C DF C AGENDA
The importance of tourist
.travel, until after the war, has
clipped to second place at the
chamber' of commerce as gasoline
.Rationing and other wartime re
strictions nave preveniea mauy
-nf the usual summer trios. Even
Ior all this, many questions have
been asked oy travelers con--cerning
Crater lake.
They want to know about ae--commodations
at the lake, con
dition of the roads, and if it is
'possible to go around the rim.
-Others are interested in spend
ing a night or two at lakes
Situated between here and Eu
gene and so take advantage of
these spots although they are
on regular business, trips. . !
-. Pleasure trips are being con
fined to short distances. Very
fgw people now come into- the
. chamber of commerce to have
cross-country routes mapped
out for them. Questions are
' more likely to concern nearby
lakes the fishing there, accom
modations, and other entertain
ment. Over the Fourth of July
many people went to the coast
and information from the cham
ber indicates that almost every
one stayed on Oregon or north
ern California oeacnes.
Greatest concern now at the
chamber of commerce is to find
houses and living quarters for
those people who have come in
to the community. This work
in" conducted under the division
of tourist aid because, although
they come in through necessity,
these DeoDle take the place of
the peacetime tourists that gen
erally come tnrougn.
