For those who would rather stay
within committing distance OF New
York City's glittering night life,
Long Island offers the perfect an
swer to combine a nearness to the
Big City with a comforting feel OF
distance from hub-bub. Beaches
line the island, from swank strips to
crowded Coney.
At the eastern tip of Long Island
is Montauk, and there the vacation
list will find himself on solid ground
but 100 miles out to sea, Resorts
such as Montauk Manor have
beaches, swimming pools, golf

ions and the usual array of diverting
devices that give the active or lack
adaisical full enjoyment.
Whether Washingtonians bask on
the shores of Lake Ontario, loaf in
the mountain breezes of the Adiron-
dacks, idle away hours at a Lake
Champlain resort, split time be-
tween sailboating and New York
City night-clubbing or turn vaca-
ton into honeymoon and start life
at Niagara Falls. the wisest move
should be taken before a single bag
is packed. The summer OF 1947
promises to be a peak travel period
and no time should be lost by the
prospective vacationeer in making
all his travel arrangements, book
ings and reservations well in ad-
vance of his start.

NEW YORK, June practically
every Washingtonian has spent
some time in New York City, but
most 6f these visitors are probably
vague about any other part OF the
State. Yet within the borders OF
New York State vacationists can
find suitable regions for any type
holiday desired. Whatever the mode
of travel, the destination can be
mountain resorts, beaches, valley
1ide-outs, forests or lake countries.
A boat ride up the Hudson River
to Albany is a favorite method Tor
vacationists who wish to penetrate
the State and move out across the
scenic land hundreds OF miles to
the west or north Of them. Those
who wish to play pioneer can con-
tinue north from Albany few miles
to Lake George and pitch camp In
the woods. Complete equipment, in
Guiding canoe. tent, cots, kitchen
utensils and other equipment needed
for forest living can be rented at
such spots as Port Jerry. Trippers
can strike their tent and move on
or set up headquarters for their en-
tire stay, as settlements along the
lake are easily accessible for food
supplies from canteens.
Resorts Plentiful.
Those who consider camping in
the woods about as enjoyable as a
picnic on an anthill, but who still
like the greenery and mountain
vistas. will find New York State is
studded with resort hotels f1anking
lakes and forests where vaeationeers
can swim, go canoeing, play golf and
participate in all the holiday &C
tivities within walking range of a
comfortable salon.
In the 5,475, 000-acre Adirondack
Park, the holiday-bound will find
Americas largest public playground
with more than 200 mountain peaks
and l 400 lakes offering unparalleled
enjoyment to the mixer, cancer and
other active people, while others
may prefer enjoying the scenery, an
occasional swim and the rest OF a
mountain lodge. Blue Mountain
House at Blue Mountain Lake is
typical of hotels in this great region,
where boating, bathing, swimming,
tennis, archery. fishing and golf are
readily available.
Ranging westward from Albany.
the traveller can find innumerable
vacation sites at such well-known
lakes as Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca and
Canandaigna. Picturesque villages
present stop-over opportunities at
any point.
Two of the five Great Lakes Dor
der New York State, and Buffalo,
the States second largest city, is a
perfect vantage point for visiting
both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

At Lake Ontario'S northeastern

ample enjoyment in the activities

Inequities in the application of the
transportation tax to travellers were
laid before the House Ways and
Means Committee recently, as 1t be-
gan hearings on long-range revl-
sion of the Federal Government
tax structure.
The Is per cent tax was removed
in April for travel to Europe, South
America and Asia.
While general revision Of the tax
will not be attempted until the
1913 session, reports have been heard
in Capitol corridors that an effort
may be made before adjournment
to correct some of the hardship
cases on the list of excise taxes,
Before they 90 home in July, both
houses are expected to take up a
resolution freezing the Social Sc

this would be a revenue measure

excise rates would be germane
Whether such amendments will be
offered, however, is still in the
speculative stage.
Representative Gearhart. Repub-
hcan, of California. a member OF the
House Ways and Means Committee,
described the transportation levies
as most unequal in their applica-
ton. He said they are particularly
iineouitable in their effect on the
West Coast, because of the distance
that must be covered by persons
or goods to reach the Eastern CEN
