 able Scenes

Vermont is aptly described as "a continuous natural park" Its ver- dant charm and rural flavor bears its own guarantee of permanence by reason of its varied character and extensive area of distribution.
 If stranger to Vermont, sur prises and thrills are in store for you. From the wealth of your ex- perience or reading you will have formed a mind picture of the Green Mountain State. Yet you are cer- tain to omit from the portrait some of the unique touches that make Ver- mont what 1t is = a scenic paradise with hills and waters, valleys and hamlets that somehow defy a close comparison with any other Ameri- can region.
 The people of Vermont are differ ent, too. Ethan Allen, famed Green Mountain pioneer, once said that '"The gods of the valleys are not the gods of the hills," and Vermont is state of mountains. The people you meet and the scenes you see have the elements of drama. You may sense in Vermonters hard hitting, resourceful, energetic = a character bred by life requiring self-reliance.
 And the hills! In a region incredi- bly, favored by Nature with varied

 The curtain is just about to go Up on what is, positively, the biggest show on earth-a show that covers 28O acres hard by the shores of Fountain Lake and runs the gamut of merry high jinks from Billy Roses Aquacade at one end to the Wild West Rodeo at the other, from Frank Bucks Jungeland on the east to Merrie England on the west
 Veteran showmen who have pOullQSu Jllc CdIlllfdl u esll 1Ol AioAiy year sem to be agreed that, as the weeks have rolled by, Grover A. Whalen and his adjutants have assembled an unbeatable melange of entertainment in their fun zone; something for every taste and some thing for every pocketbook.
 It's difficult to pass out the lau- rels among so many lures but ir the judgment of many experts Broadway Billy Rose has turned out the top attraction with his dancing diving, and swimming extravagan- ga on the stake of the New York State Amphitheater, starring John- ny Weissmuller and Eleanor Holm and their 2c0 Aquabelles and Aqua gals.
 The customers apparently think so, too, because 100000 of them have laid 40 cents on the line since the show opened on May to sit under the sun or the stars and see the show unfold in four acts: Miami" "Coney Island in 1900" sThe French Riviera" and the American Coast.

MOHAWK TOWER
 POPULAR SPOT
Cornwall Site Draw s 5000 Daily - Nina
 White Responsible

To the Mohawk Tower as many as 5000 people climb on fine summer days in the Mohawk Forest at Cornwall, Connecticut. Doubtful if any of these visitors know the burn ing ideal end the indomitable en- ergy that made the park and the tower possible.
 Nina White, a dark-eyed, viva- cious girl of eighty years ago, loved the eagle views from her native hills and determined that the whole world should enjoy them too.
 "We're going to build tower on the Mohawk" she announced, and set about waking the enthusiasm of her neighbors and raising the ne- cessary money where she could. Single-handed she did it. A dollar here and a dollar there from the farmers to whom every penny counted. From the villages of Gosh- en and Cornwall and Litchfield, larger contributions. She even talk ed the hard eade6 Cornwall select- men into giving a substantial yearly contribution to the Mohawk Asso- citation rather than taxing 1t. The like of it had never been known be- fore.
 In 1882 on the one acre and three rods of land purchased atop the peak the tower was built. Two thou sand people visited it the opening day, July 4th, and after that money for a fine French telescope came easily. Roads were repaired, cabins built to accommodate the tfrongs of visitors. The whole neighborhoot pitched in, fired by the success o1 Nina Whites strange venture.
 Today the old tower has gone: modern steel one but little taller than the original stands on the site
