Contrary to the popular impress

passports and have them vised by
European consulates in this country.
While the Raymond & Whitcomb CO.
relieve their cruise and tour mem

they cannot avoid the time factor
1t takes a certain number OF days to

there is still time. Hence, it is stated
as imperative that bookings for the
