Package Tour Is Easier NEW YORK (UPI) "Pack 4e" tours can help make your "dream trip" come true. Worked out by experienced tour operators, these Murs assume for the traveler the problem ol how to get from air or train ter minal to hotel. They- have a local representative at each stop to as sist with any problems and they carefully plan a sightseeing pro gram that will utilize' available time to the fullest. Another fea ture: You pay in advance. This eliminates doling out money along the way. - You can select a package tour to lit not only the time you have, the price you want to pay, the place you want to visit, but al most any hobby you want to pur sue. Another variation is possible in the choice ot traveling compan ions. Some prefer to travel in a group, accompanied by an . expe rienced guide to take care of de tails. Another type of escorted tour is one in which the group gets a guide for each city, but travels to the different cities on its own. Independent package tours also are available for those who pre fer to travel alone, or with ft lends or family. Treated Barley Shows Promise As Swine Feed Prospects that Oregon's bulging Station barley supplies may be converted into more suitable feed for swine are reported by the Oregon State College Agricultural Experiment DEFINITION HARTFORD. Conn. (UPI) Dr. C. F. Yeaher, medical director at Remington Arms, defines an alco holic this way: "When a person stops bragging about how much he can drink, and starts lying about how little he s drinking he s an alcoholic. Special treatment to break down hard-to-digest barley fiber looks promising as OSC scientists seek ways to parlay local feeds into, meat supplies for expanding West Coast markets. Oregon ships in about 70 per cent of its pork needs, and hog prices in Oregon are usually among the highest in the nation. Preliminary findings by OSC re- searchers indicate that a comhina jtion of malt-enzyme treatment and t dieting may overcome main short- Icomings of barley for hog feed. Barley soaked in water, then treated with small amounts of malt, boosted hog gains 1-10 pound daily over hogs fed straight ground bar ley, report J. E. Oldfield. OSC animal nutritionist, and L. M. Lar sen, research assistant. "Soaking," alone, gave no benefits as U had in earlier poultry nutrition trials. Malt provides additional enzymes in the hog's stomach to help digest fiber. Malting added only $1.50 a ton to feed costs in the OSC study where malt comprised 2.5 per cent of the total feed weight. Next step is to test a combina tion of malting and pelleting bar ley to learn if the steam treat ment in pelleting will replace soak ing for breaking down barley fiber. Soaking barley commercially would be costly, requiring large vats and drying equipment. Pelleting barley, even without the malt treatment, increased gains more than 1-10 pound daily. The combination treatment will also be watched closely by Oregon barley growers who last year har vested 20 million bushels com pared to a 10-year state average of 13 million bushels. Car Laundry Business Up WASHINGTON (UPP Way eack when, there was Henry Ford and his horseless carriage. Henry had to wash his car by hand. Then he had to wax it by hand. And, for a long time, so did everybody else. But then a bright-eyed "don't do it -yourself" type came along with the car laundry. Today, you can get even the most elongated, chromeplated, low-slung, tail finned car scrubbed clean in three minutes at a'lto laundries. There are 3.000 of them in the U.S. And now: automation has en tered the auto waxing field. The first, and so far the only quick-shine emporium in the piston-driven world is open for busi ness in Washington. D.C. Its name: "Minute Man Simonizers." i It takes four men. some auto matic buffers and 60 minutes to shine the auto if you own one ot the big luxury jobs. The medium and low-priced models are done in 43 to M minutes. Those small for eign buKUies come out glistening in about 40 minutes. Prices range accordingly, from $15 for the big ones to 4 for the sports models. The owner of the wax works a chunky, bustling man by the name of Mike Chidakel Isn t dis turbed by the so-called "perman ent" finishes on new cars. Since opening six months ago. he claims to be doing a big business with the '51 and '59 models.
