The Stor's Travel Editor

Around the bend in the road
lies 1950's greatest travel season.
BY all accounts, more holidaying
Americans will travel to more
places than in any other year; and
spring and summer set the pace.
To many. it will mean falling
into the delightful rut Of re-
visiting favorite haunts. Other
millions will experiment, seeking
the thrill of new scenes. For
another and more fortunate group,
1850 will bring realization of travel
dreams that have survived years
of denial-the "once-in-a-life-
time" vacation.
OF these three recreational
travel types, those who explore
new paths solely for eye-appeal
will miss the most. Too often
they neglect few hours of study
that would make the trip a
thousand times more memorable
Some extra reading would impart
significance to the areas through
which they pass. would give a
fuller comprehension of what they
travel to see.
Into this happy-go-lucky class
falls vast number of Americans
who tour Europe. Generally, they
do more reading about the
countries they plan to visit. But

Men should wear the same

Going to Europe for First Time? Here Are Some Hints

1t is predicted that this year will
see more American travelling in
Europe than in any year since
1929. It will be the first visit to
Europe for many of these travellers
so it is natural that they should
have many questions besides those
involving routings and reserva-
tions. 1t is the duty of travel
agent to advise their clients in
such matters. For those who are at
present puzzled. it is hoped that
the following suggestions may
prove helpful: =
Probably foremost in the minds
Of travellers going to Europe for
the first time is the question of
clothing. The travellers wardrobe
should be practical and compact.
For the most part, medium weight
clothing is suitable for summer
travel in Europe. A light weight
topcoat or wrap will prove useful;
also a lightweight raincoat.
A good supply of linen, lingerie,
stockings or socks should be car
ried. It is generally impossible to

ToursOffered
ByGreyhound

More than 200 packaged tours
to every section of the North
American continent, including
Mexico, Canada and Alaska have
been scheduled by the Greyhound
Bus Lines for the summer.
The trips are arranged to pro-
vide advance reservations for ac-
commodations at first-class hotels
or resorts. special sightseeing tours
at points of interest, and bus
transportation, at a predetermined
price. Meals are not included, ex-
cept at national parks or such
other locations where public eat
ing places are not available.
OF the various sightseeing tours
in any given area, a selection has
been made of the ones which pro-
vide the greatest value and
interest to the tourist. The
traveller is not required to carry
large sums of money. Payment
for hotel rooms and sightseeing
trips is made by Greyhound issued
coupons. Most of the Greyhound
tours are planned for one and
two week vacations, but any trip
can be "tailor-made" to fit per-
sonal requirements for special
stop en- route. This is be-
cause the Greyhound trips are
not conducted tours for large
groups.

Unwoy Tourist
In Europe Risks
Being Stranded
By Gornett D. Horner

More Americans are getting
passports to travel abroad this
year than ever before.
So many tourists are going to
Europe that the State Depart
ment is warning them to make
sure they have transportation
home and a place to stay where
they are going, or run the risk
of becoming stranded.
Mrs. Ruth B. Shipley, chief of
the departments Passport Di-
vision, reports that 1,410 pass
ports were issued or renewed dur
ing the first three months of this
year. This was 24.4 per cent more
than during the same period of
1949-and more passports were
issued last year than ever before
in American history. The in
creased rate is expected to con-
tinue.
The influx of American tour
lists into Europe is expected to
drive up prices in the dollar hun
cry countries and may make it
hard to find desirable hotel ac-
commodations there as we'll as
difficult to arrange last-minute
transportation back to the United
States.
Persons applying for pass
ports" Mrs. Shipley warns,
should arrange for homeward
transportation on a fixed date
prior to their departure from the
United States and assure them
selves that reservations have been
made for their hotel accommo-
dations upon arrival abroad.
IF such persons fail to obtain
homeward transportation prior
to departure from the United
States or do not return on the
facilities previously reserved, they
may become stranded abroad for
an indefinite period at consid-
cradle financial loss and personal
hardship"
