Eating out can cost vaca-
tioners as much each day as
a hotel room. Here are a few
hints for cutting meal costs:
— Don’t order from room
service. Prices are higher,
selections more limited —
and chances are greater
your food will arrive cold.
— Eat the day’s big meal
before 2 p.m. Many restau-
rants charge more for
dinners than lunches
- If you want to eat at
your hotel or motel, choose
the coffee shop over the
restaurant.
— Ask local working peo-
pie to recommend restau-
rants that are both good and
inexpensive.
— If there are children in
your party, be sure to ask
about special menus.
And if all else fails, rest
assured that there is a
branch of your family’s fa-
vorite fast-food restaurant
nearby.

EARLY DISCHARGE FROM AIR FORCE
MESSAGE—I have recently been accepted lo the University
of Missouri School of Law. I am set to begin casses in mid
August. My problem arises out of my present active duty
commitment to the U.S. Air Force. Since my entry into the
Air Force, personnel in my career field hate been eligible
for early releases under several programs, in some eases up
to two years early. Now that I am attempting to separate 15
months early it seems that all avenues are closed. I fully
understand my contractual obligation to the Air Force and I
stand ready to fulfill my obligation by serving in the Resen et
or any other manner suitable to the Air Farce.
Sir. I cannot tell you how much this ac ceptance to few school
• means to me, my family and future. M original application
for early release has been denied. I am appealing that de-
cision, but I'm not hopeful. Any action you might take will
be sincerely appreciated —R.S., Fort Worth.
SENATOK BENTSEN RESPONDS—The Air Force tells me
your appeal has been approved. You are scheduled for early
release on August 10. This will give you time to establish
yourself in Kansas City before the fall term begins.

POSTAL PROBLEM
MESSAGE—I am 80 years old and retired from the Gulf Oil
Company. I was gone about three months visiting relatives
in another state. I had a post office box here with the rent
paid up for several months but when I returned I found that
the postmaster had rented the box to someone else. He re-
fused to give the box back or to refund the payment.
I receive an annuity from Gulf on the first of even month.
So far I have not received this month's check. I need it to
live on and can get no satisfaction from the post office here.
They have rented me another box which is not satisfactory.
Can vou do anything to help?—H.M., .Monahans.
SENATOR BENTSEN RESPONDS-Postal officials advise
me that when you submitted a change of address order to for-
ward your mail out of state. your box was closed in accordance
with postal regulations. Regulations further state that if a box
is surrendered before the end of the rental period it may be
rented to another customer after 15 days. Refunds on box
rentals can only be made for six-month periods and since you
had rented the box for only six months no rejund can be
made to you. The Postal Service reports that they offered
their assistance in finding your missing check. but I under-
stand that the company has agreed to issue a replacement.
The postmaster informs me that he recently met with you
to offer both his assistance at any time and to apologize for
any inconvenience the misunderstanding may have caused.

here are some tips that can
save you money
— investigate hotels and
motels outside the high-
priced downtown and tourist
areas But make sure the
money you save by staying
off the beaten path will not
be consumed by added
transportation costs
— if you will be driving,
select a hotel or motel that
offers free parking This is
especially important if you
will be visiting a large city
— See if a hotel or motel
has a toll-free reservation
number before writing a let-
ter or making ' a long-dis-
tance call Check the yellow
pages of your phone book
and the toll-free information
operator
— When making reserva-
tions. specify how many will
be staying in the room and
how many beds you will
require Then request the
cheapest room in that cate-
gory
Inform the hotel or
motel if you will arrive
much past 6 p.m Otherwise,
your room may be given to
somebody else. You may
have to put up a deposit if
you plan to arrive late
— Ask for written confir-
mation of your reservation,
including the rate. Also
doublecheck the rate upon
arrival.
Inquire about special
rates, such as the bargain
packages city motels fre-
quently offer to weekend
guests.
Many hotels end motels
allow children to stay free in
their parents' room But
check the management's
definition of "child."
Observe the hotel or
motel's check-out time
Many city hotels have
ticket agents who can get
you seats for the theater or
symphony. But you can usu-
ally save money by buying
tickets directly from the box
office
How can you find accom-
modations that are clean
and comfortable — but
cheap” One way is to consult
a directory of budget facili-
ties:

than 1,000 motels and hotels
