CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE’ ANN WENT outside, and walked around to the new wing; which was growing impressively fast. “Is Mr. Hansen around?” she asked the first workman she en-

countered. «Just left,” he said, then raised his voice, “Hey, Hansen! Mis’ Drake wants to see you!” + “Coming,” yelled a voice from the road. Ann sauntered down the path to meet him. “Good morning, Mrs. Drake. How does it look to you?” he greeted her pleasantly. Mr. Hansen was a big blond man. He had been to college, and to Ann was distinguished from his workmen, likewise big blond men, for the most part, by more careful enunciation and a blue serge suit.

Ann put it in her pocket, and glanced over the less interesting mail on her way back ‘home. She shed her jacket, then curled up in a big chair in the library to read Colin's letter.

tion travel cannot also be spent at home. . ; bE However, the values created at vacation places and the wealth production that follows the everincreasing use of the resources of such places is the thing.

Opening new vacation travel places is much. like opening new frontiers. . Both provide extra living room and additional resources for our ever-expanding population to use In making a living. Our population grows at the rate of about 1,250,000 a year. Vacation travel undoubtedly has had much to do with bringing into use the latest resources of such places as Florida, California and Arizona. Among vacationists are always those who are seeking new horizons for trade and science. Small resorts become thriving communities, because the vacationing scientist sees opportunity.
