...Botel cannot compete with the holiday luxury of La Meridiana, three miles from Cortina d'Ampezzo, in the Italian Alps. There, 50 young guests are tended by a domestic staff of 20, sleep on Beautyrest mattresses, may opt for breakfast in bed, and at lunch and supper eat like the aristocrats many of them are.

I have more time to play and lots of snow to ski in during the winter, which even Daddy can't find...
...than last year because of the success of its recently introduced "850" model, which is roomier, racier and more luxurious than the standard small Fiat; sales have reached 1,000 a day.

CHUCK FERRIES. 23. of Houghton. Mich., was the talk of Europe last year: he scored successive slalom victories at Austria's Kitzbuhel and Italy's Cortina, handily beating Europe's top skiers. Though not at his best at Sun Valley and Mount Alyeska (two fourths in the downhill). Ferries is a daredevil racer who has developed control to match his speed.
