Sweating Middletonians are avoiding vacation trips to Sunny California ths summer. Instead, they are packing their bags, stuffing themselves into planes and automobiles, and escaping to Florida, the Sunshine State. Those are the trends seen by Louis B. McCallay, head of travel bureau at the First National Bank, and Martin Thomas, director of the Butler County Automobile Club. No one can explain the logic behind these moves, but trips to Florida are up and trips to the Far West are down. Thomas did say, however, that an intense heat wave plus a series of storms have hit the Golden State in recent weeks, and that could account for its decline as a tourist attraction...
