Member North Carolina Press Association $2.00 Per Year Two Carolinas To Join In Victory Vacation Year On April 1 0 Acting to join a nationwide movement which will promote re creational travel from June 1946 until June of the following year, the governors of North and South Carolina have indicated they will proclaim Victory Vacation Year in their respective statesonApril 1, according to officials of the Carolina Motor club. In the plan outlined by the Na tional Association of Travel Of ficials, who originated the Victory Vacation Year plan, a full year beginning June 1, 1946 and ex tending until June 1, 1947 will be given to a nation-wide attempt to encourage vacation travel, us ing as a slogan for the campaign, “You’ve Earned It—Now Fin joy It.” “North and South Carolina, whose tourist industries have be come increasingly valuable during recent years, will be placed offic ially in line with this movement by the governmental proclama tions on April 1,” said Cole man W. Roberts, Carolina Motor, cluln president. Proclamation of Victory 1 tion Year on April 1 is presu'malAz calculated to allow time for nuk ing preparations for th«e observ ance. Invitations, together -with identifying insignia and suggested displays, are to be ;sent by the Victory Vacation Yeyar oeaaimittee of NATO to officials throughout the travel-resort- f ield . during the spring. NATO plans call for the Victory Vacation Year slogan to be used in connection with travel literature, road maps, advertis ing copy and feature pictures and stories in magazines and news papers- Hotels, resorts, transportation lines, stores, chambers of com . merce and .other kindred enter , prises are expected to cooperate . in the effort to promote recrea , tional travel through advertising. The Victory Vacation Year plan was brought to the official atten tion of North and South Carolina in a resolution passed by the Caro lina Motor club’s board of direc tors at a special meeting in Co lumbia on March 13. In the reso lution, which was addressed in dividually to the governors of North and South Carolina, the Mo tor club directors said that "an incalculable hungriness for travel has arisen among the people of the Carolinas, stimulated by the growth of travel facilities and sharpened by war years of de privation and restrictions.” Note was taken of the attrac tions that the Carolinas hold for tourists and “the considerable in vestment of resources” that have been made to stimulate the tourist enterprise. The governors of North and South Carolina were urged to proclaim Victory Vaca tion Year as a part of the nation wide movement, and to encourage people of their states to “enjoy the benefits of a peaceful vaca tion.” The National Association of Travel Officials, which formed the Victory Vacation Year com mittee last winter, and started laying g oundwork for the travel promoting campaign at a New .(Continued on page 8) First spare stamp to be used especially for canning sugar is No. 9, which became valid Mon day, March 11, for five pounds and remains good through Octo ber 31, Johnson pointed out.
