National Sets
|Najor.Contest
To Spur Sales

National Airlines. borrowing
a page from the soap COM
pany's book, has launched a
major contest to hold onto its
tourist trade.
The airline's biggest business
is from tourists. because Of the
places it serves. About IS per
cent of its tickets are bought
by pleasure travellers, compared
TO- the normal 20 per cent for
most airlines.
"A soft economy should not
decrease business travel because
the speed Of air transportation
increases productive time and
produces economies which in
crease the profits which are
harder to achieve in q recess
sion." Walter Sternberg, senior
vice president Of National. said.
However. in respect to va
cation traffic we must recog-
nize that this summer we will
probably have to compete with
the automobile. furniture, APP
pliance and other highly ag-
gressive merchandisers for the
consumers disposable income.
That is the basis for the
$4,000 contest. with its first
prize of $4,000 Florida home
and a years salary up to $10,.
600. Any passenger on Ma
tional's domestic flights is ell.
gible to enter.
The contest ends June 80.

verse was true in New England.
In early winter. Vermont's
hills were perversely void OF
snow. And in Vermont, a lack
of snow means a lack of dol
lars from the ski trade. )
While you were digging out
from under the Capital City's

came back, "if the weather
were nice in Washington right
now. we'd have a lot of busi-
ness Our weather wasn't bad
down here during your last big
Snowstorm. But the people up
there were too busy digging out
to have time to come see u.s."
AS We said before, let's face
it. You might have plenty of
dreams about seeking a SUMMER

If you're too busy digging out,

Thank You!

patience incident to newspaper delivery prob
lens over the week end.
The Star Circulation Department worked
twice around the clock beginning at pm. on
Saturday.
Faced with the probability that at least a
few of its trucks going into the outlying areas
would slip into ditch or be done in by snow
drift, the department organized six rescue teams
using a COMMUNICATIVE ieep, wrecker and
several weighted haulers.
The teams were called to rescue Star de-
livery trucks near Alexandria Fort Belvoir, Falls
Church. Front Royal and Baileys Crossroads
Va, and at Annapolis Md. The operation con-
tinued through pm. yesterday.
However, door delivery in many rural and
suburban areas encountered long delays and in
some cases had to be abandoned because Of the
heavy drifts on side streets and roads.
