BY GWLADYS BOWEN Sufi Wrtltr. The Oromn IT'S vacation time, and the open road beckons to resorts and parks in the United States and in neighboring couninei to the north and south. To bring the motorist the fullest enjoyment of his trip, the Oregon State Motor associa tion ha compiled a list of sug gestions that should be studied with more than casual interest. The first DO have your car checked thoroughly by an ex perienced mechanic before start ing on a trip, precludes tire trouble or more serious diffi culties along tlie way. Hurrying motorists are the bane, not only of motor clubs nd other drivers, but them elves. Certainly, there is no personal enjoyment and little scenic absorption for the motor ist who boasts he can make San Francisco in 24 hours, or Chi cago in three days flat. A forest ranger, lecturing to a party of tourists on the north rim of the Grand Canyon, told of one woman who had visited the park the preceding vear a typical devotee of the "hurry up" school. Utility Items Needed "She said she had seen Bryce canyon. Zion national park and the north rim in three days. Well, she may have driven from one of those places to the other two in that length of time, but she certainly didn't see them." Travelers who can manage it have pleasanter vacations when they fit the area chosen to the season. Naturally, the desert country is more inviting in the fall, winter or spring, and the high plateau country and moun tain roads more enjoyable in summer. People who appreciate wild flowers should remember that they decorate the desert in spring, the mountains in summer. L. R. Knepper, manager of the touring department of the Oregon Motor association, marks road map for a pros pective tourist. Tour books contain strip maps and other valuable information for motorists taking long trips. Points of historic interest along the way are also pointed out. Selection of equipment is the downfall of many motorists. Veteran motorists advise against "gadgets" and concentrate on utility items. A flashlight is a must, and there are occasions when a red flare is essential Tow rope and chains should always be included, plus cleans ing tissues, drinking cups and thermos bottles. A debatable but often handy item is a light traveling iron for clothes rejuvenation. Nature students should certainly include bird books and wild flower guides. Experienced photographers have long since learned not to store films or cameras in the glove compartment the hottest spot in the car. The back seat, or a spot behind the driver's seat, is recommended for heat sensitive films. Do's crd Don is of T'o'orinq 1. DOhBTeyour -ar checked. 2. DO work out driving shifts to avoid fatirme. 3.

The fisherman and hunter may be interested to know that several of the better restau rants in the Western states where fish and game are plenti ful in season make a specialty of cleaning and cooking the fish one has caught, or the birds one's party has shot and serving them at a game dinner. This custom is especially advertised through South Dakota and Montana and has long been a practice during the hunting season at Sun Valley. Highways on each coast are good, and the farther east a tourist drives the better the roads become reaching their zenith in Virginia's four-lane boulevards, with beautiful land scaping all along the way. Speed Limits Posted Each state has its own speed limit, posted conspicuously just inside each state line, with most adhering to tiie 50-miles-per-hour limit, a few 60. Augment ing the U. S highway markers are the state markers. Main highways throughout the coun try are marked with center line stripes, with more-or-less simi lar cautions designating curves or hills. Most states have the double line-highway markers as cautions for passing within specified areas a few have roadside signs for this purpose. Signs cautioning "slow" mean what they say. Better still are the California highway markers cautioning a certain speed on curves and hills. They definitely mean what they say. Observ ing speed regulations through towns, at school and railroad crossings and especially stop ping for school busses are traf. fic regulations the motorist i would do well to observe, i We live in a wonderful coun try see it by automobile. But ; heed suggestions given by ex I perts on motoring, and see it 1 safely. LOST Man's sport jacket July FOR SALE In Heppner. Duplex 4 at Lexington.
