Christmas Trips
To Touch Ports
Of West Indies

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Christmas
in Holland, Italy, Norway or Sweden
is lots of fun, but this year, accord
ing to the Institute of Foreign
Travel, hundreds of seamen, officers
and crew, of these four foreign neu-
trail nations will give up the pleasure

New York for Havana, Port-au-
Prince, Cristobal, Ciudad Trujillo,
Curacao, Puerto Cabello and San
Bias Bay, some to one, and some to
others. and will continue all winter
to follow similar schedules. Great
liners that normally would travel
east across the winter Atlantic will
head south for the sunny, palm
fringed shores and gay pleasure
cities of warmer climes.
This change of scene for Christ
mas. sunshine for snow, is not only
what reconciles the seamen to
Christmas away from home, but it
explains why many hundreds of
Americans are now booking their
cabins for the cruises. A glance at
the shipboard calendars, to see which
are the red-letter days of these
Christmas cruises, shows that they
last from to IL days or more,
and that every one will be back in
New York on the first or on the
earliest days Of the new year. When

BeckOn Snow
Enthusiasts
Wide Variety of
Sports Offered
Hardy Vacationists

The snow is deepening on the
slopes and in the valleys Of most
of Americas national parks. Winter
sports enthusiasts are waxing their
skis, sharpening their skates and
getting out their toboggans and
snowshoes for another season amid
the mountains, forests and frozen
lakes OF these great Fairgrounds.
From now until late spring-even
until July 4 In the higher reaches
OF some parks-increasing thousands
of novices and experts will avail
themselves of the grand ski slopes,
skating rinks, snow vistas and tobog-
gan slides provided and maintained
for them in these vast recreational
areas set aside by Congress for their
enjoyment.
The growth of winter sports in the
United States has been phenomenal.
This is due only in a slight degree
to the fact that wars in Europe have
kept at home those Americans who
annually visit Switzerland and the
Alps. In vogue in several national
parks for over score Of years, now
hundreds of thousands Of fans 60
to winter vacation lands scattered
throughout the country in national
and State parks, national forests,
and especially developed private re-
sorts. Last winter $4,000 skaters and
skiers visited Acadia National Park,
Maine: $1,000 went to Mount Rainier
National Park, Washington, and
crowds numbering up to 1000 on
week ends taxed facilities at Yose-
mite and Sequoia National Parks,
California.
AS approach roads have made
available hitherto inaccessible ma
tional parks, the National Park
Service Of the United States De-
partment Of the Interior, which ad-
ministers the national parks, monu-
ments and other areas in the Federal
parks system, has welcomed winter
sport enthusiasts to these superlative
winter areas.
Skiing Most Popular
OF Varied Sports.
Skiing is by far the most popular
of the winter sports in esnatioual
parks. But there are so many other
things to do in the national parks
in winter that visitors find it hard
to crowd them all in without setting
back the clocks.
Skating, ski -joring (Which means
riding on skis while holding tightly
to the reins of q horse-reallv land
surfboard riding, placid sleigh rid
ing, tobogganing, ashcan sliding,
snowballing, quiet contemplation Of
the breath taking white beauty Of
the parks and just sitting in front OF |
great log fires to thaw out-al are
on the program offered in the na-
tional parks.
Yosemite and Sequoia National
Parks in California and Mount |

in the winter sports field and

And it is well that one may now

Its many attractions or to enjoy

Plane and bus schedules are being
geared to increased Florida travel
with air liners poised to serve vaca.
tionists who demand even greater
speed or have by habit paced theil
lives to air Journeys. Special en-
phasis is being placed by bus lines
on planned tours through Florida
with water trips to Havana as one
Of the features.
The winter vacationist will not be
long in Florida's sun before he will
want to move about. 1t is then that
the State unfolds its fascinating
points of interest-Silver Springs,
where fish play football; Box Tower
famous for moonlight carlton re-
citals; Cypress Gardens, with its
ever-blooming flowers; Tarpon
Springs and its sponge exchange;
the Big Top in winter quarters:
Marine Studios. where giant fish an

there are thousand miles of coast.
10000 fresh water lakes and 600
varieties of fish ready for hooks
BY the time one reaches Orlando. in
the lake region: Stuart on the East
Coast or Crystal River on the West
Coast, fishing makes its impression.
Scores of fishing craft, their occu-
pants in shirt sleeves, create desire
no angler can resist.
But don't come to Florida intend
ing to finance your trip on fishing
prizes. AS far as the fresh water
contests are concerned, catches will
be ruled out nationally. Floridas S
black bass are so big that every
year the prizes would come to this
State, so now fishermen just con-
tent themselves by saying they
caught one bigger than the national
prize winners.
There are local contests to test
ones skill, however, and with plenty
of prizes. The sailfish contests at
West Palm Beach, Stuart, Miami and
other places make it worth while to
catch that big one" Tarpon, red
fish and kingfish tournaments at
Sarasota, st. Petersburg, Clearwater
and other west coast cities bring
anglers from all States.
Golf Ranks High
Among States Sports.
After listing fishing at the top the
statistics fail to rank other sports.
Golf, though. must be well up on the
list, for hardly Florida city does
not have links. And some of the
courses are among the best. Ponte

BY HELEN VOGT.

Scurrying among the crowds ol
Christmas shoppers is small army
Of intent and pleased looking ladies
They're invading the local stores
with one purpose in mind-to buy
the best and most appropriate
clothes for wear in other climates
Everywhere women congregate
these days the talk turns to travel
Some are going North for the winter
sports, others are heading for
warmer climes. but all are planning
eagerly for these winter trips. So
far, we've heard few complaints
about being cooped up in America
all winter" as one carton put it.
Manufacturers have stressed the
American feeling" throughout COL
lections by using red, white and blue
in many forms. They have designed
winter sports clothes with comfort
and practicability in mind, now that
women are going in for skating and
skiing with a vengeance. and the
Southern wear togs have the charm
and gayety of their surroundings.
Remember, in selecting your ward
robe for either climate, that appro-
priateness is by far the most i'm
portant consideration. To have "all
the wrong clothes is just about the
surest way to ruin vacation that
we can imagine.
Bright Touch Added
Inexpensively.
For Northern resorts. take warm
clothes, but don't think that they
have to be unattractive in order to
be serviceable. For ski trips, for in
stance, you want light woolen or
gabardine trousers and bright COL
ored jackets. Skating outfits are apt
to be either one-piece princess style
dresses or short separate skirts and
jackets. All, of course, are attrac-
tive models with haring skirts and
are done in velveteen, flannel and
other favored fabrics. Such acces-
sories as warm hoods and mittens
do double duty with these outdoor
togs and with day and evening
clothes for excursions into the cold
mountain air.
Look for the Tyrolean influence
in these clothes. Brilliantly en-
broidered mittens, scarves, hoods,
belts and suspenders lend bright
and inexpensive touch. Investigate
the fuzzy ear muffs, too, and rejoice
in their warmth.
For daytime, you'll probably live
in skirts and sweaters or classically
simple wool frocks. Be sure that
your coat Is warm, whether 1t is
a heavy wool model or a fur coat.
We particularly like the sheared
beavers and skunks as all-around
types and favor the attached hoods
on the latter.
In the evening, winter gowns of
the present variety are just the
thing. Velvets and satins are good,
wool dinner gowns popular and a
jacket dress or one with long sleeves
is indispensable. Take boots for
venturing out in the evening, and
dressy hoods and mittens to wear
with the same costumes. Look at
the charming mitts which are velvet
on one side and kid on the other.
Trimmed with ermine tails, they're
elaborate and warm.
Angora hoods and mittens are also
good |
OF. course, you'll want a warm
robe and slippers for loungine, and
undieS for daytime. If |
your wise, you'll also remember to
take protective creams and lotions
for hands and face.

Chrys|er Workers
Voting in Largest
MI. R. B. Election
$4,000 Are Eligible to
Cast Ballots for
Bargaining Agent
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Sept. 27.-Enployes OF
the Chrysler Corp. in three States
today registered their preference for
exclusive bargaining agencies in the
largest election ever undertaken by
the National Labor Relations Board.
Approximately $4,000 workers were
eligible to vote in the 13 Chrysler
plants, eight of them in Detroit and
one each in Marysville, Mich; Los
Angles, Calf, and Newcastle, Ko-
komo and Evansville, Ind.
Voters were asked to choose
among the C. I. o. United Automo-
bile Workers, the A. F. of l.. United
Automobile Workers or no union at
all. In Newcastle, Ind, the name of
an independent union also appeared
on the ballot. Each plant will be
considered as separate unit in
counting the votes, making it pos
sible for different plants to choose
different agents
Active participation in the voting
by members of the U. A. WA. F.
of L. appeared unlikely except at one
plant here. Homer Martin, presi-
dent of the u A. WA. F. Of L.,
urged his followers to refrain from
voting in N. l.. r. B. elections before
the recent poll of Briggs Manufac-
turing Co. employees, which was won
by the G. I. o. union.
F. J. Mccartney, president of the
Plymouth local, U. A. WA. F. of L.,
announced last night that I'VE are
participating just in Plymouth at
Detroit, because the members voted
to do it."
R. J. Thomas, president of the U.
A. VIC. I. O., accepted c. I. o. vic
tory as a foregone conclusion. TT
appears to be only question of the
size of the @. 1. o. landslide" he
said.
A spokesman for the N. L. r. B.
said counting of the ballots would
probably be completed late tomor-
row.
