Today's Strains
PoimtUPNeed
OF Vacations

This is q year when the increased
availability of accommodations and
of transportation automobile, train.
bus, air and steamship is probably
going to permit more people to
travel farther than at any time
since the war.
1t is also a year when the Ameri-
can people, worried as they are over
events both national and abroad,
have their greatest need for the
mental and physical refreshment OF
vacationing of almost any peace
time period that can poin to.
And, although this may seem a
revolutionary departure, perhaps,
this is also the year when a new
suggestion might very well be intro
duced into the vacation travel
habits of the American people.
The suggestion is: Take two va
cations year; maybe even three or
four.
More Than One Necessary.
First of all, under today's condi-
lions of tension and strain, more
than one vacation a year is actually
necessary-at least by those in posi-
lions of pressure and responsibility.
One of the most shocking condi-
lions in the national picture today
is reflected by the daily newspaper
accounts of men who are dropping
off long before their time from heart
ailments. I have come across one
survey which says heart disease
causes more deaths in North Amer
lea than the next five major causes
combined. This same survey says
the fact that the ailment is rare
among primitive peoples and among
animals in their natural state indi-
Gates that the cause is found In our
pace of modern life. We go too fast.
One way to slow down is to make
more frequent breaks during the
year for vacations. This breaks the
tension, washes away worries for a
fresh mental outlook and provides
opportunity for much-needed phys
ical relaxation.
Business Insurance.
Boards of directors OF corporations
could wisely recognize this condi-
ton to the point Of requiring policy
executives to take week away from
the Job at more frequent intervals,
perhaps spring, summer, fall and
winter. This would be simple "busi-
ness insurance" It would improve
the perspective of the executive, re-
kindle his enthusiasm, insulate his
Judgment. 1t would prevent the ILL
tempered executive from upsetting
the morale of his employees when his
nerves are worn too thin under
pressure.
This staggering of a larger num-
Der of vacations through the year
has other advantages. 1t heightens
the element of change. which Is the
essence of a successful vacation.
We vacation not merely to stop
working. We need change, a COM
plete switch from the scenes OF
everyday living, . radical shift, to
completely new things which will
take our minds to different channels
for ut least this vacation period.

slightly expanded over thoSe OF last
year. During the height Of the sum-
mer travel season they proved far
from adequate to meet the demand.
The most considerable expansion Is
at Yellowstone National Park, where
there will be so to so new cottages
available, in conjunction with the
Lake hotel. These will accommo-
date 125 to $50 people. There will
also probably be slight increase
in overnight accommodations at Big
Ben National Park. At few others.
there have been betterments in
existing facilities without increase
in amount.
Make Reservations Early.
If you are planning trip to any
of the national parks. or to any OF
the comparatively few national
monuments which have lodgings,
and you want a hotel room or a
cabin or a tent, 1t is a good idea to
get your request for a reservation
in early. If you didn't clip that list
of national park concessioners from
the travel section of The Sunday
Star a few weeks ago, write to the
superintendent Of the park you plan
to visit. Tell him how much and
what kind of accommodation you
want, when you want it and for
how long, and about how much you
want to pay. He will see that your
request gets into the proper hands.
Now that the Service has received
modest additional allotment for
penalty franked mail. he will
probably also be able to send you an
international folder, if you ask for
it.
There are campgrounds in all
of the parks, but Carlsbad Cav
ems and Everglades, and there Is
no charge for the use of them. In
most, however, the period OF stay Is
subject to a definite limit. This
permits facilities to be spread more
widely
Accommodation Nearby.
If you aren't able to obtain ac-
commodations in the park or parks
YOU want to visit, it is often pos
sible to find some not too far out
side the entrance. Or perhaps you
will want, instead, to pay visit to
some of the less known places in
the national park system. OF which
there are many,-the interesting
homes of prehistoric Americans in
the Southwest or such places OF geo.

Horse Sense i'm

The old adage that dollars

ever before. But we spend all
ours and get little or nothing IN
return and therefore are left un-
protected when the nose count

U. s. Department Of Commerce,
we represent a potential buying
market Of $1,000, 0OO. 900. Yet
with such tremendous buying
power according TO our popula-
ton, we do not command the eco
nomic respect that we should.
The reason is we are consumers
and not producers.
We don't encourage Negro bus
mess enterprises. We do not pro-
vide respect for our business per-
SOnalities like we should and our
buying habits are also bad, In
that we pass up Negro businesses
for others.
The time is at hand when we
must learn that no race can have
economic stability unless il can
produce as well as consume. We
are the only minority group in
America with such a low capac-

ARMY ENGINEER
 ACTIVITY HERE
 MAY RISE SOON

A possibility of increased Army Engineer activity in Juneau was foreseen today from the statements of Col. w. E. Potter, District Engi- neer for Alaska. who was here over the weekend on his first personal in- spection of local facilities.
 Col. Potter revealed that the Ju- neau Area Engineer facilities has been cne of the Army's larger sup ply operations in Alaska. He said that it also is necessary in order to provide repair base for Army Transportation Corps vessels.
 There has been some discussion of permanently closing the Juneau facilities, he said, but no decision has yet been reached. Col Potter feels that there should be more de- yelopment of industry and building supply facilities in the Territory in order to avoid dependence on the States for Army necessities. He urged more investment courage to- ward building these facilities.
 Quoting higher Army authorities in Washington. D. C.. Col. Potter declared that Alaska should sup ply Alaska within it's ability to do So."
 Col. Potter left yesterday in a special Air Force DC-3 which brought him here Friday.
