First Of all, more people do
seem to have the cash to put into
vocations. The main point Is that
they have more time for them.
White collar workers as well as
skilled and semiskilled labor have
for a decade or more been winning
longer periods of paid vacations,
The general practice is for en-
ployers to require that vacations
be taken. Few industrial plants
and business permit employees to
work a full So weeks year. with
double pay for an unused yoca-
ton. So the workers have a
choice of staying home or going

Enforced Vacations-The resort
industry. under the heavy de-
mand, has been suffering from
"dislocation. And that is one
reason why various tourism in
terests are trying to break down
the habit Of vacationing only in
July and August. It's beneficial,
although the public is learning to
appreciate the new" vacations
of spring and fall. But even as
this goes on. an upsetting factor
has entered the picture. It Is the
factory shutdown.

in most resorts.
"Journeying vacationists viii
make shorter trips and shorter
stays. One week from home vaca-
ton trends are gaining favor rap
idly. Already there is a definite
lessening in long-distance family
touring. These trends, in the opin-
ion of resort officials. give promise
of favoring State and localized re-
sorts.
"A reversion back TO the elegant
days of the family vacation is SUBJ
stantiated from nearly all areas by
noticeable large increases in the
number Of inquiries and reserva-
tions from vacationers who plan
to have children accompanying
them. A late survey indicates
that family group vacations will
increase so per cent over last sea-
son. Children's camps are not
booked nearly as heavily as last
season."

Why the Crowds?-The prewar
generation of travellers has cause
to puzzle once or twice a year over
the crowding up Of domestic vaca-
ton facilities. The swonderment
usually is inspired by the neces-
sity of planning vacations early.
1t didn't used to be that way. And
the cause is often dismissed as due
to an era of high, well-paid en-
ployment, plus the fact that Amer
ica s population has grown and be-
come more vacation conscious.
Those factors are only part Of
the answer. And the oid-time va
