Travel, Nation's Third Largest Industry
Travel (the tourist Industry
to) general) is now the third
largest industry In the United
States and In a number of
other countries. Long-dis
tance travel Is Increasing by
leaps and bounds. Not too long
ago sea crossings of the
oceans were fastest trans
portation but today air travel
Is number one In speed and
volume. Yet genuinely first
class ocean crossings are still
only available In a ship.
That situation could end In
two or three years when huge
jets, with ample space for
private rooms, go Into ser
vice. But even then aircraft
will be unable to offer the
space and elegance of the big
ger liners, with their dances,
parties, swimming pools, etc.
One can generate a good dis
cussion rather quickly with the
question whether today's air
liners offer really first class
ocean crossings. In tourist or
economy sections It Is ad
mittedly somewhat grim and
crowded, in 1959, when I flew
on the record-breaking New
York-Moscow nonstqf) flight
(8 hours, 56 minutes) with
former Vice President Nixon,
we all naturally thought the

early and prolonged bloom and
more of it than most marigolds
otter.
The plentiful flowers are due
to a quirk In plants. The Nug
gets are hybrids between two
species of marigold and, be
cause of this, are Incapable of
forming seeds. Since a plant
exists only to reproduce its
kind and these marigolds can
not do so, they simply keep on
producing flowers.
This, of course, works to the
advantage of the gardener for
these compact plants can be
depended on to look like
mounds of color from early
summer to frost.
The uses of any compact,
low-growing annual are my
riad. Try these little marigolds
as an edging, in solid plantings.
In window boxes or in plant
ers. You'll be delighted with
them In any of these situations.
LINGERS LONGER
A new white radish which
stays in edible condition (or
6 weeks Is called All Seasons.
Plant in sprint or in late
summer.
Because radishes are one of
the first vegetables to be plant
ed In almost any garden, the
advent of a new variety that
is edible for a longer period
Is important news for spring.
Called All Seasons, this Intro
duction Is a white radish with
long, straight roots that are
ready to eat when an Inch
across and 6 Inches long.
Instead of being edible for
only a week or two, this var
iety Is said to remain In good
eating condition for 6 weeks,
until roots are a foot long and
2Vt inches in diameter, with
out becoming pithy or strong
to taste.
Thus gardeners who love to
use radishes In salads or eat
radish sandwiches can enjoy
these dishes longer from Just
one Job of soil preparation and
one planting.

new accommodations excit
ing.
This was on a 707, equipped
with small lounge up front.
But after nine hours In the
air, the human cargo which
stepped out of the plane at
Moscow Airport was a bit
worn. And even on today's
Blue Ribbon transatlantic runs
by the major airlines, flights
usually require a minimum of
eleven hours from bedroom
to bedroom, longer If one
files further than London or
Paris. That takes the bounce
out of even the most hardy
traveler.
Sea travel, on the other hand,
can be a rest but if the weather
happens to turn really sour, it
too can be an ordeal and a
longer one. Once In March I
crossed on one of the world's
largest ships which did every
thing but roll over for four
days. Meals were less that a
pleasure and the swlm-nlng
pools were usually closed. Ex
ercising, sports and other ac
tivities drastically curtailed.
If, however, one has normal
luck, a sea crossing can pro
vide a pleasant rest. Tourist
and even cabin accommoda
tions on some lines leave much
to be desired. First" class on
the great ships is expensive
but if one has an expense ac
count or wants to try it and
pay the tab (about a thousand
dollars round-trip), It is a
fine experience.
A suggestion worth consid
ering Is taking along a small
car. This can often be done
for about 9150, round-trip.
American licenses are ac
cepted everywhere in Europe
and one can drive all over the
continent In this way Inex
pensively. By ship one can
also carry ample luggage. An
other worthwhile suggestion is
that every traveler take along
motion sickness tablets? for
either ship or air crossings.
The dining rooms of luxury
ocean liners are perhaps the
most fascinating centers of
ship activity on ships. But

hard daily, two meals a day
Is all he can consume with

tation may be reduced in a

modations.
Italy Favored
I am often asked why It Is
that so many Americans, es
pecially ladles, favor Italy
In their travels. Nature seems
to provide the two primary
ones--weather and scenery.
There are, of course, other
reasons. The Italians are gen
erally pleasant and friendly
even If there are beggars and
others attempt to overcharge.
TftlXgtendency exasperates
many an American male, who
does not want to have to cope
with dishonesty on his vaca
tion.
But other things more than
I make up for It among most
Americans. The food Is ex
cellent and the Italians like
good music and beauty In gen
eral, and prices are cheap
when one finis honest prlces?
away from the tourist meccas.
If you go to Venice, and I
suppose everyone must once,
don't expect to stay In thtf
best hotels cheaply, or eat
at the best restaurants cheap
ly. Venice Is like a small
Paris, where the American
tourist dollar Is major source
of Income. American tourists
have been going there so long
the Venetians know Just how
much the traffic will bear
how much Americans would
pay at home.
But In the smaller places,
and In the cities and towns
not so famous, one can still
do wall In Italy. Prices are
set by law, according to the
class of hotel, beginning at
luxury class and going on
down four more classes. One
can stay comfortably In the
cities In first class and even
second class hotels. The thing
to check In advance are bath
room arrangements.
Eating? If one will select the
Italian menu (and not the Eng
lish)? can be quite Inexpen
sive. Occasionally one will
find price variations between
Italian and English msnus In
the tourist centers. But one
should eat comfortably for
600 or 800 lire In many places,
which Is Just over a dollar
(620 lire to the dollar). Wine?
the 'house wine which one
should usually try- -should be
no more than fifty cents for a
half bottle, perhaps less.
The beauty of the Italian
countryside, especially the
sea coasts, of which there are
so many, on both the Adriatic
and Mediterranean sides, and
In the Alps and on the southern
slopes of the Alps, Is not sur
passed In Europe.
One can begin to visit Italy
In May, since the weather Is
superior to that of the more
northerly European countries,
and can linger after sumner
Is gone (not forgotten) until
October, a beautiful month.
And, finally, there Is ro
mance In the air In Italy,
perhaps not so much for the
American male as much as
for the female, since the Ita
lian male appaals more to
American women that the ty
pical Italian girl to Ameri
can men. A night In Venice
or Naples, or Rome, with
good food, goad wine and good
company can gather a lot of
steam. And trigger memories
one so secretly and nostal
glcly recall as the years creep
on.
