He is one of the fortunate rew who has both the time and means to indulge this delightful way of growing old, although it is hard to associate the word "old""" with the young-looking "former New York Fire Chief, "
Mr. Croker told San Fran- cisco reporters that he is out to beat the record of the late Mr. Julius Brittlebank, who was on his nineteenth con- secutive ntinual President Line" cruise when he passed away at his hotel in Honolulu.
LIVED 19 YEARS MORE - Twenty years prior to his death, three different doctors told. Mr. Brittlebank he had less than six months to live. Mr. Brittlebank, then in his sixties. ́figuratively thumbed his nose at his doctors and booked himself 1 world cruise. He lived nineteen years after that four months out of each devoted to world travel.
Mr. Groker belleves he has an edge on Mr. Brittlebank, inas- much as he started his series of cruises in top physical condition. LIKES CHINA
Of all the countries visited, Mr. Craker likes China best. "An Occidental could spend an entire time touring. China without really seeing or knowing the country," he jald. "China is fascinating beyond words."
