War Years CHANGED
This Farnily's Life
Prize Contribution
By Betty Peorson, Il.
Madison School

Madison School
This is a story of my life since
December 7, 1941. :.
On that date, my father told us
about Pearl Harbor and his inten-
ton of joining the service. I was
only 8 then, and did not realize the
tragedy Of war, but thought 1t was
all very romantic.
Then, as grew up and my father
went overseas, I realized how this
was affecting my mother and the
whole world. Neither was getting
gray and run down with the respon-
sibility of three children, one
younger than I and one older. The
world also was getting run down
with all its children and worries.
MY father was overseas for two
years. When he finally came home,
my mother was happier than she
had been for months. Life became
different, little by little.
Now, at last, my father has
brought us to Washington, and life
has changed again. We have
changed, too, and grown much old
er, my brother from 4 to 8, my sis
ter from II to IS, and I from to
IL. In many families. life has be-
gun again and different members
of the family have to get acquainted
all over again, even though some
families kept on living the same.

Europe has laid the ground
1Dork to receive American tour
lists in fairly large numbers in

end. Some countries are prdc-
tically ready for the infur noD

pared when sufficient ships are
reconDerted for transatlantic

just extra mouths to feed.
Large agencies such as the Ameri-
can Express Co. and Thomas Cook
are making long-range, grand tour
plans on an if-and-when basis.
Air travel, they predict, will make
Pacific vacations possible for many
tourists who before the war did
not have sufficient time to make
the long voyage by ship. Future
cost of such air travel Is still specu-
lative. The current one-way plane
ticket to the Orient is approximate
ly 5000.
Pan American Always made a
recent survey of its Far East route
and found little hope for booming
its business in the next year. Over
night accommodations in the island
stopping points are primitive, and
scarcity of materials will block any
chances in the immediate future.

airline now doing major business

The Matson Navigation Co., which

into the air field by applying for
nonscheduled flights to the ports
of call on its shipping lanes.

to relieve much OF the shipping

apiece, the liners Lurline, Mariposa

The American President Line,
which operates the principal pas
senger service to the Far East, is
now turning the President Polk
and President Monroe back to

The President Cleveland will be

The Hawaiian Islands already

If you are dreaming of a Pacific
cruise or a pleasure trip to the Far
East in 1947. you'd better look else
where for your travel. Even the
most optimistic travel agency won't
promise to get you past Hawaii un-
til at least 1948
Political upheavals, civil wars and
economic fluctuation throughout the
Far East, plus war devastation in
many Oriental cities and the occu-
patton of Japan and Korea, COM
bine to paint a big question mark
over the future of Pacific travel.
If you ask the steamship COM
panies or airlines for passage, they'll
tell you to leave your name and
perhaps we can" get a berth before
the end of the year-if the State
Department will give you creden-
tials. -t-s
Right now, the State Department
isn't issuing passports to any one ex-
cept on business, and there has been
no official guess as to when the lid
will be lifted.
War hangovers in the Far East
are giving transportation companies
a major headache.
Money values rise and fall so rap
idly that investment is strictly a
gamble.
The steamship and airlines al
ready have a heavy backlog of ap-
proved businessmen, mis-
sionaries, repatriates. The tourist
applicants, who increase in number
each day, already would fill several
large ships.
Lack of shipping is in itself a
major bar to Pacific travel. But the
principal problem keeping the State
Departments lid shut tight is food
and housing in the Orient Practi-
cally every area is taxed to maintain
