Manhattan to Staten Island Ferry still only a five cent ride.
The old cliche about needing
a vacation in order to rest up
from your vacation isn't a
joke any more.
Thousands of people are
wondering what ever happen
ed to the old fashioned vaca
tion that used to leave them
rested throughout the year.
To many families, the an
swer is to take frequent,
shorter holidays, such as the
“Autumn Weekenders” offered
by Eastern Airlines, and space
them throughout the year. Low
off-season fares this fall make
these mini-holidays particular
ly attractive.
Eastern has found that a
long weekend in such top va
cation areas as New York,
Miami, San Juan, or Washing
ton D. C. is an excellent way
to dispel the pressures of an
increasingly complex business
and social world.
Ideal Weather -
In New York City, for ex
ample, the atiractions are so
numerous that even permanent
residents often haven’t seen
everything. And autumn is the
nicest time of year to visit
New York.
Theatre lovers can have
Eastern arrange a four day
stay, which will include tickets
to a musical, a comedy, and
H. G. Samples
Dies September 11
- After Long Illness
Funeral services for Howell
Gordon Samples, 80, of Scot
land, who died Friday, Sep
rember 11, at Mcßae Manor
Nursing Home, following a
| long illness, were held Sunday
afternoon at 3 o’clock from the
Mcaße Methodist Church with
|.-the . paster, the Rev. J. W
Herndon, officiating.
Burial was in the Scotland
Cemetery with Harris and
Smith Funeral Home in
charge of arrangements.
‘ Mr. Samples was born on
| October 9, 1890. He was mar
{ ried to the late Alice Brown
| and was a member of the Mec
| Rae Methodist Church.
Survivors irclude one daugh

a drama, in addition to an
after theatre supper at the
iamous Mamma Leone’s res
taurant, a yacht cruise around
Manhattan Island, and a guid
ed tour of Lincoln Center for
the Performing Arts. All this,
plus a superior room for three
nights at one of Manhattan's
leading hotels, costs $86.00
per person, on double occu
pancy.
Stimulating Pace
Southerners generally - find
New York’s stimulating pace
very refreshing, especially if
they take in some of the sights
like the United Nations, Rock
efeller Center, the famed St.
Patrick’'s Cathedral, Wall
Street, Greenwich Village and
glamorous Fifth Avenue, with
its world famous shopping.
The best bargain in town,
though, is the ferry boat ride
from lower Manhattan to Sta
ten Island. This leisurely half
hour ride gives passengers an
unequalled, breathtaking view
of New York's famous sky
line. Untouched by inflation,
the price of this memorable
ride is still only five eents.
For easy traveling to New
York, see your local travel
agent or any Eastern Airlines
ticket agent.

Letter To The Editor
Editor, The Wheeler County
Eagle:
The Alamo office of the Little
. Ocmulgee EM.C. and particu
larly Manager Wade Hartley,
deserve the appreciation of
tennis enthusiasts in the Tel
fair-Wheeler area for help re
ceived in lighting the Little
Ocmulgee State Park’s tennis
courts.
Lighting equipment for the
project has arrived and will be
installed in the near future.
Without the cooperation of
| Little Ocmulgee E.M.C. and
other public-spirited organiza
tions many such projects would
never be realized in Georgia's
rural areas.
