BY JACQUES FUTRELLE,
The Stars Travel Editor

One OF the oldest faces in
the expanding do-it-yourself
picture is the making Of vaca-
tion arrangements. It still ID
the Nations booming pastime,
particularly when summer nears
and the automobile awaits only
the ignition keg to release the
willing horses Of transportation.
The vast majority Of recrea.
tional travel by Americans to-
day is by car. and arrangements
are simple, brief and often in-
formal. 1t lends itself readily
to the serve-yourself trend.
After the area or the spot has
been selected, the planning con-
sists of little more than having
the car checked over and pick
ing up some highway maps.
which nearly every gas station
can supply. There's packing. OF
course, and closing up the house.
which includes such little chores
as stopping the milk deliveries
and the daily newspaper.
These duties attended to, the
family strikes out. More often
than not, motoring l1omads
catch their food and lodging DO
they find it and when the spirit
moves. Only when their plans
call for a certain hotel or &C
commodations in vastly popular
areas. such as the national
parks, have they even bothered
to write for reservations in adj
vance.
Vacations Have Changed
In pre-auto days, when the
world was slower paced and
Americans were less pressed for
time, there were few choices In
transportation. Vacatio rers
went by train or boat-or span
of horses. Vacations for those
generations were q matter Of
making o beeline for . place
