When Europe opened up for post
war pleasure tourists, the observa-
ton was made that the air-minded
American was in a fortunate po-
sition. He could go right away.
Trans Atlantic plane space was i'm
nediately available, steamship &C
commodations were not. The pas
senger backlog on ocean liners was
so great that both diligence and
patience-in some cases up to three
months-were necessary to obtain
round-trip passage.
Planes actually did carry the first
bona fide tourists to postwar Europe.
But the easy situation did not last
long. Airlines found plenty Of
Americans more than willing to fly
abroad. Plane passage applications
flooded in and stretched into a
backlog Of their own.
Tourist travel to Europe has died
down to trickle now. 1t is peril
nent, however, to recall the con-
ciition in connection with sun-seek-
ing plans of winter vacationers.
Substitute Bermuda for Europe.
and virtually the, same situation
exists. Bermuda bound planes are
waiting. ships are loaded. How far
the parallel will be carried out can
not be foretold. But with the "holi-
day isles" off Americas shores. as
we'll as other popular winter resorts,
1t Is appropriate to repeat that
travel adage with the now-familiar
ring: Go before or after the peak
season: If not, make arrangements
well ahead.
Bermuda is far from filled right
now. Travel agencies, however, re-
port vacationers going there in
growing numbers. Looking ahead,
they see Bermuda crowded, perhaps
as early as late December. The
expectation prevails despite a siz-
able expansion in visitor accommo-
cations since last winter.
Ship accommodations to the isles
have not kept pace with those on
land. At present Bermuda is served
by few small boats. The Fort
Amherst and the Fort Townshend
each carrying about 100 passengers
and sailing from New York every Is
days, already are reported by local
travel agencies to be booked solidly
month or so In advance. The
popular Lady" cruise ships, Lady
Rodney and Lady Nelson OF Cana
dian National Steamships, sailing
from Boston and touching Bermuda
to and from the West Indies, are re-
ported booked full throughout the
winter season. Space is available "in

family savings. Sometime during
her stay in town she missed the
