Island, scored 19 touch-doWns for the Montreal Alouettes, and gained 1277 Yards yards by hurling his thick-set body through, the Rig Four opposition -- both records — he proved among other things that physical handicaps can be overcome. For Abbruzzi, who is but 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 205 pounds, has one arm three inches shorter than the other and a pair of legs that wouldlook better on a grand piano than on an athlete. But you can't beat Whatever• desire a boy may form in his heart, whether it's the 'desire to be a painter, an author, or an athlete. And Pasquale Abbruzzi developed a love for football when most kids were learning about blocks. He was different. He already knew about blocks and was studying tackles. The fact that he had four brothers who played football failed to smooth his path to stardom. Vpr Ma Abbruzzi was determined that her fifth son wouldn't enter adolescence as a candidate for medical science, She'd had her share of watching her boys come home on Saturdays with an assort- ment of injuries. Firmly, but with motherly tenderness she said, "Pasquale, no football." That made life rough for a kid growing tip in a small town in which his brothers were considered CiPowleys, Laydens, Millers and Stuhldrehers -- all rolled into one. But the urge to play was too strong and he joined the kids in a sandlot game. Of the 22 lads on the-field, Pasquale was the only one who was forbidden to play. So perhaps It Was Fate that he should break an arm, Fearful of the consequences, he concealed the injury for a week until the pain became unbearable and nis moans attracted his mother's attention. Surgery corrected tale injury but it left him with a short arm. Life rolled swiftly for Pasquale after that. His mother's silence was mute consent that he could continue: He went on to overshadow his brother Duge at Providence, decided to throw in 'his professional lot with the Alouettes and became a star overnight.

The code used by those work- ing in the villa referred to Roosevelt as "Al" arid Churchill as "BP. TelephOnes were also installed in every bedroom to connect the two great leaders and their staffs with the the- atres of War. When the conference ended at Casablanca, Winston Church- ill and President Roosevelt, Wearing overcoats, set out to- gether in a large limousine, which was painted a drab olive. They sat in the back seat to- gether with aplain clothes man beside the driver ifi front. A hamper was packed with their lunch, which they had on the Way down. It helped to break up the long journey, which took five hours. The en- tire route from Casablanca to Marrakesh, all 150 miles of it across desert sand, was lined by American troops — many thousands of them. At last came the final, report eri the car's progress: "The party is now turning tower& the villa and should arrive there in a few minutes." The Prime Minister alighted first; the President had to be assisted into his chair and was ,wheeled through the garden to the terrace. They sat there for a while looking out on to the lovely green pool set'between two large cedar trees.: Tea was then served. The Prime Minister who had been to Martakesh"before, Went in after tea and climbed to the top of the tower to see the glo- rious view of the Atlas Moun- tains, Which rise to a height of 12,000 feet beyond the noise and clamour of the bazaar. Churchill came down exhila- rated and said to the President, "We are most anxious, sit, for you to see the view from the top of the tower, Do you think you could 'be persuaded to make the trip?" The President re-, plied, "I have every intention of going tip there if ityc Men will be kind enough to take Me." The Wheel-chair was. too Wide to negotiate the winding stair= way, so the President WAS cars fled up the sixty steps to the top. Somebody had brought up wicker chair for hilt to sit in.

Science has produced a gad- get Which, it is Claiiried, will automatically tell" courting couples if they are suited for' each other.' A British' neurologist explains that this newest-scientific won- der looks .rather like .one 'of those bulky hair dryers in a beauty shop. • The person.who wants to be tested , sits in an easy chair. Then the gadget, made of whale- -bone and rubber is placed over his 'Or her "head. Next the per- son is told to relax and when he t is comfortable, a tow-way machine begins recording the waves put out by his brain, "The machine works rather -like a lie ,detector," says the neurologist. "It records brain activity "electriCally.

Tests also reveal whether two people are likely to work well together as business "or scientific colleagues. The biggest diawback of the new machine seems to be that it is „extremely bulky ,But the , experts working on it hope eventually, to develop something a lot smaller and more compact. The general view seems to be that although the gadget may find out which people have com- patible temperaments, it will not always take into account many .important factors neces- sary for a successful marriage. "Cupid has been doing -pretty well for a long time," is a typi- cal comment, made by a social consultant, "and I doubt if any machine' *can do* better!"

Toronto Established 1855 recently and, went along occas- ionally to see how the work Was*getting on: "The painter starts painting, and then the carpenter comes and rips up the work he has done. The plasterer scatters his plaster with gay abandon over the new woodwork, but the painter just goei on painting. The plumber arrives and drives Ids nails through the water- pipes and the electrical circuits." Repairs cost more, too. That's one reason council house rents , are rising. But often the tenants who grumble most about that could help to prevent it if only they'd see to simple jobs them- selves, instead of calling in' the maintenance men. The chairman of Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hous- ing Management Committee thinks their laziness is adding about £180,000 a year to main- tenance costs. In one case a workman had to be sent to replace a screw in the woodwork because the tenant, a joiner, wouldn't do It. "Why should he?" said his wife. "He's not paid for it." A Lancashire housewife was- having her bedrooms repapered Because she had an afternoon job, the two workmen were left on their own. She came back early and found them stretched Out on her bed,• sound asleep, with the alarm clock set for 5 pm.

There were thirty men in all staying in the house, including Harry Hopkins and Averell Harriman, and soon they began to assemble for drinks. Church- ill, wearing his famous siren suit, had a martini whilesRoose- velt took an "old fashioned." Cooks had been busy for days preparing a splendid m e al which was served by soldiers. Both great men were astonished at the variety and richness of the courses. The sweet, at least three feet high, was made to represent the ,famous Marra- kesh mosque. After dinner the President and Churchill settled down to work. They sat together until half past three in the morning, discussing aspects of the war and composing a summary of the deliberations at the confer- ence at Casablanca. After a sandwich or two and went off to their various rooms. The President said, "Now, Win- ston, don't you get up in the morning to see me off." And they bade each other good- night. But in the morning he had himself wheeled into Winston's room for a further farewell. Winston instantly climbed out of bed. "I'm coming with. you to the airport, Mr. President," he said. "I can get into my rompers in two twos." Wearing his farisou'S outfit under a dressing gown with black velvet collar and cuffs, and an air marshal's blue cap, Winston reached the• front door just as the President's chair was being taken down the steps, now covered by a ramp. The inevitable cigar was be- tween his lips as he drove with the President to the airport. Photographers picked him out there and cocked their cameras, but Churchill shook his head at them and, pointing with his cigar at his queer get-up, said, "You can't do this to mt.!" After the President's 'plane took off, -Winston returned to the villa where he stayed for two further days painting the magnificent- view from the tow- er of the sunset on the snows. That was the only 'picture he painted during thd whole of the war. He sent it to Presi- dent Roosevelt as a gift and it is now in the ROosevelt Me- morial Library at Hyde Park.

Photo- grapher's ingenuity, however went into high gear when he spotted this seeming connection between crane and tower as he passed a construction project some distance from the world- famous Paris landmark. • These days moat people work under pressure, worry more, sleep less.

"You really must not go' back without spending a night or two 'in Marrakesh." IV was January, 1943, and the two great men Were chatting, informally during their historic conference at Casablanca, short- ly after the landing in North s Africa. Marrakesh was Winston's fa- svourite holiday resort. And' he knew. of- a villa there — a very beautiful villa. „ The PreSident was not sure 'he could spare The time, but at last he was persuaded. The 'vii- • la, he was told, was built by an American lady named. Mrs.. Taylor, and 'was occupied at that moment by the American Vices Consul, Mr: Kenneth Pericles% The President thought that per- haps they could arrange to stay for a night there. But before this could be undertaken the villa had' to be examined for security purposes. The American. Vice-Consul was summoned to Casablanca. The villa .itself was visited by various security officials. The grounds were carefully inspect- ed. The villa stands !in relative isolation in extensive grounds of its own, With high Walls that ' shut it off from the rest of the town. There is only one en- trance and it , was felt 'that it would be reasonably safe.. , The villa's attractions had not been estaggerated.

There are two inner court- yards containing lovely gard- ens 'of orange trees, geraniume and bougainvillaea, together 'with black Marble fountains all indirectly lit, which gives them a strangely magical effect by night. The gardens cover about four acres of ground.
