No .Winter Farewell..,;
Springtlmo generally . sounds a
clurlon cull to, the .motorists of
most slates, as they emerge from
a winter of .hibernation,. Insofar
as their motoring activities arc
concerned, and look about for the
first enjoyment of a newborn sea
son of motoring. Summer follows
with an opening up of sylvan re
treats, woodland " landscapes find
lakeside resorts, and autumn drops
like a gaudily painted curtain to
announce the approach of a grand
finale to the touring activities that
have been so enjoyable and color
ful during the entire season. The
putting away of tho car- for the
winter Is ; like , a farowoll to a
playmate who haa spent a most
enjoyable season as guest, host
and an all-around booh to every
whim and Inclination that goes
into tho perfecting of the spring,
summer and autumn ' motoring
months. ,
' In' Oregon it is not a farewell
to such a playmate, 1 it is merely
the opening: of another season in
which thero is, as much onjoy
ment to be had as was presented
by any of the other seasons. Win

ways leading to practically every
point In tho state maintained dur-j Hon of i reaching such, .pastimes
ing the entire year, 'Oregon is
made accessible to motor travel
in the entirety during every sea
son' of the year. It is through
such channels that a much gre tit
er appreciation of the stute Is ac
quired by motorists even to the
point of extension of touting ac

the winter months.
Winter Motoring Alluring.
Jn . the minds of many, winter
touring has allurements tlmt sur
