No Singing On Venice Canals
Venice report on a moonlit gondola ride where only Stardust and One OClock Jump drifted through the canals. Gondolier Virgilio Scarpa laments a wartime drop in business from 600 licensed gondoliers to 460 as locals enlist or leave the trade. Americans and Allied families bring some spending, but prospects remain uncertain for next year. Gondolas, four feet wide and 36 feet long, are crafted by a single Venetian firm. Virgilio is third generation in the trade.
