nights rest. We'll get an early start tomor-
row." promised Mr. G.
The first court they came to looked pretty
good. The juke box in the motels bar was
trif1e noisy, but Mr.. G.. figured it would soon
quiet down.
At midnight the juke was still making
boogie in loud way. At one. couple banged
into the cabin next the G.'s. The girl seemed
unhappy about leaving the music She decided
to carry on, without the band.
Not Much Sleep
AT TWO, Mr.. G. beloved: "Quiet!' He was
ignored An argument, beyond the cardboard
partition, increased steadily in pitch and
volume. Some of it was not exactly lullaby
language.
1t became loudly apparent the couple next
door were neither lady and gentleman, nor
man and wife,
Haggard and hollow-eyed. the G.s arose,
dressed. piled suitcases into the Car. They got
their early start all right.
Next time, Mr.. G. will probably be more
careful in his selection of an overnight stop
ping place. But even with the most cautious
eye to outward signs, he - or you - may run
into dubious place. If you get as far as the
room itself, there are several good WAYS to
test it:
!. swift look-see at ashtrays, dresser top
and wastebaskets will tell you whether the
place has been properly cleaned after its last
occupancy.
z. Give the bathroom once-over for un-
wrapped soap. used towels, still-wet shower
curtain
}. Use your fingertips on window sills. Look
for cobwebs in ceiling corners. Peek under the
bed to see if a vacuum has been used on the
carpet recently.
4. Don't let bedspread mislead you. Soiled
blankets or quilts are sometimes found be-
meath the showiest coverlets.
5. Some owners cut corners by using the
top sheet as bottom sheet for the next
occupant. Ten years ago, before the auto
court grew up to long pants and such fancy
names as motor inns, motor lodges, autopias
ETC., you wouldn't have expected sanitary
tumblewrappers. disposable bathmats and
glass bureau tops Nowadays they're COM

The quick look around will tell you some

thing about comfort as well as cleanliness. OF
course many good places will not have all of
these but here are some things to look for.
!. A luggage rack, so you can get at things
without laying your suitcase on the floor.
z Ample closet space; failing that, plenty
of coat hooks and hangers.
5. lamp low enough to read in bed bv.
with a switch 50 you don't have to get out of
bed to turn it off.
4. medicine cabinet or shelf in the hath.
room, 50 you won't have to balance toilet
articles around the washbowl rim
>. mattress cover under the sheet. In
any well-run court, it tells you the mattress is
clean.
A. Advertised
HEsE things count for more than blond
furniture and fancy drapes. You probably
won't stay long enough to use those dresser
drawers anyway. But you'll be using the hot
water; 50 turn it on to make sure it's as adver-
tised
The chances are, however, you'll want to
make your choice before you get out of the
car, IT you can. Here are some pointers that
will help you:
Time was when many owners of "overniqht
CABINS made bid for local" trade by putting
their cabins where visitors wouldn't attract
too much attention. High banks shutting off
view from the road, gullies or thickets were
considered the thing
Such places still exist. The canny tourist
will think twice about stopping at place that
isn't out IN plain sight, we'll lighted, and on
main highway
vi course, an auto court may be located
with factories all around and still be a
model of respectability. But too often,
such location results in most travellers pass
ing it by when it's light enough to see the sur
roundings. So the owner resorts to taking
what business he can get
For equally obvious reasons. a motor court
which is located next to dine-and- dance
place or an amusement park is not as likely
to be the sort of place you'd pick for your
family's overnight stop as one with more
sedate neighbors
SwAnky in the West
In NO single respect do courts differ as much
as IN appearance. Many fine courts in the
East and Northeast wouldn't rate high in this
regard next to some of the more swank spots in
Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado
Arizona, New Mexico, California, Texas or
in score of cities in the Midwest and South
west.
Eastern courts are built to withstand a
different sort of winter: open-face architec-
ture wouldn't be appropriate for New Eng
land weather
Still, some points go for the whole country:
Size. There wouldn't seem to be any clear
reason why a court with six units shouldn't
be as respectable as bigger one; actually,
of course, there isn't. Many small courts are
among the finest, best run, most reputable.

Il you recall is the Overnite Cabin of 10
or Is years ago. you'd hardly recognize the
youngster these days.
The modern wayside inn has grown up to
be hundred-million-doll business looking
after the comfort of 75.OOOOOO guests year.
1t pays wages or salaries to nearly quarter
of million people. And it s mushrooming by
the minute
Like all fast-sprouting youngsters, it's had
its growing pains. The biggest headache to
the industry is what is known as local" busi-
ness. Let Paul Young, proprietor of Wigwam
Village No. l, typical, high-grade motor
court at Horse Cave. KY. explain
Late one night few years ago, a bat
tered jalopy with two hilarious couples
pulled in. One youth jumped out, swag-
gered t" the court office.
Couple cabins for tonight. mister?"
Young squinted at the license plates. which
carried - as do all in the Blue Grass state
the county name. In this case, it was the local
county.
Sorry" Young shook his head "We only
cater to folks passing through"
The youth scowled, started back for his car.
Suddenly he turned.
Say! You weren't thinking there was any,
thing funny about us, were you?"
Young was too polite to say what he
thought.
The young man continued, Because if you
were" - he showed fist in pocket - we we're
married today. All four of u.s. got my GER
tificate right here. DO you want to take
look at it,
Young looked. then apologized Take
Wigwams four and five" he said, land for
honeymooners, half rate tonight"
The problem so neatly solved for Young on
that occasion is seldom cleared up 50 easily.
And it's no small problem. Many auto-court
operators meet up with it two or three times
night 1t may be nuisance to you, too, if
you're driving one of the thirty-odd million
cars which will tour our national highways
this summer
Surest Yardstick
ODDLY perhaps. this matter of respectability
is the one big question mark facing the indus
try today. And respectability is the surest
yardstick motorist can use in choosing a
motel. A decently run establishment always
assures cleanliness good service and fair
prices.
A place that goes in for what is called the
"hot-pilow trade" is generally lacking in all
these qualities, regardless of how attractive
1t may look from the outside. Inspectors from
AAA and the big motor court associations
find this true in case after case.
Everybody connected with the auto-court
business realizes the crucial Importance of
responsibility. Many motor court operators
refuse to rent to any occupants of cars from
their own counties. Some draw the line at

County Heads Bestow
.zoning Favor on Shaw
After Adjournment
By John v. Homer

In an explosive finale to their
two-year terms, the Republican,
dominated Montgomery County COM
missioners yesterday bestowed prize
zoning favor on Lacy Shaw, a leader
Of the Democratic organization
headed by E. Brooke Lee.
Their action, which came after
formal adjournment, was denounced
by Brooke Johns. president, and
Oliver w. Youngblood, both Republi-
cans. 1t represented reversal of
action taken three weeks earlier.
Gathering informally after their
regular meeting, the commissioners
voted 3 to to rezone from resi-
Dental A to commercial D a strip
of land in the exclusive Meadowood
development on Colesville road. The
rezoning was recommended by the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, Of which Mr..
Lee is member, but was rejected
December 81 after protests were filed
by scores of area residents. It was
reported unofacially that service
station will be built on the lot.
Jamison Offers Motion.
Yesterday, Charles H. Jamison,
lone Democratic commissioner and
a member Of the Lee-Shaw organ
ization, told his associates that he
was absent in December when they
voted on Mr.. Shaw's application and
that he wanted his vote recorded
in favor Of the petition.
He moved to rescind the previous
action. The motion was seconded
by George c. (Ace) Esworthy, a
who abstained from vot-
ing December 81. These two and
Commissioner Wesley I.
Sauter voted to rescind, while Mr..
Johns and Mr.. Youngblood voted
negatively.
Then Mr. Jamison moved that the
Shaw application be approved. 1t
was, by the same lineup.
Calls Action Unfair.
Mr.. Johns branded the reversal
the worst thing that has been done
in the whole "a months Of our serv-
ice as commissioners" He accused
Mr.. Jamison Of playing politics for
and with the Democratic organiza-
ton in the hope Of getting himself
elected sheriff.
Mr.. Johns said 1t was unfair and
improper to rezone the property for
MIR. Shaw when the commissioners
had rejected similar applications
from others.
The question Immediately arose
whether the action, taken after ad-
journment, was legal. Mr.. Young
blood said he would ask an opinion
from F. Barnard Welsh, board at
torney.
