head of an English family com
pleting a one-month tour
through 23 states under the
"Visit-USA" program sums up
the family reaction in these
words:
,"Your country is bigger than
we thought, busier than we
thought, and friendlier than we
thought."
Anthony Fredericks, 50, of
Chelsea, a London suburb,
whs sneaking. Fredericks, -ho
sdrved for 30 years in the Brit
ish ' -my, now is chief pharma
cist of the Royal Hospital in
Chelsea and the family lives in
a' 300 year old house designed
by Christopher Wren, the noted
architect.
Jrhere are seven children (an
eighth on the way, ranging in
age from 22 to 2. Fredericks,
two of the children, and his blue
eyed, brown haired wife, Mor
ny, 41, have completed a 5,000
rrtile see -America automobile
trip to demonstrate that for
eigners can visit the United
States on a moderate budget.
All Expenses Paid
Mil their expenses were paid
and they got a lot of VIP
treatment, but Fredericks fig
ured a family of four easily
could vacation as they did for
about $200 per person per week.
TJus, he explained, was averag
ing out cost of transatlantic
trip (they came cabin class on
a boat), plus food, lodging, fuel
and incidentals once in the
country.
'"That's comparable to a va
cation on the (European) conti
nent," he said. . ,
Their trip took them as far
north as New Hampshire, Ver-

Daugh ter Antoinette,
an 18-year-old brunette beauty
who for two years has done
fashion modeling, was asked in
several cities to show the Eng
lish version of the twist "same
as in America," she said.
Jeoffrejr, 10, said the high
spot of the trip to him was to
go aboard the ships "Susan
Constant," "Godspeed" and
"Discovery," the first ships to
sail from England to settle the
Jamestown, Va., colony.
"As for food, we found the
hamburger eternal," Mrs. Fred
ericks spoke up. "But one
doesn't have to eat it always,
does one? I was impressed by
the variety of your- foods. You
can do chicken tons of ways."
"If you asked me what is
typically American," she added,
"I'd say apple pie a la mode,
cherry pie a la mode, pecan pie
a la mode. . ."
The Tea Problem
The British family, which
likes its tea stronger than
Americans usually make it,
found an easy solution to the
restaurant tea bag. "We just
punched holes in the bags and
let the contents into the cup,"
she explained.
The Fredericks were chosen
for the trip by happenstance.
The London representative of
one of their sponsors had a son
who'd played soccer with Jeof
frey. "One morning this voice on
the phone said, 'Would you like
to visit America?" said Fred
ericks. "I thought she was jok
ing at first."
The U. S. Department of
Commerce helped with arrange
ments and the tab for the trip
was picked up by Econo-Car
Rental System (Fredericks
drove one of its station wag
ons), Cunard Lines, Holiday
inns, the motel chain, and bher
aton Hotels.

'Bridge to Retirement'
Travel Speaker's Topic
Travel as a "bridge to retire
ment" was promoted by Mrs.
Heddy Kraemcr, author of the
book "More Time Than Money"
when she spoke at a meeting
Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Kraemer reviewed a 20
months trip she and her hus
band, John, took, traveling
mainly by freighter. She spoke
to members of the Medford
Branch, American Association
of University Women and their
guests.
Mr. Kraemer is a retired
geologist for an oil company
in South America. Since the
couple traveled extensively in
Europe and had lived in both
North and South America, they
intended to concentrate on Asia,
Africa and Australia in this trip,
Freighter travel is less ex
pensive, Mrs. Kraemer stressed,
noting this is a prime considera
tion for retired persons who usu
ally find they have more time
than money. Life on a freighter
is at a slower pace than on pas
senger liners and the ships stop
in many interesting out-of-the-way
places where the traveler
learns more about the country
and its people than in tourist
centers.
Freighter Defined
The speaker described a
freighter as any vessel that car
ries cargo, with passengers only
incidental. Due to this the fare
barely covers the cost of food
plus the additional crew needed.
The cabins are usually built on
freighters for family and friends
of the ship owner. She stressed
that on freighters passengers
rate second to the cargo.
The traveler noted that bj
maritime law a ship is required
to carry a doctor if the total
number of persons aboard ex
ceeds 100. Due to this, many
freighters without medical staffs
will not accept passengers more
than 70 years of age, others
will if the passenger has a cer
tificate of good health. A few
lines have no restrictions on
age, she noted. Infants or small
children are generally not al
lowed since the decks do not
have the protective rails found
on passenger liners.
Cheapest of the freighters is
ihe "tramp," which has no
schedule, receiving cabled or
ders from Its owner as to where
to go next. Since their routes
are completely unpredictable,
British tramp freighters charge
25 shillings per person per day
or about $3.50 at present ex
change rates. But, Mrs. Krae
mer noted, the ships are old
and many will accept only male
passengers.
When the Kraemers left New
York City August 20, 1960, they
had reservations on only one
cargo vessel bound for Africa
out of London. Since this ship
did not sail due to a ergo
checkers' strike, the couple had
to look elsewhere.
Many Empty Bertiis
Mrs. Kraemcr said that ex
cept during tourist season from
the larger West Coast and New
York ports, most freighters sail
with empty berths.
The speaker noted that freight
ers are boarded via ladder, real
ly an open stairway with wob
bly ropes for handrails. Since
there are no risers between
steps the water is visible far
below.
Since the couple had no sched
ule upon arrival in a new area
they would get a hotel room,
look around and if after a few
days liked the area and wanted
to see more, would hunt a fur
nished apartment which could
be rented by the week or month.
If the new surroundings were
not particularly appealing, they
checked newspapers for ship
ping news, checking available
freighters, then by telephone
would locate one at a price they
were willing to pay.
Like Australia
' The speaker's preference in
ships were those under Scan
dinavian flags and their favorite
Australia. Japan was the
most expensive and South Africa
the least expensive.
They took their first sauna
bath aboard a Finnish freighter
and in southern India traveled
by train, ferry, automobile and
dugout canoe to visit a mission
hospital.
During the four months the
couple spent in Australia they
traveled extensively by rented
car, including the western state.
Mrs. Kraemer explamed mat
since they were racing enthusi
asts they attended horse races
in Thailand, India and Aus
tralia; attended plays in Loiv
don where tickets are consid
erably cheaper than New York;
played bridge with people of
21 other countries at; a tourna
ment, in Bangkok, in Manila,
Australia and aboard ship.
She objected to the "emotional
climate" in South Africa where
the "European Only" signs were
quite prevalent.
They returned to New York
City on April 26, 1962, after vis
iting Finland, Scandinavian
countries, England, Singapore,
Siam, Thailand, India, Australia,
New Guinea, Hong Kong, Japan,
Africa and Brazil.
The average cost for the cou
ple during their 20 months of
travel was under $12 per person
per day. This included passage,
all food, and private bath ex
cept in one instance. There are
no extra charges on freighters,
Mrs. Kraemer explained, which
included free drinks before and
after meals or with meals, de
pending on the line.
The speaker was introduced
by Mrs., Lloyd Bishop, AAUW
president. A question and an
swer period followed Mrs. Krae
mer's talk.
Mrs. Kraemer also spoke al
the Wednesday noon luncheon
of Medford Klwanis Club. Wives
of the club's members were
guests for the event held at the
Rogue Valley Country Club.
Night Headgear
s Disapproved
By Husbands
CHICAGO (UPI) A survey
of 200 married men of all age
groups and occupations showed
that 86 per cent approved of
their wife's hairdo. But 68 per
cent had a strong dislike for
far-out heargear at bedtime.
More than 73 per cent of the
husbands interviewed in the
Helene Curtis survey told re
searchers their wives never put
their hair up at night.
Husbands of all ages felt that
their wives selected a new hair
style to please them, and that
their own comments, sugges
tions and encouragement were
helpful.
Most of the men liked soft,
simple natural looking coif
fures. Only 17 per cent said
they honestly liked short hair
dos on women. Sixty-three per
cent cast their vote for a well
kept, medium length coif.
Men in the fairly conserva
tive occupations banking,
law, teaching, insurance
tended to favor more elaborate
hairstyles and livelier colors,
such as light blondes and red
heads. Most of the men Inter
viewed approved of hair color
ing such as rinses and tints.
I and said their wives discussed
a hair color change with them
before having it done.
Thirty-five per cent of the
. husbands revealed that they
i did not remember how their
wives wore their hair when they
first were married.
