Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 10, 1963, Winnipeg, Manitoba R 46 Winnipeg free press saturday August 10, 1963 when Lii Rome As nordic tourists do Rome special the guardian several roman newspapers turning away from the plenitude of political scandals have been conducting a Campaign against what they consider to be the scandalous behaviour of foreign tourists who descend on Rome dressing and behaving As if they were among the press refers to these tourists As being nordic in since an Anglo Saxon nation has a great craving for criticism which is sharpened when abroad both British and americans As sume that the press is talking about their own countrymen. Once they said that foreigners came to Italy for sea Sun spa Ghetti and St. Peter s. Today All that is changed. Today the Mil Lions seem to have Only one de sire to take a the conservative ii Tempo writes with Liberal exaggeration. Barefooted to illustrate its Point it prints a photograph of two very attractively dressed american girls walking Down via Del Corso barefooted. The streets Are wet from a recent Shower and the girls Are indulging in something they do i Europe Only in the films. Ii Tempo is right when it says that they would not do it on fifth Avenue. Blame it on the wine at lunch and the fact that the Holiday spirit sometimes is difficult to turn off and on As one moves from Capri to Rome. Almost every second Day other roman papers print pictures of other nordic Type women usually not so Young or attractive who really Are taking a Footpath in one of Rome s Many monumental fountains. Several of the fountains have such Low basins that they seem to have been designed centuries ago for horses cattle and tired tourists. But the authorities Tell us that they Are Mere ornaments and have no practical purpose. Bathe in Fountain the Trevi Fountain is the term Inal Point for All those million of nordic types who come t Rome for foot bathing. Last wee 40 people mostly were carried off by foreigners the polic for having breached the decorum of the Fountain. For years now three uniform policemen have been assigned t the Fountain with Only two apparent tasks to keep the Loca children from fishing out the coins the tourists have tossed into the Fountain and to keep the tourists from tossing themselves in the Fountain. The legend is that a visit can assure his return to rom if he throws a Coin into the Trev Waters. Most tourists would prob ably return to Rome sooner i they did t throw their Money away. Back roads bring real North Wales by Adrienne Cohen London special the guardian Flat feet and natural indolence Are poor equipment for a Holiday in North Wales at least in the Mountain areas that plunge through the heart of Merion eth spread out from the Centre of Caernarvonshire spill Over into Denbighshire and Are the chief glory of this vastly underrated coun try. But a Well shod car with powerful brakes is no Bod substitute and minor roads Lead to nameless Hillside settlements suspended above magnificent valleys that sweep on and upwards to yet another Mountain Range or suddenly flatter out to form the coastline.

Con fused by the title some of the tourists even insisted on throw ing in three coins. The local boys were delighted with this sudden multiplication of their Revenue. The nearby Money Exchange office where the children would take their foreign coins the next Day found that then business also boomed. Then the head of municipal greed Rose from the water. In a 1958 court Case the City Fath ers were told that they wanted to hear All coins which find then Way into All fountains in Rome become City property. Not for children a few weeks after this decision a 17-year-old boy one Franco Rossini was arrested by the police while dipping into the water for coins. He was charged with conduct offensive to the dignity of the and the coins were pried from his wet fist. At this time of the year the City can count on about to a week from the Trevi when it is drained and cleaned on tuesdays. It is big business now not fit for children. The urge for foot bathing which comes Over Many people when they reach the Trevi foun Tain is the authorities recognize but the first step toward that Inal total plunge. To some people Here the scene in Fellini s la Dolce Vita when Antia Ekberg went for a Midnight swim in the Trevi caused almost irreparable damage to Rome s sacred Char naturally some romans do not agree with them but the fad s that the Cinema has certified one legend the Coin trick Anc created another the indulgent nordic water and the old Trevi will never be the same.

Vienna can be enjoyed if stereotype forgotten by Frederick Schb Vienna special owns Vienna has Long had a romantic attraction for travel lers and tourists. Songs Al Lude to Austria s capital As Vienna City of my whether the dreams come True depends As much on the expectations of the visitor As on the amenities of the City. Austria has now superseded Italy and Switzerland in the number of foreigners nights a phrase which has in itself a romantic sound and is now second to France As the most popu Lar tourist country in Europe. Austrian tourist officials Point out that this is not quite As Good As it sounds. Foreign visitors May spend More nights in Austria but they leave much less Money Here per head than in neighbor ing Switzerland. To be a relatively inexpensive country is a mixed Blessing. Furthermore the austrian tourist Industry is undoubtedly lopsided. The great major Ity visitors consists of West germans who Cross the Frontier for weekends and live frugally. In Vienna How Ever most foreign visitors come from Western Europe Britain the United states and other overseas countries. Rin Strasse All visitors want to see the Rin Strasse with its splendid buildings and the Imperial summer Palace of Schoen Brunn. They like to gaze Down on the old Imperial capital from the Kahlenberg and other Hills of the Vienna Woods. Disappointments begin with the Danube. It in t so. Much that thex Danube which the tourists see from the Hills is not Blue but Grey. The trouble is that it does not really flow through the City but Only skirts it at its most unfashionable end. This is due to anti flood measures at the turn of the Century. Johann Strauss did not foresee this development. However the authorities have made sure that Vienna will again be situated on the Danube As from next sum Mer. In Honor of the inter National horticultural exhibition next year a recreation and amusement Park is being built on the Danube s Banks. It should transform this rather Bleak Region and enable the River once More to play a worthy part in the life of Vienna. Many visitors also com Plain sadly that Vienna so Little resembles the films made about it the viennese do not sing in the streets. There Are no concert cafes with dark haired musicians playing the violin. The Coffee houses where the viennese leisurely read their news papers do not seem an Ade quate substitute. Avo Waltzes most of Vienna s night life is actually surprisingly Dull. At the dance Halls to Waltz is danced. The night clubs Are of the routine International Type. In general Vienna is Early to bed and Early to in this it is i com plete contrast to Munich where people like to get up late and to stay up late. The important exception and Balm to the hearts of visitors to Vienna is the heu a heu Rigen is a wine Garden in the suburbs or on the slopes of the Vienna Woods where the owner of the Vineyard is allowed to sell his own wine and announce it by hanging out a Green Here on summer evenings people sit in the open and enjoy the new wine which is insidiously stronger than it eating and listening to Light music. The atmosphere is relaxed and Friendly. Visitors also sometimes feel disappointed because they do not meet members of the old aristocracy. One reason is that retired aristocrats often cannot afford to go out much interest is still Strong in the history of the Habsburg. Dynasty and particularly in the tragedy of mayerling the Castle in the Vienna Woods where Crown Prince Rudolf shot countess Marie Vetsera and then committed suicide. Few conducted Tours actually visit mayerling As the Cut Throat Price Competition be tween american tourists bureaus cuts out All unnecessary expenses. Primitive those who do get to Mayer Ling often find uie place disappointingly primitive but they like the surroundings. Marie Vetsera s forgotten nearby at Heilig engr eur but few tourists Dis cover it. The attitude of visitors is determined by the fact that Austria usually comes about the Middle of a european this time the travel lers have been either to Paris or to Rome and Are tired of museums and cathedrals. In consequence the famous Art gallery at the Kunst historic Ches museum is hot As crowded As it might be. Tourism in the soviet Union is Young and full of surprises not All of them pleasant. Primi Tive plumbing is usually encountered. The first class tourist pays a Day for a guide a car for three hours meals and a room with Bath in a hotel such As the hotel Tashkent seen irom across the Square in the capital of Uzbekistan a Central asian province of the . What most travellers like is to sit around watching people pass by and listening to music. The Vienna opera is closed during july and August when the fashionable cultural life has moved to the festivals of Salzburg arid Bre Genz. But there Are still performances of classical oper Ettas in the surroundings of Vienna notably at Baden and at Korbisch on the Banks of Lake Neu Siedel. There one can even Combine an open air performance of Lehar s Gypsy Baron with the thrill of a trip to the Borders of the Iron curtain. Conditioned the attitude of visitors also depends on where they have last been. Americans in particular Are Strong on Hygiene and sometimes complain that viennese hotels and restau rants Are not clean but if they do not complain be cause Vienna is cleaner than Paris although Paris is More Beautiful. Another reason Why americans coming from Paris usually adore Vienna is be cause the waiters and the people in the streets actually Welcome them. The viennese rather like foreigners that is part of the secret of. Their Charm. But the most grateful visit ors of All Are russians poles and hungarians who now come to Austria on conducted Tours in increasing numbers. They seem to enjoy every second of their visit. They have carefully prepared themselves and Are Well versed in every historical de Tail. They never talk politics and they never complain.
