thusiasts. In a foreword. Harry
Miller, director of the research CEN
ter, says:
1T is significant that almost every
hotel and motor court owner we
questioned has at one time or an
other accepted guests with dogs.
In many cases where a hotel or
motor court has a no-dogs allowed
policy, the management explained
that they had been forced to take
this stand because of unfortunate
experiences with badly behaved dogs
and irresponsible dog-owners. !
Few managers would object to
canine guests if travelling dog
owners observed the following rules:
Dogs should be kept on leash
when in public rooms and passage
ways. Dogs-'Seeing Eye dogs ex-
cepted-should not be taken into,
dining rooms. Owners should exer-
else and care for their own dogs
and not make kennelmen of the
bellboys. Guests should expect to
pay for any damage done by their
dogs. An unframed dog should
be confined 70 a crate or sleeping
box in motor courts or hotel rooms"
The booklet points out that in
some cases hotel guests are required
to sign a statement Of responsibility
for any damage his dog may do
to hotel property. Other conditions
prescribed by hotels might include
acceptance of small dogs only or,
during dog shows, arrangements at
nearby kennels, small extra charges
for dogs or special rooms for dogs
and owners.
A few tips that may help make
it more pleasant to have your dog
as a travelling companion" are Civ
en-: A small kit or suitcase with
the dogs belongings will prove a
convenience. 1t should contain two
pans Zone for food, one for water)
a mixing spoon, knife, can opener
and package of dry dog food. The
most satisfactory practice when
motoring is to stop sometime in the
late afternoon and purchase for the
evening meal small amount of
whatever is added to the dry dog
food-meat, milk or canned broth
A blanket or cushion should be
| brought along for the dog to sleep
on. Travelling dogs should have an
Identification tag on their collars,
giving their owners full name and
address, including the State.

The old European game of take
the American tourist" so popular
in the l920s, has been revived with
gusto at all points of the grand tour
from Ostend to Capri" So writes
Lionel Shapiro in recent article
for the North American Newspaper
Alliance. He explains:
In 1916 and 1947, when American
travel in Europe represented only a
trickle of persons on essential busi-
ness, prices for them were more or
less the same as for the natives.
Today there are two sets of prices,
one for the native and the other
