The day will end there with one of the boys reciting Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address at the Gettysburg Ad dress Memorial Accomodations for eating and sleeping at stops along the way hive been arranged for the en tire trip. In most cases these stops will be the same the Mack ey Tours have made in previous years. History is not the only point of the trip, however. Some time will be spent in New York City. While there the group will visit Coney Island, take a boat trip around Manhattan and visit the Finger Lakes region. There will also be time for shopping and swimming.

This is 74 per cent of the 1,- 181,000 acres in cultivation last 1 July. The 1943-52 average was 1,071,000 acres. The decrease from last year is due principally to government acreage control.
