Those who come here are our guests, or visitors, the direc tors said in no uncertain terms. One director who caters to travelers, said the word tourist was "cheap" and sounded ugly. The other directors agreed, and from now on, according to the Chamber of Commerce rules and regulations, the strangers within our gates shall be refeired to as "Guests" or "Visitors," but never, no never, as anything else. And when it comes to mention ing the season, just say, "the spring season," or "the summer season' and if its later in the year, just say "the fall season." And as far as visitors or guests are concerned, there'll be little reason at all to mention "the winter Reason."
