Michigan's Northern Peninsula
Attracts Country's Sportsmen
Sportsmen from all over the coun- Fishermen net some of the largest
try find their way each year across
the bottleneck of Michigan, the
Straits of Mackinac, into the prime-
val beauty of Michigan's northern
peninsula.
Thousands of cars daily cross the
channel of inter-lake shipping on
one of the state's five ferries where
the cool fresh breezes from the inland
lakes brush lightly across their faces
in welcome relief of the summer's
burning sun.
Visit Locks
Many of the travelers make their,
way directly along the paved highway'
bordered by cedars and northern
pines to the spot of Michigan's first
settlement, Sault Ste. Marie, where
they visit the greatest locks in the
world, where more tonnage passes
each year than passes through the
Panama, Suez, and Kiel canals com-
bined. Although strict military pre-
cautions are enforced on the canal
during the war, tourists may still hire
a boat for a day's trip through the
locks.
rainbows in the country in the rapids
located between the American and
Canadian Saults and Lake Superior
whitefish with potato chips make up
one of the most popular dinners of
the locality.
Michigan's 'Niagara'
Sixty miles from t«e Sault one
may catch the Toonerville Trolley
which followed by a boat ride and a
hike leads one to the site of Michi-
gan's Niagra, the Tahquamenon
Falls. Entirely uncommercialized by
man, the falls are located in the
heart of the northern forests.
Iron and copper mining shafts rise
picturesquely from the ground as one
approaches the region of Marquette,
Caluinet, and Houghton at the foot
of the Keewenaw peninsula. Broad
hard surfaced gravel roads, winding
over rolling land through thick for-
ests make the ride through Kenwe-
naw exceedingly pleasant. At the end
,of the trip, the log barricade around
old Fort Williams and the crystal
clear water of Eagle Harbor fits well
into the title of God's Country.

World Of Tomor
Island To Shoe
By ELIZABETH M. SHAW
Tired feet will again wend their
weary ways through jostling crowds
and artistic splendor as the tall state-
ly 700 foot Trylon and bubble-like
Perisphere and San Francisco's Gol-
den Gate reign for the second year
over the coastal expositions to the
east and the west.
Major changes in the eastern fair
will probably center around the La-
goon of Nations upon which colorful
fireworks accompanied by dramatic
music played to the enjoyment of the
crowds which gathered to witness the
spectacle each night last year.
Finns To Exhibit
Finland alone among the Scandin-
avian nations has promised her sup-
port of the second year of the Fair
-De~nmark, Norway and Sweden
having withdrawn early from the
exhibit. The Communist worker will
no longer stand high over the building
of the Soviet republic as piece by
piece the star, arm and the head of
the man have been dismembered.
Most of the other nations have
pledged their support, however, and
visitors will still see Italia printed
above the waterfalls, the Netherlands
building with its colored glass murals,
the French pavilion with its dining
rooms overlooking the lagoon where
the best of French pastries are served
while diners watch the fireworks glow
at night.
Welcome was the report that the
little Douse of Jewels would still oc-
cupy its place along Constitution Mall
where millions of dollars worth of
diamonds, rubies and emeralds glit-
ter before excited eyes of onlookers.
Fine silver pieces will also be display-
ed by the leading jewelers of the
country in this tiny House which at-
tracted so much attention.
Futurawna Scheduled
As we remember how our lounge
car driver played "East side, west
side, all around the town" on his
car horn last year, we notice that the
Society for the Preservation of Bar-
ber Shop Quartet Singing has asked
for a display during the second year
of the exhibit.
General Motors Futurama promises
to be as popular this year as it was
last even though a prominent New
Yorker said that the miniature world
of the future was not scientific. If we
are wise when we go to the fair this
year, however, we will rush to the
north Corona Gate before the doors
open at 9 a.m. and make the build-
ing entrance before the crowd gat-
hers and save a lot of standing in the
hot sun.
Popular also will be the Ford run-
way where footsore peo'ple rest as
they ride around in the newest mo-
dels, the Firestone building where
automobile tires are made each day,
and the Westinghouse exhibit in
which the tunnel through the water-
b.

falls seems particularly refreshing on,
a hot day.'.
One million volts of electricity will
strike a miniature perisphere each
half hour in the General Electric
building, producing an almost blind-
ing streak of lightning which is fol-
lowed by a colorful series of designs
produced by electricity. Another part
of the electrical show includes the
House of Wonders where flying car-
pets, balls suspended in mid-air and
other fascinating phenomena meet
the eye.
The climax of many a day at the
fair will end with a visit to Billy
Rose's "Aquacade" where world
famous swimmers and divers form
intricate designs in a darkened
lagoon, their presencehbeing noted
only by their colored phosphorescent
caps which glow in the darkness.
Pacific Pageant Panorama
The pageant of the Pacific, situa-
ted on a man-made island in San
Francisco Bay beneath the Golden
Gate Bridge, is a panorama of exotic
towers, lagoons and colorful build-
ings. Murals, bas-reliefs and olive
trees lend enchantment to the scene.
Exhibits this year will include those
of the British Empire, Hawaii, South
American republics, France and the
Netherlands. An A.erican Indian
exhibit dominates the U.S. Federal
building. Conspicuous on the Gayway,
amusement area, are the Wine Tem-
ple, Streets of all Nations and Sally
Rand's Nude Ranch.
Colorado Open
To All Tourists
Myriad Of Entertainments
Entice Traveller
Hunting, fishing, dude ranching,
all summer sports, spots of unusual
historical and natural interest and,
above all - unparalleled scenery:
that's what Colorado has to offer the
summer tourist of 1940.
Snow-clad mountains, spreading
plains, clear blue lakes and sparkling
streams have made this beautiful
western state an ever-popular mecca
for summer vacationists.
Its capital city, Denver, is an in-
teresting place in itself. A city of wide
tree-lined avenues and spacious parks
Denver nestles just far enough away
from the Rocky Mountains so that a
magnificent view of the mountains
unfolds from the top floors of its
leading hotels. The top step leading
up to its imposing capitol building
stands exactly 5,280 feet or one mile
above sea level.
The region immediately surround-
ing Denver also holds attractions for
tourists. The rapidly growing sugar
beet industry centers about the town
of Brighton; factories there attract
hundreds of visitors each year. Near
Golden, 20 miles west of Denver, is
Lookout Mountain, site of Buffalo
Bill's grave, and a spot affording a
fine view of the Rockies. Nearer the
capital is an amazing outcrop of
red rock; actually named "Red Rock"
this spot affords excellent conditions
for amateur mountain climbers, as
well as another of Colorado's amazing
views.
By B. ELMER (The Old Wrangler).1
Travel by train, plane or auto, this
summer all the roads will lead to the
West and in the West are magnifi-
cent national parks, sanctioned and1
established by our government so
that the great natural beauty of the
United States might not all be mowed
down to make way for civilization.
Moreover, out there is calm' and
quietude; no black-outs, no dictators'
invading armies-just wild, untamed
nature and some of the most sepetac-
ular scenery that this sphere of ours
has to offer.
A whole summer could be spent in
Yellowstone Park without seeing
everythiing thoroughly, but specially
arranged tours afford the tourist a
visit to some of the more famous
sights in three or four days. Of course
it is possible to drive your own car
through and one may also pitch a
tent or put up at one of the lodges
or hotels, and thus spend as much
time as is available.
Picturesque Canyons
But other than Yellowstone, which
is undoubtedly the greatest of Parks
and offers more in interest and re-
creation, the other Parks have inter-
esting features which are quite uni-
que and no tour of the country is
complete without some of them.
The Northwest has its geysers and
hot springs, but the canyons of the
Southewest are not equalled any-
where in the world for their rugged
beauty, their rainbow hued massive-
ness or grotesque formations.
Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon
National Parks are literally a fairy-
land of color, etched and chisled by
beauty-creating genius of erosion
into color-saturated rock layers.
Rocky Mountain National Park in
Colorado, the land of snow-capped
peaks, miles above sea level, offers
a real healthfully invigorating va-
cation for the city-weary or the class-
weary student.
Highest Falls At Yosemite
Yosemite National Park in Cali-
fornia is chiefly remarkable as a
huge valley carved years ago from
the granite sides of the Sierras by the
ancient glaciers. Here is found the
highest falls in the world, the Yose-
mite Falls, tumbling from a height
oT 2,565 feet.
Distinctly apart from the physical
beauty, the wild life abundant in all
the Parks, protected by the govern-
ment, offer many humorous and in-
teresting experiences for the traveler.
Who has not heard of the antics of
the black bears of Yosemite, enter-
ing the unwary tourist's tent at night
upsetting all the provisions, and trot-
ting off with a bag of sugar? There
are a few buffalo, deer and birds of
all species. Fishing is permitted in
some of the streams, and is unequal-
led, the stocks being, replenished by
1 the government.
So much for the fauna, the flora is
also luxuriant in some of the parks.
Redwoods, pines, firs and all of the
common trees literally cover the
slopes of many of the mountainous
Parks. Flowers growing ten feet from
the foot of a glacier are no rarity.
Particularly in the Southwestern
rado, is the gateway to Rocky Moun-
tain National Park, where dude-
ranching, hunting and fishing can
be had for the asking. Big Thomp-
son Canyon and Estes Park are
Parrs, flowers of the gentlest beauty tural enjoyment, and wish to leave
and most vibrant 'hues grow in pro- the smoke-laden atmosphere of the
fusion. Not to mention the carefully city, just "go West, young man" and
kept beds and gardens that the ran- breathe in some of the best ozone
gers and Park employes tend. within the borders of the United
So, if you are looking for sheer na- States!
