IBIZA .f THE BALEARIC ISLANDS At first glance, one would swear that these warm and picturesque Spanish islands were suffering from a second Viking invasion, for an astonishingly high percentage ofthe population is blonde, blue eyed, and very much Scandinavian. Whether it be tax evasion or a love of the sun that brings them here, there can be little complaint from our quarter. Nordic hospitality is only one facet of the good life here. Clear waters, colorful reefs, and White sandy beaches all beckon the skindiver to their aquatic realm. Native pearls are among the best in the world. The restaurants are full of culinary delights. And best of all, the dollar is still worth something. Someone forgot to tell the natives that prices are rising elsewhere in the world, and we aren't about to let the cat out of the bag.

2 af' CANNES Unfortunately for the whitehat, the word got out long ago about the tourist dollar on the Riviera. With a pleasant smile, and a cheerful 'Bon Jour,' a greenback just might buy youacup of coffee. Necessity is the mother of in- vention, and our stalwarts are no exception. From St. Tropez to Monte Carlo we spread good cheer, and somehow managed to do it on a whistle and a song. One thing was evident to all hands. DeGaulle may want us out of France but the people don't. They just couldn't have been nicer.
