He remained at home because

Foctors in Tronsition
The growth Of today's vacation
can be traced to many factors.
With the Industrial Revolution
there was an increased power for
labor unions and a supplementary
increased realization that man
needed one period a year for
physical and mental relaxation.
During World War II labor was
scarce. Companies vying for help
offered extended vacations, vaca-
tion pay, and other benefits.
These became firmly entrenched

Of that great American pastime--

Mr.. Lancaster had reserved a

But by this time the space had
been snapped up by someone on

The same day the United States

Nieuw Amsterdam left New York

Records are being broken almost
daily by liners and planes going in
virtually all directions, rejecting
the tremendous growth of the va

More people are taking longer
vacations, travelling further, and
seeing more places.
This has been comparatively
recent development. Before World
War II, nearly 10 per cent of the
world was inaccessible to the tour

Also before World War II, the
three-week vacation was a rarity.
The four-week vacation was, for

Surprising Year
Even in one short year. the

At the beginning of this year,
people in the travel business were
gloWingly optimistic-in public
about their prospects for a great

about the recession and said they
might break even or not lose too
much.
Now, at mid-year, they have
lifted their heads and are mentally
rubbing their hands in happy sat-
isfaction.
Both international and domes-

been transformed into the evil

But this does not have to be.

methods used in many states are
negative in their approach" Jo-
seph II. Braun, chairman of the
AAA legal advisory committee,
told delegates.
"The primary approach" he
said, "has been to crack down
on the motorist with heavy
emphasis on arrests, prosecu-
tions and license suspensions.
in many instances, no par
ticuiar effort is made to Sc
cure the drivers respect for,
or cooperation with, law en-
fOrcement efforts"
There are several examples Of
this negative approach which
were adopted by state legisla-
lures and administrations last
year, according to Braun.
For instance" he said, "sev-
eral states announced plans to
increase the use of unmarked
police cars and road blocks for
ordinary highway patrol work,
despite the fact that other areas
have abandoned such techniques
after unsuccessful experience
with them"
Other AAA officials pointed
OFT that marked patrol cars
influence motorists TO slow
down and drive more safely,
thus preventing far more acct
dents than unmarked cars.
Another negative approach,
according to Braun, was the
adoption by a number of states
of fixed, absolute speed limits,
permanently written into the
law, and applicable to all high
ways in the state regardless of

varying conditions, weather or
the road.
The proper purpose of speed
limit laws" he said, SIS to ex-
pedite highway travel consistent
ly with prevailing conditions af-
fecting safety. The logical way
to control unsafe speeds is
through flexible speed limits
which allow motorists and en-
forcement officers to take into
account the condition of traffic
and the road, as they vary from
time-to-time and place-to-plaee.
Enforcement of fixed, e.bso-
lutte limits or the use of UNI
marked police cars seldom
have the desired effect of re-
ducing the average speed at
which traffic moves, Braun
points out.
often they have produced the
opposite result and almost in
variably they have lessened gen
eral public respect for the law"
he said.
Braun and his committee be-
lieve that positive approach to
traffic safety can best be
achieved by this three-point pro-
gram:
]. Stop putting major reIi-
ance upon fear of arrest as the
basis for traffic law enforce
ment. States with the most i'm
pressive records in reducing
highway accidents have
achieved these records through
coordinated program of
driver Improvement, traffic
engineering, improved high
way design and enlightened
traffic supervision.
2. Improve driver licensing
procedures so that public Of
ficials can reach anG deal with
the problem driver more eff
fectively.
3. Recognize that public ac-
ceptance, rather than legislative
decree, is the basis for successful
traffic regulation, and that con-
structive leadership is the most
effective force for the promotion
of highway safety.
