Musical groups coming include the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the Bavarian Symphony Orchestra, Lagoon to Open Easier Weekend Easter weekend, April 4 through '6, marks the opening of Lagoon's 85th season of fun. It's hard to image looking at it today, that a resort on the shore of the Great Salt Lake called Lake Park was the forerunner of Lagoon. The lake receded an i Lake Park was abandoned, but the idea for an amusement park was not. In 1895 a Salt Lake City ice company conceived the idea of creating a lake from which it could harvest ice in the winter for use in the summer. (This was in the days before refrigeration.) Lagoon Springs, from which the lake was formed, turned out to be too warm to allow thick ice to freeze. Nevertheless, for several years ice was stored in three large ice houses located immediately south of Die present water filters at Lagoon's swimming pool. It was around this lake that Lagoon itself was born in 1896. The Salt Lake and Ogden Railroad was built and Lagoon was an incentive to railway transportation. There were no autos, and highways were either mud or dusty. The 1980 opening weekend will feature entertainment galore on the Midway, and Pioneer Village will delight young and old alike with its museums, shops and living history. The new Tidal Wave thrill ride will leave you weightless as it swings you and 50 companions out over Lagoon Lake. It's sure to wet your whistle. This addition to Lagoon's 100 rides and games take on the challenge already set by the Jet Star 2, roller coaster and many other rides of giving Lagoon visitors an unparalleled day of thrills and fun. Lagoon and Pioneer Village will have an expanded entertainment program in 1980.

This entrance will accommodate the new admission policy to Lagoon. Orchestra and many other smaller groups and soloists. A cinema festival, music hall, mime and puppets, jazz and rock and variety also will be part of the festivities. Major focus of the festival is always the mystery plays, which actors will perform 23 times in the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey. Directed by Patrick Garland, the plays will be cast with more than 200 local people, headed by a leading professional in the role of Christ, and supported by bands and choirs. mmi computerised AUGUOTS A minimum purchase of ride tickets or ride pass will the purchase of an y allow the Lagoon guest a gate pass.

Read the conditions page carefully to see just who is the responsible party. 2. Read the itinerary carefully. And watch out for word games. If the brochure says "we'll stop for lunch," and doesn't say who is paying for it, you are. If the brochure says something is "available," that does not mean it's included. "Available" may mean you get it only if you pay extra for it. "Optional" also usually means additional charges. Again, your hotel may be a "scenic lOminute drive" from some worthwhile tourist site, but who provides and pays for the transportation? If the brochure does not say, you are probably the one who will foot the BROWN UPI Travel Editor Next to a home and car, the biggest investment many Americans will make is a vacation. So, before smashing the old piggy bank and shelling out hundreds or thousands of dollars, remember the old Roman warning: the buyer beware." "Caveat Emptor-- Let In many cases, the traveler has no one to blame but himself if his dream vacation turns out to be a nightmare, according to Ray Tanenbaum, vice president of Grand Circle Travel of New York, which has specialized in vacations for older Americans for 22 years. Tanenbaum says Grand Circle, which sent 40,000 people on trips to all parts of the world in 1979 as the travel service for the American Association of Retired Persons, has published a pamphlet on how to read the fine print in the travel brochures. It suggests: 1. Know who the tour operator is. Don't n be misled by the picture of a airline's plane on the cover. Most often the airlines will have nothing to do with arranging or operating the tour; it simply provides the air transportation. The name of a familiar organization on the cover may be misleading, too, for while it could be endorsing the trip, it may have no Visitors can stand eyeball to eyeball with a gargantuan breeding bull, try tasty samples from the world's largest producer of cheddar cheese or watch molten glass being shaped into objects d'art. Hundreds of Oregon entrepreneurs welcome the public to tour their factories, farms and studios. A variety of exciting and educational experiences awaits the inquisitive visitor. The state's oldest winery serves free samples after a tour that covers the aging, filtering, pasteurization e and bottling of fine fruit and berry wines. Ah Portland brewery likewise concludes tours with a trip to the tasting room. Coastal canneries show how freshly caught seafood is processed and packaged for shipment to supper tables across America. Adjacent retail outlets offer salmon, crab, shrimp, clams and a variety of bottom fish for sale to the public. At the cheddar cheese capital of the world, visitors can observe the entire cheese-makin- g process. What starts as milk going through a curd mill ends up in blocks of cheddar ready for aging in cold storage. Samples? Positively. A visit to the Rogue River Valley should include a n stop in Medford at one of the largest and direct marketing firms in the country. Known for its fine food and fruit gifts, the firm still bakes cakes from scratch, puts up preserves and even weaves most of its own baskets. Two famous farment labels also show up on the Oregon tour circuit. One plant specializes in the wearing, dyeing and spinning of yarn. The other demonstrates how fabric is processed to completion, including the application of a permanent press finish. Garments are cut and sewn (as part of the tour) in an adjoining building. kSLIUilUSJ J firnitirt nmpjnij 8. Be sure the penalties for cancellation are reasonable. This information is always on the conditions page. Compare the penalty fee with that of other tours. You should be allowed a reasonable period in which to cancel without penalty. And, last but not least: if there are any revisions in the conditions, have them written down and initialed, so there can be no "misunderstanding" later. n ILs.ll nwhen you buy a 1980 RCA nII I I II II II II T&T JJQl Raycl V Calculator 10-Dig- it I I I All A value you can count on.

Be sure the meal program is clearly explained. Know which meals the tour operator pays for and which you have to pay for. When a meal is provided, will you be given a choice or only a single menu? Remember that "lunch is available daily" does not mean lunch is included. 7. Check the tour operator's reputation. Find out how long he has been in business the local chamber of commerce or better business bureau should know. 3. Don't be taken in by "bargain-rate- " packages. They generally reflect the least desirable season for a visit. Sure, it is cheaper to visit a tropical country in summer but it can also be hot, humid and uncomfortable. You can probably save money by going north in the winter, too, if you don't mind the frigid temperatures, ice and snow. And in many countries most of the finer resort hotels, restaurants and major tourist attractions close down during the off season. 4. Make sure the length of the stay is Oregon Hosts Tours Galore IfSSntTffl clear. Many travel brochures consider a week to consist of only six nights. On this basis, three weeks will equal only 18 days, not 21. 5. Be certain the brochure tells you not only what is included but also what is NOT included, such as tips, taxes, porter fees, etc. You can't begin to budget your trip if you don't know what the additional costs bill. well-know- L-- novo 1400 N.
