The Catalina Bird Park with its
thousands of rare birds gathered
from the far corners of the world
intrigues the whiling away of
many pleasant hours studying and
observing their habits and inter-
esting antics, for here are birds
that talk and birds that dance,
birds that strut fine feathers.
Catalina lsi and has always
been the favored spot for amuse-
ment seekers and consequently
one sees .marble games, diggers,
and various types of coin-auto-
matic equipment throughout the
island. At the present time the
large five-foot tables are the fav-
orites on the island with the

during the past month by Fred
Reilly for the Erie Wedemeyer
Co., running a close second. Serv-
icing pin games on the island has
always been a pleasure for oper-
ators for here truly ean they com-

To enjoy Santa Catalina' Island
one should be prepared to stay a
week or more. The longer one
stays the more the charm of the
island and its many attractions
grow on you. If you can make
but a hurried trip between boats
or by plane, get a foretaste of
this vacation paradise and then
go back to enjoy it to the full;
for with practically every sport
and recreation of both mountain
and seashore, Santa Catalina cer-
tainly offers the "perfect vaca-
tion."
