The Vacation Picture in Florida and California
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.-South-
ern California's winter vacation
season is back to preWar normalcy-
vacancy" signs are up all over the
palm-lined landscape.
The All-Year Club, Southern Cali
fornia's promotional organization,
says that except in some of the top
class hotels, the innkeepers are
welcoming tourists with open arms
and nothing is said about reserva-
tions or limit on length of stay.
Last winter Southern California
asked tourists to please stay away.
1t was jammed with returning troops
and relatives who came West to meet
them.
This year the free-spending GIs
mostly are gone and the land of
orange blossoms and sunshine (ex-
cept when it fogs or rains) wants
the tourist.
In the metropolitan areas Of Los
Angeles, Hollywood and Beverly
Hills, the high-rate hotels are we'll
filled. This is because train and
air travellers usually head immedi-
ately for the best-knoWn hostelries.
Pasadena is full up because of the
winter racing season at nearby
Santa Anita.
| But outside these areas, particu-
larly in the beach towns and inland
spots, hundreds of motels somehow
have been completed despite labor
and material shortages. The motorist
can pick and choose.
In Santa Monica, hotels have
been released by the military and
are available for the first winter
season since the war Santa Bar
bara, up the coast, is advertising
openly for tourists and three large
hotels have been returned from
Army use. San Diego is advertising
mo reservations, unlimited stay"
Palm Springs is not so busy as
last winter. There are plenty of
accommodations at 81 dude ranches
in the Victorville area.
Lake Arrowhead, in the San Ber-
nardino Mountains, is keeping fully
open this winter, and features such
winter sports as skiing, ice skating
and tobogganing. Rooms are avail
able.
A spot check by the All-Year Club
shows that most of this winters
tourists are in the higher-income
brackets but they are not spending
so freely as the GIs did.

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 25.-The tour
lists are as plentiful as ever in
Florida, but they aren't packing
the greenbacks.
The 1867 winter season Is de-
scribed as a return to normal"
Last winter still is looked on as
one "out of this world" Thousands
Just back from the war and other
thousands released from war jobs
went on a pleasure binge, tossing
their folding money right and left
Nothing was too good and price nary

The fling has passed, but the reck-
oning Is far from a hangover.
There have been few, if any, cuts
in hotel rates, and entertainment
costs are about the same. Hotel
rooms can be had, but houses ano
apartments, unless on a seasonal
rental basis, just aren't available.
| The peak of the season along the
South Florida Gold Coast''-fron

not be reached probably until late
in January and February.
Real estate, which doomed dur
/ ing the summer, with homes bringing
several times their worth, apparently
has hit it's peak. There has been
a drop in the sale of older places
Throughout the State there were
reports of considerable price re-
sistance in real estate, as well as in
foods and expensive liquors. Night
spots in the Miami area reported
good" business, but it couldn't
touch last winter. Outstanding
talent, however, was still on the
program.
Fishing continues to lead the
States sports. The winter through
December and early January was
unusually warm and the catches OF
sailfish, tarpon and other gamesters
were heavy.
Miamis bridges and causeWays-
| favorite gathering places for fisher
men-were more crowded than in
other years, and charter boat cap
tains reported their services in de-
mand for trips into the gulf stream
and the Atlantic.
At Palm Beach, where blue-chir
society plays in expensive villas
behind high stone walls and shuns
publicity, the return to conservatism
was welcomed. The season marked
the return of the private Pullman
car, yacht, plane and limousine tc

COTTON
NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. %. G-
Cotton futures today weakened
under renewed pressure of hedge
selling, following early steadiness
and gains of almost $3.50 a bale.
New Orleans and locals turned
to the selling side, and final prices
were Is to 95 cents a bale lower.
Traders generally felt that the
recent hurricane has done rela-
lively little damage to the cotton
crop, although grades have I'M
doubtedly been lowered in the
storm affected areas. This senti-
ment partially accounted for the
reaction in futures.
Liquidation in nearby October,
prior to first notice day Septem-
Der Is, also discouraged rallylng
tendencies. Mills were reported
showing fair interest in spot cot
ton offerings in the belief that
prices will move lower later IN
the ginning season.
Futures closed Is to 95 cents a

close.

able to make any Roadway.
Some of the pivotal steels,

much off the day, managed tc
trim their losses.
Dealings were at a slow pace,
with the ticker tape frequently

$50, 900 Friday. Of 942 issues re-
gistering there were 422 declines
and 294 advances.

some bidding was based on be-
lief the upswing of last week
