Funeral services will be held For Travel And Mventere LOUISA'S LETTER * By Stanley Jarfies The best buy currently available for skiers who wish to fly from New York to Eu­ rope is that offered by Ice­ landic Airlines. We've point­ ed out the money-saving po­ tential represented by this small, non-IATA airline in past columns. This still holds true. - < Friday at the Johnson-Foster funeral home and interment will be in Hollywood.

WHEN AUOITORS FOUND THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN UNETHICAL PRACTICES WITH HUGE DEBTS OF OVER $175 MILLION, HE SHOT HIMSELF IN '32 CROSSWORD Gordon For example, Icelandic Airlines tour fares to Austria and return, a fare which in­ cludes six nights in a chalet, plus two meals a day, plus the bus trip from Luxembourg to Austria and from Austria back to Luxembourg (where Icelandic lands) is only $269. That means one can fly the Atlantic and back and get accommodations for a week, including two meals a day for less than one normal­ ly pays to visit- Europe in the off-season on the regu­ larly-scheduled airlines! If that's not one of the world's great flying bargains, nothing is--and that's why Icelandic flights are often full, One can also ski a week in Chamonix, France, for two dollars less than the Aus­ trian package tour, though receiving only one meal a day, rather than two. Both these bargains are available from December 14th through the end of March, though in February and March there is an additional charge of $10--this being the high season. On such tours one gets a room with double occupancy. That means if tWo go togeth­ er they share a room but if one goes alone, he must share a room with another skier to get that price. If a single room is a must, then the skier can pay only $14 more and have a room to himself, the cost still being well un­ der $300. Two-week Icelandic ski tours are also available and are even better bargains. Two weeks in Austria, for exam­ ple, cost only $313 double occupancy. That gives the traveler twelve nights in a chalet, two meals daily and bus transportation from Lux­ embourg to Austria and • re­ turn* plus the round-trip air fare. The same kind of bargain is offered for two week ski tours to France. And if the skier prefers a self-drive car, rather than the bus trip (which the writer recommends to those who don't mind driv­ ing and who are going for two weeks), the extra charge is only something over $30, for two weeks! Thus one can haye a car for two weeks, a hotel, with most meals, and round-trip fare to Europe for skiing for less than $350 on Icelandic! Dear Louisa: I have a devoted sister, in another state, whom I help­ ed when she and her husband first started in the business world, and he was drawn in­ to the armed services.

SWIMMING MARK KOERBER Mark is recognized this week by his coach for the outstanding performance he turned in during the Libertyville Invitational Meet. NYE TRU-VALUE PHARMACY 1327 N. Riverside Dr.. McHenry, III husband landed good jobs," she asked me to purchase an expensive piece of furniture for Iter, stating she would .reimburse me. I gladly re- spOhded to her request. At family gatherings she com­ mented on how attractive the furniture was, saying she would pay me in a few days. Well, the few days have turned into a few years, and her financial status is excel­ lent: Vacationing in Europe, and living "high on the hog," Wallace & 1976 Rules for the 1976 Democratic convention have been re­ drawn and it seems Alabama Governor George Wallace will have a better chance of influencing the outcome in the nom­ ination derby as a result. Wallace is likely to have more delegates at the conven­ tion--i f he runs--because the rules for 1976 provide state delegates be ^plit among those competing in the state pri­ maries. Whereas heretofore Wallace has run strongly in many non-southern states, often the winner-take-all system meant he had no delegates from them at the national convention. Actually the division of delegates in proportion to the primary vote each received is a desirable reform, long needed. Another reform effected was elimination of the "unit rule" at conventions by which entire state delegations vote as a unit few that candidate with majority support with­ in them. This change is also a democratic reform. Democrats have, in addition, also abandoned the racial quota rule of 1972, which attempted to force every state delegation's makeup to reflect racial percentages of the population; unwisely, they retained a rule requiring delega­ tions be divided equally between males and females. (The principle is the same in both cases--delegates should be those who are fairly selected in their states because of their interest, qualifications and effort, without regard to sex or race rules, other than one assuring all races and sexes rep­ resentation.) The changes now being hailed by Wallace undoubtedly increase his potency; if he has four hundred, or five hun­ dred delegates, rather than two or three hundred, he might well play the role of kingmaker. Conceivably, he could be nominated but that is considered unlikely by most political experts. If Senator Ted Kennedy remains the favorite for the party's top nomination, the latest changes in convention rules in­ crease Wallace's influence; they give him a much improved chance to be the number-two man on any ticket--if he would accept it. so to4 speak. Recently I re­ minded her about her unpaid furniture debt and she jok­ ingly put me off, again. The purpose of this letter is to ask you how I can ob­ tain what my sister owes me, without bffending her? D.R.-Ga. Answer: It's sad but true that those people we do the most for get so accustomed to it that they take it for granted and really resent it if the givers ask for some return. Others conveniently forget their debts. Personally, I see no rea­ son for anyone who owes a debt, to be offended if he is asked to repay it. They should be ashamed, not to have repaid it. Of course, there are those who have so many tragedies or bad luck that they are unable to pay, and that is different. But it's verygallingto see someone, who owes you mon­ ey, buying luxuries and tak­ ing trips which you cannot afford. « Why not tell your sister that you would like to have her check on a certain date as you are planning to use it for something special. PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER.FR in AY JANUARY 4. 1974 Railroads & Profit The current fuel crunch focuses increasing attention on the nation's railroads, where passenger service has dwin­ dled to a stop in many areas even as roads and highways have become congested bottlenecks. A • U.S. railroads, under our free enterprise system, were operated to earn profits and when they no longer could op­ erate in the black service was discontinued, even though the Interstate Commerce Commission slowed the process in some cases. . Only now is it being realized by lawmakers, travelers and other concerned citizens that the* profit concept concerning the railroads was a wrong concept. Railroads in most Eu­ ropean countries have long been subsidized. They are not expected to make a currency profit. They produce an overall profit in many other ways. They reduce highway congestion, afford millions safe, dependable transportation, enable commuters to get to work, provide a valuable, necessary public service in many other ways. Thus good railroads do show a "profit" in the intangible sense of the word--to the nation as a whole. As fuel rationing looms in the near future and all means at our disposal should obviously be utilized to provide the public adequate transportation much more emphasis ̂ should be placed on rehabilitating modern passenger service on the nation's railroads. The federal government is justified in subsidizing this vital segment of the national transportation system. Setting a date for repayment may impress her. Louisa.
