$4,000.
She refused to let her chauf-

Maids and bellboys, man

to turn into the desk anything
that they think might have
some value. But if you left
toothpaste, cosmetics or a
toothbrush, chances are you

expensive to return all the little
things the hotel men say.
Chances are, if you want it
bad enough you will think of it

you get home.
The prize goes to a harried
young couple who checked out

beach.
They were so miles from

they had done. Despite red
faces, there was a happy re-
union when they got back.

TRY LOCAL FOOD
ON YOUR SOUTH
AMERICAN TRIP

Today's tip from a travel
expert:
Sample the native foods
on your jaunt around
South America. That's the
advice Of Robert A. Roe,
district sales manager of
National Airlines. Mr.. Roe
has just returned from a
South American trip.
TRY not To eat in your
hotel" he said. The food is
generally more expensive,
and is not as typicaly
native as in the local
restaurants. Ask the con-
cierge, or the airline peo-
pie. They'll give you a
rundown on the best local
restaurants and tell you
what to order (the menu
is no help unless you speak
SPANISH.
Watch out for too
highly seasoned foods and
the local water outside of
the hotel. Too much Of
either will leave you with
'mal-de-gringo,' a most
unpleasant illness.
IF you like your coffee
American" take along a
Jar of instant coffee. South
American coffee isn't like
ours, and the boiled milk
is no help either"

that contract was signed, AHA

Amexco's entry into the credit

The idea that a wallet unfet-
tered by money is a travellers
best possession is comparatively
new. but it has grown tremen-
dously in recent years. Taking
a vacation without the neces-
sity of bothering with mere
money has gained wide appeal.
Big Plans
The American Express Co.
hopes its credit card will be-
come the most comprehensive
yet.
1t works this way:
The prospective traveller pays
So for his card and SO for each
member of his family who will
be using the credit facilities.
The card will be good at
such a wide variety Of places as
hotels, motels, restaurants,
florists, car rental establish
ments, kilograms and cables,
theater tickets, sport shops,
gift shops and for such things
sold by American Express
Travel Service as air, rail,
steamship and bus tickets.
Billing will be direct from the
American Express Co.
This is not unlike other COM
prehenSive card systems. but 1t
is expected that Amexco's sys-
tenn will broaden into I'M
dreamed-of fields.
Lawyers Busy
Thousands of contracts al
ready have been signed with
individual establishments. and
Amexco lawyers are working

tracts for the october l start

Ocean City
Fall Season
Under Way
BY DICK L0HMEYER
Special Writer for The star


OCEAN CITY, Nd. August
30.--The Labor Day holiday,
which once signalled the end of
the summer vacation, has
taken on a new meaning to the
modern vacationer of today.
With a shorter work week,
m o dern transportation and
super hig h W avs, pleasure
minded vacationers have dis
covered q fourth" month OF
summer fun at Ocean City.
Today Labor Day no longer
brings an end to summer ac-
tivity, but rather acts as an
announcement that the best
vacation month of the summer
has arrived.
A look at the facts point up
wildly the vacationing qualities
found in Ocean City during
September and even October.
Through the summer
temperatures Of the ocean In
crease gradually until they
reach just the right degree for
bathing during August and
September, The bathing is
further enhanced by an I'M
crowded beach, even at the
usually congested Ninth street
area.
Lower Rates
Perhaps the best feature of
all about a September week
end is the low off-season rates
featured by all hotels. motels,
and apartment houses. Ac-
commodations that bring $25
to $50 a day at the peak Of the
season are offered at $40 or
even less to the so-ealled of
season vacationer. Other ac-
commodations are proportion
ately lower. The reduced rates
aren't just limited to hostelrys
but are carried through to the
restaurants. night clubs, etc.
Parking, always o problem
at any ocean resort, is a pleas
ure after the Labor Day holi-
day. Even the parking meters
are removed. Driving becomes
easy as city of1icials turn of
all but three Of the towns
traffic lights.
Fishing, too. continues good
through the month Of Septem-
Der and even October. In one
case it becomes better as the
mighty drum makes its APP
pearance in the surf waiting
to do battle with the surf fish,
erman.
Marlin Abound
Local sportsmen have long
known Of the abundance Of
white marlin of this Maryland
coast during the month OF
September. Catches during
the fourth" month could equal
those of the peak month OF
August II only anglers would
continue to hunt. Marlin fish
ing isn't the only fishing that
remains good at Ocean City
in fact the blues, which dwin-
die in size and number as the
season progresses, begin to in
crease in size and become more
numerous through September
and october.
