guests on a tour sponsored by the
Carolina Motor Club.
Fontana, nestled down among
3,300-foot mountains, was one OF
the brightest spots in a 50O-mile
tour, which also introduced spec
tacular scenery along the Blue
Ridge Parkway.
With q wealth Of material to
consult, firSt-time visitors among
the AAA personnel already were
acquainted. in theory, with the
facilities they found at Fontana
and the moderate prices, the in
formality, the availability of rec
reation. But the experience ot
going there makes this deep i'm
preston: One doesn't recommend
Fontana solely. for vacation life
in the village. The country
traversed in getting there-lofty
mountains, deep gorges and vast
stretches Of forest-can be ever
more memorable than the stay
itself.

Asheville as a gateway, the mo-

is by way of Knoxville, Tenn, with

Fontono Vacations Are Easy on the Budget

That statement oversimplifies
this self f-contained resort town in
western North Carolina, the one
time iva construction camp that
became q vacation Shangri-la q
few years after the war ended.
Gone now are the mammoth

particular Saturday had members
OF the party buzzing about un-
heard-of bargains.
But the busiest place in the
whole layout is the registration
building. With a spacious lounge,
a library, recreation rooms and
the registration desk, it operates
virtually around the clock. And it
is to this building that arrivals
follow the yellow line" to be as
signed quarters.
On registering, guests are given
a map Of the village and a key,
and set out to find their cottage

have the privilege of residing on
Honeymoon Row." high on the
mountain on a street formally
known as Shuckstack road.
Cottages are Of various sizes
and equipment, containing a sit
ting room and one. two or three
bedrooms. Each has an electric re-
frigerator and some have kitchens.
A lodge is available for those
wishing hotel-type accommoda-
tionS.
No Tipping-As to the econ
omy of a Fontana Village vaca-
ton, one of the purse-saving ad-
vantages comes from complete
disinterest in tipping. 1t is not
banned and stray tip would not
necessarily be refused. But the
tipping practice has made little or
no impression on the mountain
folk. Another practice favoring
low-budget vacationing is the
management policy of reducing
rentals for family or a group Of
friends for each week Of their
stay, up to four weeks.
Rated as moderate by present
vacation standards, the specific
rentals for a cottage with cooking
facilities are: For two persons, So
daily and $43 the first week; for
three persons, $3.50 and $50; for
four, $13 and $73; for five and six.
SIT and SGT.
These are summer rates. which
go into effect June Is. Without
cooking facilities, cottage rentals
are a dollar or two less. A budget
OF 81 a day is ample for the cafe
terra meals.
Boat rentals are comparable.
with three-paSsenger craft avail
able for So a day; six-passenger
boats for 1925. Outboard motors
may be rented by the hour or at
81 to SIS a day.
Fills Up Fast-If Fontana has
any critics among the thousands
who seek its informal type of
recreation each year, their COM
plant appears to center on lack
OF swimming facilities. Plans have
been made, but as yet there is no
pool. And swimming in the lake,
fed by the Tennessee River, is not
encouraged. 1t is too deep and,
several feet below the surface, is
cold enough even in midsummer
to induce cramps.
Visitors also have to content
themselves with miniature golf
play rather than a nine-hole
course.
But such omissions as these are
not the real drawback to Fontana.
The main trouble, as disappointed
applicants will tell you, is that
there is not enough overnight
housing. 1t can take care of 1900
guests at time. but fills up fast
when school vacations free fami-
lies for their summer trip. This
year promises to be no exception.

URUAPAN. Mexico.-Paracutin,
Mexico's baby volcano. Is putting
on q fiery new show. belching
new wealth into Mexico's scenic
IWeSt-central area.
| The spectacular volcano, more
than $500 feet high, was born
nine years ago as an unirnpres-
sive earth crack in the middle of
a cornfleld near this colonial
town in the State OF Michoagan.
Paracutin's latest outburst is
drawing streams Of tourist cars
along the highway from Mexico
City to Guadalajara. Once again
planes are taking OF from the
capital day and night to carry
sightseers and photographers over
the impressive scene.
| Hardly had the news broken
that iParacutin had entered an
other phase Of intensive activity
when the area was thronged with
new hordes Of tourists. Few ever
before had seen an active volcano.
The story Of Paracutin is one
lof those sagas Of apparent mis-
fortune, that often have turned
out to be disguised bonanzas in
the history of Mexico.
On the morning Of February
20. 1913, sDionisio Pulido. a Micho-
agan farmer, was plowing his
corn patch when he saw q small
crack in the field. A thin wisp of
smoke rose from the cracked
earth.
i Pulido recalled q series Of earth
quakes which were felt through
out the state q few days before.
He rushed to the village to warn
his neighbors.
Later in the day, awed villagers
edged near the field to watch the
smoking flssure open wider. At
10 o'clock that night, a geyser
of lava, ashes and dust suddenly
issued from the cornfield with q
deafening belch. and the world
had a new volcano.
Ten weeks later, the "baby" had
built o smoking cone 1,100 feet
high. Pulido's cornfield and his
village disappeared. except for the
