By NEA Service NEW YORK There wiU be vacations this year, but few "vacations as usual." John Q. Public and family are going to have to cut a new recreational pattern or remain in their own back yard. Approximately 60,000,000 Americans will form the nation's vacation vaca-tion caravan this year. The rubber shortage and gasoline rationing will sadly deplete the motorized units of this army. In addition, the war has swept cruise ships from the ocean. TRANSPORTATION WILL PROVIDE BIG PROBLEM . But the vacation spirit hasn't been dulled. According to the United States Travel Bureau, war's tension and the fact that money is flowing freely have made people more vacation-minded than in former years. . Of last year's $7,000,000,000 vacation bill, some $400,000,000 went into foreign travel. This year practically all that money will remain in the United States or go to Canada or Latin America. : An informal survey of travel agencies shows that thousands of Americans are planning to spend their traditional "two weeks off with pay" hiking, river-cruising, bicycling and even pitching hay down on the farm. Many sub-draft college students are heading farmwards. to replace former haymakers now fighting the Axis. Travel facilities will fce John Q. Public's first consideration this year. As most travel will be by train, John Q. asks "Will I be permitted per-mitted to travel? What about reservations?" "Undoubtedly, Americans will frequently have to say 'After you. Soldier'," says George A. Kelly, vice-president of the Pullman Co. Figures recently made public by the Pullman Company reveal that nearly 2,000,000 troops were carried in specially-assigned sleeping sleep-ing cars from Dec. 9. 1941, through April 3, 1942 more than were transported during all of 1941. IT'S A "SEE AMERICA., FIRST" YEAR Obviously, troop transportation plus the additional seasonal tlvUian demands will make extraordinary demands on railway facilities fa-cilities and equipment. Vacationists can help ease the strain, says Kelly, by consulting local passenger agents so as to avoid peak -days of travel and by making plans flexible enough to permit taking tak-ing a later train, even a day later, if extraordinary wartime traffic blanks out their first choice. A number of resorts are planning to have horses and buggies on hand for the use of guests who come without cars. Many travel agencies feature Hcycle tours. River steamers and sailboats are being polished and painted for leisurely cruises on the Mississippi and other inland waters. It certainly looks like a "See America First", vacation season.

T never knew I liked Russian music so wen." "I thought Shotakovitch would sound like Bartok. It didn't at 1L It was really interesting." "The Roths were marvelous tonight." These and many similar expressions were heard after the seventh musical musi-cal event' of the Brigham Young university summer school's fourth annual music festival at the Joseph Jo-seph Smith Memorial building last night.. The concert was the first of three that will honor some of the great composers of three nations: na-tions: Russia, France, and America. Amer-ica. The composers and compositions composi-tions chosen by Feri Roth to represent rep-resent Russia on last night's program pro-gram were: Tschaikowsky, Quartet' Quar-tet' In D major, Opus 11, Shostakovich," Shosta-kovich," Quartet. Opus 49. and Borodin. Opus 2 (a posthumous work by the way), the Notturno in the form of a serenade wmcn makes '.up the third movement of this work, and the finale, were all that were listed, to be played of the 1 Borodin quartet, but .the en-tuhsiastic en-tuhsiastic audience, applauded the players more and longer than at any concert so far this summer, and .refused to leave the auditorium audi-torium until the players had rendered ren-dered the second movement,"" a Scherzo, of the work. , All together the program was- a very appropriate gesture ,to one of the gamest and bravest of-bur allies. It was evident that the audience received a surprise at the '. compositional com-positional versatility displayed In the quartet of a Russian composer com-poser with whom they were little acquainted. If any came to scoff at Shostakovitch, they remained to praise, for his work was, easily the most interesting of all the works played on last, night's program. pro-gram. (We venture this aside: Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony, Sym-phony, which has been printed oft a 100-foot roll of microfilm,; encased en-cased in a small tin, and flown from Russia via Teheran and Cairo to . this country, will be performed per-formed this fall by some of the leading orchestras.) It was mostly the meticulous playing of the Roth Quartet itself, it-self, however, that won the Provo audience's approval last night. In every department of violin playing, play-ing, and of course that means viola and 'cello playing as well, the quartet seemed to outdo itself. it-self. Particularly admirable was the player's smooth .accentuation of the rhythms, the unified pizzi- i far UNITED STATES STEEL alone in the month of May turned out enough plates for 100 ships more than enough for three ships a day.
