ISwinAN APPARATUS FOR RECRLATION'T1 HEREhave been, sinceChristian reckoningtheof time.exactly one thousand, nine hundred and forty-five Junes, uptill now. And herecomesanother one, none the worsefor wear, and not one shadeless wonderful because it hashappened before. In many ways,June is a state of mind. It mayhappen to you in the middle ofwinter, for all we know, ortoward the end of September.But mostly it comes around between May and July-whetheryou're looking for it or not.Even if you didn't look at thecalendar, you'd know it by itsancient, reliable signs: by thesound of Lohengrin, by rosessinging on the fence like musicwritten in reds and pinks upona staff of wire, and by themiraculous gradual widening ofthe bright world.Not that the pretty monthdoesn't have its solemn note.Running counterpoint to "ILove You Truly" is the inevitable theme of doom, compounded of greed and fear, themumble of ancestral voicesprophesying war, punctuated bythe rumble of old battle drums.The month of rice and rosesfinds the world in a conditionnot exactly rosy. And the ricethat should bless the weddingmust fill the empty bowls ofstoning countries. This yearwhen the young Launfals rideforth, they will find their poorlepers multiplied millions oftimes. And not one of us isguiltless of these beggars. Morereason, then, that we shouldshare our crust, and our caviar.And reason, too, to share ourlaughter if we have it still, andany exultation that comes witha joyous season. For it is ajoyous season, essentially, bytradition and by weather. Because we creatures love the sunand the gentle warmth of latespring. We expand in it, mellow, and grow kind. Winter isa thing that never was on landor sea. It's as if you had foldedit away like a woolen blanket.And if the moths consume it,you'll never care.

LET'S GO5JhingHow about a Swing up throughWisconsin and Upper Michigan?Here are some inside tips!by D. W. HODGINSKOSHKONONG, Winnebago,Waupaca, Ontonagon, Escanaha, Minocqua, Tomahawk?What is this, injun double talk?Well, how about Shawano, Weyauwega, Menominee, Eau Claire andEagle River?No, brethern and sistern, these arefamous summer playgrounds in theheart of America's most colorfulcountry, the Wisconsin-Upper Michigan vacation land.It is the land of the sky blue waterswhere rustic highways arched bystately forests wind through mirrored lakes; where nimble deer boundacross the road in front of your car;where lakes are so numerous thatthere has never been an accuratecount of them.Would you like to do your campshopping in a small city of ten orfifteen thousand -where 90 per centof the people are dressed in slacks,shorts and other vacation attire?Would you like to walk into a spotless dairy and say, off -handed like,"ten pounds of butter, and pack itin ice to take back to Kansas City,please."Okay then, how about 50 or 60nice perch, blue gills or crappies inone evening of fishing, and havingan open air fish fry in the back yardof your cabin, topped off with somegenuine Wisconsin brew?Wisconsin and Michigan resortowners realize that when a persontakes a vacation, he wants it to bea vacation, that is not tied down byrestrictions with which he has tocontend the year around back home.For example, slot machines andpay -off pinball machines are just asmuch against the law in Michiganand Wisconsin as they are in Missouri. However, during the touristseason it is not hard to find anythingyou want along those lines, from thereally big games in the swank resortsof the far north, down to the smallroadhouses in the woods at thousandsof crossroads.However, drunken driving will geta man into serious trouble as quicklyas anything can. Wisconsin peace officers realize that if people come upthere and get killed, it will eventuallykill off business. Some of the smalltowns in Upper Michigan andNorthern Wisconsin depend entirelyon the tourist trade. Surrounded by
4June, 1946,S7cain forests and lakes, agriculture is impossible. Naturally, they must makevacation hay while thesun shines.Prices in this vacation land are high but not exorbitant. Food is generally cheaperthan it is here, and the average cottageweekly rental, on a good lake withboats and fishing accommodationsfurnished, usually runs no more than 35 a week.However, if you want to go toKing's Gateway, at Land o' Lakes,on the Wisconsin -Michigan border,you can splurge. This place is a vacation city within itself. It has an airport with 4,500 -foot runways, alarge hotel, 18 -hole golf course andevery vacation accommodation youdesire. You can spend a lot, or youcan get by within reason. It's yourmoney.Wisconsin -Michigan vacations maybe had for almost any amount ofmoney you want to spend, and youcan get there by train, plane orautomobile.Oconomowoc, Lake Geneva, LakeKoshkonong and some of the classierresorts in the southern part of Wisconsin are more expensive than upnorth. Moderately priced are suchregions as Lake Winnebago, LakePoygan, Shawano Lake, PickerelLake, Three Lakes, Tomahawk, Wausau, Rhinelander, and the Chain o'Lakes at Waupaca. Minocqua andEagle River run into just a little moremoney.Wisconsin resorts may be reachedby automobile and are about 650miles northeast of Kansas City. Thedriving route isthrough Des Moines, Mar shalltown and Dubuque, Iowa, into southeasternWisconsin.Rail connections aregood, too. For example,there's the Southwest Limited on theMilwaukee road leaving Kansas Citydaily at 7:10 p.m., arriving in Milwaukee at 9:45 p.m. From there youcan take the Northwestern, Milwaukee Road or Soo Line to any pointin Wisconsin or Upper Michigan.The Flambeau on the Northwesternruns from Chicago to Eagle Riverdaily, and return. It is a non- reservation, daylight train, through Fonddu Lac, Appleton, Green Bay, Shawano, Antigo, Three Lakes and EagleRiver. The Milwaukee Road runstwo streamliners, the Chippewa andthe Hiawatha west, northwest, andinto the Upper Peninsula.Plane connections to Chicago maybe negotiated on Braniff or TWA,while another good bet is Mid- Continent to Rochester, Minn., and Northwest to Milwaukee or Madison. Forexample, you can leave K. C. at 6:30in the evening and be in Madisonbefore midnight.Connections at Chicago may bemade with Wisconsin Central Airlines, a network of passenger linesdeep into the resort country. A twoand a half -hour trip from K. C. toChicago, and from two to three hourson Wisconsin Central, and there youare. For reservations on this line writeto Wisconsin Central Airlines, Clintonville, Wisconsin.A Wisconsin- Michigan vacationbest
LET'S GO FISHING!should cost a family of four no morethan 250 by automobile. Howeverby rail or plane it might go higher.Lining up a trip to the north country from this distance is always aproblem, and writing to Chamber ofCommerce officials usually does notbring desired results. They will sendyou travel folders which will net youno more information than you already have.The best way is to write to thenewspapers which publish specialvacation editions; and all of them inthe resort country do that every year!Better enclose a 50 -cent piece andask for their vacation edition. Hereis a list of papers where you mightwrite: Appleton Post Crescent, Appleton, Wisconsin; Wausau Record Herald, Wausau, Wisconsin; MerrillDaily Herald, Merrill, Wisconsin;Shawano Evening Leader, Shawano,Wisconsin; Vilas County Times,5Eagle River, Wisconsin; MarquetteDaily Times; Marquette, Michigan;Escanaba Daily Journal, Escanaba,Michigan; Rhinelander News, Rhinelander, Wisconsin, and the AntigoDaily Journal, Antigo, Wisconsin.Another good shot is to write tothe Milwaukee Journal Travel Bureau,4th and State, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and ask for vacation folder onWisconsin and Michigan, and a Sunday edition of the Journal. Whenyou get the newspaper, turn to theclassified section and you'll have awide selection of where to go andwhom to contact.Your poorest bet is to start outfrom home "cold," trusting to luckthat a nice cabin on a lake full offish awaits you at the end of the longjourney. If you insist on doing itthat way, don't be surprised to findyourself sleeping in some farmer'shaystack.A young widow commissioned a monument cutter to inscribe on her husband's tombstone: "My Sorrow Is More Than I Can Bear."Before the work was finished the widow married again, and the cutterasked her if she still wanted the inscription."Yes," she answered, "but I want the word 'Alone,' added."One thing about hell-it's the only institution still mentioned without aprefixed "pro" or "anti."With history piling up so fast, practically any day nowanniversary of something awful.is afirst or secondHere is an idea of Chinese psychology. "Why don't you oil that squeak inyour wheelbarrow ?" a coolie was asked. His answer: "The squeak is cheaperthan the oil."

if you want to get hep to thisslanguage, bone up on the witBe a solid sender!parade.by JOHN QUINNAPOSTLE OF 09atierwochyHOPE your birthday's just perf!Geetchie, cagey, snazzy, sharp,that is, I mean. Rooty, tooty, reet,terrif, hope it's simply keen! But def,I mean.Well, wind me up and call mecranky. What kind of jabber is that?And from one so young? What'she talking about?No, your ears didn't deceive you.Yes, you did hear it from that slickchick next door, or able gable inthe corner casbahtranslate, youngman in the corner drug store. It'sjust a hep character's way of saying-to"happy birthday."But don't worry. Those keenteeners know what they are saying.They are not speaking a foreignlanguage. They are speaking the language they love, and they call itjabberwocky and jive.If you want to get hep to thisswingy slanguage, bone up on thewit parade, for this nonsense is thething that makes sense to the solidsenders.Jabberwocky and jive have beenaround a long time and in variousforms. In grandpa's day it was, "Oh,you kid! ", "Twenty- three, skidoo! ",and the purveyors were dandies andpretty babies.Today it's "Jet- propelled," "Getlost, frosty," and the purveyors arewolfs, first class, or cruisin' susans(gals who get around). The keenteeners have taken up the conversation piece in earnest and in their owninimitable way have evolved theirelusive, exclusive slanguage.Jabberwocky and jive are morethan a manner of speaking. They indicate that the teen ager has comeinto his own, a sign that the cokeset Rot only has a speech all its own,but a world all its own.This world is fostered by manypresent day influences, among themsuch national magazines as CallingAll Girls, Deb, Seventeen, MissAmerica, and Woman's Home Companion. Calling All Girls has madejabberwocky its very own province,publishes handbooks on the lucidlingo, much as did the Army onlanguages for the GI in foreign lands.
June, 1946Swing8A number of people share thecredit for this focus on the coke set.Among these are Nancy Pepper,Winifred Snyder, Walt Disney, CarlEd and Betty Betz. Miss Pepperdoubles as editor of fashion and jabberwocky for Calling All Girls. Arecent chore was to devise ways andmeans of weaving "hubba -hubba" intocostumes. That it can be done bytyping the phrase on a white hair ribbon, by painting it on variousplaces with nail polish, by sewingit on sweaters, and other means areresults of the Pepper plotting.Miss Snyder is regarded as oneof the ablest writers of the Foote,Cone andBeldingAdvertisingAgency, a ready Hedy at attractingteen age attention.Walt Disney has made bobbysoxers a principal part of his movie,"Make Mine Music." And always,of course, Carl Ed and his HaroldTeen strip, and other Comics.1.2.3.4.S.All these have their following, butthe one who has all followings andis the real apostle of teen agism isMiss Betz. As cartoonist, editor andwriter for Woman's Home Companion, Seventeen, National RotaryMagazine and others, she is the epitome of their world.She can speak and write their language as easily as the average persontalks back. For the uninitiate she iscompiling a "coke -abulary" of jabberwocky. They say parents will studythis book like mad to catch up withtheir offspring, much as we used touddystay igpay atinlay to catch upto our big sister.Betty Betz first won accolades ofthe teen world designing playsuits,petticoats and other fashions. She itwas who beribboned and beruffledthe petticoat into the slip which canand does show top and bottom.
