“SORRY, we can’t go this time,” wrote an lowa wife who had requested one of our travel brochures, “but 1 want you to know how much I enjoyed reading the brochure and its day-by-day itinerary describing the tour. “It was almost like taking the trip by proxy! We can’t fit the tour into our schedule right now. but it sounds like a delightful trip, and you can be assured that we’ll accompany you on the tour in the future.” We’ll gladly send you a brochure, too, describing in detail our upcoming tours listed on the coupon below. You should find it enjoyable reading, even if you can’t go...but we should warn you, when you see how uniquely different our tours are from most other tours, you may find yourself signing up for the tour after all!

You see, our tours are designed for the special interests of rural people. We get you out in the countryside instead of louring cities and stuffy museums...we arrange special events for our groups (such as judging contest of cows on a Swiss or Austrian farm)...we have each couple stand up and introduce "If you flew on your own it would cost over SI.400; with us the entire tour is just $997!" themselves after lunch on the first day of each tour, so we all get acquainted and travel as one big * * family ”... weev en arrange for you to tour farm homes, including European “barn houses” where the barn and house are combined in one large

building...we arrange for “picnic box lunches” on some of our tours so we can eat on the bus or at a scenic mountain lookout site! And our tour prices? Check them. Just $997 per person for our 8-day October tours to Switzerland...and only $1,097 for our 13-day tour of Austria, Switzerland and Germany! Consider this: If you travel as an individual instead of a member of our group, the plane fare alone on the same airline (Swissair) will be over $1,400 to Zurich. Switzerland and back! That gives an idea of what a bargain our tours are—the plane fare, the side tours and all the special arrangements are included in our tour price. Ask for Details.

BILL POWTERIN of Crowley County, Colorado sent this little item in to Country People magazine: There were limes when our daughter Karen, (hen 5, found her sister, Kaihy, 4, just too much to put up with.

And Everywhere The Fanner Went The Pheasant... (Continued from EXTRA page 1) we walked and I’d chat with him, he’d give off a low, humming sound from his throat. It was just his way of communicating with me, I guess.” Like any other pet, this pheasant also liked to play—which sometimes got in the way of the farm chores. Once, when Jim was feeding cattle, the pheasant jumped out and “spooked” the herd, frightening them away, just because he wanted to be nearer his friend, Jim. “And when I’d mow hay,” Jim recalls, “that pheasant would sometimes jump right in front of the mower—l’d have to get off the tractor and shoo him away before I could keep going.” Then, near Christmas last winter, Jim’s fine-feathered friend disappeared one day, just as suddenly as he had appeared last June. Editor’s Note: Wait! The original story ended as above, but there’s now a new “chapter”. In early May of this year, the pheasant turned up on Jim Arndt’s farm again! Jim reports that he appears to have spent a good winter (could that bird have gone to Florida??). So far, though, the pheasant is keeping at a little more distance than last year, except when Jim’s at the grain dryer. “The hum of the dryer seems to relax him,” Jim says, obviously glad to have his unusual friend back at his side again. Country People editors plan to check back with Jim later in the summer to give their paid subscribers an update on the phriendly bird.
