about coming, and neglected to in

OF course, if any one gets a reser-

do is cancel quickly and give some
other vacationist a chance. Well

Avoiding the Rush.
When there's a rush on, it's COM
mon sense to avoid the peak rush
hours. We do this at the movies,
cafes and stores at home. Thus
we shop and eat at our leisure, and
get the best seats. The same ap-
plies to vacations. July and
August. are the traditional" sum-
mer vacation months, but in very
many cases there is nothing back
of this but habit. In fact, it can
often be far more desirable to get
away at a different time.
This certainly is the year to try
it. Let's leave July and August for
those, such as parents with children
in school, who must use these
months. Try some other time.
For instance, try the fall. That's
a rare treat many a habitual
July-August vacationer has over
looked. Consider the case of my
own area of Southern California.
Actually, every reason for coming to
Southern California in July and
August will apply about equally
to the fall and, in addition, the
months of September, october and
November have their own lures to
offer, such as the early opening OF
the resorts on the desert, which
is cooling down about that time.
We call fall our second summer" i"
Certainly other vacation spots are
in the same position.
Zestful Difference.
Some people give an added zest
to their vacation by trying a diff
ferent time nearly every year. The
pay-off this year should be very
worth while. There will be off,
season reservations at places you
couldn't get into with a shoe horn
in July and August.
And from the standpoint of busi-
ness and industry, employers gen.
orally, this idea of breaking away
from the traditional July-August
has tremendous possibil-
tiles. Already, some alert corpora
lions are encouraging their employees
to take their vacations a. any and
all times during the year. Gone is
the annual headache of trying to
keep up production during July and

space for camping. Reservations for
hotel or lodge rooms, cabins or tents
should be made by, communicating
directly with the concessioners in
each park.
The cost of accommodations in
the national parks this season is a
little higher than before the war
but the rates in all cases are con-
trolled by OPA price ceilings. A
wide variety of accommodations,
however, is offered, which will meet
the requirements of each individual
travel budget.
There are luxurious hotels offer
ing rooms with private bath, with
or without meals, and more modest
ly appointed lodges. which usually
consist of a central building with
recreation rooms and dining hall,
surrounded by small cabins. There
are also housekeeping cabins, fur
nished with essentials, but which re-
quire either that the visitor bring
his own bed linen, tableware and
kitchenWare, or that he rent these
articles for an additional charge
from the concessioner. In some of
the parks canvas and frame cot
tages are available at even more
moderate rates.
Accommodations in the hotels
and lodges are offered both on the
American and European plans. In
all the larger parks there are coffee
shops and cafeterias, soda stands
and stores where one may buy pro-
visions.
Some Facilities Closed.
The Navy has released the All
wahnee Hotel in Yosemite National
Park but it will not be open this
summer because of needed repairs
The Wawona Hotel will open only
when refrigeration equipment, lost
through fire, is replaced. Going-to to-
the-Sun and Cut Bank chalets in
Glacier National Park will not be
open this summer, as they are also
ia need of repairs. And there are
no cabins in Paradise Valley or
Yakima Park in Mount Rainier Ma
tional Park. The cabins were moved
away to house war workers.
While the National Park Service
does not, itself, operate any paid
overnight facilities, it does provide
excellent free camp grounds for mo-
torists bringing their own equip
ment. These camp sites are fur
nished with water, freplaces, and
lavatories. Some of them also in

THIS year would like to hop into his
auto or on train, bus or plane and
go of happily and willy-nilly with
out plan or a care in the world.
Sorry, but this is not the year
for that "vagabond" vacation.
You can have a vacation free of
care. But you'll first have to exer-
else quite bit of care to get it.
Next year, perhaps, we can all
start of gypsy fashion, to where
whimsy leads and let each nights
lodging wait until time to sleep.
Let's hope so. But. this year the
vacation must be planned, carefully
and early.
Some Rules to Follow.
There are few common sense
vacation rules which will make the
way much easier.
First, make the reservation for
accommodations early. Hotel or re-
sort rooms are not like other mer-
chandise. The hotel keeper can't
go back into the storeroom for more
rooms. When the rooms are filled,
they're filled.
When writing for reservations,
offer a second and perhaps third
choice of dates. This may enable
the hotel man or resort owner to
fill your request whereas otherwise
he might have to write back a re-
gretful rundown. Some hotels in
Southern California, in sending re-
grets when the requested dates are
filled, are taking the initiative and
offering open dates in off-season
periods, such as the fall, when the
rush is over.
In normal times merely writing in
advance may be enough. But today
don't start off without that con-
firming letter of reply.
Deposit Advised.
And when you have the reserva-
ton, it is wise to send ahead a de-
posit OF one nights lodging fee.
That is a protection against a fiat
tire or a late train which may get
you there later than scheduled-to
find your reservation gone to some
one who had better luck upon the
road than you did.
It's common practice of hotels to
hold the reservation until a reson-
able hour Of the evening, then give
it to some one else.
The hotel keeper certainly cannot
be blamed-in these days, he can
not take the chance on leaving a
room empty when he may have
some one else ut his elbow plead

New Fontana Resort
Village Slated to
Open June Is

Delays in arrival of materials
needed to transform Fontana VII
lage from IVA construction camp
into modern recreational area
have showed back the opening date
to June Is, according to officials Of
Government Services. Inc.
GSI has taken possession of the
village under its 30-year contract
with iva, and, according to r. D.
Lewis, deputy general manager Of
the corporation, much has been &C
complished toward making Fontana
Village an inviting place for tour
ing visitors. Mr.. Lewis is directly in
charge of the Fontana Village de-
velopment, under F. w. Hoover, gen.
eral manager of GSI.
Already at the dam supervising
work are H. B. Sheriff., former IVA
executive, who has joined the GSI
staf1 as camp manager, and Mrs.
Ruth Dallwig, camp hostess, who is
working out recreational programs
and plans.
Have Long Range Plans.
Mr.. Lewis reveals that the com.
pany is starting to take reservations
from June Is on, and at this early
date, Fontana Village is heavily
booked in July and August. The
company is working on long-range
plans for sound development OF Fon.
tana Village and cautions all pro.
spective visitors that it may not be
possible to have all recreational IA
cilities installed this year.
Officials feel, however, that such
natural attractions as the excellent
fishing and boating on the lake,
wonderful sleeping" weather due to
the high altitude, the magnitude of
the Fontana Dam project, the op-
portunities for hiking, tennis, soft
ball and other sports, assure a good
time for those willing to come and
accept conditions as they find them.
Already two carloads of rowboats
have been purchased and are en-
route to the Government Services,
Inc, boat site on Fontana Lake.
Riding horses will be available by
the opening date. It is expected
that about 100 of the 800 cottages
to be operated at the village will
be ready for occupancy then. GSI
plans to have its cafeteria in oper-
alton and it is expected that prices
can be kept at moderate level,
in lire with GSI policy.
In view of the distances in the
area, 1t will be almost necessity
