Northwest, which is noted for its Royal Aloha Jet Service tq the sunny islands, believes in getting its vacationists into the proper mood for a delightful visit to Aloha-Land. And the gay-hearted tourists who will be taking the Rcyal Hawaiian flight Feb. 15. will get the "Royal Treatment." The "treatment" begins at the Seattle-Tacoma airport when the haunting refrains of a Hawaiian melody call attention to departure time. Northwest Super-Fast 720B Fan- Jets depart five days each week. On certain days the flight stops briefly at Portland befcre speeding away to th? Islands. In a few quick hours the Northwest 720B sets down at Honolulu's new 30 million dollar International Airport complex. , ." 6 - Perhaps no place in the world is a traveler made .to feel more welcome. A pretty Hawaiian girl presents each arrival with a beautiful floral garland of plumerias, carnations or other Island flowers. And each presentation is made with a warmhearted "Aloha." This word, the tourist quickly learns, means "Welcome" and "Love." Within minutes the vacationists are whisked to their Waikiki hotels, are unpacked, and are basking cn l he sunswept beach. The "Malihinis" (newcomers) feel r_s much at home as if thev were "Kamaainas" (old-timers*. Hawaii does that to its guests! BUSINESS FIRMS MAKE GOOD USE OF NEW ZIP CODE Postmaster LeRoy Smith reported today that business firms,- which account for 80 per cent of the nation's first class mail, are making good use of the nation-wide ZIP Cpde to help speed . their deliveries, a Posit Office department progress report showed. At the same time, a department spokesman said, the general public was showing increasing signs of accepting the five-digit coding system^ for addressing mail, indicating a smooth transition to the time, two years hence, when the mail will be sorted electronically by optical scanning machines in the country's larger post offices. Meanwhile, instructions will be mailed this week to the nation's postmasters on how to number their distribution cases so that the mail can be sorted manually according to its ZIP Code. , Although distribution of the instructions was held up during the holidays, McHenry and a few other post offices went ahead with the process on their own initiative. All post offices have a period of three weeks to follow suit, thus stimulating greater internal use of Zip Code by ' the department during the transition period. * The report from the department's fifteen regions to extensive use of ZIP Code during the Christmas season by bcth public and large volume mailers, although no effort was made to learn the ratio f.o total volume. However, of 24,100 firms reached through December, the report said that 21,000 --4*8 per cent--agreed to participate in the program. The ancient Greeks based their calendar on-the Olympic Games, as we base ours on the Birth of Christ. 1 TAXES UNCHANGED Taxes, are being increased in 40 other states while in Illinois taxes are the same for the first time in 10 years, Gov.
