tions to a more competitive level
with the newer tourist courts.
In the management courses. lee
turers emphasize the value Of
greater service to the guests and
underscore time after time the
necessity of making the guests
more comfortable.
Information on use Of color in
the rooms showing harmony and
contrast evaluations with touch
of psychology means that the
1853 vacationist will be more
welcome and will find more at
tractive accommodations.
In the latest American Auto
mobile Association Directory OF
Accommodations there will be
found 5,918 tourist courts which
they recommend. In 1947, there
were about 2,403.
Uperodine Urged
When the American Motor
Motel Association held it's an
nual convention on May 13 in
Springfield, Mo-, great stress was
placed on upgrading. Experts
told of the use of colors. redec-
Grating. selection of furniture
and other facets of business to
make it possible for tourist courts
to stay in the big push for the
travel dollar.
There were several non-proflt
organizations that release guide
books without cost, showing To-
cation of their members and
briefly describing the accommo-
dations of those members. Most
of them operate on a sectional
basis, but all have one aid in
mind. That is to offer the trav-
cling public the best lodging pos
sible from the physical and moral
points of view.
Checkers inspect these men,
bers at least once a year. Should
a member fail to meet standards,
they are removed from the guide
books.
Where to Write
The larger of these groups,
with the addresses of where the
free guides are obtainable, are
as follows: I

Motorist will find more tourist
courts this year with television.
Some will be found in the rooms;
others have them in the lobbies.
Some will be free; others will
have a coin operation.
For Young and Old
Youngster on the trip will find
more tourist courts with play
equipment to allow the stretch
ing of young muscles and wear
ing off of excess energy. Old
sters will find a greater number
of tourist courts with swimming
pools, for this is an increasing
must" for tourist courts.
The erican Automobile
Association and some of the
non-profit tourist court associa-
tions have a reservation plan for
motorists. When the non-profit
group makes the reservation, a
long-distance call is placed by
the member court to member
court in the next Stop-over town.
The guest pays for the call and
pays in advance for the room in
the next city. The room is held
until the arrival regardless of
the time.
Generally, tourist courts will
hold reservations which are not
paid for in advance until 6 pm.
There are, of course, exceptions.
During the height of the vaca-
ton season, it is best for those
travelling without reservations to
begin turning in along in mid
afternoon, for there will be more
people on the highways this year
and the better tourist court ac-
commodationS will be taken
early in many instances.
Inspect Rooms
Tourists are always invited to
inspect the accommodations be-
fore registering and making an
advance payment. Where large
signs are prominent at the en-
trance of the court showing rates,
the motorist can best look rather
thoroughly into the accommoda-
tions offered at these rates and
check the rooms offered at any
rate, for they will be less apt
to be disappointed.
When in an area with which
the tourist is not familiar, it is
always a good idea to ask for
tourist court and restaurant in
formation from the larger and
more attractive service stations
selling well-known petroleum
products. Highway patrolmen
and police officers are always a
good source of information. But
actually there is little reason to
be "lost" in any area with so
many good guide books avail
able for the asking.
To make the trip more enjoy
able, it is best to figure on $50
to 800 miles per day, which would
allow some time for visiting the
thousands of attractions to be
| found in this great land of ours.
Practically any tourist court can
offer suggestions as to the best
place to eat and the more in
teresting things to see and to do.

From the deck Of the boat the
island visitor gets the first sight
Of the island almost before the
vessel is away from the Mack
inaw City dock. The Grand
Hotel. worlds largest resort
hostelry. high on a bluff along
the south shore Of the island. is
the first landmark sighted-it's
S8O-foot porch and white pillars
a sight to behold as the craft
carries its passengers around the
island to the pier.
From the moment one arrives
on Mackinac Island, there are
sights everywhere. Foremost
among them is old Fort Mack
mac. built by the British in 1880.
On the highest point of the
island Is rebuilt Fort Holmes,
where British soldiers were
trained for the Revolution. Fort
Holmes was rebuilt 20 years ago
after fire had destroyed the
original one.
Until a decade ago, the United
States Army maintained a gar
riSon Of troops at old Fort Mack
mac, but today it Is maintained
in it's original state-for tour
lists who parade across its spa
cious grounds, into the block
houses and other structures
where English and American
soldiers were quartered for mote
than $50 years.
While there is scenic Splendor
everywhere on the island, the
vistas from Fort Mackinac and
Fort Holmes are rare, with a
view to all parts of the island,
out into Lake Michigan and
Lake Huron and across parts Of
Michigan's lower and upper pen
insulaS. Lake vessels, sailing
craft and expensive cruisers ply
the waters of the Straits of
Mackinac in unending lines dur
ing the summer, adding to the
sights to be seen from the lofty
vantage points.
There are many other his
torical attractions on Mackinac
pronounced Mackinaw).
Motorcars are prohibited on
the island, So visitors turn to
horse drawn carriages and self
pedaling cycles Of various types
to get around. :.
One of the "mustS" on q visit
to the island is a carriage trip
around the iSland-a journey Of
about eight miles and of two to
four hours duration.

affirmation is that a Christian the
OlOgy must correspond in emphasis
and proportion with "the faith once
delivered" Much study has been
given to the gift of eternal life as
promised to the early Christians,
and is so prominent in the New
Testament as theme. To-day, talk
about eternal life is hardly more
than a pleasant ingredient in Chris
tlan preaching. 1t is no longer CEN

Christian theology falls apart -
and all the kings horses and all the
kings men cannot put it together
