Davis even has a sound system
which sends off authentic train
sounds from a smail speaker in-
stalled in the locomotive.

A miniature railroader needs
good eyesight, agile hands, artistic
talent and imagination and pa-

bought his son a train set. He

MODEL RAILROADER Ken Davis works on his model toromotive
which is part of an elaborate railroad system built by Davis in his

Model railroading
is for big kids, too

ting it together and taking it apart
every time the set was used, so
Davis decided to make it perma-
nent.

‘*Then I could see the
possibilities. From then I got the
bug, so to speak.”’

And now that the project is
complete, Davis wants to sell the
house to another model railroad
enthusiast.

“I’m hoping that when we sell,
a model railroader would buy the
home and that’d solve the prob-
lem,"’ says Davis.

Know gas pump
etiquette

From page 42
day spirit that you deseribe.

The Scrooges in this situation
are supervisors and bosses who
have done Mr. Dickens one better.

DEAR MISS MANNERS —
With the recent rise in gas prices,
a lot of people who were
previously not pumping their own
are now doing so, and they don’t
know the efiquette ‘of pumping
their own gas.

1. Don't go to the cashier to
pay before your car is stopped
beside the pump you wish to use.

2. Don't buy a bunch of other
items until you have gone through
the gas line and parked your vehi-
cle in a space away from the
pumps.

3. Do not try to cut in or jump
the line.

GENTLE READER — Miss
Manners, who has been secretly
cherishing the hope that she will
be allowed to complete her
blameless life without having to
learn how to pump her own gas
(but who would not dream of
allowing any young lady under her
jurisdiction to harbor any such il-
lusions), is grateful for your help.

DEAR MISS MANNERS — Do
customers have the right to
deprive a waitress of a tip if they
catch her cheating on the bill?

GENTLE READER — Miss
Manners understands that you
have worked yourself up into
believing that you have a class-
action case, which you are going
to settle by, in effect, docking of-
fenders’ wages.

But she begs you to calm down
and remember first that people
must be given the benefit of the
doubt.

Waitresses do not cheat on bills;
they make mistakes. When this is

drawn to their attention, they
apologize and correct their
mistakes.
