Vacation Trip This Year Will Cost More
Americans planning a vacation trip this summer should be prepared to pay more, start planning sooner and keep a careful eye on the gas gauge. A nationwide Associated
Press survey shows that families are not being scared away from planning summer vacations by high gasoline prices and the memory of winter shortages. But tourism officials
say the summer vacationer plans to travel a shorter distance to find his spot in the sun and to stay put longer once he gets there. The sharp increases in the price of food and energy will hit the summer traveler hard. Some vacation areas report food and beverage prices up 20 per cent over last year, and federal officials foresee an average nationwide price for gasoline of 60 cents a gallon this summer, up from the current average of 54 cents for regular and 58 cents for premium. Some tourist areas predict it could go as high as 70 cents. Motel and hotel prices are also up in most tourist areas, but not significantly. The overall effect means you’ll pay up to 20 per cent more for the same vacation you took last year.
Many tourist areas suffered between a 20 and 40 per cent decline in business during the winter. But by April most reported business nearly normal again, and some expect a record summer. The AP survey showed that traveling on Sundays could mean risking running out of gasoline this summer. There will be fewer gasoline stations open on Sundays for two reasons: (1) many stations do not need that day to sell their monthly allocation, and (2) some owners have gotten used to having Sundays off and aren’t anxious to work. The American Automobile Association said Tuesday a survey showed 39 per cent of the nation’s service stations open Sundays. the AP survey also shows that most tourist areas have in-
creased their advertising budgets and concentrated their messages much closer to home. Cape Cod resorts, for example, are advertising in a 300-mile radius instead of a normal 700 miles. Major tourist areas such as Cape Cod, the Poconos, the Smoky Mountains, Southern California and the lake areas of Michigan and Wisconsin are running ahead of or even with 1973 on advance bookings. These areas said some persons who stayed only three or four days in the past are now making reservations for two weeks. The economical traveler can cut costs. The AP survey found that in some areas the smaller motels and hotels had been hardest hit by the energy crisis and are less likely to be booked for the summer. And special deals are avail-
able in most areas to tourists seeking them. Some of these offer extra nights in motels free of charge if tourists stay a certain length of time. Others include free rooms for children under 12 and free tickets to local points of interest. Tourists seeking these deals should check with chambers of commerce, travel agents and tourist bureaus. The major concern is the availability of gasoline. Most officials say they’re cautiously optimistic there w ill be enough. However, there is at least a possibility there won’t. The Federal Energy Office says the outlook for summer is that gasoline supplies will be 4 to 6 per cent below potential demand —the amount used in normal times. A recent AP survey showed that citizens are returning to their normal driving
habits. If that continues the chances of spot gasoline shortages this summer are strong. The energy office suggests that travelers seeking information on gasoline check with the American Automobile Association or phone ahead to their destination before leaving. Some tourist areas—the Berkshires in western Massachusetts and Finger Lakes in New York are two—are setting up hotlines to dispense gasoline information. The Berkshires Hills Conference is offering to buy dinner on Monday nights for any service station owner who stays open on Sundays. “It’s going to cost money," said John Geary, director of the group. “But hell, that’s better than being out of business." Nearly every state is pushing itself—“See Kentucky First" is repeated the country over. Pre-
registration at the 16 resort state parks in Kentucky is up 15 per cent this year. O aaorei zect the percentage of their business aiet residents to in- > crease from 42 to 55 per cent. _ One attempt to capitalize on ' an expected decline in the number of Americans going to Europe is being made in Chicago by Sun Line Agencies. It is promoting a series of week-long cruises on the Great Lakes to and from Montreal. The cruises, which begin from Montreal May II, are more than 40 per cent booked through October. “We definitely think the energy crisis is working to our advantage,” said Robert Ugucioni, a vacation official in Pennsylvania’s Poconos. That advantage is the area's proximity to the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas.
WORRY CLINIC
George W. Crane, Ph.D., M.D.
Hilda shows the magical effect when you fall in love at first sight. But such an exhilarating surge of emotion is dangerous. For the other person may not care for you at all. And you may be entirely unsuiled on the 10 basic traits for happy marriage! CASE A-628: Hilda F., aged 19, is engulfed in a wild infatuation with a boy friend she met only 3 weeks ago. “Dr. Crane," she began, “this boy seemed to hypnotize me the first moment I looked into his eyes. “It was at a college party where he had asked me to dance. “Well, when I heard his voice and he took me in his arms for thedance, I feitasif my knees would collapse. “Never in my life have I experienced such an exciting, ecstatic emotion. "It was love at first sight. “But I wonder if it would last if I were to marry him. "Isn't love at first sight rather dangerous?” DANGEROUS LOVE There are 2 kinds of love that lead to marriage. One is this madly exhilarating infatuation at first sight and the other is “earned love” The former may occur between a boy and girl who are totally unsuited to each other. In fact, it may be entirely one-sided, for the girl may be swept off her feet, yet the boy may not have any real affection for her at all. Again, the boy may be the victim of a girl who is ■nerely a golddigger. Actually, however, all love must be earned. And the more stable, permanent type of romance develops slowly between 2 congenial people who share many happy dates, picnics, canoe trips, parties and other gala social events together. "Earned" love fora person of the opposite sex develops much like the child s fondness for hot dogs. At the outset, there is no natural fondness for hot dogs so a toddler may spit out the first bite when he originally encounters that wiener. But he later meets the hot dog at picnics, the circus, ball games, and dozens of exciting social events, each of
which aroused great delight and happiness in that youngster. Ultimately, the child subconsciously attaches every one of those happy emotional memories to the hot dog. Later, w hen he bites into a wiener he is suffused by the sudden resurrection of all those former jolly experiences. Now that hot dog seems delicious and most children prefer it to steak or fried chicken, as you parents can attest. Similarly, when a congenial couple share dozens of happy experiences together, they ultimately become "triggers" for the sudden release of a flood of happiness whenever they meet. So they find themselves in an “earned love” romance, which is not likely to end in divorce. For they learned to adjust during those many previous dates and picnics, church hikes or skating parties, etc. Love at first sight is a misnomer, for it also developed originally because of our many happy experiences with a favorite uncle or. aunt, cousin or other relative who thus really produced the flood of happy emotions that some stranger may now "trigger.” This stranger may merely have a nose or ears or a profile or a voice resembling that of the earlier favorite relative whb caused our emotions to become entwined around such a physical attribute. See tomorrow s case for a classical example of the hazard of love at first sight
