vacation spent in New York City
and in Europe. They were accom-
panied by their daughter, Cheryl,
a TWA hostess, international.
Miss Benson resides in New

On October 10, they left on a

the Italian cuisine and noting the
many contrasts of old and new in
the Eternal City"
The next stop was Milan which
was used as a jumping-off spot

left by train for Geneva, where
they spent one cool night before
leaving by plane for Paris.
There was considerable Difficult

The Blues

Williamson and others.
I am sure this area has as

It Is true that two stations
occasionally play country
blues. but not enough In
comparison to their over
emphasis on popular rhythm
and blues. It isn't worth
waiting through 10 popular
songs just to hear one blues
record.
I am not 90 optimistic as
