Popular resorts in the Carib-

Normally operated only in sum-

this winter excursion novelty will
go into effect November /. Tick
cts will be good for 81 days. and
stopovers may be made at any

Three types of trips are being

Notes on Observation-Disclosures
experts are a bit chary of saying
how far the American dollar will
60 next year in countries that
have devalued their currencies
So don't set hopes too high for
cheap trips to Europe in 1850,
particularly in the peak season.
You can laugh off any assur-
ance today that travel next year
will be 80 per cent cheaper. That's
approximately the percentage
many currencies were devalued
And devaluation has given rise
to lot of loose talk about Europe
costing 80 per cent less.
Remember that steamship and
airline fares across the Atlantic
still are geared to the dollar
Devaluation did not cut these
rates. Unless all signs fail. they
will stay at the 1949 level. These
fares are a major part or at least
a sizable portion of the average
| expenditure for an Old Tour
pleasure tour. Even If a similar
sum-equal to the round-t trip fare
were spent within Europe at a
complete 80 per cent saving, the
overall saving would be srashed
| to Is per cent by the stabilized
trans Atlantic fares. And unless
the price line is held reasonably
well abroad. that Is per cent saw
| ing will be halved. 1t could even
disappear.
All this is by way Of keeping
! Washington travellers from FORM
ing exaggerated ideas about how
cheap a European trip will be, If
they start budgeting next years
trip abroad now. In other words,
it is risky to say, Now we can
afford Europe" Even the big
worldwide travel agencies don't
know yet what the price tags for
their conducted and all-expense
tours will be.
Travel agencies can't say Off
hand what a specific tour would
cost today. They can't just knock
off 80 per cent arbitrarily from
seasonal prices on the other side.
They must contact European
sources or at least New York
headquarters" for prices as they
exist at the moment.

guest house rates there because
they had already reduced tariff on
accommodations up to Is per cent
a few months ago.
The news release added:
"Sir Howard Trott, president of
the Bermuda Hotel and Guest
House Association, announced fol-
lowing a meeting of members
yesterday that the operators and
owners would for the present make
no further change in rates, which
are quoted in American dollars.
The one exception is that guests
remaining over 81 days will be
given a 10 per cent retroactive re-
duction.
1T was pointed out that most
Of the expenses and services of
hotels and guest houses in Ber-
muda are incurred in American
dollars, and that most of their
revenue Is derived from dollar
sources. AS a consequence the
devaluation Of the pound makes
little or no change either in op-
Grating expenses or revenue.
In addition to the above sav-
ings the tourist visiting Bermuda
is now able to buy British mer-
chandise at approximately third
less than he was prior to the
pound devaluation. Doeskins,
cashmere, leather goods and china
are among the popular items now
in good supply"
Nassau Prices-An effort to hold
the price line is reflected in
press release from the Nassau
Development Board, in the Ba-
hamas. representatives Of seven
hotels there met recently to dis
cuss devaluation of the pound.
The two tourist companies,
Nassau Tours and Playtours, it
was announced, have said they
will make no increases in price on
any of their sightseeing excursions,
despite devaluation of the British
pound.
Jamaica. in the British West
Indies, committed itself right
away. There may be some change
later, but this was given out by
the Jamica Tourist Trade De-
velopment Board, a department
of the Jamica Government:
American and Canadian tour
lists visiting Jamaica are informed
that hotels, restaurants, shops,
local transportation services and
others catering to visitors. have
reduced their rates and prices as
the result Of the recent devalu-
alton of the British and Jamaican
pounds sterling.
Hotel rates, which are COM
puted on the American plan, are
reduced to effect substantial saw
ings on rooms, meals and all rec
reational and entertainment fea-
lures.
Golf and tennis fees, beach
club privileges, night club charges,
movie and theater admissions,
race track and polo admissions,
and the fees for riding, motor
hire, bicycle hire, deep-sea fishing
and sail boats, and fares on the
railway and other transportation
lines are all lowered in line with
the devaluation of sterling to a
new dollar exchange rate"

Notebook
By Jacques FutreIIe, jr.

The Siar's Travel Editor
Now that Cunard White Star
has announced sailing dates
through November, 1850, travellers
planning to go to Europe next year
can begin to settle their own de-
parture dates. AS the major
North Atlantic passenger ship
line and operators of the great
"Queens"-the Elizabeth and Mary
-C-WS seems destined to full
fill its usual role by carrying the
greatest number of Americans to
the Old World.
The line announced last week
that the summer schedule will
provide weekly express service be-
tween New York, Cherbourg and
Southampton by the two Queens,
regular Sailings to Liverpool by
the Britannia, Media and Parthia:
service to Cobb, Havre and
Southampton by the Mauretania
and to Havre and Southampton
by the Caronia.
It has previously been noted in
The Notebook that early 1949 re-
quests for reservations in the low
est-priced accommodations on
Cunard White Star ships next
summer would fill almost twice
the number of berths available in
this single passenger fleet Higher
priced accommodations also were
going fast, even then. But now,
with dates announced. come the
showdown and the scramble for
space.
Every passenger line goes
through the same crush period.
Thousands of names will be
dropped long before the ships
shove off. This will be due to
prospective passengers withdraw
ing duplicate reservations or
changing plans. Many who pre-
fer ships will make the compro-
mise of flying. That final deci-
sion cannot be delayed too long,
however, for transatlantic air
lines also have begun to feel the
heavy demand for peak-season
seats.
1t is safe to predict that some
tourists, unable to get the dates
or ships they want. will defer their
European trip until 1851, or will
head for other pleasant but less
crowded vacationlands.
Specific Dates-If they pursue
their desire to travel Cunard
White Star. here are the sailing
dates for which they can request
confirmation of reservations:
The Queen Elizabeth, worlds
largest liner, will sail from New
York on April 20, May II, June
l and 16, July l and %, August

Fort BeIvoir Soldier
Clears Last Hurdle,
Meets Fiancee in j. )

The long obstacle course that has
blocked Fort Belvoir soldiers re-
union with his pretty 19-year- odd
war flancee reached a happy end
ing today in New York
There, on a ferry landing, T/Sergt.
Robert E. Reynolds embraced Miss
Gioia Culley and prepared, at long
last, to lead her to the altar
The reunion came after the final
barrier to Miss Culleys admission to
this country was removed at Ellis Is
land. The couple was believed to be
coming to Washington for the nup-
tialS.
The meeting underscored long
months the couple was harassed
on every side in their plans to be
marrieh. First, it was missing
birth certificate which prevented
her from leaving Italy, then sick
ness in Sergt. Reynolds family,
and finally, race against the De-
cember 81 deadline for admission
of prospective war brides to this
country.
The final stumbling block came
yesterday when Miss Culley arrived
at La Guardia Field by Trans World
Airline. Her visa had expired, so it
was necessary for her to go to Ellis
Island until a waiver could be
arranged.
Meanwhile, Sergt. Reynolds, who
had watched her every move by
remote control, had driven to New
York yesterday in borrowed car,
carrying a three-day pass and high
hopes Of reaching the altar before it
expired.
Their story of how rough the
course of true love can run had its
beginning three years ago in Rome,
where they met at a dance. Love
bloomed and with it plans for her
to join him in the United States.
That was the first trouble. Miss
Culley is daughter of an American
father and Russian mother, mar
ried in the United States, but there
was no record of a birth certificate.
Returning to the United States
last spring, Sergt. Reynolds beset the
Army and State Department for
special dispensation for her passage,
eventually obtaining it.
Then there was the matter of the
$500 bond to be posted for her ad-
mission. When his mother in Ohio
needed an operation, Sergt Reynolds
was forced to retrieve the money
he had put up and sent it to her.
BY then the allotted time for ad-
mission of war fiancees was growing
short. A friend supplied another $500
bond, and Sergt. Reynolds asked
TWA to contact his sweetheart in
Rome and tell her everything was
in readiness, including an airplane
ticket.
Days went by without reply from
Miss Culley. Finally, two days before
The war fancee deadline, she ap-
peared at the Rome Office of TWA. |
She had been i'll and unable to con-
tact the airline. 1t was too late to
arrange passage by December 81. but
the United States Government saved
the day with an extension until
midnight tomorrow for those whose
papers were in readiness.
Leaving Rome Wednesday, she
arrived yesterday, only to learn she
had at least one more round to go
with immigration authorities before
her dream came true

there have been no pay increases
for many years.
I'm the meantime, other salaries,
both in Government and industry,
have risen sharply, and oppor-
tunities for larger compensation in
private industry have been greatly
expanded"
Mr.. Truman asked a salary scale
of from $17,500 to $25, 900 for heads
and assistant heads of Government
agencies and departments, and
other Federal officials of comparable
rank. Cabinet officers now get
$4,000 annually, and the heads of
most independent agencies from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year.
The administration backed bill
would increase the Presidents pay
from $4,000 a year to 100000, and

Honest Busmon
Turns in $797
| In Lost Purse

The Capital Transit Co. lost and

happy customer yesterday.
According to E. c. Giddings,

erty of the Continental Hotel.
Treasury Department employe. Miss
Dougherty reported she had lost her

in studying the measure. Several
members said they thought that the
legislation was too important to be
rushed through by the January 20
goal sought by the administration.
1t is expected that the House
leadership will put the pressure on
the committee to report the measure
favorabiy as soon as possible.
In Identical letters to Senator
Mcclellan, President pro tenn OF the
Senate, and to House Speaker Ray
burn, the President said:
Inadequate salaries have long
made it difficult to obtain and hold
able men for positions for greatest
responsibility in the Government

ERNIE ROGUE

MCOOI1lU BAKERY, WuCIG CIlO
Donlon Bakery is now, attract
ed our young Ernie and he
worked there for three and
half years.
At school he showed a me-
chanical trend and so it was
no wonder that after working
a while at McComb's, he Sc
cured employment with the
Schools in Zion and then at
Pacific Steel Boiler Works at
Waukegan.
In broadening his ambition
for machine shop experience,
he later secured employment
in the machine shop with the
Johns Manville corporation
at their Waukegan plant.
There he gained valuable ex-
perience during the next 10
years.
When Andy Sutton began
to enlarge his machine and
welding shop in the new build
ing on 10Th Street, which he
had just finished, Ernie Bogue
became one of his first en-
ployees.
In July of 1947, after MIR.
Sutton decided to liquidate his
local holdings, the men work
ing for him in the machine
shop formed corporation and
bought the business as we'll as
the building. Their plant is
now known as the Northshore
Welding and Machine Shop.
The men who worked there
and formed the new corpora
ton are in their new posi-
tons: Ernest Bogue, president;
Charles Stafford, vice presi-
dent; Harley Owens, treasur-
er; and VIM. Schmidt, secre-
tary.
AL Robertson, who has been
a blacksmith in Zion for over
40 years stayed on with the
ew corporation. Stanley
Schmidt is also a regular en-
ployee.
This business contracts and
handles all types of steel sales.
In welding they specialize in
gas, electric and portable
facilities. The machine shop is
equipped to take care of all
types of repair work as we'll as
some types of manufacture.
In the front part of their
building you will find special
lied machines and rough hard
ware, garden tractors, tools,
etc.
AS secretary of the corpora
ton VIM. Schmidt is in charge
of the office and book work,
and is ably assisted by his Sis
ter, Mrs. Ruth Robinson.
This corporation covers the
Northshore area, including the
cities west of Zion located in
the lakes territory, where they
service in the majority heavy
construction, road machinery
and many other needs. They
also are equipped for very light
work.
Mr.. Bogue was united in
marriage to Miss Mildred
Knight of Winthrop Harbor,
June 28th, 1880. This union is
blessed with three children.
