THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 3. 1959 THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL. NYSSA. OREGON PAGE SEVEN Pacific Coast Popular Road Visibility Vacation Area Says Declared Big Automobile Group The Pacific Coast and the Eu ropean continent lead the list of preferred domestic and foreign travel objectives of some 2000 members of the American Auto mobile Association who partici pated in a recent poll conducted through affiliated motor clubs, ac cording to the Oregon State Motor Association. Members of more than forty motor clubs, representatives of ail geograpnical areas of the U.S., were interviewed to determine their selection of vacation spots in America as well as abroad. In the choice of geographical region, the Pacific Coast—with 43.6 percent of the votes—led all other areas by a wide margin. The Mountain States were pre ferred by 17.7 percent of the par ticipants with the South Alantic region, which includes Florida, a close third at 17.1 percent. New England placed fourth with 6.7 percent. By location of residence, the AAA members repeated their pre ference for the Pacific Coast with 548 percent of New England members listing the west coast as their vacation choice, while 16.9 percent of the participating members in the same region would go to the South Alantic- Florida area, and 16.1 percent would prefer the Rocky Mountain states. Florida showed up high for residents east of the Mississip pi, although it ranked second to the Pacific Coast in terms of the most popular choice. Participating AAA members residing on the Pacific Coastfc ac cording to the survey, would pre fed vacationing closer to home. Twenty-seven percent would stay on the coast while 22.9 percent would go to the Rocky Mountain states. Compared with the 54.8 percent of New Englanders who would go to the Pacific Coast, only 9 percent of the participating residents of the latter area would travel to New England. Questioned as to modes of trav el, 77.5 percent of the participants stated they would prefer to go by car, while 20.2 percent listed air travel as their choice. Other means of travel shared the bal ance. Asked for their preference if they had a choice of destinations abroad, the AAA members who participated in the survey over whelmingly selected the Europe an Continent. Sixty-four percent “Europe”, or specific countries on the continent, while 10 percent chose Hawaii. The Far East rank ed third, being selected by 6 per cent of the participants. Central and South America were next in line. Factor in Safety The chances of getting caught in the rain will be higher this Labor day than Usual, mathe matically speaking. According to the U. S. Weather Bureau, rainy weather occurs on an average of one out of three Labor day week ends, and the last two Labor days have been free from rain. Rain may or may not ruin holi day picnics and outings. But it can and does tie traffic in knots by obscuring drivers’^vision and slowing cars down to a crawl. Worst, yet, it causes many acci dents when drivers can't see clearly. This warning, issued by the Highway Visibility bureau, points out that 90 percent of driving de pends on sight. Rain brings added problems with wiper- streaked windshields that blur drivers’ vision Recent findings of the National Safety council accent the impor tance of good vision In a study ARTIST'S SKETCH shows how new public park and beating of vehicles involved in traffic ac cidents. where obstructed visibil. facilities being built by Idaho Power company will appear when ity was a factor, the council re completed on Brownlee lake, the 57* a-mile-long water playground ported that 45.4 percent of all created behind Brownlee dam.
