Sign after sign tell the travel- ler that he is 30 miles from the largest: snake farm in the world —that Indian curios can be pur- colased at the next gas station --lor that he can see real live buffalos at the next stop, For any one who has travelled through the States, one of the most significant differences he "'es is the number of signs ^long the roadside. Although there is really nothing of im- eertance to see in the surround- ; ••, countryside, it would be ,a1- most impossible because of the eenglomeration of signs that are aced along the highway. These .inns are placed. as far as 100 Hies from the attraction that ieey proclaim, and are placed after that at five-mile intervals well you come to within five riles of the attraction, and then they are placed every halt mile or so. Our first stops included a trip in the Painted Desert and the v'etrified Forest in Arizona. '^liese attractions' are included rh most travellers' itineraries, "it if you visit the Grand, Car- een, then they are actually —nerfluous because the same '''ings can be seen nn a much I •rger scale at the Grand r en yue, Leaves you breathless Called one of. the wonders of the world, the • Grand Canyon aetually leaves one breathless ae he views the wide expanse of canyon walls and mile deep ravines. Fortunately we arrived at the canyon at sundown, and the v.hole expanse of rock was e'eaze with color. A trip around l'.e canyon walls would take a eerson over 200 miles, so we merely 'viewed the scene from several vantage points on the southern rim, We don't know who first dis- rnvered the canyon, but it must have given him quite a thrill as he came through the forest and ,he stopped. at the edge to view the scene before him. The~kt etrain around the canyon would not give a person any idea of 'the sights that would unfold be- fere him as he stepped out of the first. In feet, if he had been running or riding through the forest he could easily have donned right off one of the high Peaks, es they start right at the very edge of the ,stitroundieg forest, Sightseers 'WY take a trip dewn to the floor of the canyon ne sure-footed donkeys. These eenkey,e follow a trail that looks like it was made by a large writhing snake. Althotigh there were no donkeys on. the trail at t'',e late time we arrived, we n"wld see several Bikers who eed descended to the bottom of the canton on foot. These, people were just small dots as they wended theit way slowly to the tep of the canyon. tWo Yieeri `of cement The' beet 'point of interest Was BY BiLl,, 1SATTEN As every schoolboy knows, one of the favorite English essay topics is.

In fact, some of the gambling casinos downtown don't even appear to have doors on them. Except for the early morning hours (we were told this), the casinos are a hive of activity as people try to win their fortunes on slot machines, dice, black jack, roulette, wheels of fortune and keno. Prices range from the penny slot machines to the black jack tables with a maximum bet 61 $500, Adults of all, ages and from every walk of life can be Hoover Dam ' Boulder Dam.'

Women who would appear to be grandmothers can be seen sitting on the stools feeding the slot machines, e(hile men dressed in fine dress •,suits can be seen at the various other gambling games, Any type of dress is suitable for a tour of the Strip, as you see women in mink stoles and evening dresses mingling with tourists with their slacks or shorts on. Each of the gambling halls has a bevy of beautiful girls who wait on the needs of the "paying:' customers. These girls deliver " free beverages, sand- wiches and cigarettes to the patrons in an effort to keep them at 'the tables or the ma- chines and not have to go else- where for meals or refresh- ments. Change girls walk amongst the players and they can be summoned to a slot machine by merely pushing a button.
