On March 23, 1967, the Albanian authorities withdrew visas already issued to Americans who wanted to visit Albania and informed other Americans planning to apply for visas that such visas would not be issued.

A few days ago Miss West Coast Airlines couldnt have made such a trip on regional routes not until North Central Airlines installed its first DC-fanjet on its Chicago to Detroit run at the beginning of 9 November. But change has come swiftly reto the countrys even-dozewhen gional carriers; nowadays, n the regionals talk about the industrywide Discover America program, or the U.S. Travel Services Visit U.S.A. invitation to foreign visitors, they are talking about travel on fast, roomy jets that most of them didnt own a year or so ago.

PLASTIC WOOD' Th Genuine - floewt No Substitute Government to Sell Houses in Page Houses in Page, Arizona, that were built for use by Government employees have been put up for public sale, according to David L. Crandall, Regional Director of the Bureau of Reclamation. In a reminder to the public, Mr. Crandall said that the applications for purchase must be received on or before December 13, 1967. Altogether 198 houses will be sold. The 149 tenants, employees now residing in the houses, have first priority for purchase of their houses. The remaining houses are unoccupied and priorities for their purchase will be determined by a public drawing on December 15. Any occupied house not purchased by its tenant at that time will be put on a list for public drawing. The Federal Housing Administration appraisal prices for the houses and lots range from $10,-45- 0 to $13,000. The town of Page was created in the northern Arizona desert in the 1950s specifically to serve the needs of Federal and contractor employees during the building of Glen Canyon Dam. Now that the dam is substantially completed the town of Page serves as the major access point to the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and to spectacular Lake Powell. Conveyance to the Government-owne- d houses to private hands will be one step in the process of transforming the status of Page from a Government construction camp to a town incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona. Sale announcements, a list of houses available for sale, purchase applications, and other pertinent information may be obtained by mail from the Office of the City Administrator, Page, Arizona; Bureau of Reclamation, Glen Canyon Field Division, Page, Arizona 86040; or from the Regional Director, Bureau of Reclamation, P.O.
