Comito said he sparked considerable interest in the fares Wednesday among his co-workers. "It's spreading around my office like wildfire," he said. Elsewhere in the state, business was not yet brisk.

Sev eral agents, however, said they expect sales to pick up considerably when advertising for the fares increases By CYNTHIA HUBERT IMMm- SMlf WrtMr The morning sun warmed Gerald Smith's face for the first time in nearly three months Wednesday, and the later this week.

By Wednesday, International Tours of Des Moines had received several calls on the special fares announced earlier in the week by Continental, TWA, Braniff and United airlines, agent Deb Cashman said. The special rates will be available for children making round trips with adults who pay regular ticket prices, a deal West Des Moines resident Brian Comito finds "very difficult to pass up." Comito, who works in Deere marketing department, had been planning to drive to South Dakota with his wife and children for vacation this summer. With the announcement of the fares, however, those plans have been all but scrapped, and the family now has its sights set on a trip to San Diego. "Mount Rushmore will always be there, but these kinds of air fares won't be," Comito said. Comito said his family might have to drive as far as Kansas City to get a flight to San Diego, but said it would be worth it for the considerable savings.

He and his wife probably will pay $198 each for their round-trip tickets to Sau Diego, he said, and will get the $1 fares for his 9-year old daughter and 7-year-old son.
