The modern motor court owner
sees red when you do that.

you want to refer to the place

But don't call them cabins"
Billions Invested Today.
"I'll tell you," said one motor
court owner. THE word cabins
dates back to the time when this
business was not a business, but
just a couple of shacks along a
highway.
To-day, billions of dollars are
invested in good. modern, up
to-date accommodations. This
is big industry. We have out
grown the ramshackle, hit-and-
miss kind of business that the

word cabins represents. Ma
turally. We don't like the word
cabins"
He paused, and then shook his
head.
And yet, you'd be surprised at
how many people ask me
whether they can rent a cabin.
Now, I ask you, does this place
look anything like a cabin?"
The answer is no. 1t looked
like a palace, in contrast.
Compare With Hotel Rates.
The average new motor court
has reasonably good archi-
lecture. It is clean. It is at
tractive from the highway. And
it's rates are comparable to hotel
rates.
Don't expect to get cheap rent
at a good, well-kept motor court.
Your room probably will cost as
much as a hotel room of similar
character. The motor court
owner has something to sell, but

in popularity of the automobile,
it was inevitable that accommo-
dations geared to the specific
needs of highway travellers
would spring up again"
More Numerous in Virginia.
Washington area motor courts
are more numerous in nearby
Virginia than in nearby Mary
land. Within a 20-mile radius,
Maryland has about 25, while
Virginia has almost so.
Most of the nearby Maryland
centers are on Routes /. 240 and
301, while most of Virginia's are
on Routes l, so, 90 and 211.
Most nearby Maryland motor
courts are near College Park,

changes of direction, which
cannot at present be done very
satisfactorily.
"The advantage Of knowing
with certainty which islands
are going to be affected by an
approaching hurricane needs
no emphasis" the delegates
went on record as saying,
"Those which are going to be
affected will be able to make
full preparation and have time
to organize emergency ser
vice, while those who know
that are going to be passed
need not lose valuable time
and dislocate industry by max
ing unnecessary preparations"
Stressing the need for uni
formity in time schedules for
making meteorological obser-
vations, the meeting recon-
mended action by Regional
Commission Nv of the World
Meteorological Organization
to bring about such unifor-
nifty.
The Subj commission was
equally emphatic in its opin-
, 1951-06-20

ion that 24-hour services were
essential to an effective and eff
tlcient hurricane warning sys-
tenn. Such services should be
IN operation throughout the
hurricane season from June Is
to October Is, and the meeting
urged Caribbean Governments
to make the necessary arrange
ments for the establishment of
round-the-clock circuits for
receiving and sending mes
sages during the hurricane
season at Antigua, Martinique,
Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Barba-
dos and Trinidad. 1t was also
felt that receiving stations at
st. Martain, St. Eustatius, St.
Vincent, Dominica and Gren-
ada would be highly desirable.
, 1951-06-20

suitable radio receiving sets.
At this meeting, E. H. Marx,
of the United States Weather
Bureau, submitted a paper on
Radio Receivers A aboard
Small Craft" The meeting
then agreed that the Sub-Com
mission, using the facilities of
the Central Secretariat of the
Caribbean Commission, would
obtain and make available to
territorial governments h e
technical information required
in relation to broadcast cover
age, and the receivers neces-
sary to permit the various gov
ernments to take appropriate
action.
The meeting NOTED with
great satisfaction the fact
that a rawinsonde station was
b eng established by the
French Government at Quad
eloupe. This action was taken
in accordance with another
recommendation of the Mar
Unique Meeting, and the Sub
Commission expressed the
hope that the establishment Of
a similar station at Barbados
would not be long delayed. 1t
was pointed out that the me-
neurological forecasters were
very seriously handicapped by
the absence of Information
which would be provided by
these two stations.
Delegates mentioned two i'm
portant aspects in which the
Barbados and Martinique sta
tions would be of great help.
With such Information, they
stated, it would be possible to
predict the formation of hur-
ricanes earlier, thus enabling
better warnings to be given,
and, further it would be posi-
bic to forecast the path of the
hurricane with far greater &C
curacy and give advice of

Described by delegates as a
highly successful session"
the Meeting considered in de-
tail recommendations for the
installation of additional Me

the area, the adequacy of com
munications, the collection of
weather reports from ships,
the need for uniformity in

Among the recommended
tons made at this meeting was
one for the installation of an
adequate "Radiowind" obser-
walton network in the Eastern
Caribbean "since the routine
observation of winds at high

efficient forecasting Of hurri-

It was proposed also that OBJ

stations, such as those of air
lines, should be made avail
able to all meteorological cen
tres by incorporating them in
the weather broadcasts made
by Station WEEK (New Or
