is one cause OF much outdoor living.
There are practically $40 days of
the year that one can remain olt-

Rainfall in this section averages
about inches for the month. Waters
from Tennessee. Mississippi River,
and sections from the middle west
play an important part in the water
history of this section. 1t has been
known in the past that these waters
have caused local water bodies to
flow over their marks,--far back i'll
the past-but the like is not expected
again, as government work on such
rivers has eliminated the element of
risk from this quarter.
Morgan City as an all year resi-
dence cannot be beaten. The climate
| is really deserving of the semi-trop-
ical character of description, and the
game that is hunted here bespeaks of
the mildness of the winter months.

As a resort for the severe cold
