FIVE FUN
VACATIONS
ON A
BUDGET
These out-of-the-ordinary trips
are tailor-made for people
with more imagination than money
v-
Sanibel Island off Florida coast offers tropical paradise at moderate cost.
Tired of doinc the same old thing for
your vacation, summer after sum
mer? Tired of bucking heavy traffic, of
finding "No Vacancy" signs in the well
traveled resort areas which just about
everybody seems to go to? And do you
wind up spending more than you had
planned on a lackluster, routine va
cation that leaves you bored, restless,
fatigued, and anxious to get home?
Then perhaps you should try some
thing new this summer, a different sort
of vacation, one that gives you freedom
from work and care and, most impor
tant, the change a real vacation should
provide. What we have in mind are un
usual vacations you can enjoy perhaps
not far from where you live at virtu
ally stay-at-home prices. Here are five
of them to choose from.
1. Close-to-Home Cruises
If it's a cruise you've set your heart
on, you can have your shipboard vaca
tion without leaving North America.
Thanks to the many rivers, inland seas,
canals, bays, and other waterways that
lace our land, you can, for example,
spend a week cruising the Great Lakes.
This pleasure cruise puts in at such
scenic and historic spots as Mackinac
Island, known as the Bermuda of the
North (the only modes of transporta
tion allowed here are bicycles and
'horse-drawn carriages), and also stops
at Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo,
and Duluth to permit sight-seeing and
to pick up passengers. (You can start
your cruise at any of these points.)
Aboard the floating hotel, you can
indulge in much the same activities
customary on ocean cruises: shuffle
board, deck tennis, lounging, dancing,
and movies. Rates start at $166.50, and
there are special fares for children.
To recapture the charm of the old
river days, you can cruise down the
Mississippi or its tributaries on a
big, modernized paddle-wheel steamer.
The cruises, which run from 4 to 20
days, originate in Cincinnati, but you
may be able to arrange to board at any
one of its stopping points. Rates for the
shorter cruises are as low as $63.
If you must have a cruise with a for
eign flavor, you can take one of the
many steamers that frequently leave
Montreal and Toronto during the sum
mer and cruise French Canada by way
of the St. Lawrence and Saguenay Riv-

ers. On these cruises, you'll also have
the opportunity to explore such other
places as Quebec, Murray Bay, the fa
mous Capes, and Ste. Anne de Beau
pre, and savor French cooking. Typical
all-expense cruises, including sight
seeing, start at about $150 for six days;
shorter cruises are also available for as
low as $75. In the province of Manitoba,
you can take a week-long cruise on
300-mile-long Lake Winnipeg for only
$75 (half fare for children under 12).
The destination is Norway House, at
the northern tip of the lake, one of the
oldest trading posts of historic Hudson's
Bay Company.
2. Island Hideaways
Islands like Nantucket off the East
Coast and Catalina off the West are, of
course, known to everyone. But who
hasn't dreamed of getting away from
it all and vacationing on some secluded,
little-known island well off the usual
tourist route? Probably not more than
a two- or three-day drive from where
you live is some such island, accessible
by bridge, ferry, or boat. They range
from sandy, semitropical palm-tree
havens off the coasts of Florida and

SURE WAY TO STOP
ITCHING..
SKIN RASH
Famous formula counteracts
"itching chemicals" in skin
Skin rashes, eczema, "detergent
hands" can cause maddening itch
ing. Doctors know this is caused by
"itching chemicals" in the skin that
irritate nerve endings.
Certain medications have the
power to neutralize these "itching
chemicals" or immediate relief.
Zemo the prescription-like
formula contains such ingredients
to soothe irritated nerves that cause
itching, quieting and cooling the
skin. 2emo also eases pain of cuts,
scratches, minor burns. Liquid or
ointment; regular or extra strength.
Save most, get large sizes of Zemo.
