VACATION SPOT.

you thought of the Virginia State
park system? I understand that
1t Is easier to get reservation for
September than for any other
month, so something may still be
available. Several of the parks are
located in the mountains with lake
for swimming and fishing and boat
ing. The cabins are equipped with
cooking utensils if you wish to dc
your own cooking, or you may eat
at the cafeteria. For more infor-
nation, I would suggest you call the
Virginia Travel Bureau of the Wash
ington AAA office.
