The Jubilee sleeps seven Travel By Jerry Diamond MOTOR travel to Seattle's World's Fair this summer is apt to burden the highways of the northwest with a traffic load unequalled in the history of the region.

The National Automobile Club reports more than 1,000 routing requests received through the mails alone during the past month. According to travel counsellors, telephone inquiries have greatly exceeded that number and the figure is expected to skyrocket In the ensuing months. The club is issuing four primary routes of travel to aw 3 DAYS A furtoaW emlte visits to interesting countries and ln cum of Lima, Buenos Aires, Momevwee mi inciuomf lortet rtrui tniiei Thomas.

Of utmost Importance, travelers are urged to make advance en route reservations for accommodations. Many hotels and motels, according to automobile club officials, report full bookings as much as one month in advance. Secondly, whenever, possible, motorists are advised to plan trips to run through the mid-part of the week. Normal weekend vacation traffic combined with World's Fair visitors could cause congestion on major thoroughfares, especially at entry and exit points of Oregon metropolitan areas. The four routes recommended by the National Automobile Club are as follows: 1 Highway 99 to Weed, Oregon.

Take Highway 97 to State Highway 58 in Oregon. Highway 58 connects with Highway again running into Seattle. Distance 823 miles. Scenic highpoints Lake Shasta and Mount Shasta. Crater Lake may be visited by taking the loop off Highway 97 between Weed and turn off to Highway 58.

The short excursion will add 28 miles to the trip. 2 Highway 99 straight would be beautiful when we'd start out in the morning, but we'd get hell beaten out of us coming home. Donna (Mrs. Petersen) decided if that was boating, she didn't want any." So they moved their boat up the river, then found that they didn't require its sea-worthiness there. Comfort became more important, and Jubilee was designed and filled the bill.

The boat is berthed at Frank's Harbor on Bethel through to Seattle. Distance, 840 miles. This route requires passing through the towns of Ashland, Medford, Grants Tass and Roseberg which are bypassed by Highway 97. The auto club points out, however, that by traveling through the four cities vacationers may find it easier to obtain overnight accommodations. 3 Highway 39 to Weed, Oregon.

Highway 97 through to Seattle. Distance, 862 miles. 4- Highway 101 through to Seattle. Distance, 905 miles. This coast highway route not only is the longest major thoroughfare to the World'i Fair, it is also considered tht slowest to drive.

With a cruising speed of 10 miles per hour provided by its 125-h orsepower Chrysler Crown engine, Jubilee is mobile enough for the Petersens' needs.

Scenically, 101 far surpasses other routps of travel.

Since northern California and Oregon have a network of smaller roads, travellers may plan their own alternates to these four major routes.
