M'jillcr, Main mounts aint-t-r now living in Reno, has supplied mr with the results of a hobby of hi.s--collecting 'loners' published in the nation's newspapers.

Returns as she has each year--to vacation at Cal-Neva--where sha got her start on the road to stardom. In 1935, the three Garland sisters sang at Cal-Neva. The youngest, Judy, was very young: "thirteen, going on fourteen." At Cal-Neva, that summer, the sister act broke up: One of the older sisters married; young Judy was offered a contract--signed it--tripped to New York to sing. Sang her way to Hollywood and fame. It bears out one of the many nice things said of her--that she is quite unspoiled--her return, summer after summer, to the place, where she got her start: Cal-Neva.

(If you remember other visits there, when she responded-with evident delight--to requests for "songs by Judy know what a charmer she is.) And the Glamour Girls remain! Sally Rand's show has made so great hit at Cal- Neva that the engagement has been extended for at least two weeks more. They were practicing several new acts when I was up there Monday afternoon, and Sally Rand told me about a new number planned for the first nightly floor show, called "In this number," Miss Rand said, "the girls have a complete new angle. I advise everybody to cornt up to Cal-Neva and see what kind of fish they catch at Lake Tahoe." I am not to reveal any more. It's a surprise--but in that number, I guarantee, there is a shock! For the benefit of those newly arrived in Reno: Cal- Neva is "the Castle in the Air" --famous resort built across the boundary line of two states you dine and dance in California and play in Nevada: Cal-Neva. When a woman drives from Reno to Tahoe for a loaf of bread--that's news! But so is that bread! Next time you're at Crystal Bay--try their oven-fresh hot breads--Scotch scones fresh fruit turnovers (last time I stopped, they were making their FIFTH batch that crisp, flaky pastry: Brooks Bakex-y.

In the office there was a heap of brand new luggage: gladstones--fitted cases--traveling moving?" I asked "Nobody those are prizes for Amateur Night." Quite something! (How well can you strut your stuff?) If you wish to go for the prizes--or for the fun of watching those who do--every Wednesday night is Amateur Night at Lake Tahoe's largest ballroom: Bal Bijou. P. Friday's Barn Dance. Stop--on the highway two miles west of Cal-Neva--at Tahoe Vista Garage--for gasoline and first-class mechanical service. E.

"The meals are fine," wrote a California columnist of Tahoma's dining room and hake- shop, "but the cakes, pies, and hot breads won me a vacation without dress-as-you-please, do-as-you-like, comfortable vacation: Tahoma is the resort (Mr. and Mrs.

ZEPHYR COVE 8SACH STATE tlNE COUNTRY CLUB AL80URNE ORAN06 BAKERY VAOA too CAL-MSVAtOD TAttOE ViSTA GARAGE LAKE TAHOE i Albourne Orange Bar is more than just stand where you're served orange juice: First, it's attractive and spotlessly clean. Second, oranges are squeezed immediately upon your order--not before. (Doctors sav orange juice loses much of its healthful, beneficial qualities if it is allowed to stand.) Third--another health factor: Albourne oranges are the fruit of Albourne Rancho--the one grove in California oroduc- ing mineralized fruit. (Mineral colloids are fed through soil and roots to the trees.) As to flavor--suit your taste --by stooping at Albourne Orange Bar--on the Nevada shore, three miles ndrth. of State Line.

You may not find one available--one of those charming Waleswood Lodge cottages. Others also find them charming. Don't take a chance of moving right in and setting up housekeeping. Make sure-by phoning Mrs. Jean Wales-Tahoe 313--for reservations.

There's a quaint attraction about a general store--one room where you buy everything from soup to nuts. Anrl this one is brought up to date with a very modern coffee shop off to one side: It's at Zephyr Cove Beach- where you go for picnics. But this is to tell you that if the picnic idea sours--you can get three good and square meals a day--at the Wylie's: Zephyr Cove Beach. An additional service: direct wire results from metropolitan race tracks--direct to Ta- Neva-Ho! While you enjoy a cocktail or highball, you follow your equine favorite, practically hoof by hoof: at the center of fun--Earle Corbett's Ta-Ncva- Ho. Johnny Rayburn invites you to look over the hotel rooms and cabins of Cal-Vdda.

So attractively and so individually are they furnished and decorated, that I'll add my bit and tell you they mubt be seen to be appreciated. For thoroughly enjoyable surroundings while you're vacationing and becoming a Nevadan--I can recommend "the Monte Carlo of Lake Just one nights --more, my i i hear Clyde Lucas and his orchestra at State Line Country Club. AND--because you'll have plenty of company when you go to hear and dance, to the Lucas outfit--take my advice: reserve a table. (This is to avoid assault--on me. One man told me he'd like to break my soandso little neck for not a i him before he went to Slate Line.

He said the crowd was had to wait for a table--and ho no like to wait.) Haven't 1 been saying Slate Line is always jammed? That orchestra ind that show draw what I nerm.
