DIXON Associated Press Correspondent IOURNEMOUTH, Eng.-Here is a soldiers' Utopia where GI's live in $10 a day luxury hotels for 20 cents a night. They play and swim on seven miles of sandy English Channel beach, stay out all night if they wish and sleep as late as they like. Waffle break- fasts are served until 11 a.m. Military police are scarce and the only rules are: "Remember, you are a visitor-- and a gentleman." Playgrnund for GI's Since V-E Day this famous English Riviera resort city of 116,000 on the southeast coast has become a play- ground for American troops waiting for transportation bacl to the United States and a leave center for those still on duty in England, France and Germany. Many of the guests are liberated prisoners of war who are regaining weight and are getting a chance to play on Army time before returning home. Red Cross Open With the cooperation and backing of the Army, the American Red Cross has taken over 12 of the largest. most luxurious hotels on the high, picturesque cliffs overlooking the sea. They are run as private clubs for all ranks but the only thing mili- tary about the place is the uniforms. It is the closest thing to civilian life that it is possible to find in the Army. That is what the soldiers like about it, says Pvt. James Gilmour, (506 North Fairhill Street) Philadel- phia, Pa., airborne infantryman who landed in Normandy on D-Day. Army Forgotten "It is a beautiful place and a good spot to come to forget about the Army," adds Sgt. Sylvester Scrocco who was wounded at Aachen. Sgt. Jack Massena, North Tarrytown, N.Y., winner of the silver star and wounded five times, readily agrees. When asked what he likes about the resort, Pvt. Leonard . Szczesny, Natrona Heights, Pa., replies quickly, "the beach and the girls." Bournemouth is supposed to have more beautiful women per capita than any other city in England. There are no non-fraternization rules but there is a lot of competi- tioe between the American and Ca- nadian soldiers as Bournemouth has long been a big Royal Canadian Air Force base. Entertainment Supplied Besides swimming, the entertain- ment includes yachting, tennis, golf, free movies, horseback riding, steam- er excursions to the Isle of Wight and visits to many historic places includ- ing Hurst castle built by Henry VIII. have special permission to stay ope Many swank restaurants and dance until midnight.
