Traveling Americans Like To Bed Down in Comfort

United Press International
New York-fl!PI-About 52
million Americans are expect
ed to pile into the family car
and hit the nation's roads this
summer for long-awaited va
cation trips.
Based on past surveys,
most of the trips will be of
relatively short distance but
will involve at least a one
night stopover along the way.
manufacturer.
Some motorists will drive
SO miles or more out of the
way to get to a hotel or motel
they know or have been told
has comfortable beds.
Others bring along their
own electric blankets, non
allergenic pillows and bed
boards.
Some even bring mattress
es from- home. A Milwaukee
motel owner tells of one
guest who asked for a re
duced rate because he was
providing his own bedding.
Fortunately, the motorists'
chances of sleeping well on
are increasing all the time as
more motels and hotels up
grade their bedding to meet
competition, says Spring Air.
Another bit of good news
for the overland traveler is
the increase in the number
of extra-long and extra-wide
beds available.
''You may have to pay ex
tra for an extra-size bed but
many travelers figure the ad
ded expense is worth while,"
says Ronald J. Shepherd,
Spring Air's executive vice
president.
If you're in the vicinity of
room, sure enough, the mat
tress was gone.
Most guests spend only a
night at a hotel or motel so
they figude that praising or
complaining won't do them
much good. So hotel and
motel owners have to rate
their sleeping accommoda
tions by other means.
For example, a hotel in
New York state noted that
traveling salesmen were in
sisting on certain rooms and
would accept no other. The
manager checked and found
these rooms had been equip
remainder of the hotel was
supplied with new mattresses
too.
The traveler who wants to
make sure of a good night's
rest before accepting the room
should ask for the privilege
of testing the bed by lying
on it, says Shepherd. Most
people are embarrassed to do
this but shouldn't be.
Another method is to ask
if many guests request bed
boards. If the ansyer is "yes,"
be wary because a good mat
tress doesn't require a bed
board. sleep in round beds which
several motels in the area
are installing to emphasize
bedding distinctiveness.
"More could be done to
improve sleeping conditions
for the traveler if guests
praised good bedding when
they found it or complained
to the management about bad
bedding," Shepherd says.
One guest at a Louisiana
motel made his point when
he told the clerk he liked the
mattress so much he was tak
ing it with him. The clerk
laughed. But when the maids

ZIP TO COLD CUTS - Relish molds add zip to cold cuts.
Pickle fanciers will enjoy sliced ham or cold cuts with
molded pickle relish mousse. A savory molded chutney
makes a flavorsome topping for fruit or vegetable salads.
, Thanks to popular unflavored gelatine, both recipes are easy
to make and look spectacular.

Ready-to-Eat Meats
For Modern Meals
In the good old summer
time, cold cuts and delicates
sen specialties make many a
fine meal in the modern do-it-yourself
manner. Ready-to-eat
meats and canned ready-to-
. eat specialties galore invite
; your attention.
; Buy enough to make an at-
- tractive service of three or
; more kinds. Allow two to
three ounces per serving. Left
overs are easily used up in
sandwiches, salads and com-
. bination dishes.
Plan on a variety of tex
tures (coarse chopped, fine
"grind); colors (red, pink,
- brown with perhaps pimiento,
pickle or cheese added);
s 'shapes (round, square, irreg-
ular); flavors (ham, beef,
-liver, combination meats, and
smoked, spicy, garlic, etc.)
How lo Store. Be sure
ready-to-eat meat slices are
flat before storage. Keep cel
lophane or other transparent
wrapped packages in wrap
per. Wrap freshly sliced meat
in waxed paper, transparent
wrap or foil. Use within two
to three days. Unsliced dry
and semi-dry sausage, some
times called "summer saus-
age,"- will keep two weeks or
longer if kept in the refrig
erator. To enjoy the fine qual
ity of all cooked meats, use
them while they are fresh.
Cold Meat Trays
Ready -to-eat meats may be
; used with or without home
