In many countries, a bank or exchange service away from the airport will offer the best rates. travel-tip- s brochure The includes another helpful bit of information that Americans often don't think about unless they travel to certain developing nations: More than 70 countries around the world impose restrictions on their currency, limiting how much you can take out. You can learn if there are restrictions before you go by reading travel literature or calling a country's embassy in Washington. You also may find the travel- - tips brochure useful for other reasons, including its listings of certain telephone numbers that may be difficult to obtain abroad. Among the listings are numbers for U.S. embassies in the five countries that U.S. residents visited the most in 1995: Mexico, Canada, Britain, France and Germany. Those numbers could be invaluable if you lose your passport while traveling. Also listed are numbers of embassies and tourist offices in this country for the same five nations.

Some carry traveler's checks, some use credit cards, others like .'the ease of getting foreign currency using a bank ATM or credit -- card. Currency dealers suggest that you use all of these services plus get some foreign cash from them before you leave home. Thomas Cook, one of the e world's largest services, in its "Tips for Travel-..ers- " brochure, notes that each method of paying costs abroad has advantages. Traveler's checks offer safety, since they can be replaced if lost ' or stoien. The Cook brochure doesn't mention that not all mer- -' chants at home or abroad accept traveler's checks, or that if they do " accept them, they may not give you a good exchange rate. Sometimes the only way to cash traveler's checks is to use a bank during business hours. . Cook's brochure says credit :;cards are as widely accepted in ;,many countries as they are in and are especially , North ,merica good for larger expenditures. The number of automated- l teller machines that dispense cash ' if you have a credit card, or your bank is part of the Plus or Cirrus - networks, is growing around the . world. Often, the exchange rale tlyou get while using an ATM or :;X'redit card for cash, or a credit .card for purchases, is the interbank rate, which is usually a little better than what you'll get at a foreign-currenc- y exchange service. both Carrying some cash '; U.S. dollars and local currency ;also has its advantages. U.6. dollars are quite popular in some countries, plus you'll need some "in your pocKet 10 get uciwccu ' home and the airport before and " after your trip.

As guest speakers honored these teachers, I was touched by stories of how they had inspired other lives. At every table, conversations were filled with stories of teachers who changed students lives. In celebration of Partners in Education Week, the Chamber teamed with Utah Valley's school districts to pay tribute to businesses that have formed partnerships with schools. Their hope is to help in the educational process of School-to-Wor- k Programs. The program is designed to prepare our young people for a career that they will enjoy. I firmly believe that our nation's future economic development depends on our ability to educate our young people. With our unemployment rate at its lowest level in 40 years, it is critical that employees come to the work force prepared to contribute. billions Businesses spend nationally to retrain new employees that must be before they are prepared to be productive. The results of dropouts and uninspired graduates lead to massive welfare and crime problems. It has been well stated that "it takes more money to send someone to the state pen than Penn State." How wonderful it was to listen to stories about teachers from all walks of life who stepped into our lives and those of our children and changed us forever. While these teachers were being hoi Ted, I couldn't help but reflect on the teachers who influenced my life in a positive way. My first grade teacher, Mrs. Lee taught us love and unselfishness as she told us she loved the first grade because it was like receiving a totally clean noteshe book. Christmas week, a brought large beautifully wrapped box with a present for each student. We each received a book with a handwritten note telling us what she loved about having us in her class. Most of the class was extremely poor and she was no exception. Steve Densley Chamber Report Fifty years later I can still sense the joy I got by reading that gift. I still have the book and feel it would be difficult to replace the love that book symbolizes. Mrs. Guyman helped us build our by making everyone feel important. Mrs. Lyman taught us discipline as she never allowed us to use an erase;-- , teaching us to think deeply before we answered a question. Mrs. Mark taught us a respect and appreciation for literature. Professor Duke's way of teaching social studies was so fascinating that I found myself running to class to hear his lesson. My excitement for learning still remains. Coach McCleary taught us discipline, trust, and desire as he pushed u.s beyond our limitations. He told us that if we were willing to pay the self-estee- self-impos- e price, there was nothing th.r couldn't achieve. In his rookie;; year of coaching, he promised us that if we would pay the price, never give up, and do exactly-whahe asked us to, we would win the Utah State High School Basketball Championship, even of though we'd lost our student body to a new school Because of his inspiring lead-- " ership, we walked off the Uni-.- , versify of Utah basketball floor carrying the championship tro phy with our coach on our shoulders. Over the years I have found that teachers like these make the difference, not the two-thir- curriculum. At the two dinners I attended,-tributwas paid to exceptional people. It was a joy to listen to e men and women of superior cal iber and contribution speak of others who most influenced them. I wonder if these people know-homuch they have influenced others by their wisdom and teach-- , ing skills. Each year, I write to those; who have had a positive and pro- -' found impact on my life. I waS intrigued by the following sign' 1 saw recently. It read, "If you were going to die soon and had only, one phone call you could make, who would you call and whist and why afe would you say ; :;: you waiting?"
