Conflict THE MICH! Place --- CA N T fAT TV- To Accent On Domestic -, toms of the boats magnify things.) There are underwater forests and queer; burping mud geysers to serve as surprises. The management always ties nice placards on your bumpers that say "See Silver Springs." It's a pleasant order. See Atlanta Now It's about time then to go to see the Atlantic. You caught a glimpse of it in 'Jacksonville, but there are a lot of off-shore bars and things that get in the way. Down around Day- tona Beach, however, there is noth- ing to stop the big silver-topped rol- lers that come swishing in. There are als&i a lot of beautiful girls, big ho- tels and high prices. The beach, us- ually littered by a plethora of bathers, is also occassionally employed as a race course for bullet-shaped autos. If you're smart you won't go to Miami. The hotels there are even bigger and the prices are higher, and there aren't any Floridans there. Ex- cept for the sunshine and the palms it's no different than Detroit. Or Ann Arbor. If you're smart you'll turn inland to the citrus center around Winter- haven. There are rolling hills there all arranged in neat rows of orange and grapefruit trees. At restaurants you get all the orange juice you can drink with your meals. In the center of the citrus center is the Bok Tower, which is a sort of Baird Carillon set in a semi-tropic atmosphere. Historic Isle Attracts French Riviera Visitor The island of Ste. Marguerite, near Cannes on the French Riviera; is ht- tracting many visitors this year. Here it vas that during the reign of Louis 14th one of the strangest mysteries of French history was lived out for 40 years by the "Man in the Iron STUDENT SUPPLY STORE America Looks At Homeland's Beauties Again Wanderers Of Country Will Find New Sights Within Own Borders The American traveller, or more properly, the American, will stay home this year. Though it may cause him to feel hampered and tied down, he'll have to stay in North or South America, unless he is a war corres- pondent or Ernest Hemingway. Eu- rope and Asia are war continents, and despite the fact that our people are the greatest wanderers and intruders in forbidden places of all times, it looks like we shall stay very much away from the bombs and torpedoes, the spy-suspicious officials and with held visas. Will this be a hardship? Probably, for not only have we sent wealthy tourists journeying to Ritz hotels throughout the Eastern Hemisphere, but on freighters, cattle boats, tour- ist rate liners, or thirty-foot yawls our native sons have gone roaming across the Atlantic or Pacific, whether they had the money or not. But on the other hand it would be pretty funny to look at a map of the Western Hemisphere and say that we'll confine ourselves to domestic travel this year. Docks Won't Be Idle New York's docks won't be idle. South American liners ought to be happy about the whole thing, as should West Coast shiplines plying the Alaska route. Within this coun- try, and north in Canada, railroads and highways will be revealing to many for the first time that there's something more to North America than is to be found in picture post- card views of Niagra Falls. And some may even see the Falls themselves. Since the building of good roads, and the coming of the automobile, something corresponding to the 18th century grand tour has grown up in the United States. Van Wyck Brooks tells swell yarns about Harvard boys dressed as oriental mandarins carous- ing up and down the continent in carriages paid for by the money their New England fathers made on tea and spices in the China trade. Enter the automobile, substitute Mex- ico or Yellowstone for the Acropolis by moonlight or the Tower of London by fog, and there it is, the twentieth century grand tour. Not a tour only for the high income bracketeers, but for all of them, jalopies and limou- sines, young people, old people, kids with dirthy faces staring out at the scenery through the seven windows of a long sedan, vintage of 1925. To a college education is added a Ford or Chevrolet, and enough money for gas across the country. To the scenic beauties of Plattsville, or Po- dunk is added the sight of the Grand Canyon, the redwood forests of Cali- fornia, the lazy expanse of the Miss- issippi, the hills, the mountains, the plains of a country known by so few of its people. Our Ancestors We, our ancestors, have crossed back and forth, have gone where there were no roads, in covered wag- ons, have gone always because we liked being free, because we didn't figure anyone had the right to tell us what to do. We built railroads, clear across the country, we went south and north and all the direc- tions there were to go. Then we hit the edges of the country, and settled down to be self-conscious about our lack of background, and went to Eu- rope for culture, and looked with eyes accustomed to blue hazy for- ests, at stone lions and gondolas, bright shawls and small farms. It was not big, we thought, but it had been there for so long, we were so new. For a long time we worshipped, and had little we called our own, no art, no real tradition. It didn't last. Long before this war, we had looked back at the blue forests, not as many of them now, but ours, and our hills, and our country. Again we traveled back and forth, and up and down, but our eyes no longer looked for a place to put a mill, or a nice spot for a generel store. We looked now for what our country was. We are still looking, and we have a long time yet to look before all of it is known and familiar. Maybe there won't be so much to see in the other countries by the time this is over. Maybe it's good that we're seeing the things here, and that there are so many things to see. GIFT FOR ALL OCCASIONS Lovely costume jewellry; beautiful brass and cop- per ware; Oriental dolls; a t nvl, ft -iv , at Youth Hostels Offer Cheaper WayOf Travel Travel, says the oft-repeated com- plaint, costs too much. No matter, where one goes, the cry is heard, and, it is fully justifiable. Travel is ex-~ pensive. That is why youth hostels came into being. American Youth1 Hostels, a nationwide organization, aims "to help all, especially youth, . . . by providing them inexpensive overnight accomodations in America9 and by assisting them in their travels both here and abroad over bicycle, trails, footpaths and highways."'. Hostels have long been common in Europe, but it is only recently that they have sprung into existence inj this country. They offer young peo- ple cheap housing while traveling and thus enable them to travel more7 and to get a wider knowledge of the different parts of the country. Hostels Help Planning Besides providing overnight ac- comodations which are clean, simple and inexpensive, American Youth Hostels performs the even-greater service of planning and conducting trips. These trips cover virtually every part of North America from Mexico+ to Alaska, and one group even being planned for a journey to Chile. The costs of the various trips range from $95 to $495. An unusual service is offered by the Rolling Youth Hostel, a specially equipped railroad car which is at- tached to trains for long jumps and sidetracked as a headquarters for short jaunts. Three trips are planned for the Rolling Hostel this summer, one east to west and two west to east. The east to west trip will feature stops at Benff, Jasper, Puget Sound, the Grand Canyon and Colorado Springs. The other two will follow approximately the same route. The Rolling Hostel is used in the trans- Canada portion of the trips. On the return journey, the parties will tra- vel by coach during the day and spend nights outdoors or in hostels. Northwest Featured1 A trip through the northwest is also named among 15 different trips planned for the summer of 1940. This journey will feature travel through the Puget Sound district, visits to fishing and lumber centers, mountain climbing and a stop at Mount Rain- ier. The national parks will be visited by a group of hostelers who plan to leave from Northfield, Mass., on a one-month trip. This group will stop at Niagara Falls, then go by bicycle and lake steamer along the "inland seas" to Chicago. From there, the travelers journey through the mid- west to Glacier National Park and south from there to Yellowstone. Then they plan to continue south to Zion National Park and Bryce Can- yon and home via Washington, D.C. and New York City. The Chilean trip will feature, as a starter, a sea voyage through the Panama Canal into the Pacific, then down the coast of South America with many stops at different ports. Skiing in the Andes and a trip through the gorgeous mountain country to the volcano district of Chile will highlight the overland portions of this journey. By J. BASCOMB SLINK a For the tourist who wants a com- plete change of scene and atmos- phere, combined with every modern convenience to which he is accustom-_ ed, Hawaii seems to be the ideal solu- tion. The eight principal islands of the Hawaiian group combine tropical beauty, Asiatic "foreignness," a per- petually warm climate, modernity and accessibility in a way that niakes them one of the most pleasing and interesting places to be found. The worst mistake made by most visitors to Hawaii is that they plan. a stay of only one or two weeks or a month. Of course, one man who re- putedly stopped over between ships from the Orient in 1922 to have his laundry done is still there-this proves, not that laundry service is poor in Hawaii, but that the gentle- man liked it. 18 years might be con- sidered too long for a vacation, but 18 days is certainly too short. Honolulu, the capital of the Ter- ritory of Hawaii, is a city in which one should spend at least two weeks. Its modern office buildings, separated from broad sidewalks by lines of palms, will be pleasant to the eyes of Americans used to soot-darkened edifices of this continent. Trolley buses, smooth-riding and stream- lined, provide swift transportation about the city which is more than 15 miles in length-or the more affluent tourist will find plenty of cars for hire. Climate Ideal The semi-tropical climate of Ha- waii makes itself noticed in Honolulu through the abundance of vivid flow- ers as well as through the mild cli- mate. The early summer months are ideal for a visit, as they include the blooming season of the flowering trees and the weather is then at its best. Many parks lend spots of color to Honolulu, and the buildings of the Civic Center are all set in gardens behind broad lawns. Honolulu has so many distinct dis- tricts that it might well be split up into a variety of little towns or sub- urbs. These sections of the city range from the cool, rainy Nuuanu Valley with its many luxurious homes to the Oriental section which centers about "The River." Streets lined with little Japanese and Chinese shops aid in building up an impression that the visitor is in a little section of Asia. Every tourist, of course, will want to visit Waikiki Beach, the far-famed section of the Waikiki district. The actual district stretches more than a mile, but the beach is divided into little sections. The part popularly known as "Waikiki Beach" is set be- fore a beautiful backdrop of two great hotels which are in turn sil- houetted against tall, green moun- tains. Groves of tall, graceful palms extend to every edge of the sand, of- fering welcome shade to sunburned bathers and surfers. Surfing Is Attraction Surfing is the chief attraction of Waikiki, vying for that title with the constant warmth of the blue water. Reefs, far off shore, cause the long rollers to break in a way which is ideal for the.sport; and smaller reefs and sand bars cause minor "breaks" nearer shore. Everyone-well, everyone who is nyone-in Hawaii surfs, and vaca- tioning tourists generally turn out to be the most ardent fans. The more venturesone spirits among them rent boards at one of the beach clubs or hotels. Their more conservative-and sensible-brethren hire Hawaiian "beach boys" to take them out. Either way, it's a lot of fun-the most thrilling sport imaginable to ride just ahead of the welter of foam at the top of a huge breaker balancing on a narrow fifteen-foot board or bending to whipping spray in an out- rigger canoe. Polo Is Played Other forms of sport are not lack- ing in Hawaii. Polo of an excellent quality is played on most of the is- lands, there are many top-notch golf courses, tennis courts-hard surfaced and clay-abound and football and baseball are played in season. Oahu, the island on which Hono- lulu is located, abounds in scenic beauty. Breath-taking views can be obtained from the mountains in back of the city, and the luxuriant vege- tation makes any drive one of tro- pical loveliness. Among the best known points of interest are the Nuu- anu Pali, where the people of the king of Oahu leaped to their death rather than be captured by invading war- riors from another island.

Eastern Michigan Motorbuses 116 West Huron St. Phone 4209 Michigan Union Phone 2-4431 New England Travel Offers Delicious Food Superb roads, unsurpassed scenery, unmatched hospitality and distinc- tively delicious cuisine make New England the place to vacation this summer. First, there are the good roads and excellent hospitality. They are more or less identical. The contention that the typical New Englander is aloof, introspective and inhospitable is an extreme fallacy. A trip up the Boston Post Road from New York to Boston, or on U.S. 1 from Boston up to Maine or on route 20 from Albany to Pitts- field, to Springfield, to Worcester, to Boston. immediately disproves the contention. For the friendliness of the people is everywhere evident. But if New Englanders were canni- bals and the Wells Fargo the only means of transportation, the exqui- site scenery of the six North eastern- most ,states would still be incentive enough for a vacation there. There is little that can compare to Connec- ticut's rolling hills, to Rhode Island's beaches and harbors, to Massachu- sett's Bershires and crystal seashore, to New Hampshires famed White Mountains, to Vermont's dairy lands and hills, to Maine's rocky coast, deep forests, countless lakes and wholesome pine-tree odor.
