Wide Choice of Miami Hote I and Apartment Space Again Av. ailable to Winter Vacationists at Modest Rates For the first time since the end of the war, tropical Miami has ample space at modest rates for winter vacationists. l\liami papers now publish a full page of want ads daily, listing rooms, apartments, bungalows and cottages for rent. Even hotels booked solid right now are taking reservations for March and April. Rates vary, of course, but you have a wide choice of space from a few dol- lars a day on up to the range of ultra-lux- urious accommodations with private beaches and cabanas. Reason for all this is that Miami has re- covered from wartime crowding. The military units have long since moved. Hotels have been renovated and enlarged as materials be- came available. And new construction of 1947 added the amazing total of 15,000 new rooms of all types to the l\Iiami - liami Beach area. In this part of the United States, at least, the housing shortage is over. With Florida back to its leisurely way of life, and able to handle more visitors, the season is being extended this year. To match this, Delta's fast non-stop and express flights to l\1iami will be continued the length of the season. Chicago has non-stop service to Miami on the "Rocket." You leave at noontime and ar- rive in Miami for dinner. The " ite Rocket" is another fast Chicago-1\Iiami flight, stop- ping only at Cincinnati and Jacksonville. From the West, Florida visitors have fast service on the "Comet," from Fort Worth- Dallas through Atlanta to Miami. "Rocket" and "Comet" flights are luxurious DC-4's, combining speed with passenger comfort at no extra fares. Your travel agent can make quick arrange- ments for a Florida vacation. Delta has space on all flights, there and back. You'll find Florida wonderful now, in sharp contrast to sub-zero temperatures to the north, and you'll find this same balmy weather equally at- tractive through spring and summer. Plan now for a Miami vacation - swim- ming, p:olf, tennis, fishing, sailing, exploring the keys, sight seeing, horse races and jai- alai. Or, just loafing in the sun, watching palm trees sway and listen- ing to the pleasant whirr of somebody else pushing a lawn-mower. The horses will be run- ning at Hialeah until March You can be swimming or sun-bathing at Miami just a few hours after leaving any point on the Delta system by flying one of the jast new winter flights. 2, then Tropical Park opens from March 3 to April 17. Greyhound racing continues to May 31 and jai-alai until April 10. The In- ternational $10,000 Four-Ball golf match is scheduled March 6-9. On the water, the Biscayne Bay Regatta will be held April 10 and 11, while the fish- ing tournaments continue to June. One fish- ing tournament, the Rupper, is year-round. Charter boats, incidentally, are available at rates recently reduced. Pack your sport clothes, phone Delta, and you can relax in summer a few hours from now. New Points in East Texas Added to Routes of Delta A great industrial and business area of East Texas, made up of cities located above the biggest oil pool in the world, has been added to the routes of Delta. Passenger terminal at Gregg County Airport, one of nation's finest fields. Deltaliners now make four flights a day to and from the Gregg County Airport, the air terminal for Longview, Kilgore, Gladewater, Greggton and other nearby communities. These flights provide service over two sepa- rate Delta routes, one between Fort Worth and New Orleans, the other from Fort Worth to Atlanta and Miami. Few points in the world can equal the spectacular growth of this area. It started in 1930, when the East Texas oil field was dis- covered. Longview then had a population of 5,000, Kilgore only 850. Today, Longview has grown to over 30,000 and Kilgore to some 14,000. Other cities above the pool show the same trend. In all, the field has 22,834 producing wells. Since the first gushers came in, the field has settled down to steady production and in 18 years two billion barrels of oil have been produced. Yet it is estimated that over four billion barrels are still recoverable. Longview, Kilgore and their neighbors are headquarters for all phases of the petroleum industry - drilling, production, refining, pipe lines, machine shops and supply stores. But other industries have appeared, drawn by natural resources. Bulldozers, earth movers, plows, electric motors, tools and textiles are a few typical products. Two recent develop- ments will accent this industrial influx. North of Longview, at Daingerfield, a new plant turns out a thousand tons of pig iron a day. A few miles from the airport, work is start- ing on the Lake Cherokee electric power project. It will have an eventual output of 150,000 kilowatts. Thus oil, natural gas, elec- tric power, steel and iron, plus skilled labor from fast-growing cities, are expected to add even more to the economic growth of East Texas.
