Ann Laughlin of the
Montreal bureau of The
Canadian Press has com-
pleted a two-week tour of
flve European countries to
report first-hand on what

“young “Canadians hitch-

hiking through Europe this
summer faced, In this story

. she tells of a growing

problem — youths tinding

themselves stranded after a

Bummer of fun.

AMSTERDAM (CP) —
“Passport, plane ticket and.
these beads—that’s really all
I've got going for me,” said 19-
year-old TVOM Morton of
Vancouver,

After three months hitch-hik-
ing through Europe on a
meagre $250, he was stringing
and selling necklaces on the

. Street to survive the two weeks

until his charter flight returns
to Canada.

He.is one of many.

Yourig travellers now are
converging on the ‘major
European jumping-off points,
.many without money to wait out

_ fixed departure dates, some

without the means to get home
at all,
“A lot of young people have

- been gambling this summer,”

said a spokesmen for KLM
Royal Dutch Airlines.

He said a “good proportion”
of return tickets reported lost
were more likely sold to fi-

. hance travel on the Continent,

Farewell to the candy bar

Finance Minister Benson's
airy assurance that
everything is lovely in the
Canadian economic garden
won't cheer Canadian children
faced with the disappearance
of the 10-cent candy bar, Or
Canada's housewives who
learned this week that the cost
of living has risen another full
point.

The kids, in fact, are about
to fall victim to the revolution
of falling expectations. They
know that there has been a
certain amount of deception in
the dime candy bar wrapper
which, for a long while has
promised more than it has
delivered.

But they will be sad, just as
the candy makers say. they
are, at the prospect that it will
soon join the great auk and the
mastodon.

The candy bar men,
shouting slogans such as “the
10-cent bar is good PR” are
obviously about to scrap it,
just the same.

Like the rest of. us they
would like to find someone to
blame and their choice is
Consumer Affairs Minister
Ron Basford.

His new .regulations, they
charge, require so much
detailed description of con-
tents — one ‘ingredient
“shortening" requires 22
words in the new rules — they

can’t get it all on the wrapper -

in readable type.
Perhaps Mr. Benson has an
answer to this problem.

"—The Vancouver Province

“They come back to Amster-
dam and other cities with no
ticket and no money and they're
stuck,” he said.

The most the airlines can do is
reimburse the traveller if no
one else uses the ticket—but
only after three months.

BIG HEADACHE

A lost charter ticket is an
even bigger headache as most
charter organizations originat-
ing flights from North America
have no agent for travellers to
contact in Europe.

Young people handing out.
cards offering cheap one-way
charter flights back to Canada
and the United States abound,
but so do the warnings.

“Young people desperate to
get home give their last cent to
what often turns out to be a fly-
by-night operation,” said an
agent at American Express in
Amsterdam.

Canadian embassies and con-

‘shlates~ limit financial “assist:
"vanee, except in emergencies

such as illness, to collect cables
to relatives or friends of young
people who post vigils outside
American Express offices
awaiting funds.

People come in here almost
expecting we're the Bank of
Canada,” said Jean Badley, in

HELPS FINANCIALLY

Since the beginning of August,
Miss Radley has assisted 30
people financially, Almost as
many requests daily are ex-
pected as the summer draws to
a close,

‘ “But if they don’t give us a
name tocentact, there's nothing
we can do,” she said.

That leaves many to their own
devices,

Some try begging, street-
singing or drug dealing—ail
highrisk occupations in Am-
charge ot the service for dis-
tressed Canadians at Canada
House in London. . ;

“If they haven’t received
their income tax relurn they
think they can get a loan on
money they say the government
owes them," she said,
sterdam since a recent police
crackdown,

Others, like Tom Morton,
haunt the weekly flea markets
and park pathways on Sundays
with wares ranging from cam-
eras, film, jewelry and the last
packets of American cigarettes
bought by the carton at dutyfree
shops in more affluent times.

Tom specializes in goulmine
beads, once.used as currency in
the African slave trade, now
twisted into leather-thong neck-

laces and bracelets that he sells

for aboul $1.56.
"I make a few dollars a day,
enough to buy bread, milk and

fruit,” he said,

.He sleeps in Vondelpark,
_ burned over to young travellers

this summer by the cily of Am-

sterdam. Volunteer organiza-.

tions often supply free soup and
coffee to the. park’s current
1,300 residents.

“Tl get by,” he said.

Rumors persist that at least
some Canadian travellers get
by through selling their
Canadian passports for fees
said to reach $700 on the black
market,

‘These rumors make the
rounds," said Miss Badley, “but
how much truth is involved is
another matter,”

A new passport is issued
within three weeks, or sooner in
urgent situations, if the person
reporting the loss can produce a
birth certificate or Canadian
cilizenship papers, —

No Canadian. officials ap-
proached on the subject at-
tached much credibility to sto-
ties of passport sales.

Passport offices, however,
are besieged daily.

“Many young people seem
particularly careless with pass-
ports,” said Miss Badley,

“Some leave them in their

packsacks in the hostels or pirls
forget their purses in cars when
hitch hiking, oe

“They don’t seem ta realize
just how important a passport

Is.
