Price Tag Is Factor as Florida Offers Third Season of Year By CHARLES YARBROUGH Star Travel Editor There are several schools of thought on what makes the test "season” In Florida—all of them learned and logical. The first would be those devotees of sunshine and balmy weather in winter; the tourists who built Florida as a true, pure winter resort. Then came the second school, made up of the summer vacationer who grants to take the family along with full advantage of the summer rates before school opens. Lodging and Links The third set of vacation thinkers, Just now beginning to get into their prime, are those who can get the children's house tours. House Tours Set at York YORK, Pa. Some of York County’s most distinctive homes will be open to the public Saturday, September 29, from 10 am. to 5 pm., in the first house and garden tour. Proceeds Of the tour will be used for restoration of the Golden Plough Tavern and Gates House, two 18th century buildings in downtown York.

(Between the Metropolitan Club and Rochester Smith Hotel) THE SUNDAY STAR Washington, D.C., September 11, 1912 checked into school and head for Florida and its still-low prices. From lodging to links, dining to dancing, holiday fun and lazy comfort are the high attractions, but for many a budget-watcher, the price tag is the top billing. Low summer rates in hotels and apartments will continue through October —costs in a range from $35 a week to $15 a day double. For families who don’t mind a minor interruption in the pursuit of education, the Miami Beach program is geared to accept children of visitors. There are also a number of private schools. Children Welcomed The Beach recreation department maintains an extensive program for children as well as adults, with a staff of trained supervisors. Miami is offering a 385-event schedule for the months ahead, diversified enough to suit all ages and tastes, with football and racing getting underway the last weekend of this month. As an example of the vigor with which Florida tour interests lure the vacationer, Naples, on the southwest coast, is offering package tours for the first time in the community’s history—nine choices of a variety of prices from now until December 7. The tours touch every facet of Naples and Collier County, one of the last big, virtually untapped recreational frontiers. 63 DAY SEA-SAFARI CRUISE 'ROUND AfRICA INCLUDES: MEDITERRANEAN SOUTH AMERICA plus CARNAVAL IN RIO. on the SS ARGENTINA America’s newest Cruise Liner from New York February 13, 1963 (from Port Everglades, Fla., Feb. 15, 1963) 19 Ports Of Call: CARIBBEAN: Barbados, SOUTH AMERICA: Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Santos (Sao Paulo), Montevideo, Buenos Aires.

A new crop of tourists is invading St. Petersburg now, and is receiving even more than the usual welcome and hospitality. These tourists won’t spend much money on lodging, meals or entertainment, but the economy of the area is definitely beholden to them. The tourists flying in are the four-winged dragonflies. Why is the "Sunshine City" happy to see the dragonflies? As it turns out, these insects exist primarily on Culex migrations that's mosquitoes. Right now, no better sight exists than eradication of the mosquito who has created more than a small amount of dismay. Conversely, the dragonflies stay away from humans and go quietly about their business of eating mosquitoes.
