■ For example, efforts put forth, to that end by one company — Mobil Oi. Corporation — are impressive. It is not only because of the 25,000 Mobil service stations throughout the country that provide the 'vacationist with the gasoline, oil and technical assistance necessary to keep his car rolling and ready for the journey but beyond that, because of a further move of the company in the area of car dependability, actual trip planning and touring information. Keep Up to Date Planning the trip requires uj>todate maps and travel information. More than 12,000.000 maps are distributed annually •by the Mobfl Travel Services that replies to more than 100.000 requests from motorists sallying forth into the ; Great Outdoors with the plotting of ' their journey. Experts say that you should be certain your map is up-to-date because some 10,000 changes are made annually. i If you want to make real good touring and enjoy it. an advance study of the trip should be made to l>repare an itinerary, compute the mileage between the points where you want to go and determine where to stop for the night. The travel service will help you in this planning and even advise on the

shortest, or fastest, or more scenic road. Even those who prefer to follow their fantasy and travel leisurely with no rigid itinerary planned in advance must follow maps for the area they want to visit. Nobody., of course, wants to spend his vacation entirely on the road. Questions thpt become common to all tourists and vacationists are what to see, where to eat, and where to sleep? Here, a comprehensive puHiccation like the Mobil Travel Guide becomes essential, much as the celebrated Guide Michelin of France has become indispensable to vacationers in France. What to See and Do The Mobil Guide is the only American guide book series that rates more than 20.000 accommodations and restaurants on the basis of impartial annual inspections. Seven volumes cover the 48 continental states and the District of Columbia. They rate and offer latest information on hotels, motels, rei sorts, restaurants and cafeterias.
