Visitor Finds Variety
On Santa Catalina Isle

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2.-Santa
Catalina Island, only an overnight
trip by air from the East, has
become an American substitute for
the French Riviera as a rendezvous
of American fun seekers and an
nually attracts half a million Wis
itorS.
Twenty-Five miles off the coast
of Southern California, the pleasure
resort is famous for its submarine
gardens, wild boar, mountain goat
hunting, brilliantly colored flowers,
vividly plumaged rare birds, flying
fish and carefree life.
For a change from tanning
and swimming in the blue waters
of Avalon Bay there are scenic
bride trails, drives in picturesque
stagecoaches, golf and glass-bottom
boat trips over the world-famous
submarine gardens where fishes of
blue and red, gold and silver At
in and out among moses covering
submarine crags, or hide in forests
of amber kelp.
The nightly performance of the
flying fish seen In the rays of a
powerful searchlight from a fast
excursion cruiser is a thrilling spec
tacle as myriads of the winged deni-
zens of the deep dart through the
air. Large, the fish have a wing
spread often measuring close to 3
feet.

Mexico and Canada are sharing
notably in American travel prosperi-
ty, according to the surveys, and
Canadian advices to the A. A. A. are
to the effect that the nightly curfew
on gasoline sales and the Sunday re-
strictions in the Dominion do not
warrant the abandonment of plans
for tours in Canada"
AT eight Canadian points during
the week ending July S, the A. A. A.
report continues, 61,770 motor cars
from the United States entered the
Dominion on 60-day permits. This
compares with 26,535 cars the CORE
spending week last year.
Mexico City is the center of a
tourist boom, with advance hotel
reservations a necessity, with res
taurants and curio shops advertis-
ing for more personnel and new
facilities for tourists being added as
fast as conditions will allow.
Travel to Mexico is breaking all
previous records" the A. A. A. re-
port states. During the first four
months of this year, travel to Mex
leo was of normal proportions. How
ever, there was a major increase
in May, and it has increased con-
tinually since then"
From the Mexican Tourist Asso-
citation in Mexico City comes word
that already more persons have en-
tered the South of the border
land" so far this year than during
the II months Of 1910. Records
show that American travellers num-
bered $4,000 in 1898. $4,000 in
1889 and 10000 in 1910. Already,
nearly 100000 have arrived this
year. Visitors in 1941 will spend,
it is estimated, 60 millions in Ameri-
can dollars.
For the traveller who has failed
to make room reservations, the
Tourist Associa ton and the Mexican
Automobile Association maintain
at Paseo de la Reforma 48, in Mex
leo City. 24-hour service to help
find suitable shelter. Those unable
to locate a place to sleep are es-
corted to inspected and recon-
mended tourist homes, apartments

Dollar expenditures for travel,
doomed by defense effort wages,
broke all-time records for the first
half of 1941, midyear surveys in
the tourist industry have disclosed,
with vacations via highway, rail, air
and water sharing in the upturn.
Whether or not the trend will
continue, observes the American Au-
tomobile Association, depends large
ly on what emergency restrictions
come into play, particularly regard
ing auto travel. But beaches and
resorts near defense production"
areas have witnessed an unprece-
dented number of visitors on holi-
days and week ends, and resort ho-
tells have advance reservations run
ing late into the fall, the motoring
organization adds. :,
"The reports from A. A. A. motor
clubs show that on the average
routings during the first half of
| 1941 were about 20 per cent above
the number for the first nalf of
194o," reported Thomas P. Henry,
president of the A. A. A.; that
travel to the national parks, monu-
ments and historical shrines ran
approximately 16 per cent ahead,
and that railroads. steamship, air
and bus lines showed corresponding
gains. Recreational trips have on
the whole been somewhat shorter
than in previous years, but the
number has been much greater"

Reporting for the Western rail-
roads, Hugh w. Siddall, chairman
of the Transcontinental and West
ern Passenger Associations, said fig

cate one of the best seasons in

General passenger business was
up 10 to 35 per cent, and the peak
part Of Western vacation travel is
just now getting under way, said
Mr.. Siddall, adding: Individual tour
reports from our railroad and tour
agencies give more complete West
ern vacation picture, for troop move
ments are not included in these fig
ures. Already, rail-ship tours to
Alaska have had more bookings
than the entire season last year.
To our national parks, rail travel is

De luxe tours have had greater
appeal than ever. One tour agency,
with a first-class tour to national
park, shows better than go per cent
gain; another high-cahber tour al

Mr.. Siddall reported a tendency
on the part Of vacationists to delay
