you don't want to try the hotels,
there are modern motels; and
many Of the towns fine old
homes have been turned into
comfortable tourist homes with
economical rates. The plush mo-
tells run $6.50-$9 nightly per
couple. The better tourist homes
are just as comfortable, and
often cooler. at $3.50 to S. a
couple. On the beaches proper,
the prices are higher. but you
get such extras as sand on the
floor and larger mosquitoes.
In town, there's only one place
for eating, the picturesque Ark,

The answer usually viii be
YES" according to the Pocono
Mountains Vacation Bureau,
which has looked into the bath
ing. boating and fishing facili-
ties among its member resorts.
Water appears to be the top
essential for vacationers any
where, the bureau said, and is
amply provided here in the form
of natural lakes, rivers, ponds,
waterfalls, streams, pools and
springs. To these have been
added 100 or more man-made
pools until even the smallest
guesthouses and housekeeping
cottage colonies have private
pools and access to a half dozen
other bathing, boating or fishing
sites within few minutes drive.
Biggest of the lakes is Lake
Wallenpaupack, in the Northern
Poconos on Routes 507 and U. S.
6. Fifteen miles long and the
largest lake WIDELY within the
State, it has speed boats, sight
seeing cruises, sailing. fishing
and beaches.
Other public lakes large

Of an exaggeration compared
with some vacations. I have heard
boasting about. But the office
worker. especially beyond the age
Of 80, is simply asking for trouble
If he tries it. Maybe disaster.
There is a growing feeling that
the best mentioning plan, espe-
cially for the worker In middle
life and beyond. is not one big
vacation splurge annually, but q
number Of short periods Of re-
Taxation, such as long week ends.
In the case Of professional work
ers, self-employed, q midweek
afternoon helps to break the Sc
quence and ease the tension of
continuous high-pressure occupa-
tions. Realization of some of
these goals may require some
fairly drastic revisions in COM
mercial and industrial practices,
and first Of all, revisions in our
thinking. The idea that q vaca-

The physical educator had the
right idea. He was planning q

despite the fact that physically
he could have endured the more
active one without harm.

Ipswich Shows
18th Century
Hon1esAug.7
IPSWICH. Mass

Every other summer the proud
old town Of Ipswich celebrates
18th Century Day and invites all
who may to come ana see the
assembly Of Americas earliest
homes that line its shaded green's
and twisting lanes.
This is the year. and on August
Z, q bakers dozen Of these 800
year-old houses win be opened to
the public. All Ipswich con-
tributes to the festivities which
include tour Of the houses, ex-
hibitions Of craft and folk art,
old silver and glass, demonstra-
tions Of the early crafts and even
dancing on the green.
Settled In 1888, just four years
after Boston. Ipswich can right.
fully claim the possession Of more
18th century houses than any
other place in the land.
The first Ipswich houses were
"wigwams, huts and hovels,"
built against the hillside near
what is now the town wharf. To
this outpost In the wilderness
came an extraordinary pioneer
group-"men Of good rank and
quality. many Of them having
yearly revenue of large lands In
England"
Among their number were
John Winthrop. jr.. Richard Sal
tonstall. Richard Bellingham
and Samuel Symonds thus Civ
ing Ipswich four of the IL magis-
trates who governed the Bay
Colony. BETTING such distinc-
ton, the ''wigwams, huts and
novels" soon gave way to proud
and beautiful mansions which
stand to this day In Ipswich.
The style and structure Of
these dwellings stem from the
Elizabethan cottages of South
eastern England. But here is
Massachusetts,, because Of q more
rigorous climate. they at once
took on q new American look,
and began a tradition and a
form Of building that f1ourishes
today.

The Washington area vaca-

ocean highway-U. s. Route IT.

over in the vicinity of Whining
ton, N. c.. or Myrtle Beach, S. G.
That is. If he stays within the
legal speed limit.
This is an area OF extremes:
Graceful ante-bellum plantation
homes and tenant farmers
shanties; beautiful gardens and
Washed-out farmland: revivalists'
tents and moSs-covered Colonial
churches.
The Wilmington Myrtle Beach
area also is vacationland for
thousands of Carolinians, both
North and South.
Wilmington, succinctly de-
scribed by its Chamber of Com
merce as 1.-THE Port City of Prog
ress and Pleasure is just that.
A thriving port city ringed by
growing industry, 1t is only a
few minutes drive from a half
dozen beaches.
Wrightsville Beach is perched
somewhat precariously between
the ocean and the sound on a
narrow sand spit. This location
affords q choice for swimmers
between the smooth, lake. like
sound and the surf, which breaks
on bar a couple hundred yards
offshore and rolls in like Waikiki
almost.
Two Fishing Piers
The sound also is favorite
Of water skiers and speed
boaters. Wrightsville has two
fishing piers. and. Of course, the
local folks say fishing is good
always, but as elsewhere, that's
something that depends on the
mood of the fish.
The strands at Wrightsville,
Carolina, Wilmington, Kures,
Fort Fisher and Long Beaches
are all wide and exceptionally
clean, and bathing conditions
are ideal virtually all the time.
The sun season here in the Cape
Fear country is from mid May
until mid-September. though

bored anytime "you all drop by"

Shopping Paradise
The island of Jamaica, worth
a visit for the scenery, climate,
and pleasant facilities alone, is
being promoted as "the most at
tractive shopping center in the
Caribbean" This phase of the.
islands attractions had it's be-
ginning in 1853. when system
Of in-bond, duty-free shopping
was put into effect for tourists.
F. H. Robertson, chairman Of
the Jamaica Tourist Trade De-
yelopment Board, arriving re-
Gently In New York, took occa-
sion to compare in-bond shop
prices there with those In the
United States. Here's a partial
list Of the comparisons he made:
World famous Swiss watches,
waterproof. 81 jewels, 1SK gold.
$4,000 VS.. $500 United States
price.
Swiss watches, calendar auto
matte. lax gold top, stainless
steel back, 1920 VS.. $185 United
States price.

Royal Doulton china, large
Toby jugs, $40 VS.. $3.50.
A brand Of French perfume,
2 ounces, $18 VS.. $42.
Similar savings, according to
Mr.. Robertson, are available in
a wide selection Of bone china.
crystalware, English and Danish
silverware. jewelry. leather goods
and other items. Jamaica's lower
prices are based on the fact that
the island government does not
collect any tax or import duty
on such goods when items are
bought and held In bond for
visitors until they take them on
leaving Jamaica.

out tired and irritated. swapping

Don't Stort Tired
Persons with sedentary occu-

and may suffer serious harm, by
too strenuous q physical vaca-

turn tired and sore, having lost
the benefits which they should
have derived from q sensible
vacation. In the higher age
brackets, too much activity may
bring about heart attacks or
strokes. Aging joints and mus
cles have lost their elasticity and
recuperative power to q greater
or less extent.
A sensible vacation need not
start with a long drive the very
first day. One of the larger
