Travellers Notebook
Southern RoIwoy Joins in Ticket Reform,
Begins Selling Handy, Eosy-to-Stow Cord
By Jacques FutrelIe, Jr.
The Sfnr's Irnxal Editor

Perhaps satirical cartoons and
comedians jokes had something
to do with it. Anyway. the rail-
roads are getting away from the
accordion pleated passenger
ticket that is more difficult to
fold back into pint size than an
automobile map, and comes in
lengths ranging up to 6 feet.
(No kidding.)
Latest line to introduce tickets
of a convenient size is the South
ern Railway, which last week
started selling what it calls the
first punched card railroad
ticket ever used in this country"
According to the Southern, some
20 years of research and expert
mentation went into the project
before it evolved a card ticket, a
bit bigger than a dollar bill, that
folds to fit easily into wallet or
pocketbook.
If two decades are thought to
be inordinately long for pro-
ducing something simple, it
should be remembered that the
exacting system of railroad ac-
counting, especially for travel
over a series of lines, was a
hurdle to take into account.
Also. if length alone is the con-
Sideration, the ticket would
scarcely be revised, despite being
the butt of jokes.
Speeds Purchaser
Speed in making ticket sales
at the windows was a major
consideration, and railroad
companies joining in the ticket
reform have adopted what the
comedians, in a serious moment,
suggested: preprinting of
tickets. Railroads knew it
wasn't as easy as it sounded.
Hence. one factor in the delay.
About tWo-thirdS of the tickets
sells for travel over it's
routes will be printed in ad-
vance-origin, destination, route,
fare and tax. The agent has
only to pull the ticket out of a
slot. date it and record the total
on a cash register. For the
present, the newborn Southern
ticket is available only for
travel over its own system. Inter
line tickets, starting on Southern

curate and authentic as re-
search can make them.
So popular are these trips to
such places as the Apache Trail
and Montezuma Castle that the
number of tricks has been in
creased by five for the coming
winter season. Although they
are usually one-day affairs, four
overnight tricks have been Sched-
uled in the list, running from
November 20 to April II.
SompIes Of Offerings
First is to a national monu-
ment that affords the visitor
material for hours of delving.
1t is Casa Grande, 600-year- old
ruins of six Indian villages.
Some others:
December 5 and 6-Flagstaff, s.
the Sunset Crater and Walnut
Canyon. Standing on the sum-
nit of Sunset Crater, one can
see lava beds, ruins of prehis-
toric villages and the 12,O0O-foot
San Francisco Peaks. Remains
of 300 cliff dwellings dot the
limestone cliffs of Walnut
Canyon.
December 13 - Wickenburg's
dude ranches and the Desert Sun
RancherS' rodeo.
March 6 and Trek to Super
stitious Mountain, where the
Eastern tenderfoot can scramble
around to find the storied Lost
Dutchman gold mine. Greater
enthusiasm for the hunt is ex-
pected this year, following a re-
port that an Arizona hunter
killed in the mountains a java
lima that had gold scrapings on
its teeth.
The extra day, if not devoted
to searching for the fortune,
can be filled in by listening to
grizzled prospectors spin yarns
about the old West, shop among
the rug-weaverS and silverSmithS
at the base camp, get a close
look at desert plant and animal
life, watch the dancing and in
dulge in tortillas, made by ex-
perts. A campfire fiesta and bar

lar iunket,

and extending onto other lines,
will go on sale December /.
c. 6 O. Devices
A few years ago, the Union
Pacific publicized widely its
simplified ticket that is like q
booklet of stamps one buys in
post offices. It is somewhat
larger and much sturdier, but is
as convenient as to size.
One of the most progressive
railroads in the ticket-reform
move is the Chesapeake g.
Ohio, which not only has
Simple-to-use book ticket but has
adopted other means of making
ticket purchases speedy and easy.
One is the drive-in ticket win
dow introduced at the First and
Merchants Bank of Richmond,
Va, and two of it's branches.
Parking troubles and queueing
up behind other ticket buyers are
eliminated. The traveller simply
telephones the c. & o. Rich
mond Office, orders the tickets
and picks them up at the near
est drive-in window, without
stepping out of the car.
Another time-saver established
by the c. & o., designed espe-
cially for regular, professional
and business traveller, \ is
charge-plate credit plan, already
in vogue in a number of large
department stores. After credit
has been established with the
line and the plate issued, it can
be presented for charging such
expenses as railroad, Pullman
and all-expenSe tour tickets, for
meals in dining cars, baggage
charges and all costs incurred
at the lines fabulous resort hotel,
the Greenbrier, at White Sui
phur Springs, w. Va.
The c. & o. book-type tickets,
8 by 612 inches, describes itself
on the cover with this proud
legend:
"PreSSure-Sensitive paper, used
in printing this ticket, is part
of a new method of railroad
ticketing which C.&O o. progress
designed for your convenience.
AS if by magic, duplicate copies
are clear and legible and keep
your hands, clothes and purse
free from smear and smudge.
This compact, eaSy-to- handle,
all-inclusive ticket form is a
progressive step, also, in inter-
line railroad ticketing. 1t makes
obsolete the long, bulky coupon
strip tickets in use on railroads
for many years."
Dons to Trek Again
Unique among guide services
the world traveller finds in his
Wanderings is that offered by
the Dons Club, in Arizona's
Valley of the Sun.
Business and professional men,
today's Dons have organized
themselves into an exclusive,
limited-membership group and
absorbed the lore, history, ro-
nance and beauty of a vast
area that surrounds Phoenix.
This they impart to visitors, who
are welcome to join them in
tricks into the neighboring coun-
try. Their running accounts on
the trips and at the site of in
