1Zers :	S.T.O.P. Tours
Harold Martin, Director of Student Travel Overseas Programs writes that “You will no doubt, be particularly interested to know that we are printing a special folder on our STOP Ford-Tours of Europe for
1954	featuring Trans-Atlantic travel by your Rainbow Tourist Service.”
“Interested” is too mild a word.
The S.T.O.P motor tours of Europe offer flexibility of itinerary and opportunity for a close look at the countryside together with the advantages of group travel. A typical group included five Fords full with students, teachers and others from various parts of the United States, and with each car driven by a British student. They toured the Shakespeare country and other areas in England, crossed to Paris and motored through France, visited Rome and other parts of Italy, doubled back to Switzerland, and returned to the United States from France.
(See “Europe by Car” in the Standard Oil Company, New Jersey, publication “The Lamp” for June 1953—or write to S.T.O.P Tours, 2123 Addison St., Berkeley 4, Calif, to request a folder.)
Other attractive S.T.O.P tours include a Japan-Orient Adventure Cruise in conjunction with the San Francisco State College summer session, and offering 6 units of college credit; a South America tour with S.F. State for 6 units of credit, and a trip to Mexico for attendance at the summer session of National University.

NEA Travel Division
Tours tailored for teachers are the specialty of the Division of Travel of the National Education Association. The thousands of teachers who have traveled on their tours within the United States and abroad all testify to the quality and economy of the NEA offerings. Academic credit is available if desired, and if requirements for it are met.
