hike between chalets and tent
camps. Others prefer to do the
park on horseback.
Glacier Park is ideally suited for
the dyed-in-the-wool camper. There
are plenty of lakes and streams
to provide campsites with clear
water and good fishing. The
camper has to go but a few miles
into this unspoiled wilderness to
be as remote from civilization and

were on another continent.
"TENDERFOOT"
There is no such thing as a
"tenderfoot" in Glacier Park.
Camping experience is not neces-
sary, nor is a lack of it met with
scorn. With suitable clothes, gen
orally old and rough, and with
heavy, comfortable shoes, the first
time visitor soon feels as much at
home in the Park as the friendly
wild animals he is likely to meet.

VACATION SPOTS.
Nine Provinces Boast
Many Features

The topography of Canada /!
such that one may find an en-
trancing vacation in any one Of
its nine provinces. In the eastern
part of the Dominion lies the Ap
palachian or Acadian region
which includes the provinces OF
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick
Prince Edward Island and south.
eastern Quebec. It is essentially
maritime, almost all the towns
and cities having grown up on
excellent harbors which are nu.
merous along the greatly indented
coast.
Nova Scotia is the most mari.
time of all and, as its name Sug,
eests, it is comparable to Scot
land in many ways, including its
geological and physical features.
Much of its surface is rugged and
billy. but there are many smiling
valleys which contrast with the
rough hills on each side and
among these is the beautiful
Annapolis.
BEAUTY EVERYWHERE
There is beauty to be seen al.
most anywhere in this delightful
province which is circled and
crossed by railway lines and
motor highways. There is swim.
ming at sandy, salt water
beaches; golf on excellent
courses; tennis on smooth clay
courts; interesting hiking along
the seashore or inland to crystal
lakes, and other summertime ad-
ventures. There is also fishing
for speckled trout and salmon, or,
If salt water appeals more
strongly, there are pollock, cod,
paddock and halibut awaiting.
and even the great tuna turks off
shore.
Along the Atlantic coast from
Cape CanSo to Shag Harbor there
are charming places to visit. Hall
fax, the capital city, claims first
attention, then there is a long list
of harbors and bays to choose
from; Chester, St. Margaret's,
Malone, Lunenburg. Liverpool,
Chatham, and a host of other
spots which paradoXically makes
one choice easy and at the same
time difficult. On the southern
coast are the PubnicoS and Var
mouth. The Fundy shore offers
additional treats at st. Mary's
Bay, Digby, Grand Pre- and other
equally interesting spots.
GARDEN PROVINCE
Literally speaking, one cannot
rise to great heights when vaca-
tioning in Prince Edward Island,
as it is a rolling lowland, the eleva-
ton exceeding nowhere over 500
feet above sea level. A vacation
in this province, however. has
many highlights that recommend
it to those who enjoy a pleasingly
pastoral life. The island is often
spoken of as the Garden Province
Of the Dominion, and many think
it more like an English shire
than a Canadian province. Despite
the lack of great elevation, the

decomposition between clubs in
the nations first fishing league
operating on a regular schedule
was under way here today as
teams representing seven civic
CLUB organizations invaded the
Gulf of Mexico in quest Of silver
scaled tarpon, greatest of all game

Formed as a corollary of the

league will engage in round robin
competition through July 81 with
a special trophy put up by Earl
Gresh, former national cupboard
motorboat racing champion, to
be awarded to the team landing
the most tarpon.
CATCHES ELIGIBLE
Catches also will be eligible for

In Glacier National Park, more
than 900 miles of foot and horse
back trails connect luxurious
hotels, picturesque chalets and
comfortable tent camps. But they
also lead into wild sections where

your own tent, gathering your own
firewood to cook your own meals
and sleeping between the blankets
you've brought with you. All equip
ment may be bought or rented in
the park, or you can bring your
own.
VARIETY OF FUN
Probably the reason Glacier
Park attracts so many people is
because it offers such a wide va
riety of ways to do as you please.
For those who simply want to rest
and relax, there's the comfort and
hospitality of modern hotels. Some

Theta AlphaChit to
Give Dance to Aid
Lunch Fund
BY MARY PADGETT

Members of Theta Alpha Chi
National Sorority are going to
dance that needy school chill
dren may eat!
For the benefit of the school
lunch fund, the sorority will
hold the dance on Saturday
night, April %, at the Ward
man Park Hotel.
There are eight chapters of
Theta Alpha Chi in the District
Of Columbia, and it is the first
time in the thirty-odd years that
the sorority has been formed
that all the chapters will pool
their forces TO" a charity dance.
Each chapter has its own pr1-
vate charity functions and this
dance will not interfere with the
regular charitable practices Of
the chapters, but will be an ad-
ditional goodwill obligation that
each girl will assume.
Miss Pauleen Miller, grand
regent of all the chapters, is
chairman of arrangements, as
sisted by Mrs. Helen Rossiter
and Miss Jane Wiedell, of the
social committee.
Entire proceeds will go to the
hotrlunch fund. In announcing
the dance, the group asks pub
lie support to make it as great
Q success as possible.
