Time was when Americas summer
vacation season ended in a glitter
and splurge, like some theatrical
extravaganza, on Labor Day. All
the props" in the phenomenon of
the great tourist movement-the
cruise ships, private automobiles,
trains, planes and buses-were on
the stage, with yipping, rollicking
chorus splashing in the surf or
meandsring over the blue heights OF
the mountains in the background.
Fortified in mind and body, yet a
little weary, the agile cast appeared
ready to haul the curtain down.
Sprinkling the scene were groups OF
children, sobered to the point OF
tears at the immediate prospect OF
school. But the jolly season rapidly
was closing, there was work to DO
and it would be months before an
other junket, a dead-of- winter visit
to sunny Southern skies, would warm
and refresh bodies tightened against
the cold.
Last fall, when the defense pro-
gram was attempting to hit its
stride, saw a break in the traditional
closing date. Especially in Wash
ington, working forces in certain
hurry-hurry activities were held to
their desks, their professions and
their trades with the consolation
of dubious value to some-that their

AUGUSTA. Maine. August 90
In Maine the customer is always
right and no one complains because
the bulk of the States visitors pick
the summer season for their vaca-
ton time. However. while they are
willing to break down and admit
that Maine summer is really some
thing to write home about, the
States natives almost to man are
agreed that it cannot hold candle
to the months of September and
October.
The reason for their enthusiasm
is easy to understand for any one
who has been in Maine in the fall.
Autumn in Maine is the time when
the sky seems the bluest, possibly
