Show Page Ten FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1962 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Fish-Gam- e Board Lists Flying Time Fishery, game and law enforce-ment activities accounted for a major share of the 885 hours of flying time which were logged by the three Utah Department of Fish and Game planes during 1961. The planes serve all phases of the department's management program throughout the State. They are based at Price, Salt Lake City and Tremonton. A total of 313 hours was flown in making the annual game man-agement surveys of both big game and waterfowl. Included in this phase of the work were several hours of flying time used in "herding" antelope into net enclosures where they were tag-ged and then transported to spe-cific study areas. The stocking of small trout into the high country lakes re-quired 230 hours of flying during the past year. An even 100 hours were log-ged in law enforcement activi-ties using air to ground vehicle radio contact during periods of heavy outdoor activity and in problem areas. Many hours were flown in co-operation with other agencies for search and forest patrol ac-tivities. The department noted use of the planes over the past several years has upgraded the manage-mn- t program and amounted to a considerable saving of the fish and game dollar. You Can Have Fun Traveling Alone, Travel Expert-- Says At least 25 per cent, or more, of the passengers on a major cruise are traveling alone. Often this is an advantage, the experts point out, because a man or woman alone is able to move from group to group and circu-late freely. Ann Dickson, senior social di-rectress, American Export Lines, speaking from eight years' ex-perience on the Independence, says, "There is no reason why a person traveling alone cannot have a completely enjoyable trip." She suggests, "After you have met a few people, give a little cocktail party at the be-ginning of the trip and include a few people you have not met but would like to meet. This can make your cruise a success. Don't attach yourself to one couple or to any one small group too soon in the trip. Don't hide away all day, emerge only at night and expect to have a good time. Don't be shy about introducing your-self at ship's parties that is why parties are given." "If you are alone, ask to be seated at a table with at least four or five other persons," ad-vises Eleanor Britton, Director of Cruise Staffs and Entertain-ment, Moore-McCorma- ck Lines. "Read the daily program so you'll know what is going on and can participate in some of the activi-ties." Mr. Nicholas Strange, cruise director of Canadian Pacific's new Empress of Canada, which sailed Feb. 9 on a Mediterranean cruise, suggests an unattached man or woman seated at a large table in the dining room make a point of ordering wine for the table as couples do. He believes single passengers should carry their own weight in gestures such as this. Now, what about those shore trips? On a world cruise or South Seas voyage there are some 45 days ashore and 50 at sea. On Mediterranean and North Cape cruises more days are spent ashore than at sea because of the proximity of the ports. A new trend is that passengers choose a cruise because of the places they will see rather than the ship. Pre-tri- p reading is a must sightseeing in foreign lands will mean more then. Bill Harris cruise lecturer, world traveler and American Express' special cruise consultant says, "Have a feeling of 'enthusiasm for thp tours ashore, be diplomatic and. above all, keep your sense of humor. Take new experiences and sights in stride not in a life or death manner." Here are some tips from tours ashore experts on preparing for an overland trio. Early to bed the night before. Don't start a long trip in a hot climate with p haneover. Be on time; don't hold up the group. There is nothing more irritating than 28 persons sitting in a coach waiting for one or two laggards. Tom Cecil, American Express manager tours ashore on the Rot-terdam World Cruise and the Caronia North Cape (June 28) reminds travel fans that they take shore excursions and over-land trips to see the cultura1 and historical attractions of dif-ferent countries, not to mak" comparisons with what they hav at home. How do the people live? What are the main sightseeing attractions in their countries'' Keep these things in mind, Mr Cecil suggests, and overlook any small inconveniences. Mrs. Helen Frailey, Swedish American Line's social directress now circling the globe for the eighth time on the Kungsholm round-the-wor- ld cruise cautions: "Don't spend all your time shop-ping. The cruise will mean so much more in retrospect if you have a genuine interest in the people of the countries you visit, their way of life, customs and culture. If you are truly friendly, they will respond and you will come home richer in human ex-perience." Never forget you're an unoffi-cial ambassador of your coun-try, so be kindly and considerate at all times. And when you final-ly reach the home gangplank, be strictly honest with Uncle Sam's Customs men. Remember that everything acquired outside the USA must be declared: that handbag bought abroad, pearls bought in Tokyo, the rubies bought in Ceylon, perfume from Paris, clothing made in Hong Kong everything. You'll retain a more shining memory of that perfect sea voyage if there's not a little matter of conscience plaguing all the time. Report Interest On Tax Return Interest you received or which was credited to your account dur-ing 1961 generally must be re-ported on your Federal income tax return, Roland V. Wise, Di-rector of Internal Revenue for the Salt Lake City, Utah District, said this week. Interest on state and municipal obligations is wholly exempt from tax, and interest on obliga-tions of the Federal Government issued before March 1, 1941 is either wholly or partially exempt from tax. All other interest is taxable, he explained. Some of the more common in-terest which is taxable includes interest on savings, when credit-ed to your account even though it is not recorded in your pass book, interest on bonds, loans, mortgages, on refunds of Federal taxes, on U.S. Savings Bonds, and interest on GI insurance dividends left on deposit with Veterans Administration. Also included as interest in-come are certain so-call- ed divi-dends on deposits or on with-drawable or share accounts of domestic Building and Loan As-sociations, domestic Savings and Loan Associations, Credit Unions, Mutual Savings Banks and Co-operative Banks. Taxpayers who have any ques-tions about interest income may get Document No. 5060, "Invest-ment Income" by calling DAvis X465, or come to Room 365, Federal Building, Salt Lake City, Mr. Wise said. Eight Out of Ten Westerners Save Stamps, Survey Shows Eight out of 10 (81 per cent) of Western families now save trading stamps. This was deter-mined by Benson and Benson, Incorporated, an independent re-search firm of Princeton, New Jersey. The study which was made for The Sperry and Hutchinson Com-pany, oldest and largest stamp firm, showed that 6,500,000 of the 8,070,000 Western families save trading stamps. This was higher than the national aver-age of 76 per cent. John G. Bein-er- t, S & H Assistant Vice-Preside- nt for the Western Region, announced the study results. "The facts show that saving trading stamps has become a typi-cal American activity more so than many other customs con-sidered national pastimes," Bein-er- t pointed out. The study shows: (1) Stamps are saved by the vast majority in all regions of the country east, west, north and south. (2) Women are more inclined than men to save stamps but not by much (78 per cent versus 74 per cent). (3) Large families are more inclined to save stamps than small families. Where there are just one or two in a family, ap-proximately 66 per cent save stamps. However, with families numbering three or more per-sons, over 80 per cent save stamps. (4) Higher income families are more inclined to save stamps than those with lower incomes. Among households with incomes of $5,000 or below, 7 out of 10 save stamps. But among house-holds with incomes of $5,000 or above, 8 out of 10 save stamps. (5) Better educated people are more inclined to save stamps than those with little education. About 7 out of 10 of those with some grammar school education save stamps. About 8 out of 10 of those with some high school or higher education save stamps. (6) The younger the families, the more inclined they are to-ward saving. 84 per cent-o- f the 21 to 34 age group save stamps. 78 per cent of the 35 to 49 age group save stamps. 68 per cent of the 50 and above age group save stamps. Versatile Oyster Keeping Busy Culturing Pearls The versatile oyster is most obliging it will produce cul-tured pearls to suit the varying color preferences of the fair ladies of dozens of different countries. It is impossible to predict be-forehand where in the wide spec-trum of colors and shadings the pearl from one particular oyster will fall, the Cultured Pearl As-sociation of America and Japan explained. The possibilities range from silver-blu-e to creamy white to blue-gree- n to light rose. Many of the shades are seldom seen in America simply because they are not greatly prized. In other countries, the light-to-pin- k range, which is most in demand in the United States, attracts lit-tle interest. Among the many, crazy mixed-u- p colors available, the senoras and senoritas of Spain, Portugal and Latin America favor the yellow- -to-gold shades the darker the better. Further around the world, the maharani of India also prefers creamy golden pearls. The French like cream-ros- e creamy pearls with a pinkish cast. But their Belgian cousins favor a more iridescent rainbow effect. Italians want a high pink-ish luster. A taste for white, light rose and silvery tones, like silver-blu- e, is evident in Scandinavian countries. While the Japanese, who produce these fine cultured pearls for the world, tend to keep the silver-gree- n and blue-gra- y for themselves. The pearl cultivators of Japan produce more than $100-millio- n worth (retail value) of cultured pearls each year. Although they cannot determine beforehand the colors of their pearls, they can predict the popularity of specific colors, according to the Associ-ation. Color preferences are not com-pletely exclusive, the Association notes, particularly in countries like the United States where there are people of many national origins. Despite a general Amer-ican taste for the light-to-pin- k hues, the fair-skinn- ed blondes of Scandinavian background in the Midwest are more partial to pearls of light rose shades. And, just as the darker golden pearl tones are appealing to those in the warmer climes of Italy and Spain, so they are preferred by Americans of those origins. If It's Printing ...
