promoting recreational
vehicles are dead set on
changing that-putting a little
glamour and comfort into the
great outdoors.
Rough it?
Forget it.
One outfit held its annual
show here a few weeks ago. If
you think thdBgdrodcampfire
bit is popular today, you should
have seen the would-be out-
doorsmen pouring into the
acrestfized hall to see the
latest in nifty camping.
About z9#0 adults paid a
buck and a hap. .each in 2‘a
days just for the privilege of
window shopping—and often
buying on the spot.
What is available these
days?
You can start with a single
enclosed bunk attached behind
the cab of a pickup. After that
come trailer types or those sit-
ting in pickup trucks.
And from there you can go up
to'a 28-foot self-propelled job.
Depending on its luxury, a
camp vehicle can cost as much
as $22,000 and sleep six persons
in bunks—and a dozen more on
the floor if they believe in to-
getherness,
One of the first things a non-
camper must learn is that a
“recrational vehicle” Is not a
"mobile home.” A mobile
home is to be moved only
rarely and then only with a
professional driver.
Yet you can roar around the
country 365 days a year at the
wheel of a recreational vehicle
or towing one.
The ingenuity of man is not
demonstrated at its best in wir-
fall, thistle and asters may be flower patch offers a delicious
moved with care. But soil and
growth conditions must be the
same as those little plants have
been thriving in. For example,
you wouldn't move either pick-
erel-weed from its home near
tog a pinball table or designing
a space capsule. Its ultimate is
the recreational vehicle.
Into these the makers have
placed sinks, cookstoves,
ovens, lounges, beds, showers,
bathtubs, toilets, dinettes, and
lounge chairs for the driver if it
is a self-propelled item.
Also, refrigerators, sun-
decks, wardrobe closets,
carpets, garbage disposals,
popup TV aerials, built-in
vacuum cleaners, water heats,
water purifier.
Not all the vehicles have all
the frills but each has the bas-
ics for independent living.
Each has different extras.
One salesman at the show
told a questioner that he usual-
ly drives his recreational ve-
hicle at 100 miles an hour.
A couple of minutes later an-
other salesman called the
questioner aside and said,
‘‘Don’t believe all that stuff
about 100 miles an hour. He
was putting you on. Most
people drive at 55 or 60.”
| “Even at 55 miles an hour,”
he was asked,r’“how do you
keep all the things in here from
rattling around and falling to
the floor?"
| "Well," he admitted, “you
use a lot of unbreakable dishes.
Not many people fit these out
with imported porcelain, you
know._

BLIND SORTS SILVER
CHICAGO (AP) - Barry
Brooks still is bucking the line
despite blindness.
Brooks was a promising
young football player in 1959
when he received an injury
that led to blindness.
But misfortune hasn't de-
terred him from leading a nor-
mal family life.
Along with John McDonald,
another blind man, Brooks
daily sorts silverware in a 706-
room motor hotel where he has
been employed since 1967.
