Travel etiquette
°11:41 in a sound word of advice from a lady who should know.
p°Remenaber," etiquette authority Emily Post advised recently in a
ii *i relear ed by the American Express Company, "when you're
hroad, yen are the foreigner."
All the petty, but important �
details of , traveling --itineraries,
tours, r'ettervaations and trans-
portation --man be taben care of
by a trtIvel agency such as
American Express, Mrs. Post
pointed out, but a friendly, un-
derstanding attitude is something
titfit only the tourist can bring
to has travels.
Generally, she noted, "you will
find that Europeans tend to be
more formal than we Americans
are." She suggested that Ameri-
cans adopt a leaf from the same
book.
For instance, Europeans shake
hands on meeting a group of
people and again upon leaving.
Europeans don't use first names
as quickly as Americans do ---nor
are they apt to indulge in a
hearty slap on the back early in
an acquaintanceship.
pon't expect other people to
know English, Mrs. Post warned,
although many Europeans are
more likely to know another
language thap Americans are.
However, the solution to the
language barrier is not to repeat
English words very loudly. Am
plification and translation are
not synonymous.
A better bridge to understand-
ing is to learn a few essentials
of politeness in the language of
the land you are visiting. The
fact that you are making a+
valiant effort to speak another
tongue will he greatly appre-
ciated by all people and they will
be more eager to offer their
assistance.
When it comes to tipping, Mrs.

is the most important
insurance for n happy
Emily Poat
Post reports that many European
hotels and restaurants add a per-
centage to the check for service.
But it is customary to tip addi-
tionally five to ten percent- If
the service charge has not been
added, at should be fifteen per-
cent.
When traveling by air, tipping
is forbidden, but steamship tra-
velers should count on about five
to eight percent of their fare
to be apportioned among cabin,
dining room, bath and deck
stewards.
Last but not least, the tourist
should remember that every-
where he goes he creates an im-
pression. If he makes an honest
effort to understand the country
he is visiting, his friendliness and
courtesy will add up to a very
considerable fund of good will
for America.

G3Un-cil Decision Remains Unchanged
Re Ownership Of The Odd Collegiate
Once again, ToWn Cennei1 ha6
refused to treader ownership of
the old eollegiete building to Gc ,e -
rich Public School Boartl. .Meet-
ing Friday night, Council approved
a reeonamend'ation that there be no
change in its previous decision to
retain title to the school.
On several occasions the board
bac asked that title to the building
be transferred. Trustees claim
that the present set-up, whereby
the town owns the school and the
board operates it, is inefficient and
undesirable, particularly as regards
insurance matters.
Further, the trustees have main-
tained, the Ontario Department of
Education does not approve of the
board spending money to repair
or improve a building which it does
not own.
There was no discussion Friday
night as Council approved the re-
commendation to ooa tanue under
the present set-up.
Council received an application
from Upper Lakes and St. Lawr-
ence Transportation Go. Ltd. for
permission to construct eight con-
crete bins at an estimated cost of
$100,000: The application was re-
ferred to the fire committee with
power to act. The project was
announced in the Signal -Star ,sev-
eral weeks ago.
The bins will be erected over a
50 -ton platform, which will be 50
feet long. It is designed to handle
trudlt U k1aag 'grain from the elev-
ator to other parts of Western, exl-
tario. The, ,gg��,Pojeet is in charge of
Carter Conetruetion.
The only other ,permit before
Council was one from Peter Mac -
Ewan for construction of a garage
at a cost of about ,$300.
Title of- a parcel Of land across
from Goderich District Collegiate
Institute has been returned to the
town by the Department of Nation-
al Defence. The town granted the
land to the federal powers as a
possible site for an armory about
five years ago.
Since the department has made
no use of the site, Town Council
requested return of the land. There
was no discussion Friday night
as
lo what the town intends tel do
with the property.
R. Reinhart, advertising manager
of the forthcoming GDCI year
book, asked 'Council to consider
placing an advertisement for the
town in the publication. The re-
quest was referred to finance com-
mittee for a report, Comment-

The public works committee was
assigned to meet with officers of
