Catskills for the Fourth of July holi-
days. and the result was one of the
busiest holidays the resorts through
out the land of Rip Van Wrinkle ever
experienced. While the more accessi-
BILE resorts had the largest crowds,
even the smallest hanlets in the region
entertained many who had taken ad-
vantage of the holidays to get their
families settled in the country for q
vacation.
y While light showers and overcast
skies made the holiday gloomy, they
did not affect the enjoyment Of out of
door activities, and automobile parties,
golf tournaments and tennis matches
as We'll as dances and card parties
gave a program that seemed to satisfy
the largest crowds that have ever
been cared for on the national holiday.
