FEWER DEPENDENT TRIPS
BRING PASSPORT DECLINE

sharp decline in passport applications in December

from military dependents and to bad weather at home
The Passport Office says 1t does not believe the
decline indicates any change in the trend toward in
creased European travel.
The Passport Office is holding to its estimate of an
increase in the number Of European travellers from the
United States this year. expecting applications
during the next few months.
1t Is estimated that nearly 1000 Americans will
leave for Europe during the first six months Of this year.

and rugged snow-capped Alps.
Its location just south of
the famed Brenner Pass has
for centuries made it a cross
roads for the traveller. Known
variously as Bolzano, Bozen,
South Tyrol, and Alto Adige,
1t has long been a summer
and winter playground for
Germans and Italians.
Recently it has been dis
covered by a growing number
of English and Dutch tourists,
but it remains virtually un-
discovered by the traveller from
the United States.
Its prices-a fine room with
bath and three meals a day
at SIS or $6-remain low.
This is an area for the
traveller who revels in the ply
sical beauty of a contrasting
landscape; in exploring the
ancient castles Of the robber
barons, dukes and princes; in
poking through interesting
shops lining narrow and wind
ing arcaded streets; in viewing
the remnants of magnificent
are; in the sampling of new
and different wines, and in
the rugged sports of skiing,
hiking and mountain climbing.
At its lowest point, the pro-
vince is sos feet above sea le-
vel. and at its highest, 1878
feet.
Cultural Contrast
The cultures are as con-
trasting as the landscape.
About two-thirds of the areas
100000 residents are German
speaking, and one-third Ital-
ian-speaking.
Woven into these is the
culture of the Ladini, in the
Groden Valley. The language
of the Ladino stems from the
ancient alpine Roman. and is
similar to the Romantsch
tongue of Southern Switzer-.
lands Grisons. The Ladini
are famed for wood carving,
about 10 per cent of which is
exported to the United States.
Each town and village bears
two names - Bolzano Bozen.
Merano-Meran, Ortisei-St. Ul-
rich, Recommendation, Sa-
lorno-Salurn-aS do the sect
ions and rivers. The traveller
lucky enough to be here on
festive occasions will see a
wide variety of colorful ira
~ditional costumes, differing
from village to village.
It's inhabitants are indust-
rious, frugal, and sticklers for
detail. Atop one mountain
peak which measured out at
3,999 meters, they have piled
another meter of rock to make
it nice round 1000 meters.
We reached this area of con-
trasting culture and landscape
by bus from Milan after an
Alfalfa jet flight from New
York. It also. can be reached
by rail, from both Milan and
Innsbruck. The road and rail
route from Milan lies along
the high-walled valley of
Adige- Etsch River.
Historic Verona
On the way we passed
through Verona, where. the
cynics say, you can view three
balconies, each claiming to be
that of Juliet. Verona is also
the site of q remarkably well
preserved ampitheater. similar
in style to Rome's Colosseum.
In summer, it is the scene Of
operas staged by a local COM
pany.
One of the most elaborately
furnished hotels we have seen
sits at the edge of a quiet
courtyard a short distance
from the center of Verona.

AVisit to q Land
Of Many Facets
BY JACK JONAS

BOLZANO, Italy The Province of Bolzano,
nestled in the Dolomtes of Northern Italy, is land
of many ancient castles, many excellent hotels many
differing Names variety of cultures and few Amer-
can tourists
It is land of fertile valleys hemmed by towering

and 1t numbered among its
guests Mozart, Goethe, Heine,
Francis I and Maria Teresa
of Austria, Franz Josef of
HapSburg. Vittorio Emanuel
II, and Garibaldi.
Rich Furnishings
The new hotels b. rooms
are richly and colorfully fur
nished in period style. Each
room is different, and through
out the hotel, 18 separate
periods are represented.
The proprietor, who admits
he is not seeking a profit,
rents these elaborate rooms at
$12 a day double, with three
meals.
Perched on seemingly in
accessible peaks on the road
from Verona to Bolzano are
the ruins of many castles from
which feudal lords exacted trib-
ute from valley travellers.
Here also is the beginning
of the South Tyrol wine coun-
try, with acre after acre of
vineyards on the lower slopes
of the mountains. The area
produces so per cent of Italy's
surprising variety of wines.
At the annual wine-tasting,
held around Easter time, more
than 200 varieties are brought
out for trial. Housed in Max
imilian's former hunting lodge
an imposing castle at Ring
berg on a hillside overlooking
Lake Kaltern-is the South
Tyrolese Wine Museum.
The museum contains wine
presses and drinking vessels
dating from pre- Christian
times. On display is q 800
year-old grapevine, which. the
guide tells you, is a youngster
among vines. In two upstairs
rooms, models of the more ia
nous castles of South Tyrol
are exhibited.
Starting Point
Bolzano, capital of South
Tyrol, is a logical starting
point for excursions into the
countryside. Its climate, even
in winter, is comparatively
mild, and ski centers can be
reached by a short drive.
Indicative of the mild cli=
mate of the valleys is the fact
that an occasional palm tree
and cactus plant can be seen
flourishing. The blooming sea-
son for its flowers lasts from
March through October.
The city of Bolzano has
been an agricultural center
since the 7O0s. 1t developed
before the provincial capitals
of Meran and Innsbruck, and
the Sees of Brixen and Trent.
South Tyrol produces 300. 900
tons Of apples and pears each
year, and Bolzano is the CEN
ter for 270 individual agricul-
tural societies. Timber. cattle
and dairy products round out
the produce from the land.
Since early in the 18th
century, Bolzano has been a
busting tourist center.
Popular In Summer
Roads from here lead to
intriguing sites of historic in
terest, and to fine summer and
winter resorts. Despite the
comparative mildness of its
winter weather, however, sum-
mer remains the high" tourist
season, and in winter many Of
the major hotels are closed.
Landmarks include the
Gothic Parish Church, with a
spire carved by Lutz Won
Schussenried; the Franciscan
church with its cloister and
crib-altar by Hans Klocker,
dating from 1900. and the
Cries Parish Church with an
Erasmus-altar by Michael Pa
cher, dating from 1475.
Just to the north is the 18th
century Runkelstein Castle.
with we'll preserved frescoes
from the German heroic sagas.
A few minutes away are
mountain railways, cable cars
and chair lifts leading to the
