81 million for improvement of
north-south U. S. highway q
in Georgia this year, members
of Highway 27 Association were
told recently at their annual

to many famous and interesting
places. Among them are Chick

along with prices. It is fascinat-
ing reading for the armchair
traveller and can be the inspira-
tion for the "trip Of q lifetime. !"
A Pacific vacation is about as
easy to arrange as q trip TO
Europe.
Some Of the literature, how
ever, lacks one item that is Of
concern to Americans going into
strange lands. It is tipping.
which affects not only the wallet
but also the American travellers
desire to stand in well with the
foreign people who serve him.
For various reasons-one being
to stay on the safe side-he has
a tendency to overdo tipping.
Over the world. the British COM
monwealth peoples can attest the
fact that he is overgenerous and
thereby complicates their living.
Advice Gathered
Hundreds of thousands of
Americans have learned some-
thing of Europe's tipping prac-
tices in their travels since the
war But what of tipping in the
Pacific area? Pan American
World Always, which serves that
region as we'll as other far flung
places of the globe, thought the
idea interesting enough to ex-
plore and polled its representa-
tives throughout the area to give
advice to its patrons.
The advice sheet starts with
these down-to-earth questions:
do walters scare you? Does
worrying about the tip spoil your
meal? If you suffer from this
waiter neurosis, don't be con-
cerned: you're just like every one
else"
Then it gives a rule of thumb,
summed up from its survey. The
rule is 10 per cent in that part
of the world, and it adds, That's
the average, but nearly all points
say if you get a little extra serv-
Ice, you raise the ante a bit"
Tip-Minded Now
The tips on tipping go on to
add the following:
Reports from Australia are
precise about amounts but blame
present-day tipping there on
Americans.
The British races are not "tip-
happy" like Americans, the re-
port goes, and before World War
II tipping was at a low ebb in
Australia. Before the war wait
resses recoiled at small change
left on the table in ordinary
restaurants, but now they look
for it.
Visitors are the only ones who
tip taxi drivers.
Tips for ordinary services re-
volve around the humble shilling.

back again on a dollar basis and
you'll be rewarded for your gen.
erosity-and probably penalized
for stinginess-just the same as
in New York, San Francisco Or
Sauk Center.
But if you really want to get
away from tipping altogether, go
to OkinaWa. The succinct report
from that island reads:
"An American tourist is almost
unheard of in Okinawa. How
ever, Americans, military or
otherwise, usually do not tip at
ALL"
Evening star., 1954-10-31

For more service, two shillings
will do. For good service at one
of the better dining rooms or
night spots walters expect 5
shillings and seldom get more
than a 10-Shilling note.
An Australian pays what he
thinks is enough if he intends to
tip at all. He tolerates no kicks
about the size of the tip. In
general, Australians take a dim
view of tipping.
Across the Tasman Sea, in New
Zealand, they are more conserva-
tive. Visitors should be warned
that tipping is not nearly as
prevalent here as it is in other
countries.
The recommendation is that
you tip them with the coin near
est in size to what you would tip
at home. If you give a quarter
at home, a New zealing shilling
"a cents). When you are served
drinks, the custom is to tip the
waiter a shilling for the first
round and sixpence q cents
for subsequent rounds. New Zea-
land taxi drivers don't expect
tips.
Fijis' Tipping Scale
If you should happen to go to
the Fiji Islands, the tipping tariff
is well laid out. To porters car

of the bill df you can figure it
out in pounds, shillings and

In Japan, where they had
American tourists before the war,
they are used to tipping. The
rule there is 10 per cent, and
often the hotel puts it on the
bill. In Hong KONG the custom
is from 10 to Is per cent.
In the Philippines l44ySe who
serve you. and they are many,
are quite tip-conscious. But the
report from Manila says, You
can feel at ease if you follow
United States tipping practice

slightly higher"

Last week. the Notebook
carried a small item about a
poll revealing a great interest in
Hawaii as a vacation land. If he
had the money, the average
tourist would be on his way to
that pleasantly different bit Of
the United States in the Pacific.
That's what the polls voting
machine recorded.
AS a matter of fact, the whole
Pacific area is coming more and
more into prominence as a tour
ist objective. World War II
whetted a broad appetite for it,
and exotic spots that only we'll
heeled Americans could visit be-
fore the war became familiar
names and sights for that cross
section of America represented
by GIs. They have spread it's
fame.
Time Shortened
In prewar times, millionaires
caught up with the novel and
fascinating South Seas on world
tours or on expensive cruises
that highlighted, among other
places, Bali. Regular line RS
served the Orient, the Philip
pines and Hawaii; occasional
ships sailed to ports that had a
compelling aura of remoteness.
Eut the combined expenditure
of time and money generally
ruled out all but upper-bracket
tourists.
Three postwar factors have
served to break down the barriers
against Pacific trips. even among
those who live east of the Rock
les. They are: The spread of
paid vacations among workers,
faster ships and a network of
airline routes. The Pacific has
been brought we'll within the
scope of the two and three week
vacation.

Dear Friends:
Don't think it AMT exciting be-
ing home because it is. 1t always is.
Last Monday afternoon, a week
ago today, / was invited out TO
play bridge. The following day we
were scheduled to fly home in the
sac Aero Club Piper PAGER Re
turning home at fYe o'clock, Hayes
told me that he had good news for
me. The weather was bad and it
looked like we would have to drive
to Delaware. j felt as happy as a
child at Christmas, a teenager re-
ceiving his drivers license, a foot
ball fan with bowl tickets, a young
deb who had caught her man
] felt like tons Of worry had been
for naught. Flying 1900 miles in a
small plane in December brought
no anticipation Of JOY to me and
the thought Of going home with my
feet on the ground made every
corner of the world seem very rosy.
During Monday friend Of ours
down the street had mission TO
New Castle Air Base and graci-
ously loaded our trunk and our
biggest suitcase into his plane to
be dumped at Base Operations up
state. We would pick it up when
we got home. Sixty pounds Of bag
gage shipped by railway amounted
to about eleven dollars and Cap
tain McDaniers kindness saved US
Just that much.
We left Topeka Monday evening
at midnight, putting the children
in the back Of our station wagon
on a mattress that another neigh.
Dor had loaned to us. Those in the
service who don't get to go home
are disappointed, but always g
out of their way to help those gei
on their way who were fOrtunat,
enough to get Christmas leaves.
we left in the middle of thu
night, because with the children
asleep we make better time and
too, there is very little traffic OF
the road during the wee hours o
the morning. We arrived at Han
nibal, Missouri. at sunrise and
was sorry we couldn't have gOttel

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. II (F) n
Brakes on Bob Siders' car failed

The car then ran into a utility pole,
which detected its course back to-
ward him. Before he could get to
his feet, it rolled over his left leg
and arm.
Siders jumped up, chased the
slOWly-rOlling vehicle 80 feet down
the hill, climbed in and stopped 1t
with the aid Of the hand brake.
