Dry Season: Savanna grass-ind develops in regions of high temperature that ave a distinct wet and dry season. Growth is ipid in the wet season, but the plants become ry and low in quality in the dry season. 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 and to extensive burning in le dry season. These grasslands are heavily•azed by large numbers of cattle. Major prob-ms are poor grass quality in the dry season, 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 in Sicily, Cyprus, the Greek isles such as Crete and Rhodes, Majorca, Madeira, the Canaries. Here you may savor high-season pleasures at low-season transportation costs. Easter, by the way, is a special season 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.See Also High Season In Sicily:Roger in 1063 defeated the Saracens a: Ceramium, and was thereupon confirmed by fe pope in all his conquests in Sicily. He t'-• title of Count of Sicily, and in spite of disputes between the brothers, the o: subjugation of Sicily was the result o: joint efforts.

Belgium makes it easy for you to choose your hotels in whatever price bracket you desire. The Tourist Department publishes a complete hotel annual, meticulously arranged to show the basic facts on about 2000 hotels and family-type pensions. Every establishment of this multitude operates directly under government statutes and supervision and the man¬agement may not charge more than its published tariffs. One should under¬stand, however, that there is a high season in Sicily season and an off season, the high season in Sicily season consisting of the months of July and August and also Easter and Whitsuntide. Inclusive pension charges (room and all meals) are figured on the basis of a minimum stay of three days, but proprietors hungry for business in the off season will sometimes grant them for one or two days.
On The Other Hand See One Season:RASPBERRY, raz'ber-i, any of a number of species of the genus Rubus, the fruits of which separate freely from the receptacle when ripe. The plants are perennial, but they have a characteristic biennial growth habit. New shoots arise from belowground parts in one season, overwinter, fruit in the following season, and then die. Shoots newly arising during the spring of the fruiting season bear the next season's crop. The canes are generally erect and prickly. The fruits are not true berries but aggregates composed of a number of drupelets.
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" months in their entirety, in both directions. The other five months, November through March 31, constitute the off season or thrift season. To benefit by the big reduction in thrift-season fares you must make both flights during that fall-winter period, but the saving is very impressive, averaging 10 to 15 per cent. This seasonal 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 than it does to go all the way by first class on season. 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 arith¬metic!
