'TIL 1 A.M. 1029 EAST JEFFERSON STREET * ARIZONA SUN Improvements Made In North For Vacationists More Phoenclans should read Zane Grey’s novels, in the opinion of Phoenix Action, the publication of the Phoenix Chamber of Com merce. Zane Grey, you’ll recall, was the writer who lived and wrote of life in Arizona’s famed Mogollon Rim, Tonto Rim and White Mountain country. These three areas plus the Grand Canyon country—are among the finest summer vacationing areas in the country and deserve real consideration by Phoenicians as likely sports for some summer vacationing. Easier To Reach Each year access to these areas by automobile is becoming easier: The Black Canyon Highway is now paved to Camp Verde, leaving just a few miles of gravel to traverse before edging into the breathtak ing beauty of Oak Creek Canyon; the Bee Line Highway through Payson and Pine and on to Win slow is being steadily improved and realigned, and routes inter twining the White Mountain coun try via Globe axe being paved and lengthened. Big news for all travelers are improvements and proposed im provements at Grand Canyon. A new entryway to the South Rim has virtually eliminated the bot tleneck at the information office and general store in Grand Canyon Village. Sixty camp sites have been constructed on the North Rim, and that areas’ roadway has been im proved and enlarged. The Fred Harvey company, main concessionaire at the Canyon armed now with a long-term lease from the government has em barked on a $1 million improve ment program to nearly all faci lities. Also planned for 1956 is a new hotel on the rim. Rates fit every pocketbook. By Rail or Air Besides automobile, of course, the Canyon can be reached either by Santa Fe railway or Frontier Airlines from Phoenix. Advance reservations for El Tovar Hotel, Bright Angel Lodge or the motor hotel are advisable. A recent survey of Northern Ari zona tourist economy by Stanford Research Institute shows, among other things,-that visitors to the Canyon spent sl9 million annu- HAIR IS WOMAN’S GLORY Cor. 11-15 The KOZY KOTTAGE BEAUTY SHOP 1510 W.
