Given fine weather, which hopes the Air Ministry choose to remain non-committal for a period comparatively so long Easter will see an easy record set up for the number of motorists on the roads. Just before the acme holiday last year we were told of the unprecedent rush taking place at the county and town halls and Post Offices for licences and at the offices of the motoring associations for membership badges, and for the details of tours.

The experience at these quarters is just now even more pronounced than it was then, for the simple reason that many thousands, more people are taking up motoring with the turn of another quarter and will spend their first Easter avvheel. When a Special Correspondent of the and North yesterday visited the Automobile Association and the Royal Automobile Club he found the touring departments aiready working at very high pressure, coping with poettive floods of inquiries for tours of all descriptions for the lictliday period. The activity was every bit as noticeable in the new numbers sections, which are always a good barometer of the motoring sitnistion. At Fannm Tlense," the A.A. head offices, it has been necessary this year to set apart an additional reception nom for the benefit of motorists toots Ahmed, and already the staffs in this department of the house are working at top pitch, which shows that many people will take their cars abrnad for the The same rush of inquiries is taking Hare at the R.A.C.

Incidentally, not a few inquiries have been male for Faster tours thiA year to the bulb gardens in the Spalding district of Lincolnshire. 'of England will he end highly suitable tor time-table purposes. There is CAIIC thing which motonst on tour should never fail to do, and that is to book their rooms at hotels as much in advance as possible.

On former Fester tours many nide assuming that, because the "season bad properly begun, they could take their chance in securing accommodation, found themselves badly let Eve if a motorist has not made up his mind where he is going to stay for a night, he can easily, from one of the ass viatees' telephone boxes on the road, which are always at his disposal, get into touch with hotels say hall-en-hour ahead to make sure whether or not he can get lodgings when he does arrive in the place. Another thing worth hearing in mind. with the increased volume on the roads during the holiday, is that near any corner is not the place to picnic, whether inside or outside the car. The more suitable place for such a purpose is by the aide of a very open road, where drivers proceeding in any direction can easily see the stationary ear. VISITORS FROM U.S.

AND CANADA. Quite a number of people from abroad, notably from America and Canada. will be over for Easter, and after the holiday, as is their wont, they will choose to see as much of our industrial centres as of our English scenery. It is authoritatively stated that nearly half of this of visitors, providing they are keen motorists, bring their cam Arrafifi with them, and the remainder either hire for the period of their visit or roirchase En oisli ears and eel) them again before they leave for homy. PROPOSED EMPIRE CLUB IN NEWCASTLE.

Brooks Buildings. Cosfortb TRAMP IN EUROPE." Mr Herbert Maryon, Sculpture Master at Armstrong College, Newcastle, "talked" to members of the Arts and Crafts Society yesterday about his "tramp" in Europe. He travelled from Reading to Denmark, and his tour subsequently embraced Copenhagen, Gothenberc, Stockholm, Danzic, Warsaw, Vienna, Dresden, Leiptile, Berlin. Hamburg, and other places, About each Mr Maryon had something of interest to relate, especially with reference to sculpture. NEWCASTLE AND POLICE AMBULANCE CONTEST.

Chief Constable Explains. In miswer to a question raised at yesterday's meeting of the Newcastle Watch Committee as to why a Newcastle team had not competed in the police ambulance competition, the Chief Constable explained that a team consisted of four men mid one reserve. There would be no objection to any five interested members of the force competing provided their trdning was performed in off-duty time. It should he understood, however, that the proficiency or otherwise of any team in no wise reflected the efficiency of the force as a whole in ambulance work. In Newcastle not only was general efficiency in ambulance work Mined nt, member of the force holding a St.

John's Ambulance certificate, with refresher courses every five years, but the needs of patients had been catered for in an unparalleled manner by an ambulance, supplied with complete first-aid requi tieing guaranteed to arrive nt the scene of nn accident at any hoar of the day or night within five minutes of a call being given from any police-box or rrivate, 'phone. Altogether, there are five police ambulances operating in connexion with the organization. The Chief Constable's explanation was accepted. REPORTS ABOUT ROADS.

Bolt road users have tong ere this come to tolerate as gracefully as they can such things as "road up" inconveniences. being mindful of the fart that it is as much to their own interest to that of everybody else that the roads ahe.iild be properly repaired where the ever-inercesing volumes of traffic hare rendered them dangerous. While on the subject of roads, it may be mentioned that at the time of writing the A.A.'s Newcastle report shows that the White Mare Pool is eonaideroil "dangerous, and some underpinning work is going on on the South Shields road.
