ON DECEMBER 8 



MORE than 500 Illinois Farm Bureau 

 folks will be knocking on the 

 Golden Gate Dec. 8 according to the 

 number of requests for reservations re- 

 ceived thus far at the lAA offices in 

 Chicago. 



Illinois farmers leaving for the an- 

 nual meeting of the American Farm 

 Bureau Federation in San Francisco 

 will be going along on one of the most 

 colorful business-pleasure trips ever 

 sponsored by the lAA. 



The trip includes views of America's 

 picturesque West — deserts, mountains 

 and the Pacific ocean. Side trips will 

 be made in New Orleans with breakfast 

 in a French restaurant, at San Antonio 

 where a five-hour stopover will include 

 a visit to the historic Alamo, at El Paso 

 for a jaunt to the Carlsbad Caverns, 

 at Juarez in Mexico, and at Phoenix 

 and Los Angeles for views of the most 

 outstanding parts of the cities. 



Reservations for the trains leaving 

 Chicago Dec. 1 and returning to Chi- 

 cago Dec. 15 are coming in at such a 

 rate, according to Roy P. Johnson, lAA 

 Director of Special Services who is in 

 charge of arrangements for the trip, 

 that hotel accommodations for 500 per- 

 sons have been made in San Francisco. 



Johnson said that accommodations 

 would be assigned just as soon as pos- 

 sible. Those on the lAA tour will be 

 assigned to hotels by counties as much 

 as possible. 



Although the OPA recently lifted 

 ceilings from the price of meals served 

 in railway dining cars, as the RECORD 

 goes to press it is understood that the 

 price of the trip will remain essentially 

 the same as originally quoted. The 

 price of the trip averages around $200 

 per person.
