Season Quot: Air lines, analyzing it in practical terms of full fare and thrift fare for transatlantic flights, consider that the seven months from April 1 to October 31 are "on season quot" months in their entirety, in both directions. The other five months, November through March 31, constitute the off season quot or thrift season quot. To benefit by the big reduction in thrift-season quot fares you must make both flights during that fall-winter period, but the saving is very impressive, averaging 10 to 15 per cent. This season quotal saving operates for both first class and tourist class, or combinations of the two. Going all the way by tourist class—Pan American's Rainbow tourist service was extended in the spring of 1954 around the world—as against going all the way by first class, can save you almost another 30 per cent. Assembling these possible savings, we find that it costs a good 40 per cent less to go
all the way by tourist class off season quot than it does to go all the way by first class on season quot. A specific example, New York to London and back, as of today's tariffs, reveals that the lowest fare, as above, would cost you $425, whereas the highest would cost you $711. Try that on your arithmetic!
Savanna grass-ind develops in regions of high temperature that ave a distinct wet and dry season quot. Growth is ipid in the wet season quot, but the plants become ry and low in quality in the dry season quot. Widely >aced drought-resistant trees may occur in some
•eas such as in the savanna parklands of Africa id Australia. Savannas are subject to flooding i the wet season quot and to extensive burning in le dry season quot. These grasslands are heavily•azed by large numbers of cattle. Major prob-ms are poor grass quality in the dry season quot, irasites, and disease. The tsetse fly is a major•oblem in Africa. There are no true savannas North America.
Christmas to Easter is the high season quot in Sicily, Cyprus, the Greek isles such as Crete and Rhodes, Majorca, Madeira, the Canaries. Here you may savor high-season quot pleasures at low-season quot transportation costs. Easter, by the way, is a special season quot of life in Seville and other Spanish cities and on the French Riviera. These goals of travel are crowded then and the Riviera is crowded also in late summer and early fall.
