POPULARITY

That the week END camping
exodus is growing In popularity
these bafmy spring days is evil
denced by short trips to the
mountains. beaches and country
side where tented cities spring UP
Saturday afternoons and as
quickly disappear Sunday nights.
The lure of the open. with its
dash of adventure and romance
Is too strong for the average city
dweller to resist, so with their
cars laden down with camping
equipment they start cut for two
full days of pleasure among the
primitive places.
Away from business cares and
worries they spend their holidays
eating and sleeping out in tie
open and living next to the very
heart of old Mother Nature.
With the complete and up-to-
date camping equipment sup
piled at the Western Auto Com
pany's stores, there is none of
the bother and trouble expert
enced in the old days when it
took weeks to get together the
equipment necessary to spend a
few days in the open and then
without the perfect comfort the
modern equipment affords.

one or two games don't make a sea-

no sign that the manager can can

new team. Those loyal" fans who
say they won't ever go near the ball
park again after the Indians play a
poor game arc usually the first bugs
TO be in line for the ticket window
