Los ANGELES, April 1s-Sum-
mer vacationists are promised sur
prisingly little change in wartime
Southern California, considering its
tremendous war job.
Some stretches of roads, usually
secondary ones, are blocked OF in
the vicinity of airplane factories
and important military installa-
tions. But routes to all vacation
attractions are open and tourists
may go where they please without
restrictions other than time, their
pocket books and speed laws.
Vacationists who leave their auto
mobiles home in the garage this
summer viii get along very happily.
The biggest sightseeing bus sys-
tenn on earth criss-crosses Southern
California, taking tourists up and
down the coast, to mile-high Lake
Arrowhead in the San Bernardino
Mountains, to all the Hollywood
glamour spots.
The extensive electric interurban
railway system reaches its tentacles
to beach, orange empire. missions
and other spots of interest, supple
menting rail and air lines.
One change will be noticed by
visitors-there are no Japanese on
the streets. and the famous Little
Toxic" section of Los Angeles is
deserted, modern-day ghost town
Of empty homes and stores.
Another change is the prohibition
OF OF shore fishing at night. Vaca-
tionists can sail out and fish all
they want, daytimes. however.

Turns to BICYCLES

COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG.
Va. April 18-Since the advent OF
tire rationing, practically the whole
city of Williamsburg has taken to
bicycles, while the Restoration,
which formerly maintained a large
fleet of cars and trucks for its
employees, has now put all but three
of its automobiles into Ceod storage.
and has substituted 16 bicycles, in
cluding four cycle trucks, for office
and delivery use.
1t is no uncommon sight to see
everybody from the Office boy to
the vice president of the Restoration
pedaling rapidly through the streets.
The Williamsburg Inn and Lodge
have always maintained a number
of bicycles for hire, and these taxi
cycles are more popular now than
ever before, the fat terrain of the
town being an excellent place for
visitors to practice bicycling before
they attempt 1t IN their home towns.

Utility Extensions
Affected By Restric-

Those building new homes, or
erecting new places OF business,
or contemplating the construction
of Industrial plants are cautioned
to contact power company repre-
sentatives we'll In advance Of their
actual needs for utility services, In
q statement released today by Of
ficials of the Mississippi Power Z
Light Company.
Many materials essential to
winning the war are also essential
to utility services, such as copper.
wire, steel, transformers, pipes,
and other similar items. The gov
eminent, because of the essential
nature Of such materials, has is-
sued an order, known as P.46.
restricting the use of such vital
war materials by Mississippi
Power & Light and other utility
companies. The result of this order
is that this company can only
make limited extensions from
existing service facilities, and
even such extensions can be made
only under regulations issued by
the government.
This restriction is in contrast to
Mississippi Power & Light Com
pany's record Of pioneering in the
bringing of modern utility SER
vices to Mississippi during the
past Is years. Each year during
this period this company has made
substantial ...creases in the num-
Der of customers served, bringing
the benefits of utility services to
thousands of additional MISSISSIPPI
plans during each annual period.
Mississippi Power & Light Cone
pany now requests that all GUS
toners contemplating the need for
additional services, make applica.
ton for such services we'll in adj
vance of actual needs so that the
company may determine II the
necessary materials can be obtain
ed and II such service connections
can be made under existing gov
ernmental orders.
In discussing this condition, To-
cal officials Of the utility COM
pany stated that, Mississippi
Power & Light Company services
have . first-line Job to do in win
ming this war and our company
and its facilities are pledged above
all else. to do this Job. We know
this requirement Is going to work
a hardship on many residential,
commercial. and industrial GUS
toners. but we feel that We can
count on the full cooperation of
Mississippians who will realize
with US that it is a part OF the
sacrifice that we are privileged to
make to help win this war;"
