'SP OR 11 C11.11111 34/0047019,4004t • Before Dick Irvin, veteran of hockey teams, signed to, become the pilot of the Chicago Black \ Hawks of the National. League, there was the usual pre-signing discussion over his contract. Irvin was doing business with Jim Norris, principal pwner of the klawks. After the basic salary was agreed upon, there were written into the contract, one by one, various bonus clauses, This is quite the \ usual thing. Hawks had been last in the league through 1954- and 1955, and naturally owner Jim Norris gladly agreed to a bonus conditional on the team finishing in the play-offs, meaning fourth place or better, "Now" said Irvin, this being agreed upon, "put in another bonus clause" "For what?" enquired owner Norris, figuring the last 'Anus had been settled, "For Hawk entry into the Stanley Cup final" said Irvin quietly. Norris shrugged, wrote in the clause, and was ready to hand the contract over to Irvin. The gray-haired coach held up his hand. "One more clause" he said. "A bonus if we win the Stanley Cup?' Norris signed for the bonus. "I'll be Very happy to pay this," he said, "and all the other bonuses too." Returning to Chicago, Irvin, at 63 years of age, leaves Canadiens after coaching that team since 1940, and develop- ing such players as Richard, Lech, Bouchard, Geoffrion, Bouchard, Bill Durnan, Gerry McNeil, Doug Harvey, Dickie Moore, Tommy Johnson, Jacques Plante, Jean Beliveau, and many other greats. Canadiens have been under his leader- ship year after year, a potent factor in the National League, winning the Stanley Cup three times, the League title fuer times in a row. st Irving is leaving the Stanley Cup finalists to take over the tail-end cluh. "You get in a rut remaining in one place," was his comment as he became the 19th Hawk coach since the team moved into the major league in 1926, Your comments and suggestions for this'column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguion, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge Se, Toronto. Calvtrt DISTILLERS LIMITED AMMERSTBURG, ONTARIO The fall bride may find it hard to furnish a "dream" borne op a down-to-earth budget. However, there are ways Of stretching money for furnish, ings, One way is to buy unpaint- ed furniture And finish it at home, Finishing furniture is not d;l- ficult — just a matter of using the right product and tolloW/ng directions to the letter, A good basic rule is this; Never apply a finish to a surface that isnt thoroughly clean and dry. Sand with fine sandpaper and dust off with a turpentine-dampened cloth before you touch that paint brush! Natural, wood colors play an important role in modern deco- rating schemes. The attractive grain of good wood can be en- hanced and, at the same time, protected. by a clear varnish. Cer tain open-grained woods such as oak, walnut or mahogany will need a wood filler before varnishing while close-grained woods like pine or maple are all ready for the finishing job. New wood usually needs at least two coats of varnish, and each coat must be thoroughly dry before you start the next. It's a good idea to sand lightly between the coats, too. A special satin varnish, ap- plied as the final,coat, will give the furniture a lovely sheen. However, if• you're of the "el- bow-grease" school try rubbing down the ordinary varnish with powdered pumice and water. Polish with a coat of "Silicone" polish or hard wax and you'll get a "mellow" look that's strict- ly professional. In some woods, the natural color is not as attractive as it might be. If that's the case, give it a coat of wood stain before you• varnish. There are many stain colors on the market. The rosy- hued maple finish, fore instance; is one which is adaptable to many decorating schemes and can be applied to various types of wood with rewarding results. A final coat of clear varnish applied over a stain gives a hard:wearing finish that resists moisture. $0 Hid His Ugliness For Forty Years Vincenzo Bandiglio, the barber of Castelfranco, in Miscano lege in Italy, was very ugly. He was kind, helpful, polite, and highly regarded, but his ugliness was, as he puts it, "a cross I could not bear." So he hid himself in a cave. Vincenzo, now 83, was found recently by a courting couple. Entering a grotto deep in a wood some miles from the village, they discovered him preparing a meal. They took him back to the village where, trying to remem- ber words he had not used in nearly half a century, he re- counted his story. "In the' company of men my appeearance was no trouble. But I wanted to' marry and have children. The girls shuddered when they looked at me, but one day I fell in love with a girl who had beautiful black eyes. Every time I went near her she ran away. So at last I decided to walk and walk until I found a place to hide." In the next 40 years he lived on the fruit he grew near the cave and the game he trapped. For his few necessities he traded fruit and game with roving gipsies. The presence of a "caveman" was known in the area, but none of the few people who dared penetrate deep in the ,wood ever saw him. The war passed him by. The village has now taken him back, given him a cellar to live in, and has promised to feed and clothe him for the rest of his life. So old Vincenzo sits in the sun with his enormous flapping ears, his grotesquely long nose, his tiny eyes and straggling whisk- ers, and grins: "I'm a bit too old for love now, so I can forget my ugly face," he tells the passers- by. Baby-Sitter Wanted For a Gorilla! Mr. and Mrs. H. Greer, of Houston, TeXas, have a four-year- old gorilla named. Hugo, 'captur- ed on safari in Africa. They are prepared to part with t h e animal for about' $10,000, they say. On the other hand, if they can get someone to look after it they would just as soon keep the 80-11e. •ape, since they like him and think he will grow pp to be a circus star. Over 100 applicants showed up in response to a recent ,news- paper advertisement for a "gor- illa help." If Hugo, who was tied to the kitchen table, glow- ered at them, they were turned down, since ',Mrs. Greer thinks gorillas' need "love and affection" just like humaele. On the "short list" she put a young man who introduced Hugo to "the delights of bubble-gum, kept him from tearing down the curtains, destroying' the tele., phone message pad; and wind- ing himself up in the bedclothes. Hugo regards the telephone as his particular enemy, and be- comes terribly jealous when' Mrs. , Greer uses it. He will throw pbts and pans about, turn on gas taps, and chew up hunks of linoleum just to distract her. Mrs. Greer le ,now making her final choice. The job' of being nurse and companion to Hugo looks like going to a pretty gir! who lives next door to the Greers. Hugo nestled on her lap and let' her feed him his favourite food — vitamin pills and chewing- gum. BROKE THE BANK Monte Carlo was the scene of a. strange occurrence one night many years 'ago. An elderly gentleman took a seat in the casino and ventured fifty francs On Number 17: The number came uup. The old man pointed at Number 17 again and made no move to rake 'in any of his winnings, Again the little sil- ver ball came to rest at Number 17! The- croupier looked ques- tioningly at the Old man, who sat with his head down on one arm and his finger pointed al Number 17 on the board. Five more consecutive times the wheel hit Nbrnber 17. The old man's pile of chips was enor- mous. The crowd stood silent with admiration for his nerve The croupier had a hurried con- sultation with the directors, and announced that the bank had been broken and the roulette genie Was at an end, Eta the winner of 'the fortune _ never stirred He was dead, Furthermore,' a doctor testified in court he had been dead ever since the second spin. A dead man broke the batik at Monte Carlo. , YOU CAN DEPEND 0 When kidneys tai to remove crews tie ds and isitsteit, beak, senor. tired feeling, disturbed rest' Ofteti follows Dodd"ti Ridiseit rills SOH& LitS icideeitir td normal dtitk. fief better Bleep' better,.

Nearly , Killed For Whistling' Wolf whistlers in librnee are whistling more cautiously fol- lowing the recent arrest of six men by Rome police. The men were detained at a police station because they had been caught whistling at pretty girls in the street. It's not the first time that whistling, has been regarded as a crime. After the first World war the headmaster of a school at Essen, Germany, was arrested by oecupying French' troops be- . cause, it was alleged, a school- boy whistled a derisiVe tune while a French regiment was passing, An Englishman nearly lost his life simply because he whistled a-tune eaeing played by a native orchestra in a State juSt .over the. borders of the Indian mirth, west frontier. The fanatical tribesmen be- lieved that whistling'was an in- venticin of the devil and on no account would any of them in- &Inge in it. So; when the Englishman, WOO was disguised as a native haWke er,r, absent-mindedly began to whistle, the natives' suspicions Were aroused., It was only with great diffietilty that the English- man escaped from them and got back across the border. Mahe hate whistling. They have a saying that, after whist-, it takes a man forty days to clean his month. Iceland iS another country where whistling has never been popular.

But if the flowers are of the bulb variety, many of them have to be planted in the fall if they are to burst forth in all their glory next spring.' Gladioli; begonia and dahlia' are exceptions -to this rule, but most other bulbs -should be planted in the fall. The depth of planting varies with the type of bulb. Tulips, for instance, . should be planted at a depth of six *inches, with four inches be- tween each bulb. Jonquils are also planted at six inches, but they need about six inches be- tween them to grow properly. Narcissus and lily go a little deeper in the ground — about eight inches —With six to twelve inches between each bulb. To plant, dig a hole two inches deeper than the recommended depth. Into this hole put a tea- spoon of ' fertilizer and mix thoroughly with the next two inches of soil. On: top of this, put two inches of the untreated soil that was removed from the' hole. This prevents the bulb from coming' in contact with the fertilizer and also brings the hole up to the proper depth. • Now plant the bulb. The soil that was taken from the hole could be mixed with' a teaspoon of soil conditioner and then packed gently around the bulb. Potted bulbs need not ' be planted as deep as those out- doors; but they should' be wat- ered occasionally and kept in a OA dark place R ,until well 'sprouted. Then they may• be gradually' brought up to' the, light for the blooming. „period, 'about three months later. Before plant- ing, &tat bulbs with .dortibinae tion insecticideefungieide pro-, tect them from diseases in- sects. CIGARETTE roam, Dressed To 'Kill One of 'the old New York gangs used to march into battle against a rival mob carrying a dead rabbit impaled on a pike. This battle flag was a piece of symbolism, for in the slang of those days a "dead rabbit" meant a real, tough fighting' man. In addition each member of the gang donned his battledress of grimy undershirt and trousers with a red stripe; the opposing group wore red or yellow striped trousers. This "uniform" worn by cri- minals is of interest. The Camor- ra Secret Society is said to have originated in the. Middle Ages as a brotherhood of thieves and rogues. The very word "Camor- ra" is believed to be derived from the. Spanish "chamarra," a cloak usually worn by thieves and bullies. In his heyday-the true Cantor- rista could be recognized by his loose, red neckerchief, the ends floating over each shoulder, a striped sash, and the curious im- plement he always carried, a cane heavily loaded with rings. This peculiarity of criminals was often of great, use to the' police since a member of the Roach Gang could be. recognized by his boots which were heavy and usually had pieces of knife or axe blade let into the leather for stamping or kicking. Similarly, a racecourse tough was identified by a peaked cap which contained a razor-blade in the peak. The cap could do serious harm if slashed across an opponent's face: A woman whoe wore killer's "uniform" was the notoriOus Bonnie Parker who, in 193Z shot twelve men in cdideblood while out on gangster ftli4Ye With her fast-driving, mate, Clyde Bar- rove She always wore a scarlet dress and Was wearing it when a hail of police btillets ,cut short her career near balias, Tekas, in 1934. , O ,IFALL TO BRITISH First Class from Tourist Class from . .... ,. and CHRISTMAS PORTS: At Thrift-Season $192 ROUND TRIP $140 $280 . . . . ... . . . _ ... . ...
