Ottawa Student Faces Wage Freeze Abroad During Cruise
Bruce Reynolds son of Mr and Mrs John Reynolds of 326 S Maple Ottawa was traveling with a 26 member American Institute of Foreign Studies team when the Nixon wage price freeze hit. In Athens he found dollars worth a fraction of their value and bank lines up to two hours long. Reynolds, an Emporia State junior majoring in European History, noted travelers checks were devalued and Greek money was hard to use as they awaited funds. He plans to return to Europe next year to continue studying United States history in the heart of Europe.
