"Particularly In Autumn1
...... ... Geneva never, closes down.
, No matter what the time of
, day. No matter what the time
of year.
While Spring and Summer
are the traditional tourist sea- -sons
with formal gardens lin-
: lng the shores of Lac Leman
(the Lake of Geneva's official
name) and sailboats and '
steamers dotting the waters, in
- Winter, Geneva becomes a lav- -orite
starting point for winter-
, sport excursions. Some of the
world's best ski country is only
minutes away.
Autumn, on the other hand,
is considered by many seasoned
travellers to be prime time in
this cosmopolitan capital of
French-speaking Switzerland. -The
weather is still perfect
The ."blse," or north wind,
breezes in from the mountains
and across the Lake, keeping
the air pure and temperate.
With Summer's end, Geneva
swings back into its normal
tempo of activity. Tourists no
longer crowd the city, allowing
an unhurried savoring of the
attractions which have made
Geneva the honorary capital of
the world.
Geneva, a city with a 2.000
year history and intense civic
pride, is a happy blend of
French "Joie de vivre" and the
Swiss passion for order and
tradition; A highly civilized
, center with' rustic provincial
ism just around the corner, an
; efficient modern city where the
. past is. allowed to live on and
' be revered.
- It is particularly in Autumn
that Geneva earns its reputa
tion as a major French cultural
center. The Genevans are back
ip,town and the music and art
season is underway. The acous
tically perfect Grand Theatre
1$ the scene of concerts, operas
and pallets.
Geneva has many fine mu
seums of art, natural history,
science and ethnography.
There pre also special museums

Autumn in Geneva Is a good time for an unhurried exploration
of the Old City's winding streets, lined with antique shops and
Charming restaurants.
devoted to such diverse sub
jects as watches, education, old
musical instruments, automo
biles,, Voltaire and Jean
Jacques Rousseau. The latter is
one of Geneva's favorite sons
for whom the tiny island just
below the outflow of the Rhone
River is named.
The center of the city is com
pact and ideal for walking
tours. A particularly enjoyable
route rambles through Gene
va's Old City, "La Vieille Ville."
This is the largest of the old
towns in Switzerland and is
substantially restored. Along
the cobbled streets which wind
up and down the hill are an
tique shops, art galleries and
charming restaurants and side
walk cafes. '
If you were to exhaust the
delights of Geneva before they
exhaust you, there are many
one-day excursions to be made
outside the city. Lausanne and
Montreux, two other Lac Le
man resorts, lie just around the
bend through stretches of vine
yards. The largest casino in
Europe is just minutes away in
France. (Bring your passport.)
Italy is only an hour's driving
time through the Mt. Blanc
Tunnel, the longest in the
world. Further afield, Paris,
Milan, Rome, Barcelona,
Frankfurt and Brussels are
reachable in about an hour by
Swissair.
The Geneva Tourist Office is
especially hard-working on be
half of visitors. It is located at
3, Place des Bergues; Geneva,
Switzerland. Questions can be
answered too, by Swissair or
the Swiss National Tourist Of
fice, both at the Swiss Center;
608 Fifth Avenue; New York,
New York 10020, or by any
Swissair district or reservations
office nationwide. Ask about
their "Take a Break" fly-drive
programs and "City Vacations."
Do Budgets Really Work?
The concept of budgets and
"budgeting" has become as
much an American institution
as apple pie and motherhood.
Few people will admit they
don't budget their money well,
and, on the other hand, people
who never budget generally ad
mit it with a dab of guilt and a
dash of shame.
. But a few nagging questions
make one wonder if budgets are
realistic. Do people with similar
incomes and family sizes truly
apportion their disposable in
comes in the same manner? And
more important still, should
they?
IThe answer to both questions
may well be a resounding "no."
Needs differ from family to
family, and a budget should re
flect these iadividuai differences.!
TffieiTr tHartgmV
Researchers at the Consumer
Service Center of the Scott Pa
per Company point out that
lifestyles are definitely chang
ing. Several recent studies have
yielded trend statistics that show
how far removed many standard
budgets are from real life.
For example:
Many are foregoing tradi
tional three-meal-a-day eating
patterns for ones that better fit
their schedule.
People are spending more on
travel, entertainment and eating
r,UttfV - 'ifc-iV Km- .'fv I
Fashion fads are shorter-lived,
which means an increase in
clothing costs if the wearer
wants to stay in style,
There's less emphasis on dur
ability in home expenditures.
The emphasis on leisure living
points to a new interest in con
venience. According to the Scott
researchers, one reason for the
high sales of paper toweling is
that today's consumer prefers
something she can use and throw
away, rather than having to
save rags and launder them.
Budgeting Clothes
Clothing budgets, also, often
ignore the trend to individuality
and expediency, not to mention
personal taste. For example:
-How many budgets consider
hand-me-downi? A family of
, four can cut clothing costs con
siderably if both children are of
the same sex. Again, more
money to spend on leisure liv
ing. More and more women are
entering the working world. A
Working wife usually needs far
more for clothing. Do budgets
usually consider this? Personally-tailored
ones do; standard
published ones, rarely.
Individuals should adjust bud
gets to their own or families'
needs. Standard budgets empha-

CROSSWORD
Aid Plant
With Good
Light Use
Light, not fertilizer, may
be the house plant's most
limiting factor during the
winter months. The plant
may need a little help to
make the best use of the
light that is available.
Henry J. Smith, exten
sion landscape horticul
turist at North Carolina
State University, suggests
keeping plant leaves clean
as one beneficial measure.
