words that conjure up in our minds
all the pleasures of travel and change,
all the excitements of new places and
strange faces, and all the rest and re-
Taxation that come from the tempo
rary release from the drudgery and
cares that are the lot of all of us in
one way or another.
However, with the reduced budget
this year, many Garrett countians are
fearing they will have to forego the
pleasures of vacation to distant and
noted points. With such the case
there is still plenty of opportunity
for vacation, spent right here in our
own county, with new places to visit,
new roads to travel, and new faces to
see.
Very few citizens of the county have
travelled over every section of this
territory and short trips over CARROTS
four hundred miles of roads would
afford an agreeable substitute for a
vacation in other chimes.
For those who love the water, there
is Deep Greek Lake, with its boating,
fishing and swimming, Swallow Falls
and the Youghiogheny River, and nu-
merous small streams.
For those who love mountain seem
cry, there are trips along good dirt
roads that take one to nature in her
widest state, and for those who love
nature and who have no love for dirt
roads there are still miles of improved
highways that will carry one to the
very door of their hearts desire.
Vacationing need not be done at
one time. Each weekend or holiday
offers an opportunity to see and visit
some new place in the county.
