Getting Across
Venice Street4
Quite A Job
VENICE (INS) So you've A
ways wanted to ride on the Ven
ice canals? Here's the lowdown:
In Venice you take a "steam

need public transportation. If
you are in the taxl-ciass- tnen
you alio into a condole.
Hurried young executives take
motorboats. But Mr. Giovanni Q.
Citizen when he is going to work
or shoDDing grabs one of the
fast ferryboats that glide through
, the canals. -
Around rush hours in the
morning and evening, the ferries
look lust like a subway or a bus
in any other dty in the world
crowded.
If you want to trots the
"street" and there is no bridge
handy you grab a gondola. Not
the tourist type with fancy deco
rations but a plain work-a-day
gonuoia There you have to sunn
up no matter h6w rocky the
trip is.
The gondoliers who take you
across the "street" may lack the
gay shirts and colorful straw hats
of their fancier colleagues but
their language la just as colorful
especially when a motor boat
tomes too dee.
Housewife Has
Time to Travel
WASHINGTON (INS)
Woman's work may never be
done, but she still has a lot
of time to travel. Almost
half the passports issued are
to women, and housewives
make up the largest single
classification.
By occupation, the major
categories of overseas tour

While dad's busy driving, keep
the youngsters out of his hair
with easy-to-play car games. This
works wonders on a long vaca
tion drive. The trip will "go fast
er for all of you. Children get
restless, penned up in a car for
hours on end. They can dissi
pate their pent-up energy playing
games. Try these:
1. License Plates: Players take
turns naming the state of origin
of the cars approaching your car
from the opposite direction. The
one who first identifies 25 differ
ent state plates wins.
2. Graveyards: Decide on some
object to count horses, pigs,
cws, etc. Allot to one player or.
team one side of the road; allot
the other side to the other player
or team. If, for instance, cows
are the subject under investiga
tion, each player calls out the
number of cows he sees on his
side of the road. When a grave
yard is passed, all the cows count
ed on that side are killed, and
that player has to start all over
again. The count continues to a
specific destination.
3. Car Guessing: This has been
a great favorite with kids for
years. There are many variations
of it: guessing the make of the
next approaching car, guessing its
color, guessing its body type,
guessing whether the next car
will have white-walled tires, etc
4. What's ahead? This game
has infinite variations, and will
provide the youngsters with plen
ty of excitement The idea is to
guess in advance the color of the
house around the next curve, how
far it is to the next side road, the
number of windows on the front
side of the next house, etc. In
this game, mom should act as
scorekeeper and arbitrator, and
each of the kids should make up
the next guess in turn.
I. Song games. There are a
number of games that can be
played with popular tunes to keep
youngsters self-entertained. One
is to have one kid hum a tune,
and the others guess its name.
Each child takes his turn at being
the "orchestra." Another enter
taining game is just the reverse
of this. Each child takes his turn
at being the "orchestra." Anoth
er entertaining game is just the
reverse of this. Each takes his
turn at naming a son ; whoever
hums it correctly first wins and j
u scoreu a point.
