On a typical recent day, the travel division received requests for information from Gold Coast, Rhodesia & Nyassaland in Africa, Spain, Canada, two from the PhiHipine Islands and three from Great Britain, plus the usual flood of domestic mail . . .The latter included one from Chicago addressed to Salmon, Oregon . . .
