- The Travellers Notebook
By Jacques FutreIle, il.
The Stor's Jruyel Editor

In view of the changing habits
of the American vacationing pub
lie, II seems appropriate to re-
define the phrase "off f-season
travel" In mind is Nassau, which
had its best summer season in
history last year. and Florida
which has developed a booming
summer business.
Summer is definitely of season
in those sectors Of the worlds va
cation lands. Yet 1t is by nc
means unpopular. which the
phrase off-season hitherto has i'm
piled. Unpopularity and off-sea-
son can no longer be linked as
closely as ID the past. Now, Off
season has come to mean simply
the opposite Of high or peak sea-
son.
Let us say, therefore. that off,
season simply is less exclusive
that more society names and q
higher monied class will be found
at resorts during the high season.
But popularity is another matter,
Lower off-season costs usually
make such places extremely pop
ular, especially among vacation
bargain hunters. And If bargains
are what an individual wants
they already have begun or are
in the immediate offing for such
popular spots as Florida and what
is loosely described as the Carib-
bean area.
Double Saving-As in the past
summer savings can be effected in
both transportation and in ac-
commodations. Transportation Ii
expected to be adequate to serve
all those who wish to head South
IN the summer. Not only will ex-
cursion rates be available on air.
lines to Florida points; but added
aircoach services and convenient
economical package tours have
been arranged. Excursion sum-
mer air rates will save about 2s
per cent on round-trip fares.
Railroads foreSee the possibility

ipated. Some pinch in Pullman
space Is possible. owing to in
creased demand for travel in other
directions during the summer.
New Nassau Service-The re-
cent announcement that British
Overseas Always would cut its
service between Miami and Mas
sau. effective today. is no sign that
facilities for this route
will be lacking. BOAC today re-
duced this service to twice weekly.
But also effective today, Bahamas
Airways started twice = a day
Miami-Nassau flights. BOAC is
the parent organization OF Ba-
hamas Airways.
Balls Nassau Miami service Is
IN addition to the one it operated
during 1850 between West Palm
Beach. Fla, and Nassau. This
service win continue through the
summer on q three -times-a-week
basis. according to present plans.
BoAC already has put into eff
'ect q 30-day excursion rate be-
,ween New York and Nassau. The
'ound-trip fare was cut about SO
per cent on March is. That
brings the cost to $125, plus tax.

Fairfax FreehoIders
Plan for Mass Protest
ION Reassessmenf

A mass meeting to protest the
recently completed real estate
reassessment in Fairfax County is
to be sponsored by the county's S
Freeholders Protective Association.
The meeting was planned last
might at a gathering of the group
lin Fairfax Courthouse. DR.. George
Schulz, chairman of a committee
ion arrangements, will invite
county officials to attend to an
swer questions about the reassess-
meIlt.
I'VE want to find out why the
final reassessment figure was so
much higher than the estimate
and to find out all about the ois-
misSal Of Graham James, the as
sesor," said Manning Gaseh, Free
holders president.
While arrangements for the
protest meeting are being COM
pleted. the group decided to take
other steps against increased tax
alton. A committee was author
lied to appear before the Board
OF Supervisors and recommend
impounding of the estimated 81
million surplus If it has to be COL
lected, or reduction Of the assess
ment rate If it is legally possible.
The county expects surplus of
nearly 81 million because the tax
rate was fixed on an estimated
real estate assessment of $99 mil
lion, and the final figure turned
out to be $141 million.
The Freeholders also voted to
see If the supervisors would well
come assistance from a proposed
county group that would offer
hints on economy to municipali-
| ties.
Mr.. Gasch said some Freehold
ers planned to take their reassess-
ment figures to court. He said
the whole reassessment could be
thrown out If the court finds many
cases are inequitable.

Auto Club Raps Plan
For Local Traffic Laws
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 26.-A
spokesman for the Automobile
Club Of Virginia lashed out at a
suggestion that all counties be
given authority to adopt local
traffic ordinances paralleling State
laws.
According to G.. Wise Wescott,
such plan would take us "back
to the horse and buggy days of
the fee system in counties"
Mr.. Wescott's blast was aimed
at a report recently released by
the Virginia Advisory Legislative
Council.
Trial Justice w. H. Overbey of
Rustburg, a member of the VALC
committee that drew up the re-
port, declared the criticism
misses the whole idea" of the
proposal. Arlington County already
has the power to evoke local
traffic ordinances.
He said the recommendations
would stop the fee system already
operating in some counties.
Delegate William H. Irvine, of
Campbell County made the same
observation. He suggested the
