if the airlines insist on low stalling speed,

Roads to Resorts

HAVANA.-Much work has been
done in recent months on repair
of Cuba's existing roads and con-
struction of new ones. The new
road to Varadero Beach is COM
pleted. It >lops more than an
hour off the former three and one
half hour trip from Havana.
The town will soon boast a new
yacht basin
Perhaps one Of the most inter-
esting innovations is the work be-
ing done to complete the road
running south through Santa
Clara Province. This will make
it easy to visit Trinidad, Cuba S
most picturesque city.
Long favorite with anti
quarians and sightseers, Trinidad
has not enjoyed its deserved pop
