I watched the “Tony”
Awards a week or so ago and
was fascinated with some of
the current Broadway plays.
Now, isn’t if fortunate that
Id planned to take a
business trip to Winnipeg?
As the king said to the
chambermaid, “Since you’ve
gone half way, why not all
the way?”

Saying nifty little phrases
like that, I booked a return
flight to New York via
Winnipeg! If anyone has
some recommendations
about plays, tours,
restaurants and whatever
about New York, give them
to me quickly. Although I’ve
seen the New York skyline
from 35,000 feet, that’s the
closest P’'ve been. Short time
and short money make all
hints welcome.

DEAR BARBARA: Would
you please repeat the in-
formation you gave some
time ago about water
purification? We had relied
on tablets bat I believe you
advised that they lose their
strength when stored in a
warm place.

ANSWER: The information
I passed along came from
“Great Expeditions”’
magazine. They advised that
a simple tincture of iodine
solution is the safest (get
instructions from your
pharmacist on quantities)
and that the pills DO lose
their potency at warm
temperatures for as little as
24 hours. Since problem
water can occur at any
climate (even in the far

North) it’s wise to take along

.a bottle of ‘iodine, well

capped, and ‘some in-
structions for use. A plastic
jug packs easily, especially
when stuffed with clean
clothes. You can mark the
quantities on the side.

Although the _ iodine-
spiked water tastes yukky, it
is great for toothbrushing
and emergency thirst.

DEAR BARBARA: Please
give me some advice on
travelling alone. I read your
column a couple of years ago
when you devoted quite a bit
of space to the problems of
female travellers and I
clipped it. Do you have
anything more to say on the
subject? When I clipped the
column, I didn’t imagine that

should I avoid? Where

ANSWER: I can’t tell you
where to go. Let your own
interests be the key. Id
avoid one long tour group in
favor of two or three shorter
tours out of one central

location. This way, if the one
group seems a “bust” you
can -look forward to an
entirely different group in a
couple of days.

One thing I learned on a
recent trip by myself is that
your occupation can lead
you to a lot of interesting
people and _ experiences
while travelling. Instead of
just visiting a famous library,
introduce yourself to the
management. Since you are
a professional in the field,
you'll likely meet a lot of
other specialists that will
expand your knowledge
while kindly giving their time
to a foreign visitor.

If you have any other
interests, such as a church,
sport, duplicate bridge or
stamp collecting, get in

touch with the clubs or
organizations in the cities
you visit. If necessary, tell
them that you're thinking of
writing an article on the
subject: I learned that
everyone loves to talk about
their interests to a good
listener and a professional
inquiry is always taken
seriously.

Pay your own way! You

- may get a bit lonely, but you

can always read.

QUESTION: Where can I

QUESTION: I've booked a
‘European tour with another
woman for September. The
more I see of her, the less I
like! What would you do?

ANSWER: Anything but
spend a few weeks with her
in Europe! I'd cancel the
whole thing and plan to go
on my awn if one of my
family wasn’t available to go
with me. She may screech a
bit but better here than
there.

Be honest and tell her that

ANSWER: I have my doubts
that you can! Any atlas that
I've seen that 'd wish to own
is a pretty hefty volume. The

huge layouts of the interior

ports.

Remember, detailed maps
of cities and surrounding
areas are always available in
the places you visit. Tiny
atlases are impossible to
read without a magnifying
glass.

Even Steven has
moved to the
Washington Plaza.

And that makes Even Steven even sweeter.
Because what was a good deal at The Olympic
in Seattle is a great weekend deal at the
Washington Plaza.

Even Steven means we accept Canadian
money at par from registered Canadian guests on
anything you want to do in the hotel. And at the
Washington Plaza, that means even more than
before. Relax in a super room with a spectacular
view of the city. Enjoy the exotic cuisine of Trader
Vic's, the casual comfort of the Oak Room, or the
outside fun of the Café Plaza. You'll find Even
Steven even more convenient than before too. The
Washington Plaza is right downtown, near the
waterfront, shopping and the speedy Monorail.

So take advantage of an old friend in a new
home. Even Steven has moved from The Olympic
