IM, UevtMft* * JOHN DICKINSON 8HERMAN 1MB was--and not so very long ago, as any old-timer will tell you--when the American had yet to form the vacation habit. But before we realized It, the summer vucntion had come, had found favor and had become a fixture. Next the American people discovered that a vacation did not Lecessarily have to be en- Joyed In the summer. Nowadays the United States has so many people and they have so much money that thousands are playing all over the country at any time of the year. In the summer, a large proportion cf the vacationists start off In ihe old flivver nnd head for the national parks of the Scenic West and other wild places. Thanksgiving day they are back home and the winter crowd is getting ready to start right after the holidays for the warm lands. The fact that any day of the year sees thousands ;»t outdoor play somewhere In the country Is one >f the things that gives encouragement to the sociologists. They figure that our Twentieth century civilization is altogether too fast and furious and complex to be safe. They do not hesitate to declare that If It were not for the popularity of outdoor recreation the country would go straight to the "demnitlon bow-wows." Induce any physician to speak his real mind and be will say something about like this: You see. all the conditions of our modern city life are artificial. We don't eat when we should nor what we rhould; we don't get enough sleep, and, above all, we don't set sufficient exercise and fresh air. Moreover, we are all the time keeping up a tremendous, killing pace. The truth Is no human being can lead a safe and sane life without the country. God made the country--made it to keep us balanced and wholesome. One thing I. do know, there Is nothing In the world like the country for jangled nerves, and there is nothing Ilk* the country to keep your nerves from becoming Jangled. There are, of course, other aspects to the situation. One of these is the fact our national character has largely been built up, on the out-of-doors. 4t was the men and women who marched across the continent who gave us our outlook on life as a priceless heritage. They bequeathed to us cournge, simplicity, self-reliance and efficiency. Now i tie frontiers have gone, one after another. Soft living and physical comfort have come to bulk large in the Bcheme of life of most of us. And too much of them is bad for us. Life in the open, the right kind of sport and play, make for both health and character. Any normal man or woman comes back from It better physically and morally. It's a curious thing, but the wilderness tries out a man as does nothing else. If a man'has a yellow streak or a selfish streak in him, It will out in the "silent places." I'er contra, camping, angling, mountaineering. life in the open--all teach fundamentals of life that make up character. And it is very evident that the American people need such teaching. At present their outdoor manners 'are unbelievably bad. They seem to have little sense of responsibility or of sportsmanship. They litter up the countryside, pollute the waters,-- hack down trees and are criminally careless with fire. Probably there is no keener student of the American people and of the times than President Coolldge. So the National Conference on Outdoor Recreation that he called last year Is significant And in calling the conference he ;>ut the situation clearly when he said, among oth things: The physical vigor, moral strength, the cUan simplicity of mind of the American people can be Immeasurably furthered by the properly developed opportunities for the life In the open afforded bjr our forests, mountains, and waterways Life In the open Is a great character builder. From sneb life much of the American spirit of freedom springs. Furthering the opportunities of all for such lif* ranks In the general class with education. In order to handle this matter properly, to adjust the widely separated viewpoints and interlock the Interests concerned efficiently, there should be a definite and clearly prescribed national policy. The whole matter, being nation-wide ftr Its scope, demands such handling. The object to be secured should therefore be to promulgate a nations, policy whic*i -hould not merely co-ordinate under federal guidance alt activities In behalf of outdoor recreation but also formulate a program to verve as a guide for future action. The conference was attended by delegates rtpresentlng 125 organizations, many of them of aa- _ &nu,s zjm: nnd tIon-wide membership. These delegates effected a permanent organization and adopted a set of resolutions setting forth a tentative national recrea- ^ tlon policy. Right now, the crowds of winter vacationist# throng the beaches and golf links from Miami to Coronado Beach--rlear across the continent. And they are of all kinds--people of money and social position; people who are just drifting to keep out of reach of cold weather. Expensive hotels and club houses care for the one kind; auto camps for the other. This auto camp, by the way, is a comparatively new thing; it evolved from the facf that all Ihe world Is awheel nowadays. You see, nil these motorists spend money--some more, some 1*88. So It got to the point where every self-rfc* tSpecting town on ihe much-traveled highways had to have an auto camp to bid for its share of tourist patronage. How many of these auto camps there are no one cun say. But the 1924-5 official camping and camp-site manual of the Americas Automobile association lists nearly 2,000. These people who follow the summer are all' motorists. Some travel all the way by car; some ship their cars; some buy or rent cars after arrival. Ybu'll find every possible kind of car--many of which are in no catalogue. The "House oa Wheels," a home-made production. Is a common sight. Also you will see natty motor coaches--" a cross between a city sight-seeing bus and a rail-" road parlor car--containing (tersonnlly conduct! tourists from a big city u thousand miles awaj Yes; the day of surprises In motor vehicles Is past In the auto camps of the country. As to the number of the vehicle--It's guesswork. California's share at Christmas time was about 700 cars a da/. In Florida one camp midway down the coast registered 7,000 cars during the winter months of 1923-1 In the Miami camps the cars «t times are packed In so tightly that there Is scarcely room to walk. These camps all make a churge--usually about 85 cents a night for transients and $1.50 a week for permanents. These winter visitors have Invested so mucfe money In Florida real estate that the state has Just passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting the levying of Inheritance and Income taxes. Florida has about a million population. It figures on doubling this million In the next decade. In patt through this amendment. .One feature of the spectacle of the United Statw at play today is really new. It Is the fact thai right now there are thousands at play In the snow --from Maine to California. These people who are playing In the snow sort of look down, don't ynu know, on the people who follow the summer. TH%y are redblooded and proud of It. They love the "recurrent miracle of the spring"; the "jrood old summertime"; the Indian summer days. But not Jeast do they love the days when Jack Frost Is undisputed king of a world of white. They see In* King Jack a friend Indeed--no enemy. Tliey declare it is his relgfi that hardens up the fiber of . man and woman and brings them to full statures body, mind and soul. It was only two or three years ago that every fall the New England countryside said farewell to tha "resorters," closed up the hotels and country club* and prepared to hibernate till next season. City people who had country estates boarded up thp la their country homes and keeping open house. The week-enders make necessary trains of two and thn>e sections. Every community of any pep at all has its municipal Ice nnd slide and so on and a "winter sports carnival." Maine alone has six or eight scheduled for January and February. In New York the Adlrondacks are popular. Lake Placid will have throngs of snow-plnyers all winter. Saratoga and Plattsburg are advertising carnivals. The White mountains are popular. Vermont and New Hampshire are gay. Thousands, Including the girl scouts, are making a winter . playground of the Palisades Interstate park along the Hudson. On the other edge of the continent there are thousands playing in the snows of the national parks. Mount Rainier will see parties of hardy mountaineers all winter, but its Joy time comes lute--why. they carry their sport clear into July, when the International ski tournament is held, Yosetnite is an all-year national park. Yosemite valley Is the sport center. Winter visitors will be in evidence until March. Rocky Mountain Is another nattonnl park that Is officially open nil the year around. The sport center Is Fern lake, with Odessa close by. The two lakes are tucked away on the East Slope right In under the giant peaks of the Continental Divide. They are natural winter playgrounds, apparently fashioned for the purpose by Nature herself. There is plenty of snow. In February, the peak of the season, you ski or snowshoe up among the brunches of the pines and firs. And it's the real thing getting there. You can go part way by motor. Then the road quits and you have to bit the trail under your own power. What's more, the snow Is too deep for a puck horse, so duffel and grub have to be hauled in by toboggan. Did you ever hit a trail on snowshoes In eight feet of snow through the pine benches, drugging a toboggan\ No? Well. It's an experience worth having. Did you ever ent a picnic lunch beside the trail on top of eight feet of snow, with a tire and hot eats an' everything Nb? Well, that's worth doing too-- something you can boust about, y' know. And bow 'about living in log houses, with natural slides at the door and the lake ip front? The decrees of fashion are mysterious beyond guessing; today it's one thing and tomorrow the Opposite. Which suggests the question: Has this winter sport In the snow come to stay? Probably It has. In the East Its contlnuunce depends on popular favor and individual initiative. But In the national parks of the West the federal government Is back of it. Chicago, half way between, gives us a hint. There Cook county has invested a lot of money In many thousands of acres of forest preserves, which are extensively used In the summer time, as might be expected. Now, under the auspices of the county commissioners, winter sports are In full swing--and popular. As to the probable future of these winter sports In the snow, the country over: This friendly tussle with Jack Frost appeals,to the pioneer blood |n us. And the women are strong for It. They realise that a fetching winter sports costume Is Just about the most becoming thing a fine young American woman can put on her fine young American body. Apparently the young American men thjnk So too. And. after all. In the business of seeking mates, the fine young American man is predisposed toward health and strength and good sportsmanship In woman. So. Inasmuch as getting married Is every normal woman's real business. It looks as If the women of the country might be the best bolsters of winter sports in the snow. And if so --why, that settles- U. ^ . , y -i.r Bookworms Get No Kind Welcome Here Finnish bookworms have turned up as stowaways In paper consigned to a New York company. The worms tunneled through a shipment of Finnish paper, and then bored Into the staves which held the shipment of American pnner.
