ORLANDO. Fla. Dec. l1.-A differ
ent part Of Florida-the orange
land spreading across the States mid
section-will unfold its beauty this
year before more visitors than during
any previous winter.
Adding to such natural attractions
as fine freshwater bass fishing and ex-
cellent hunting, this newest OF Flori-
da Fairgrounds has arranged sports
and social program which will keep
guests active from December through

OF the 1.500 lakes in Orange Coun-
ty. Lake Conway Just south OF this

Greyhound Lines planned no extra

operate extra sections on existing

IT WAS anticipated that Florida soon
will be the address Of more than
100000 Northerners in An annual

sporty runs. Mount Hood, SO miles
from Portland, Greg, likewise attracts
its quotas, and from a 2-mile-high
elevation, at Crater Rock, q racing
course miles long speeds the skiers
down the sharp declivities to Timber
line Lodge, at the 6,O00-foot eleva-
ton, and thence to the valleys at the
base of the mountain. An interna-
tional midsummer ski tournament Is
held here in June of each year.
There is the Yosemite, with its
"Up-ski" to carry the sportsmen up
to the Badger Pass Ski House, its
instructors from the Tyrolean Alps,
Its mile-a-minute toboggan slide, skat-
ing Kinks. dog sledees with teams of
huskles to haul visitors who would
rather ride than ski, and other con-
comitants of outdoor sports. Yet with
| the warm winter sun which prevails,
the skiers often are stripped to the
waist and acquire a sunburn while
| speeding down mountain passes at
the speed of streamliners such as the
City OF San Francisco, on which they
may have reached the West.
THROUGH the Cascades and the
Sierra Nevada Ranges, the winter
sports are pursued by thousands. In
the Yosemite National Park, with
hotels open during the winter, a pro-
gram has been announced, with spe-
cial events commencing December IS
| and continuing through April, with
ice-skating shows, ski races, ice
| hockey, costume skating carnivals,
novice ski races and the Pacific Coast
Intercollegiate Ski Meet in February
featuring slalom and downhill events
The Yosemite is reached by overnight
Southern Pacific trains from San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
| Elsewhere the lure OF the outdoor
winter sports attracts growing group
of thrill-seekers, to whom the swirl
| Of skis racing downhill is q sweeter
music even than that of palm trees on
coral key and who have no fear
of the rigorous life Of the week end
skier. In Canada, the Canadian Ma
tionals and Canadian Pacific roads
carry their Sunday throngs to the
nearby ski-runs; the Union Pacific
Railroad now has the famous Sun
Valley winter resort in Idaho to catch
such sportsmen, and from st. Paul
Minneapolis the Great Northern han

group may be awarded the crown for

least.
