ENJOYMENT At
MEDINA LAKE
Like Resort So Well That
Other Journeys Are
Planned.
I'm SPRING ATTIRE
Mountain Laurel in Full
Bloom on Cliffs Over
locking Lake.

Medina Lake, attired in advance
spring clothes of pastel shades of
lavender and pink laurel, so charmed
the party of tourists on their expedi-
ton there that another trip is being
planned during the week. Several
winter visitors remarked that this
trip was scheduled to be the begin
ming of a series of weekly outings,
as spring on the lake is becoming an
attraction that cannot be scOrned and
it looks as though Medina Lake pic
mics were going to become an lnstitu-
ton. In contrast to the 80 or GO
people making the first trip on We'd
nesday of the last week, several hun
dret. have asked for reservations iof
the next outing.
Mountain laurel is in full bloom
on the hills and cliffs overlooking Ne
dina. according TO those who made
the trip. apd there is a tumble Of
gay colors that announce the arrival
OF spring. Tea houses served special
luncheon for the visitors. A visit
was made during the afternoon 10
the fish haicheries.
The Bunch" Is Friendly.
Few tourists are going home, ac-
cording 10 Mrs. II. c. Burkhaltef,
hostess of the Tourist House, and the
ajority are planning 10 remain until
after the Fiesta de San Jacinto. i'll
April. Since the Chamber of Com
merce installed the weather bureaus
reports on lis -weather board many
who did not realize the difference
in San AntOnio's temperature and
that of their home town, have de-
cided to stay in the sunshine until
spring has fully arrived back home.
1t is sometimes difficult to unite
defined communities into the har-
mOny and accord that makes them all
like one family, but San Antonio s
winter guests this year seem to rad
late the friendly spirit that makes
all men brothers. The hundred odd
people that gather each day at the
card and domino tables of the Tourist
House call themselves "thc bunch.
and when one of the crowd must go
home. the parting is indicative of a
return to the friendly walls of the
| Tourist House next year. Several
| who have gone home have written
| their friends here that they were
never as lonesome in their lives ms
they are since they left the con
genial atmosphere that prevails
among "the bunch in San Antonio.
