reservations, historic army forts,
rodeos and, of course, the vast
prairies and rugged mountains
that are synonymous with the
great west.
The family vacationing on
these trails can proceed at a
leisurely pace. New England’s
“Heritage Trail,” for instance,
can be traversed in about ten
days—just right for a summer
vacation. Sendee stations along
the route are well supplied with
information for the motorist.
Best of all, vacationing by car
gives families an opportunity to
relax and learn about their coun-
try—together.

said softly. He held a pencil
poised over a small notebook.
“Well, you see, it’s like this.
I’m standing here, minding my

"What is your business, sir?”
“I sell soft drinks. You might
call me a soft drink vendor.”
“Yes, sir. Go on please.”
“Well, like I said, I’m stand-
ing here minding my own busi-
ness, when this guy walks up,
sticks a coin in my mouth, and
pushes my arm down.”
“He pushed you, eh? That’s
grounds for an assault charge,
you know.
“Not in my business. It’s part
of the deal. He pushes my arm
down and I cough up a bottle of
pop.”

interest along the Heritage Trail.
Heritage Trail was conceived
by the New England Hotel Asso-
ciation with the aid of automo-
bile clubs, historians and slate
recreational directors and the
petroleum industry. Thanks to
the enormous public interest in
the Trail, other sections of the
country are marking out historic
and scenic routes of their own.
Plans are now underway, for
example, to build the “Old West
Trail” through the stales of Ne-
braska, North and South Da-

“You were loo pooped to

"This guy is outraged. He
grabs my arm and flings it up

in my mouth to get his money
back, but I had already swal-
lowed it. Then he kicks me in
my middle until I think my coils
will break. He gets a bar and
beats me on the head.”
“And what did you do while
the man was beating you, sir?”
“I’m busy trying to cough up

“That’s a shame, sir.”
“Yeah, a shame. The Humble

sponsors us here in the Refinery)
say if this keeps up, they’ll
march every last one of us out

guys around here who won’t be
able to get a soft drink on the
job if we move out. Ask the
fellows to be patient with us if
we make mistakes; they can gel

This year during their sum-
mer vacations, many Humble
people, along with millions of
other Americans, will be taking
to the road in greater numbers
than ever before. The sight-see-
ing auto trip is probably today’s
most popular vacation activity—
and with good reason. There is
practically no part of the great
American panorama that cannot
be brought into focus from be-
hind the wheel of the family
automobile.
Take for example New Eng-
land’s famed “Heritage Trail.”
This well-marked system of high-
ways and by-ways wends its way
through more than 1,000 out-
standing historic, scenic, and cul-
tural attractions.
The 2,000-mile trail encom-
passes the most outstanding fea-
tures of every New England state.
The trip is ideal for a family
with school-age children because
it’s a living history course that
makes the Pilgrims, Indians and
Minutemen of the past take on
new interest and meaning. In
less than one day the visitor can
see Bunker Hill, Paul Revere’s
house, the U. S. Frigate Consti-
tution, the Boston Massacre
Scene, the sites of the battles of
Concord and Lexington, and
Longfellow’s Wayside Inn.
Heritage Trail lakes the mo-
torist along the picturesque
Maine coast with its rocks, pines,
sandy beaches and quaint ports;
past Vermont’s Green Mountains
and liny villages and then toward
Bennington, scene of the Revo-
lutionary War Ballle. The trail
then cuts east again to New
Hampshire with its “Currier and
Ives” picture-postcard scenery,
then onward to Massachusetts’
Greenfield and Old Deerfield
Village, scene of bloody Indian
massacres. Further along the
route, the traveler can visit Stur-
bridge Village, a recreated town
of Colonial days, and then pro-
ceed to Mystic Seaport, Narra-
gansett Bay, historic Providence,
and Newport (home of the Music
Festival and the famed Newport
mansions). Cape Cod, Povince-
town, Plymouth—these are only
I some of the many other spots of
