Don't postpone your family
vacation this summer for fear of
the cost. Research conducted by
the Thermos Contemporary
Living Center found that people
who gosamping use one-third
the energy they yvould have used
had they stayed home.
Planning is the lcey to a
thrifty, successful trip that will
fill your family's recreational
needs:
Gas cost and supply do im-
pact on traveling 'plans today.,
Smart travelers, therefore,
make fewer trips, but stay in one
place longer. '
Every city in the country is
within 50 miles of a national or
state park, forest or recreation
area and countless private recre-
ational facilities. -
