some money and when they reached Boston, they ate at Durgan Park, a famous restaurant there. Fine weather was reported throughout the entire month except for a few days; even then they pedaled through the rain wearing huge ponchos to keep partially dry. Everytime there was a chance, they headed for the ocean and went swimming; this was done in the afternoon because it was us- ally too hot to bicycle. Other activities Linda and the Ellis' liked were folk dancing and some plays in a summer theatre: Linda saw "Witnnce Fnr lhf» Pruiio. cution" and Sharon Md Judi saw "Tender Trap". Linda also heard the Glenn Miller orchestra. Thirty miles a day was the aver- age distance on their bikes, and this was the main type of transpor- tation; trains were used for very long distances. At the end of their ioumev. Linda went down to New York City to stay with friends, and Judi and Sharon were met in Swansea hy their parents. All agreed it was a thrilling experience and they got a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment out of hosteling. not to mention all the knowiedee thev received from meeting people and doing new things.

Three Lowell Girls Take Bicycle Tour In New England

Linda Townsend. daughter of Mr. j and Mrs. Ralph Townsend. and Judi and Sharon Ellis, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ellis, have been spending a most enjoyable hostel trip in New England this summer under the American Youth Hostels, Inc. program. Linda left on July 6 and Judi and Sharon on July 13 for a month's bicycle tour through Massachusetts and Ver-mont, and although the girls went at a different t ime, they boih had the same itinerary.

Each group included about six girls and 1 leader; they assembled at the Springfield Youth Hostel to begin the excursion. Their first stop was at Sunderland, where they climbed Sugarloaf Mountain and part of Mt. Toby, then af ter a two-day visit in Brattleboro. Vermont, they returned to an AYH hostel in Northfield. Mass. The girls say that this is the first special youth hostel built in the United States, I. e. one that was not previously a b a m or home as many of them ate. It has a huge recreation nxmi and an outdoor fireplace where they joined hostelers from all over the country.

All during their trip, they were close to the ocean and when they were io Ipswich, they stayed over-night in a light keeper 's house, an enjoyed the company of some Swiss tourists. F rom Harvard, a short side trip was made to historic Concord: they saw a statue of the Minute Men. the homes of the poet. Emerson, and Louisa May Alcott, and also Walden Pond, the subject of many of Henry David Thoreau's writings.

A ferry provided transportation to NantuCket, a small island in the Atlantic, where the girst say, most-ly bicycles and not many autos a re used because of the many tour-ists. •

The group and their leader ate most of their meals out, over an open fire and in fireplaces at the hostels. However, they saved some money and when t h e y reached Boston, they ate at Durgan Park, a famous restaurant there.

F i n e weather was reported throughout the entire month except for a few days; even then they pedaled through the rain wearing huge ponchos to keep partially dry. Everyt ime there was a chance, they headed for the ocean and went swimming; this was done in the afternoon because it was us-ally too hot to bicycle.

Other activities Linda and the Ellis' liked were folk dancing and some plays in a summer theatre: Linda saw "Witnnce Fnr lhf» Pruiio. cution" and Sharon M d Judi saw "Tender Trap" . Linda also heard

the Glenn Miller orchestra . Thirty miles a day was the aver-

age distance on their bikes, and this was the main type of transpor-tation; trains were used for very long distances.

At t h e end of their ioumev. Linda went down to New York City to stay with friends, and Judi and Sharon were met in Swansea hy their parents. All agreed it was a thrilling experience and they got a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment out of hosteling. not to mention all the knowiedee thev received from meeting people and doing new things.

MACKINAW ISLAND, ADA WAS THERE!

It seems that if one were to be up north near Traverse City or MacWnaw Island, one would almost feel that Ada had been transplant-ed up there. So many of our citi-zens have visited, or are visiting up there. The latest citizens to go north were the Henry Reimersmas and children, Tom and Linda.

They all enjoyed the trip over oft the ferry. By the way. who en-joyed the "Buggy Ride" around the Island the most; Mom, Pop or Tom and Linda? Did you get ix chance to drive the horses, Tom ?

The trip over to the Mackinaw Island bridge was also a high point of their trip, Mr. Reimersma states that there are 250 homes on the Island Did you know that deer and

prielors of the Village Store an-nounced that they closed their (store, Wednesday, Aug. 21, to make preparation for moving to their new building which is locat-ed on Ada drive. Be sure and watch for the grand opening!
