1 JJEPFORD IAIL TRTBU1JE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1932. PAGE FIVE TOURIST TRAVEL 'VALUE STRESSED IN C. C. Representatives Contacting Visitors Are Given In formation On Southern Oregon's Scenic Spots The value of tourist travel to southern Oregon and the importance of accurate Information to out-of-Ijtate motorists were stressed at the two sessions yesterday afternoon and evening or the tourist contact school, sponsored by the Medford Chamber of Commerce. Representatives of leading resorts and scenic spots In this section provided a large volume of information or value to all per sons coming in oontact with tourists visiting southern Oregon. Short talks were presented by well Informed men who are In constant touch with out-of-state travel, point ing out the many points of scenic Interest In this section which, tn many cases, are not appreciated as deeply by local people as they should be. Local Travel Cut. Interesting travel Information was set forth by permanent Ranger Don O. Fisher, Crater Lake national park, who revealed that attendance totals at Crater lake are not up to marks of lost year. This decrease Is not at tributed directly to a depression In out-of-state totals, which Ranger Fisher said are nearly up to last ivear, but rather to a marked decline to local and Oregon travel. The de cline la somewhat attributed to later opening of the park this year and Inclement weather prevailing during April and May, following one of the most severe winters on record The number of people entering the park for the first time, or first en tries, are not far behind 1931, but the marked difference Is seen In the total of re-entries, those visitors who make repeated visits to the park dur ing the course of the season. Totals for June for Oregon, re-entries are far less, meaning In one Instance that residents of Klamath, Jackson and other southern Oregon counties are not making Crater lake trips with the regularity of other years. However, said Ranger Fisher, July and August are expected to be ex ceptionally heavy months and it la possible the season total will equal that of 1931. Rotary Takes Interest. C. T. Steward, representing the Medford Rotary club, told of work being done by the club to stimulate tourist business In this section by efforts of the club In erecting at tractive signboards in northern Cali fornia, gaining the attention of all ' motorists entering Oregon. He stress ed particularly the scenic and recrea tional resources of this region as be ing of unestlmable value to tourists, often resulting In the permanent lo cation of out-of-state visitors. This Is not only due to scenic resources, but to. ideal lMng conditions, in cluding climate as an Important ad junct. He pointed out southern Ore gon as alive with romance of pioneer days, often found to be a great tour ist attraction. C. H. Ounther, Portland, sales man ager of the Oregon State Motor asso ciation, in a systematic manner an alyzed values of the tourist crop and the Importance of local people con tacting visitors to be fully equipped with information, accurately given, directing them to southern Oregon spots where true recreation can be found. In this respect, the region Is fortunate In the presence ot nu merous lakes and mountain streams. Ideal for the camper and the recrea tion 1st. Many fiesorta Represented. Questions, usually asked In con nection with resorts, were given and answered. The Oregon Caves were represented by George Sabln; Dia mond lake, J. A. Perry; Lake o' the Woods, Glen Fabrlck; Crater lake, Don C. Fisher and Ernest Roetel; fishing Information, Bert Noblltt. Although the two session, with William Clemenson as chairman, were constructive In every detail the expected number of Medford and southern Oregon service operators, hotel men, restaurant men, business men and all persons coming In con tact with out-of-state motorists, were not present, losing the opportunity to learn rates of all resorts, recrea tional values of each, correct dis tances, hunting and fishing Information.
