"May Is the month of garden parties and receptions, the last fling, as it were, of the social world, before folk begins to move out of town for the summer months. There has been a lifting of some currency restrictions for local sub-Jects wanting to go abroad for the summer. For the last few years, the amount of money they were allowed to take out of the country was so limited that It restricted the number who went abroad, but indications are that this summer there will be a considerable exodus. Syria and Lebanon complained bitterly last summer at the very limited number of visitors they had at their summer resorts. The summer exodus from Egypt has always been predominantly to the north, but we have heard quite a number of folk speaking of flying south to Uganda, Rhodesia, Tanganyika or Eritrea, for their summer vacation. It seems that there are now places there with quite good accommodation for visitors which are making a bid for the summer vacation trade.
