We have done our share of reading all this literature that came into our hands, and have been inspired to do a bit of wishful thinking. In the Sunday magazine section, Amy Vanderbilt, not- ed etiquette authority, told, of a trip to Ireland with her husband and three teen-age stepchildren. They ate in lit- tl> cottages, slept in big old castles, hiked along the Cliffs of Mohler, shopped in Dub- lin, and (what was extreme- ly interesting to us), “‘consid- ered buying an old Georgian house on Mount Joy square, whosi> rehabilitation has the blessing of the Irish Georgian Society.” Mrs. Vanderbilt said they went to Ireland because they had early roots there and it was “related to the family bloodlines.” They had a wonderful time! We're part Irish, too— and besides, the editor has a “pen pal” in the Postmaster THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 24 PAGES by the editor's wife of Omagh, Ireland, near an area called Mount Joy, whom we would enjoy meeting! So we mentally took a trip to Ireland! * ¥ * In “Woman’s Day” this month we were fascinated by an article on ‘Mini-Vacations’ which described in consider- able detail interesting little trips which one could take over a week end. We were amazed at how many of thiem were acces- sible from Mount Joy! Mentioned was a theater week end in New York City, a trip to Chicago, a week end in Annapolis, a hiking tour of a section of the Appalach- ian Trail, a Golfing Holiday at Herskicy Hotel or Fred Waring’s Shawnee Inn at Shawnee-on-Delaware, Pa. or a cruise aboard the Delta Queen, a paddle wheel steam- boat based in’ Cincinnat! Of all these, only Chicago and Cincinnati would neces- sitate much traveling from Mount Joy. Thos that appealed must most to us were things we had never done, hiked the Appalachian Trail, or toured historic Annapolis. So off we went — on anoth- er “armchair” trip! (But we DID wdite for literature which we will file away for future referance! * * we - There are some lucky people who not only dream of going places—they actual- ly get it done!

AN EDITORIAL A Wind-Swept View On a sombre Saturday morning not many weeks ago we stood on the sweeping concrete plaza of the Valley Forge Turnpike service area, looking northward. There on the rolling meadowland, even though the wind had a strong nip, groups of peo- vle were strolling over the fields. Others walked along the top of a hill, gray sky Automobiles dotted silhouetted against the the driveways which wind through the spreading terrain. We hunched our shoulders, squinted against the wind and turned a coat collar tighter against the weather and wondered. What are those people REALLY doing over there? PSR ETA 00 . (Turn. tu page 4)
