Mulhollem, of St Petersburg, who is summering at his cottage, near Spruce Creek, closed the trout fishing season by lashing the streams in Bedford county. He was successful in landing a number of fine ones and the editor of the Bulletin was pleased to be remembered by his geed friend when he called at our office and presented us with two of the "speckled beauties." —Contractors of the borough and of which there are a number, inform us that they have not yet contracted for the erection of a single new dwelling house in town during the preseat season, although they are busy every day making repairs to dwellings and places of business. While there is not a vacant dwelling house in the borough, it would appear that new houses would be erect- ceted, if not fee rent, then by some who desire a home. In the good old days every one strived to .become'a home owner, but now they want aa automobile, which in the final analysis is aa never-ending bill of expense. Young man be wise, get m TOURIST BUSINESS BOOMING Thousands of* Motorists Sea Pennsylvania Pat) First Taste Motor tourist business is booming again la Pennsylavnia, aad early predictions of a record-breaking sea- sea are being borne out, according to records of the tourist bureau of the State Department of Highways released by Secretary Warren Van Dyke. Early in June—after receipt of more than 400 requests for road! maps and touring information during April and May—Secretary Van Dyke predicted that this year would see a marked revival of automobile touring in the Baste. Many of these motorists are pouring Pennsylvania for the first time. Some come from the prairie states, while others are from foreign countries, in fact they come from all sections of the compass. Pennsylvania's mountain scenery and beautiful valleys are beyond compare and those who motor over oar grand highways for the first time marvel at the beautiful picture that nature has prepared here in the Old Keystone State. There is sn ever-varied change from the time motorists arrive at the western boundry until the eastern part of the commonwealth is reached. What they see is an never-ending sensation to them. The high walled mountains, the beautiful mountain streams, rich farms and beautiful wooded section. Is It any wonder that motorists from he low lying prairie states go into ecstacy over the wonders to be seen here in Pennsylvania! Yes, the motorists from other states enjoy the beauties of the commonwealth aad they should be given a hearty welcome wherever they appear and told of what there is ta store far them. From a historic viewpoint Pennsyl- countless etawaa-^^ i -5 ? During June and July detailed information en tours, both in aad out of Pennsylvania, wss provided in answer to 300 requests. Of this total 147 inquiries were answered by telephone; 48 were supplied in person at the Tourists Bureau; 61 tours were provided by mail to Pennsylvanians; and.44 by mail to persons residing put of the State. During the same months nearly 25,- 000 road maps were distributed by the Bureau. Approximately 7000 were shipped in bulk for distribution by motor clubs, chambers of commerce, and other civic organizations; more than 17,000 were distributed over the counter in the Bureau; and nearly 600 were mailed to individuals in thirty-six states, the District of Columbia, Canada and Germany. Every effort is made to minimise inconvenience resulting from regular highway maintenance work and detours necessitated by the large number of contracts now under way. As a result, despite many detours, traffic moves with comfort snd dispatch. Even "blow-ups" of the recent heat wave—when extreme temperatures taxed expansion joints beyond their limits aad bulges resulted—have caused little inconvenience since repairs were made promptly and with little annoyance to travelers. As an extra service, oiling is announced a week in advance of application snd no oil is placed imme- diatly prior to week-end or holidays. Highways are oiled over only one- half their wdth at a time. More than 7000 detour bulletins are mailed each week for posting in hotels, garages, service tations, etc., so that travelers may have accurate information on current road conditions in every part of the state.
