Exposition but One
Of San Francisco's
Travel 'Musts'

SAN FRANCISCO, June 17.-1f
you are heading for California s
Worlds Fair on Treasure Island, in
San Francisco Bay, get all notions
out of your head that you will see
a vast industrial exhibit, with build
ings full of equipment, engines and
big wheels generating umpty-umph
horsepower. Industry Is there, sure
ly, but the Golden Gate Inter-
national Exposition is different.
Pleasure, vacation and gaiety are
the keynotes and nearly every ex-
hibit centers around things that
make life more enjoyable.
But the exposition - while San
Francisco's No. ] attraction-is only
one of scores of interesting places.
There's Chinatown, with its temples
and bazaars, native theaters and
restaurants, strange shops and in
teresting characters, are only part
of the life and activity in this far
ransplanted Oriental city.
There are other musts for travellers
in San Francisco - Fishermens &
Wharf and the gay Italian fishing
fleet; Golden Gate Park, a thousand
acres of flowers and trees; the Ocean
Beach, with its Cliff House and Seal
Rocks; Colt Tower on lofty Tele-
graph Hill; old Mission Dolores, doz-
ing in the sun, and the Government
Preside, to name but few.
One recurrent feature of San
Francisco Is the view. Fourteen hills

they will find also the tourist Sleep
ing car. which is the same as the
usual sleeper of a decade ago, eX-
cepting that its carpeting has been
replaced with linoleum under the
berths. The railroad rate for use
of these cars is less. and the rate
for the berths in these Pullmans is
approximately half of that in the
standard cars. Equally novel, in the
East, is the plan to charge lover
rail fare for occupants of upper
berths, so that the day yet may
come when travellers will demand
uppers before they have to take
lowers, because all the uppers are
sold.
Also, In the West, the travellers
will find trains of sumptuous coaches
and tourist sleepers, with lounge
cars, diners, etc, of the type of
the Challengers, which are akin to
tourist class af1oat.
The traveller using this type of
train, in coaches, would be able to
make a complete transcontinental
journey for cost not exceeding
5000, and could include both World S
Fairs. and possibly some mountain
climbing in Colorado, a shopping
tour in San Francisco's Chinatown,
visit to the movie stars homes in
Hollywood and Beverly Hills and a
look see" about historic Boston, in
a trip of II days, thus filling out
the average two weeks and a week
ends vacation.
This pre-supposes that the traveller
using coaches will likewise exercise
due thrift in hotel and meal ex-
penditures, but the margin over the
$50 roundtrip coach ticket is ample
to permit trip of this nature by
the economical traveller.
BY contrast, the summer visitor
to the West, seeking to use the Pull
man space on the fast streamliners
will find that those which cross the
continent in day and a half, such
Evening star., 1939-06-18

as the City of San Francisco or it's
partners, the Forty Miner and the
Treasure Island Special. have a
slightly higher extra fare. But this
is compensated for by the saving of
a day in travel time between Chicago
and San Francisco.
Finally, there is the extension of
the tour into Canada, visiting such
spots as Banff Springs and Lake
Louise, or Jasper Park, served, re-
spectively. by the Canadian Pacific
and Canadian National roads. To
the former two resorts, a faster
schedule of a through train from
Chicago-the Mountaineer-make
1t possible to be in the heart of the
Canadian Rockies the second fore
noon out of Chicago, and to walk
on the terrace of the Banf Springs
Hotel, look down upon the Bow River
Valley in precisely the spot where
King George and Queen Elizabeth
found such pleasure that they would
have liked to prolong their stay.
Whatever their objectives. this
summers crop of travellers will find
novelties, economy and color on
their trains, West, East or North.

Nantucket, Resort
Island, Retains
|Olden Charm

NANTUCKET, Mass, Jure IT,
Once upon time, when the coun"
try was very young, Nantucket Is
land, now one of the most popular
vacation spots in the East, was sold
to group of Puritans from Sails
bury, Mass, for s30 and two beaver
hats. Today the 10000 acres of
sand dune and bayberry patch,
flowers, bays and beaches that go
to make up this vacation island con-
stitute a charming heritage of an
architectural past.
Nantucket Island, 80 miles at sea
off the Massachusetts, coast, boasts
the unique situation or being the
only island in the world which is at
the same time a town and county.
Two small islands, Madaket and
Tuckernuk, hug its shores.
Nearly thirds of the many
homes today are owned by summer
visitors. Many of these houses were
built by old whaling captains, and
the picturesque quaintnesS of the
town has been strictly preserved.
Widows walks, small porches on top
of the houses, where wives of Whal-
ing captains used to walk with spy
glass, watching for the return OF
long missing husbands, are IA
miliar sight everywhere.
The island boasts of many large
hotels and several boarding houses,
numerous restaurants and tearooms,
many fascinating shops, a public
library, one of the oldest weekly
newspapers in the country, modern
hospital, delightful surf and still wa
ter bathing, fishing, a landlocked
harbor for sailing and motor boat
ing, miles of moors, splendid for
horseback riding; good roads for au-
tomobiles and bicycling, three popu-
lar golf courses, one of them laid
out along the edge of the ocean with
a 3000-mile view toward Spain.
Transportation to the Island is a
simple matter. An overnight boat
from New York lands you the next
morning at New Bedford, where a
4 412-hour boat trip will take you by
way of Woodshole, Marthas Vine
yard, to Nantucket Island. Ones
automobile can be safely carried on
board. There is an overnight train,
and a day train to Providence from
both New York and Boston which
make bus connections with the boat
at New Bedford. American Air
lines has alrplanes stopping daily at
Providence from both Boston and
New York, and the Nantucket

Tiny Rhode Island
Boasts of Sheltered
And Open Beaches

: PROVIDENCE, r. l., June IT.
Small as Rhode Island is. it has 40C
miles of coastline, with long, sandy
beaches shelving down into the surf
Tor vacationists who like bathing

with surf or sheltered waters.
Along the South County shore,
from Watch Hill eastward to Mar
ragansett Pier, an unusual natural
phenomenon makes it possible for
parents and children to enjoy sepa-
rate bathing facilities. Basically,
the South County shoreline is one
> long sandbar, with eXhilirating surf
uPOll lllS OuICI UCdSll,
where groWn-ups bathe and lounge
under the beaming rays of the sun;
while behind the main sandbar are
frequent shallow salt water inlets,
sun-Warmed and safe, where young
sters of all ages paddle about in COM
plete safety. In these safe, sheltered
inlets the smaller fry take their first
strokes and learn to swim before be-
Ing allowed to venture into the less
placid waters on the seaward
beaches.
South County's salt ponds are
training grounds for the shippers
of the mosquito fleets'-flotillas of
sailing canoes, skiffs and other un-
classified craft manned by sun
tanned youngsters who look forward
to the days when they will be skilled
enough to take part in the skiff
sailing competition that is an i'm
portant feature of Rhode Islands

From sailing dinghies to huge,
graceful yachts, all competitive sail
ing classes are represented in Rhode
Island waters. Especially in the
comparative calm of Narragansett
Bay, tremendous body of water
ideally suited to yachting because
almost landlocked, white-winged ves
sells skim the waves in fashionable
meets sponsored by an increasing
number of yacht clubs.
Inland, the farming country and
forests are dotted with blue lakes
Outdoor fireplaces are maintained
for picnickers and mixers in the
State reservations and at many
points along the highways. Facili-
ties for golf and tennis are abund-
ant, with horseback riding over Sc
cluded woodland trails popular
sport.

ploring. Long docks fan out from

waterfront, and there the ships of
all nations weigh anchor.

OF rocks known as the Seven Stones,
but called "the City" by people on
the mainland. They represent all
