Virginia Offers 2
Beach Parks for
DAILY Visitors

RICHMOND, Va, June q. Vir-
ginia's six State parks, particularly
the two in the eastern section of
the State nearest Washington, are
in line for the biggest season in
their history, according to the Vir-
ginia Conservation Commission,
which operates them. Although the
housekeeping cabins have already
been booked for the entire season
which lasts through September,
there are facilities to provide a
delightful outing for daily visitors.
Westmoreland State Park on the
Potomac River near Montross, Va,
is about 30 miles from Washington
or good two hours drive from the
National Capital by way of Fred
ericksburg. The park embraces
1,266 acres and has water frontage
Of more than a mile. The river
here is more than 6 miles wide and
is a popular place for bathing, boat
ing and fishing. The beach slopes
so gently that one may go several
hundred feet from shore without
getting into deep water.
Space for Trailers.
For day visitors there are ample
parking grounds, picnic shelters, a
modern bathhouse and facilities for
boating and fishing. There is a
camping area with light, water and

the last home of Mary Washington,

restful outing in itself, and thence
by bus to the park. Here the bath

turbulent than at nearby Virginia

are available for some of the best
fishing along that section of the
coast.

By ,Keyes Beech
Foreign Correspondent of The stor ond
the Chieoao Daily News


HONOLULU, June 8-With a
trickle of tourists already on the
way and a food expected, Hawaii is
in the position of a.beautiful woman
caught by company in the midst of
housecleaning.
She will apologize for the appear
ance of the place and at the same
time do everything in her power to
make her guests comfortable.
Before the war, Hawaii received
$4,000 visitors annually in a 500
100000 tourist industry. With i'm
proved transportation and enlarged
hotel facilities, the islands hope to
more than double the prewar num-
ber.
But while Hawaii still considers
itself the garden spot of the Pacific,
the garden was trampled by the war
and has yet to recover fully. Hotel
men are able to take care of a few
new guests, but vacationists are ad-
vised to stay home unless they have
confirmed reservations.
The Moana Hotel, familiar to
thousands of prewar tourists who
basked on the sands of Waikiki, is
taking care of guests with one hand
and repairing the scars of war with
the other.
The Halekulani also is open for
business, but the famed Royal Ha-
waiian, which has 4OO-room ca
pacity, is being renovated after
serving as a rest center for the
submariners and won't open until
fall.

The most talked of trumpeter
in America today, Dizzy Gillespie,
will be one of eight star head
liners. This will be Dizzy's first
concert appearance in the Mid
west, and will afford Chicagoans
the first opportunity to hear Dizzy
at his most sensational best.
The concert is being produced
and directed by the International
Iy famous jazz critic, Paul Eduard
Miller, who is best known for his
Esquire Jazz Books.
In these jazz books, Miller gave
large amounts of space, both in
pictures and text, to the presen-
tation and history of well known
Negro artists. Miller is the only
writer on jazz who was an eye
witness to the growth and devel-
opment of jazz in the Chicago of
the 192O's.
He knows hundreds of musi-
clans personally, and has won the
respect of these musicians through
his fair and honest critical opin-
ions. His work on the Esquire Jazz
Books won him a citation for his
contribution to better race rela-
tons.
With Gillespie on Operations
Jazz" will be Fl other recording
artists, including the fabulous
Sidney Bechet, who has been
heard on many recordings but
whose in person appearances in
Chicago have been few-the last
one was over ten years ago.
Another great sax man, Gene
Cedric, will join with Bechet and
high-powered rhythm section to
produce the quality Of jazz which
has made this American music
world-famous.
