Ports Of Call ? By Edward H. Sim* Contrary to the tastes of many, the best place to be in the summer is not Paris, Rome, London or New York ?-but in the country. The big cities in summer are hard going, both in America and Europe. The American northwest, New England or U. S. moun tains wherever are ideal for July and August. Many beaches are even too hot in July and August, particularly in the South or Caribbean. Colorado is wonderful in July and August--as is so much of the northwest, from California half way across the nation. New England is less stifling in July and August than states southward. Cities such as Washington and New York can mean summer at its worst. Camping is sweeping the nation and campers are gain ing in sales, as are house trailers of all kinds. One can motor around the nation in a camper or a trailer, avoiding motel bills and, aside from gasoline, spending little more than he would at home. Seeing this country has its rewards, also, for roads are less crowded (outside cities) and if one* looks carefully enough a spot away from tourists and vacationing crowds can usually be found. A custom long followed by Europeans is gaining a stronger foothold in America -the trend to get away from the city in the hottest months to the nearby countryside. Campers and trailers are one manifestation of the trend in the U.S. Millions of Europeans have what are called summer houses a few miles from their apartment or home. These houses are in reality, no more than shacks which consist of a single room. They contain gardening tools and not much else and provide the city dweller a chance to get out in the sun and grow his owp flowers or vegetables and get some exercise. It is amazing how regular ly, almost religiously, these plots are worked and how much they are enjoyed by the average "little man" in Europe, even though the up per classes sometimes pass them off as a stupidity. In the UnUed States some of the wealthy speak disdainfully of campers and house trailers -but the American trend is putting wheels on the little man's shack in Europe, who also goes for camping, but with a tent and a bicycle, if he has no car. Americans can today take advantage of plentiful land still left in many areas of the country-whereas good beach or resort lots are often not available in older countries. One can buy a lot (on a lake, beach or in the mountains) Wilder Is Named Council Chairman Barnwell, S. C. - Mickey Wilder, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Wilder of Barnwell, S. C. and a rising sophomore at Anderson College, is one of XI students chosen from the student body as members of the Men's Council for the 1969-70 session. In fact, Mikey has been elected council chairman and he will succeed a fellow Barn well resident, Lewis Owens, in this position. In addition, young Wilder was named to the Honor's List for the second semester | at Anderson. This is quite an honor. This recognizes him as doing outstanding work. The Men's Council is res ponsible for enforcing college and build a summer house as a vaction hobby over the years. rules among the male stu dents The members, which are chosen) bn the basis of their character and leadership abilities, serve as dorm and house proctors. One of the council's main duties is the issuing of penal ties. Every two weeks during the past year an announce ment was posted near the Dean's office which contain ed a list of penalties for everything from "no socks in the dining hall" to "throwing cookies in the hall." The council's other duties includ ed the inspecting of rooms and maintaining order in the dormitories. Mickey will be in his se cond and final year at Ander son College during the 1969-70 term. He is a 1968 graduate of Barnwell High School. ^furniture Clearance ? SENSATIONAL BEDROOM BARGAIN 7- PIECE DINETTE SUITE WAKE UP REFRESHED!
