Below the Carolinas and Georsia,
Daytona Beach. st. Petersburg and
Miami are announcing special
events and recreational induce
ments; and a tremendous increase
in winter reservations Is expected.
Whereas last year most OF the
hotels and apartment houses in
these cities were occupied by mem
bers Of the armed services, all but
a small percentage have been re-
turned to civilian use.
And despite the many CLAMPS
on the itinerant American spirit,
the weeks ahead give but little
promise Of lessening in civilian
journeying.
Issuance of hunting licenses has
reached an au-time record, accord
ing to reports from II States, as
war unites the food element to
the hunting and fishing season. In
the streams and marshes through
out the country, ration minded
sportsmen are potting game with
a double motive. Rationing of
shells and cartridges, however,
among other things, is certain to
keep the bag from going too far
out of proportion.
In the Midwest, Michigan, which
last season issued some 300 900
hunting licenses, offers with Wis
conssin and Minnesota stream and
lake fishing with late autumn re-

By JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

The eye Is constantly captured by
the never-still pattern Of uniforms
In Miami and Miami Beach, Fla.
There are the khaki-clad lads in
the air training courses, those in the
white, blue and slate gray of the
Navy and the women in the WAC,
the WAVES and the green of the
Women's Reserve Of the Marine
Corps. You also see the blue of the
Canadian Raj in training nearby,
with their cocky overseas hats.
Then there are the picturesque
and colorful uniforms Of the mill
tary aides to visiting official dele
cations from the Americas and the
four corners of the Allied world.
The visiting Arabians in their how-
ing white robes and the black and
gold ornaments upon their head
dresses, with their magnificent gold
swords borne after them by proud
and swarthy members Of their ret
inues, were like an Arabian Nights
dream come into being.
Pulse Is Quick.
Both cities these days have quick
pulse from both a military and a ci-
william standpoint. Already out-of-
town guests are arriving from all
over the continent for the approach
ing graduation exercises of Army
cadets at the Pan-American Naviga-
ton School and at the University
Of Miami, where they win see sons,
brothers and sweethearts receive
their wings.
The housing problem is almost as
acute as Washington's too, with
servicemen's families desiring to be
near them for their training
courses and SO many of the hotels
commandeered as quarters for the
air forces training program. There
is heavy strain on eating places,
which both cities are taking great
pains to meet with courtesy and con-
Sideration.
Very successful jitney systems
one for white passengers and an
other one for colored, supplement
the bus transportation. These jit-
neys stop at any corner, going and
coming on three-minute schedule
day and night, when they haven t
eight passengers and the driver
They also let you of at any corner
you designate, except in Miami
proper, where they make stops at
scheduled corners.
Mother Drives Jitney.
Many Of the jitney drivers are
women. One of my favorites is a
middle-aged California woman, who
points out all the sights to her
passengers. She is here to be near
her son who is in one OF the air
forces training divisions. With the
money she makes she is entirely
self-supporting as a result of her
driving skill, in addition to having
her hours so arranged that she is of
duty at about the same time her
son is.
Women drive many of the Army's
staff cars, too, and a number of its
light trucks but not its heavy trucks
or jeeps. They do not drive any of
the Navy's station wagons.
These feminine chauffeurs are
civil service appointees, the junior
ones receiving sl,320 per year They
range from young girls to staid, ma
ture women. They are not uni
formed, and few of them wear
slacks, the majority of them pre-
ferring to wear simple cotton
dresses.
The music Of service bands is a
familiar sound, with great rivalry
between the Air Forces and Navy
Bands. 'i. .'. 80 ~

The Travellers Notebook
Mid-South Resorts Expect Bonner Season;
Older Folk See Spas as Way to Sove Fuel;
Climate Appeal Sure to Bring ODT Headache

The y-in-one-pla vacation
which heightened the summer stay
Of cottagers and resorters well into
October and gave accessible North
ern resorts a banner season is being
more than duplicated in the mid
South.
Such resorts as Virginia Hot
Springs, White Sulphur Springs
Pnehurst, Asheville and Aiken are
enjoying an almost continuous un-
broken season as war recuperative
spas. Autumn reports, which for
merly associated these resorts with
the elite and the big shots Of golf,
are listing a IS to As per cent serv-
icemen clientele with golf tourna-
ments being dedicated to the war
Ieffort.
Pinehurst, which compares its Oc-
tober temperature to upper New
York State late in August and its
November to September In New
England, again offers its appeal to
the autumn vacationist with Its
casual. leisurely and peaceful atmos-
phere; and the overnight rail run
from the larger Eastern cities is
bringing large number of business
men to the resort for brief rests.
Activity at Sea Island, Ga, as
usual, centers around the Cloister
which also operates the recreational
facilities of the island. The rapidly
growing residence colony on the
island now numbers nearly 100 at
tractive homes. When not occupied
by the owners, these completely
equipped homes are available for
rental for one month or longer.
Within a few hours, motor run
from the island to the Georgia main
land is the 65,000-acre Sea Island
Hunting Preserve. While there is
bag limit, it doesn't cut down the
variety of game abounding on this
400 square miles of preserve. Native
TO these piney woods and swamp
,,aands is the wild turkey. Deer hunt
ing Is good, too, and squirrel, wild
cat, oppossum and raccoon give
added variety.
4 But even overnight rail trips to
reach any of these resorts carry
their mental hazards. One travel
agency spokesman declared:
With all the people travelling
today, piled up on the vital troop
transportation, getting available
space on sleeper is most difficult
job-yet we are doing it." He added:
Every day seems like a conven-
ton"
Another agency man went even
further. He said: We're having
the hardest kind of a job possible
even getting timetables"
The tendency to help solve fuel
problems by going where little or
no fuel is needed once again is
being discussed by patriotic North
erners, who by age and health are
excluded from war aid activities.
Numberless queries already are
being received at the various travel
agencies from these folk on South
ern travel possibilities during the
next four months.
Many who have travelled but little
before are being lured by descrip-
tive folders on-"soft breezes, sun
shine by day, the moon and stars

BALTIMORE, Dec. 22.-Inspectors
for the Baltimore Board of Liquor
License Commissioners, who made a
survey of package goods stores to de-
termine how extensive the liquor
shortage was, discovered more than
$4,000 quarts of whisky stored in
back rooms, the board reported
yesterday.
The three-day survey covered l29
stores, or slightly more than one
third of the more than 300 package
goods dealers in the city, the liquor
board said, declaring the check
showed definite boarding on the
part of some dealers.
The inspectors looked only for rye
and bourbon and reported that most
proprietors said they were saving
the liquor for regular customers or
that the whisky already had been
bought or ordered.
Exactly 6,205 cases of rye and
bourbon were found in the 129
stores by the inspectors, who first
posed as customers but who disclosed
their official capacity when refused
purchase on the ground the store
had none for sale.
The liquor board said that in only
nine stores was the owners denial
of having any whisky for sale con-
firmed by the inspectors.
In at least three instances, the
report added, the inspectors could
have purchased rye or bourbon pro-
vided they were willing to pay "a
little more" than the ceiling price.
The names of these establish
ments were turned over to the board
for possible prosecution by the Of
fee of Price Administration.
