Overnight accom modations finished as follows: Hotels, about 61 per cent; tourist homes, 20 per cent: tourist camps, 12 per cent; and- summer camps and cot tages. 6 per cent. More than half the tourists report ed they had chosen vacation object ives because of a previous visit or be cause of recommendations of friends, while approximately 10 per cent were Influenced by advertisements. "In the tourist industry." the A. A. A. points out, "as In any other business, the backbone of patronage Is made up of satisfied customers plus advertising to bring a constant stream of new visitors." The extremely high rate of touring mobility Is shown by the fact that approximately 54 per cent prefer to tour over a wide area rather than go to a fixed point and spend the greater part of the vacation there. The northeastern states, compris ing New England and New York, ranked first In popularity, largely because of their accessibility; good roods was the principal reason given 7eres the IBIKfflJR 9ftkmforiwpamiie)i IF you know a leader when you meet one, you'll see the moment you try this sparkling Buick why it's called the out-in-front car of the year. You'll go for the way it goes for you serene, steady, gallant as the figurehead on a buoyant ship you're in for a thrill every time you put it into action. You handle a wheel that turns as easy as the pages of a book. You press the treadle and sink inches deep back in the soft cushions with the swoop of its take-off. You click off miles by the score, the hundred and no matter how far you range or what gait you travel, you can't get a whine out of that softly whispering engine! The answer is you've got a car that was born to go places the way you want to go-smoother, safer, steadier than any car you've known. Power in this flashing Buick is the power of eight straight valve-in-head cylinders.

Yet the crowning touch of its creators was none of these but the figures they succeeded in writing on its price tag. The hard-to-realize fact is that this great straight eight can be bought for less than some of today's sixes ! .

The western states were rated very high on scenery, low oi roads, favorably on cllmat and on the friendliness and hospitality of the people; the lack of traffic con gestion added greatly fto the popu larity of the western territory. Of the southern states, Florida predomi nated In popularity, because of fish ing and climate, although It rated low on scenery and roads. Washington, D.

Others, In order of popularity, were: Boston, Chicago. Sen Francisco. Los Angeles, New Orleans and Denver. The motrlsts surve; i 1 were vol uble In their complaints against the highway numbering system, particu larly In urban zones. The majority of the criticisms were directed against the fact that In a great many cities numbered routes are hard to follow because the highway numbers are placed at too tnlrequci intervals or are not well placed so that they can be easily seen In the confusing wel ter of signs end lights along city streets. Many also compltaned about route markings at Intersections, pointing out that rarely is the mo torist given advance warning of the turn of a numbered route. Regarding speed, most of the mo torists said they considered 50 miles an hour a safe speed when touring on the open highway. Other opin ions ranged between 70 and 35 miles, while less than 1 per cent of the replies voted for such extremes as 80 or 30 ml lea per hour. The length of vacations reported ranged from a few days to a year, with the average being approximately three weeks. About 54 per cent re I. Phone 102 New Dodge Pick-Up i t 1 9 TFS3fff"fS "" '! "."
