Travel Td{for

When Europe was on the travel
map, America was so we'll stocked
with information on events abroad
that the galaxy Of attractions could
be spread, fguratively, on the travel
counter and the tourist could select
the time for his trip that struck his
particular fancy. Or. with no more
diligence than was required to read
old patent medicine almanacs, he
could thumb through the Institute
of Foreign Travels calendar of the
Old Worlds holidays, pageants,
sports and other spectacles for the
year. But tracking down the dates
OF all the outstanding Mexican fes-
tivals (alluring reasons why Amer
leans visit the picturesque land
south Of the Rio Grande) has been
IN the past something of a chore.
They could be obtained with a Ger
tain amount of digging, and the
choice they offered made the pros
pecting worth while.
The alternative to such enterprise
was largely hit or miss method of
travelling that caught only such
extra color and spectacles as hap
pened to be at hand. This was par
ticularly true of the independent
tourists who had no travel agents
counsel.
Such haphazard timing can bring
keen disappointment. One might
just miss an interesting glimpse into
native life; or he might fracture his
travel budget by deciding to stay
over an extra week or so to catch
another.
AS a service to its prospective
travellers and partly In response to
information sought by cultural,
artistic and educational groups, the
Mexican Tourist Association has
prepared list of events on the sum-
mer fiesta program, which includes
20 noteworthy and colorful events.
The calendar for the remainder
OF the season follows:
June 29-Uruapan, state of Mic
hoacan. A fiesta similar to the one
held on st. John the Baptist's Day,

May County reaches out into the
waters of the blue Atlantic Ocean
and the green waters of Delaware
Bay, combining verdant uplands,
tangy sandy beaches and sheltered
boating waters and capturing cooling
breezes for more than a million
vacationists annually.
The county, the most highly de-
veloped seashore resort county in
New Jersey, with its increasing in
terest for hundreds of thousands of
cottagers and weekend visitors,
anticipates playing host this year
to its largest crowd.
Each of its 18 ocean and bay COM

agricultural life.
One of the most recent develop
ments that has created widespread
interest is the new 40-mile ocean
drive. 1t connects every one of the
county's 10 ocean-bordering resorts,
located on five islands, into a con-
tinuous journey for 40 miles within
sight and sound of the breakers.
Beginning at Atlantic City, the
Ocean drive follows the flight of the
seagull south through Ocean City,
which prides itself as Americas
family resort; through quaint
Strathmere, famed for its fishing:
down through Sea Isle City, the
Venice Of America; Townsends

Cape May County is famous not
only for its beaches, but also for its
fishing. Its so miles of inland wa
terways provide thrills for today's
1zaak Waltons and yield bushels OF
large blue-clawed crabs daily. Deep
sea boats take the fisherman into
the ocean or bay for gamey en-
counters with the tuna, marlin,
drumfish and many other varieties
OF saltwater fish. And there still
remain scores of fishing piers and
level strands where he may wet his

HOLD MEETING TODAY
c Believes City
Should Buy Old Marine
Hospital Building

The city and county commission
ers will meet this afternoon at 4
o'clock for a discussion of the pro-
posal to jointly sponsor the erection
of an armory here.
Mayor Thomas E. Cooper said
last night that the city would offer
a proposal to build the quarters for
two military units here on-a 5000
basis"
This plan has been the n in
effect between the two governing
boards in the erection of an armory
heretofore, he said, and the "city
and county have always gone half
in such matters"
Friday the city commissioners dis
cussed at length a proposal to Sc
cure a WPA appropriation Of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 for cree
ton of a national guard armory in
Wilmington, the building to house
Company I, 10th Infantry, and
Company A, 1o5th Medical Regi-
ment.
The only site named in discus
sions prior to this is the old Ma
rine hospital grounds.
This property of approximately IS
acres has been offered by the U. S.
government for sale to the city for
$4,000.
my idea is that we should buy
it, it looks like. a bargain" Mayor
Cooper said.
Providing a site for the building
and furnishing any skilled labor
that may be needed on the project
are the only requirements Of the
sponsor on the armory project.
The War department has already
approved an armory for Whining
ton. However, the WPA has not ap-
proved the project due to the fact
that up to now it has not received
any formal application for such a
building.
