most trouble you have with passengers
is with married couples that get on

Il got it figured out this way: Take
your average business man that goes
on one of these cruises. At home he
has his regular routine. He gets up
in the morning and he reads his pa
per at breakfast and rushes off to the
office and has his lunch downtown
and when he gets home to dinner he
is usually so tired out he don't want
to do nothing but sit around. or may
be he's got to stay downtown to a
conference or something.

We'll. ashore he don't see much OF
his wife and family, but get him out
here on one of these cruises and he
sees his wife "a hours a day every

Axton comes up here and asks me
what he can do about it. I told him
to keep out of her sight for a while
and come up here and play games

spend his Winters on farm he owns
near Milford, Del.
