: Key Words for Europ

THERE ARE only two really
important words when you
take your trip to Europe.
One is “‘toilet’’ and the other
is “‘money."’ Each is a cons-
tant source of anxiety, fasci-
nation and frustration.

In general, the ladies wor-
tied about the toilets, and the
men about the money.

AS our vivacious guide,
Annette, informed us, you
don't ask on the continent
where the bathroom is, or
you're apt to get a response
something like, '‘Watsa mat-
ta you lady? You wanna taka
bath in a restaurant?"’ No,
you bluntly blurt “Toilet?”
It's the same in every
language, so you can’t go
astray.

There was only one thing
wrong with our bus. It had
comfortable seats, air-
conditioning, a superb
driver, But no “bathroom”
at the rear. So you sailed off -

at 7 am.,‘full of morning’ ‘

coffee, and shaky in the
knowledge that you might be
on that bus for two or three
hours before a halt and the
magic word TOILETS leaped
into view. .

It wasn’t bad for the men,
but there was always a line-
up for the ladies’, the door
often guarded by a fierce old
harridan who demanded 100
lira or a franc piece before
they were even admitted to
the inner sanctum. From
what I heard and saw, the
facilitics ranged from spank-
ing clean with hot water and
lots of towels, down through’
pretty swazy, with tissue the
texture of wall-paper, to the
very pits, which were just
that, holes in the ground,

miles, only. two emergency °

stops were made. One was
for Larry, 8, who had drunk
three cans of pop at the last
stop, and had the distinction
of having a tinkle right be-
side the auto-route in France.
The second was when
Graham, a young Austral-
ian, (pronounced Grime in
that language) was hit by a
sudden attack of bad tummy

STARS THIS WEEK /

One Only

YOUR

coming week may

test any individual's tal- |

ents many times over.
Those who seek a measur-
able success at this time
would do well to concen-
trate on the present, on the
precise movements re-
quired by immediate cir-
cumstances rather than on
plans for the future. Every
consideration must be
given-to the young and
inexperienced; otherwise,
they may be left too far
behind ever to recover to

_ the point of being usefully,

productively occupied.

Positive personalities
know considerable prog-
ress by midweek. Pessim-
ists, on the other hand,
may defeat themselves be-
fore the week is well under-
way. Those acting from
their own intuition and vo-
lition will take steps in the
right direction; those de-
pending upon. orders from
others may have to settle
for second best or, at most,
rest on their laurels.

It was a bad year to visit

/Consumer Facts /

The “if it's Tuesday, this
must be bologna” syndrome
attacks many a brown bagger
from time to time.

Fresh fruits and vege-
tables are as versatile as your
imagination, adding zip to
brown bag dining. Pick up a
papaya or kiwi fruit for a
different taste sensation.

Take along cucumber
spears, green and red pepper
sticks or rings, cauliflowerets,
broccoli buds, cherry tomatoes,
turnip sticks or squash rings.
Carry assorted vegetables ina
tightly sealed plastic bag along
with a small container of dress-
ing or guacamole (avodado dip}.

Vary the taste and texture
of packed salads by adding
different ingredients, like al-
falfa sprouts, bean sprouts, or
nuts. :

For a gourmet touch, roll
lettuce leaves around meat,
egg, fish or cheese filling. Use
fresh fruits and vegetables as
natural stuffers. For instance,
core an apple and stuff with
peanut butter or cottage cheese
mixed with nuts, grapes or
other sliced fresh fruit. Add
tuna fish or a seafood salad into
@ green pepper cavity.

Beat the brown baggers'
blues. Add some fresh fruits
and vegetables for variety and
interest in the brown bag.
