Japan had, by the summer of
1916, done no more than promise
the golden age of recreational
travel that now is upon us.
Priorities still governed some
types of transportation and
many of the places Americans
longed to go. The tide of gaSo-
line began to flow into civilian
channels. but new cars were,
iii you remember, exceedingly
slow in coming. Train equip
ment had been worn out. New
passenger ships were barely on
the drafting boards, and old
liners had not even been warped
into shipyards for reconversion
from war assignments. The
fleets of fast, reliable trans-At-
lantic planes that whisk Ameri-
cans over the seas today we're
dream stuff.
Vast numbers of resort hotels
in this country, taken over for
the war and with ink on the
Iderequisitioning papers scarcely
dry, were closed for rehabilita-
ton prior to reopening for va
lcationers. Building materials
were channeled into new homes
rather than motor courts. Eu-
rope had food enough only for
a bare existence, none for wish
tors.
Still Some Pinches
The 10 years to the summer of
1856 have wrought exciting
changes, and the world can now
meet the vacation demand.
There are two or three pinches,
however. For one, transatlantic
accommodations-both ship and
plane-are not sufficient for the
great summer migration: United
States national parks, with ia
cilities built for rs million, will
be trying to handle more than
twice that this year: the high
way system is hard put to carry
the millions of motoring vaca-
TONERS on top Of heavy day-to-
day traffic.
Production of automobiles in
these 10 years has, it appears,
overtaken demand, and esti-
mates place the number on the
road today at roughly so mil
lion. Two other estimates give
a fair idea of the number that
will be on the highways in va
cation travel alone during the
summer.
The American Express Co. is
of the opinion that 80 million
Americans = almost half the
population-will take vacations
within the United States during
the year, and that 80 per cent
will do their travelling in the
June-to-September period. AS
Iother statistics indicate about
80 per cent of all United States
vacation travel is by auto, an
average Of three persons per car
would figure out about 8 million
autos always on the vacation
move during the summer.

believes that county extension

He emphasizes that understand
