Mexico's history contribute the more
spectacular phase to the programs and
round out graphic portrayal OF the
Mexico that lies ahead of the average
tourist on his repeat" trips
The programs are presented at the
National University in Mexico City.
A CCORDING to the Institute Of
~~ Foreign Travel, tourists report
that Europe enjoys itself most ex-
travagantly after Americas Labor
Day has passed, and September itself
is one of the jolliest of months abroad.
The calendar Of outstanding events
for September follows:
FROM far off China has come
plea, polite but pointed and in
sistant, to the Massachusetts, Develop
ment Commission for the shedding
of uppers on beaches of the Bay State,
as II there were State law decreeing
the arrest Of trunks-only males.
The latter from Tsingtao, written
on typewriter and emphasizing its
points with red letters. wonders If
puritanical codes still govern this bit
of New England, asking point blank:
rs Massachusetts, Prudish and Old
Fashioned?"
I'VE were thinking" the communi-
cation says, ''of spending part of our
long summer holiday in Massachusetts
this summer but our two sons have
lost interest after seeing your beach
advertising. They infer that young
men are liable to be arrested II they
wear modern bathing trunks without
uppers. Beach life will not be attrac-
tive If prudery prevents getting the
benef1t OF the sun. Our sons point
out that in other parts Of the United
States, even at fashionable beaches like
Newport. r. I. and Bar Harbor, Me,
very near your State. young men who
wish to wear modern bathing trunks
without uppers are very welcome
They will probable continue to wish
to 60 to more courteous and modern
parts of the United States unless
you change your advertising to show
that Massachusetts, is not far behind
the modern world in regard to young
mems beach attire"
The Massachusetts, commission would
like to refute the charge directly, but
it cannot; the letter was anonymous
But If 1t could answer. the chief re-
buttal would be that there are plenty
of beaches on the Bay State coast
where uppers are not required.
