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. DO watch road signs for
state regulations.
4. DO remember that cour
tesy pays big dividends.
5. DO plan an alternative
overnight stop in case.
6. DO get road maps for
each state; study them.
7. DO eat lightly at midday,
carry fruit snacks.
(. DO have an auto robe
and pillows for reMxing.
9. DO pack intelligently,
keep flashlight handy,
10. DO remember time lone
changes, reset your watch.
11. DO check ahead to see if
pets may be accommodated.
1. DON'T rlsn a schedule
tl-at's 'n"lei'?le.
2. DON'T ior.ore motor club
augers ions.
3. DON'T pas up local tips
on sHe trips.
4. DON'T lpave U. S. with
out ir.tificetion.
5. DON'T forget easily
cashed travelers' checks.
6. DON'T ma!:e mctor court
reservations too early.
7. DON T plan trips outside
U. S. without road data.
8. DON'T forget automobile
reii- ration certificate.
6. r - N'T take harcMo-laun-c..T.
unseasonable cloth

or car with unnecessary
items.
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

Why Fret And Stew These Warm Days?
You can enjoy good wholesome meals without the discom
fort of cooking oyer a hot stove--if you make the right se
lection of foods.
. Fresh, crisp, vitamin-bearing vegetables and fruits
for salad materials, combined with wholesome
lunch meats from our market will form the basis of
a good substantial meal which you can top out
with pie, ice cream, cake, or other dessert dishes
all from our stocks.
But if you insist on a big juicy steak or roast, you sure can
get them here, as well as many other cuts of choice meats.
