Traveler's Notebook
By Jacques Futrelle, Jr.
The Star's Travel Editor
xiavci in oucuauuuau i^auunai
Park of Virginia for 1947 is almost
10 per cent above last year’s figures.
That’s the principal reason the
waiting lists at the park’s two resort
areas—Big Meadows and Skyland—
have been so long. The heavy sum
mer crush is lightening, however,
and some accommodations are
available for the rest of the season.
According to a check made late
last week, Big Meadows has one
week end available for reservations
—the last of its season. This area
icpuji/eu uyuuic iw iiis unpledged
for November 1 and 2. Single rooms,
however, are booked solid for the
remaining six weeks.
Double rooms are open for reser
vations there and at Skyland in
each Monday-through-Fridayi
period until the November 3 close,
and Skyland is in a better position
to accommodate week-end guests.
No week-end singles are available,
but doubles can be booked for
September 27-28, and October 11
12, 18-19, 25-26, and November 1-2. i
Some singles are available at Sky
land on week-days.
The fall color season is expected;
to cause a rush to Skyline Drive the!
first two weeks in October, tighten-!
ing the overnight fatilities. Latest
estimate from the park places the
peak of the foliage beauty between
October 1 and 10. As usual, the most
striking time to visit the lofty area
depends on the weather in the next I
week nr two
Last month’s Shenandoah Park!
visitor figures contributed greatly to
the year’s' pickup. A 30.8 per cent
increase over August of last year
was reported. A total of 48,781 cars,
carrying 175.561 persons, checked in
during the 31-day period last month.
The heaviest concentration of travel
in the park this year was registered
earlier this month during the three- i
day Labor Day week end. A total of
9,992 autos entered the park, with
37,385 passengers.
Virginia's State parks will close
their facilities after next week end.

The trans-Atlantic air passenger
some day might wish to sleep his
way across in a berth, and now is a
good time to catch up on the tips
he will hear on plane-slumberi
technique. Pan American World!
Airways evolved the cautions in con
nection with instituting the service
recently. The suggestions are:
For the greater comfort, sleep with
the • head toward the nose of che
Clipper: do not smoke in the berths,
although the curtains and upholstery
are flameproof; use the ladder pro
vided by the purser for climbing
into an upper berth; summon the
cabin attendant by pushing the but-!
ton in the berth; listen to the Clip
per’s public address system for slum-!
ber music and announcements by,
the captain; get up and get dressed
at me nrst can.
Inaugurating the service between
New York arid London September
15, Pan American became the first
American airline to provide trans
Atlantic sleeper planes. A few weeks
earlier, PanAm pioneered non-stop
service over the same route, and this
14-hour elapsed time feature of the
flight became a part of the sleeper
schedules. There is no intermediate
landing to disturb the passenger's
slumber on the plane, which leaves
New York late each afternoon.
The line acquired new Lockheed
Constellation "America" clippers for
VA.V, O'-* MVV. A1ICJ atl/UWllIlUUaiC o*t
passengers—18 in double-tier berths
and 16 in reclining chairs.
While flying over Nova Scotia, ap
proximately 450 miles out of New
York, dinner is served. With din
ner comes a novelty that ends
balancing a loaded tray on the lap.
The new planes have tray holders
concealed in the chair arms, and
they zip out at the press of a button.
After dinner, approximately four
hours out of New York, berths are
made up. They may be occupied
until the plane is within two hours
of London.
Sleeping across the Atlantic, as
you may well guess, costs extra. In
addition to the regular fare of $325,
berths are priced at $125 each.

“Of course we can take a winter vacation! When
J mentioned it to the boss, he said one of his problems
was that everyone felt he had to take his vacation in
the summertime. I told him we planned to go to Florida
and he smiled approval. Said he’d just received the new
Florida booklet - and then went on to tell us about it.
j .
"First of all (the boss said) this
booklet, 'Florida, The Sunshine State,’
is free. All you have to do is ask for it.
In its 48 pages are 107 photographs in
full color covering every phase of life
in the sun - sports, recreation, homes,
agriculture, industry and - well, it's the most complete
story of a state I've ever seen.
"For instance, a big,illustrated map, occupying
six pages, shows the main highways and the location of
Florida's principal attractions and points of interest. The
text gives you real down-to-earth information. You'll
find data about •climate, transportation, employment,
accommodations and taxes. Why, it even gives you the
fishing and motor laws, and where to write for details
of Florida's farming and industrial opportunities.
