Survey Reveals Couple Trade Is Enriching ‘Shady’ Tourist Camps se Social Problem of Growing Menace Bared by Studies Made Outside of Dallas By NEA Service ‘The rows of neat, tree-shaded “tour ist cabins” that fringe the roads out- side almost every town are becoming @ social problem, if conditions re- vealed in a recent survey by the so- ciology department of Southern Meth- odist university are at all typical. The SMU survey shows that in “tourist camps” surrounding Dallas, Tex., nearly 75 per cent of the patrons are not tourists at all, but local couples who occupy the cabins for an hour or two and then give place to others. The investogators found that one cabin was rented 11 times. They found many proprietors of such camps who were quite frank in admitting that the “couple trade” was the mainstay of their business, Some admitted they actually discouraged the use of their camps by bona fide tourists. Tourists stay all night or longer, thus tying up a cabin that, might in the same period be rented several times to the “couple trade.” Shows Changed Attitude The SMU investigators presented their facts without comment except that “It is unquestionably true that the growth of these institutions and their toleration by the community are evidence of a changed public attitude toward non-marital intimacies.” Elbert L. Hooker presented in “Studies in Sociology” the results of the survey which was conducted by Clyde Irion and a staff of student in- vestigators. All the information was gathered at the camps, some by rent- ing cabins and observing what went on, some by inquiry among proprietors and patrons. The investigators found a strange development of an institution that started out a few years ago to be just what the name implied—“tourist camps.” The early ones, 10 years ago, were simply cleared camp sites, with common shelter house or store, and water, cooking, and toilet facilities. ‘Then the building of small cabins for rent followed. Now some of the camps are quite elaborate cabins, renting for as high as $4. Easy to Hide Identity Among the crowds of gypsying tour- ists, local couples find it easy to lose themselves and remain anonymous. Such camps are almost always located outside city limits, and thus beyond the supervision of city police or other euthorities. The cabins generally are unconditionally available to anyone who has the price. The Dallas investigators spent a OTICE TO CONTRACTORS STATE HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION 1.

Moodie, WPA administrator for North Dakota. In addition to its regular load of urban cases now approximately 9,700, the WPA was authorized to accept farm famélies referred to the Reset- tlement administration and certified to WPA up to a tentative figure of 25,000. “Mention of this figure, which was purely tentative, seems.to have been widely misconstrued,” said Moodie. “It distinctly does not mean that when 25,000 drouth victims have been taken on no more will be.

Willson, exe- cutive director of the State Public Welfare board, by Howard R. Wood, state director of the RA, and by him- self, be closely studied. It follows: “A farm family is in need and is! eligible for drouth relief aid when, as | & result of the drouth, the farm fam- ily does not have sufficient cash re- sources or income from the sale of farm products to provide adequate food, clothing and fuel for the fam- ily at the present time and for win- ter.

In short, farm families need not be destitute, but should be re- quired to sign an application for drouth relief assistance.” The WPA roll Thursday showed 21,179 emergency drouth farm case: OUT OUR WAY. 1 FOUND IT OVER THERE IN_A TRASH PILE -A GENUWINE OIL PAINTING WHY, IT MIGHT BE AN OLD!
