    If ?╟úCinerama Holiday?╟Ñ is a tribute to the joys of vaeationi^o the holiday spirit^it offers no greater revelation than the picture of the fun people have in Switzerland. From the moment we step into the luxurious Swissair plane with its club-like atmosphere of friendly companionship, one experience after another follows to illustrate the Swiss idea of enjoying oneself . In the land of the Alps, everything is done in neighborly groups. Skiers come from all over the world. It is an international companionship. They may have been strangers yesterday, but today, as they ski down through the high snow meadows or tear through space on the St. Moritz bob-sled run, they are friends, and as friends, they enjoy doing things together and learning things to the accompaniment of laughter and the trouble that everyone shares. win this warm camaraderie, there is a special kind of pleasure in the gatherings that follow a day of skiing and skating. Dozens of tired athlete^leather informally ftr the- mountain inne?╟÷of which Jakob Kessler?╟╓s restaurant in Wolfgang is one, and La Ferme is another* At La Ferme, the diners not only listen to the yodelling but join in its responses and refrains. Everything, including yodelling, is a participating, not a spectator, sport in Switzerland. The singing is an accompaniment for the serving of Swiss cheese fondue, which is another of the pleasures of the country that is for the whole party. Made in an earthenware pot at the table, every member of the group;?╟údunks?╟Ñ his bread crust into the savory molten cheese. Whether the cheese fondue increases his thirst for the dry white wine of the countryside with which it is served, which in turn increases the resonance of one?╟╓s yodelling, or the reverse, has never been explained satisfactorily or conclusively. Like everything else; in Switzerland, it?╟╓s fun together. S\N?╜S H WBBBa |BBH P'ale?╟╓ ?╟≤ I swedd*4- I UBB| I IH \ mBmm ?√ß?√ß?√ß?√ß?√ß BSIMM pPpH CINERAMA HOLIDAY is a PARTY!
