FASCINATING Delightful trips through the countryside,
over fine paved highways,
lead away from Salt Lake City to
many nearby points of interest. Fifteen miles to
the westward is the Great Salt Lake, offering the
novel thrill of water so dense with salt that you
can't sink! Beach interests center at historic Saltair,
with its delightful bathing, boating and
dancing. A couple of hours more of pleasant
driving brings you to the world-famed Salt Flats,
where Ab Jenkins of Utah has set 148 world
speed records and where Captain George E. T.
Eyston in 1938 drove his "Thunderbolt" at 357
miles per hour over the measured mile, a world
record which stands as an amazing challenge!
That the challenge will be met in 1939 is altogether
probable. Spectators find the drive to
the Salt Flats delightful and the show, thrilling.
