In view of the fact that we have had two trips to Europe, some of the travelers have felt that other objectives and destinations should be con- sidered. While no overseas flight is cur- rently being planned for the year 1966, we are nevertheless making plans for 1967 ard, indeed, a good deal of this work will be undertaken within the next few months. Where shall we go in 1967? That is the question.

The Travel Com- mittee has received a proposal from Cana- dian Pacific Airlines, 1221 Fourth Avenue, Seattle, based on a minimum group of 10 passengers: Vancouver-Montreal and re- turn, $201.80.

We must all leave to- gether but can come back individually when we please. All members who are interested in this trip must call Canadian Pacific Air- lines, MAin 2-6567 and identify themselves as being members of our Bar Association interested in traveling to the Montreal con- vention. Your names will then be put on the August 6th flight reservations list. 50 seats have been blocked out on the jet air- craft for this purpose. The deal provides that payment for this transportation must be made to our Bar Association office even though your reservations will be made through the office of the carrier. For those who would like to extend their travels beyond the Montreal Convention, the Committee has in mind a couple of astounding goodies, of which more-laterl Respectfully submitted for THE TRAVEL COMMITTEE JouiN D.

SEATTLE BAR OFFERS PUBLIC RELATIONS FILMS Recently the Seattle-King County Bar Association purchased three sound film strips portraying results and conclusions from the Missouri Bar- Prentice-Hall Sur- vey on the lawyer image and its economic overtones.

Noe, Chairman of the Public Relations Commit- tee, 1440 Washington Building, Seattle, Washington 98101, or the Washington State Bar Association office.
