Five Ships viii
Bring Group Home
Booking On One
Liner Ruled Out

PITTSBURGH - Relatives
and friends of the 63-member
CFU Tour Group which de-
parted August 2 aboard the
French Line "SS Flandre"
for an extended stay in Yu-
goslavia are reminded that
not all will return stateside
on one ship.
Some will sail on the first
ship back to the States.
The date, September 10;
the ship, '1le de France"
Other return sailings will
take place September Is
aboard the "Liberte"; Sep
tember rs on the ELAN
dre"; October IL on the
"Liberte"; and October 20
on the "Flandre."
All embarkations will be
out of the port of LIE Havre,
France, via Southampton,
England, to New York.
The tremendous number of
American tourists visiting
Europe this year made it i'm
possible to bring the entire
group Of 63 CFU Tour Group
members back on one French
Line Ship.
Over SIG billion was
spent last year on foreign
travel by Americans. This
is an increase of $500 mil
lion over 1851, which was
a top tourist year.
All records in this respect
are expected to be shattered
before the 1856 overseas
tours end for tens of thou
sands of American citizens.
Helping smash these re-
cords will be the nearly 130
CFU Group Tour members
scheduled to visit Yugoslavia
the next several weeks. They
won't spend a fabulous sum
collectively, but the thou
sands Of dollars they leave
will help the Yugoslav econ
omy in numerous, lasting
ways.
