Dilbert Grumman Vintage Travel Advertisement

College graduates who join the new Navy Aviation Officer Candidate Program really have it made. Instead of going through flight schools as cadets, kept single by regulations, they are made ensigns after 4 months of preflight school. For the next 14 months, until they get their wings, they earn $438.58 a month, more if married.

Dilbert never had it that good.

Come to think of it, many a civilian doesn't have it as good either. Figure the retirement pay these ensigns will draw after a mere 20 years. Even if they never get a promotion (impossible, since ensigns make "jg" in 18 months) they'll get $280.00 a month for life. To get the same, you would have to pay $35.00 a month for 20-years worth of $80,000 endowment insurance.

As for travel, glance at George in the picture taken in Jamaica, B.W.I. Still single and only 26, George has already been to London, Paris, Madrid, the French and Italian Rivieras, Rome, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.

You get all these benefits and more, plus a $70,000 training to become a professional pilot. In return you will be doing your country a service. For details about AOC and NavCad (only 2 years of college required) write: NavCad, Washington 25, D.C.

Dense forest and greenery the steeply rising mountains and foothills of the Black sea region, where the main crops are tea, tobacco and hazelnuts grown on the narrow coastal plain and lower hills.

Protected from Central Anatolia byhigh and desolate peaks, the Black Sea Comnene Empire of Trebizond was the last Byzantine foothold to submit to Turkish domination, eight years af ter the fall of Istanbul.

The hilly terrain has hindered ready access to what are some of Turkey's finest sand beaches and scenic coastline. In the west, within easy reach of Istanbul are Kilyos, Sile, and Agva. To the east of these are Akcakoca, Amasra, a picturesque town with a Byzantine citadel, Sinop, the birthplace of Diogenes, the Greek satirist and philosopher, and Giresun, the native land of the cherry tree, introduced to Europe by the Roman general and epicure Lucullus.

For historical monuments Trabzon is the best endowed of the Black Sea towns, with a number of Byzantine buildings, the most notable being the ehurch of Saint Sophia and the 14th century Monastery of Sumela, which clings to a sheer rock face south of Trabzon.

Beyond Trabzon is Rize, the centre of Turkish tea cultivation. In early summer the mountain slopes here are bright with purple rhododendrons.

Safranbolu, south of Amasra, is a Ottoman market town by-passed by the 20th century, where the elegant spacious timber and adobe houses have been restored and present an unspoilt picture of traditional Turkish architecture in situ.

Europe Inexpensive Auto Rentals

24 Heures du le Mans, 1961


24 Heures du le Mans, 1961 Art Print
Beligond, Michel
Buy at AllPosters.com


By all rights, the subject of auto rentals has no place here. For, unless you're a party of three or more persons who can split costs, traveling by car is not the cheapest way to travel through Europe. Proof for that statement? Assume that you've bought a round-trip air ticket to Amsterdam. You can extend that ticket to Rome and thereby obtain extra-city stopover privileges in such widely-scattered spots as London, Brussels, Paris, Zurich, Geneva, Nice, Rome, Milan, Frankfurt, Hanover and Bremen.

Furthermore, car travel will necessarily limit the number and variety of your stops in Europe. For, while distances on a European map may seem short, they are deceptively short. Excepting only a few major highways in France and Germany, the normal European road will not permit you to travel as fast as you might in the United States. And if you're to cross mountains on your ride, you'll crawl. The route from Munich to Venice may seem like a short one-but it's over the Alps!

Finally, to complete this recital of horrors, European auto rental agencies are not normally geared to permit the free exchange of cars from city to city. In the United States, a tourist may drive a rented car from New York to Chicago, for example, and then leave the car with the agency at Chicago, where it'll be rented to someone else. Under the European system, you would, in contrast, have to pay a driver to pick up your car in Chicago and drive it back to New York. Though there are some exceptions to this role, normally you must add a stiff pick-up charge to the cost of renting a European car.

But having painted the foregoing gloomy picture, and having conceded all the drawbacks, I can now with good conscience assert the following stubborn proposition: no one has seen Europe who has not traveled in it by car. The life of the continent from an auto window is a closely-felt, personal experience. It should be tried:
not, perhaps, on a first trıp to Europe, when you'll want to see a great many cities, in a number of countries-but ultimately, when you 're content to examine at leisure a particular country or area through which you've earlier passed. How can that be done at the least cost? There are a number of alternatives.

THE PRADO: Surely, this is the greatest museum in the world. It is smaller and better arranged than the Louvre; it is far more selective and would never think of accepting the trivia (murals by David) with which the Louvre fills its halls; and it has a greater concentration of masterpieces than even the Uffizzi in Florence-works by El Greco, Goya, Velazquez, Titian, Tintoretto, Rubens, Van Dyck, Murillo, Ribera, Brueghel-you will reel from the impact of this great art collected in one spot. High spot of the museum, in my poor opinion, is the room of sketches by Goya on the 1st floor, which make fierce, passionate commentaries on the themes of war, death, poverty, tyranny. The Valezquez room is another indispensable stop.

.. . For lunchtime visitors, the Prado maintains a courtyard buffet restaurant next to its room of Brueghels, with sandwiches, and a particularly-popular meal: soup, a beefsteak with fried egg and mushrooms, and dessert. . . . Schedule the Prado for the beginning of your Madrid stay; you'll want to shoot yourself if you find only a few hours available for this profound experience at the end of your visit.
