...airlines this year will carry at least 21 times that many passengers, but the transatlantic ship lines have improved their own position by concentrating on what the speedy jets cannot offer. Says Sir John Brocklebank, chairman of Britain's Cunard Steamship Co.: "With jet travel, there is no need for an Atlantic ferry."

Britain's Holiday Camper Billy Butlin offered $2,800,000 to take her to Penzance, Land's End, Torquay-somewhere on the south coast of England.

For Episcopalians who wondered if Mr. Brocklebank would dabble in heterodox ritual, as did voluble, mystical Dr. Guthrie, the new rector's pre-installation statements were tactfully soothing.
