to When PaStInalo "Pat" Abbruzzi, a
stocky, footballer from Warren, Rhode.
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.
AS he saw the sun Setting and
flushing the snow` Witli a pink
glow, he gazed spellbound and
spoke ecstatically abut the un-
forgettable Scene. Churdhill

SMALLEST HOSPITALS
There are several 1-bed hos-

Science has produced a gad-

A British' neurologist explains
that this newest-scientific won-
der looks .rather like .one 'of

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. 'By compar-

ing the charts of two people, we
can` see if they are generally
suited • to each other from a
standpoint of , Semperament."
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

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

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.
OF 'COURSE NOT — They're not
moving the Eiffel Tower. 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.

Today's tense living, lowered resistance,'

"You have come all this
way," said Prime Minister Win-
ton,a Churchill to President
Roosevelt. "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. It is a 'mod-
ernized version of a Moroccan
castle with thick walls of, pink
plaster. There IS one large
spreading building dominated
by a high tower.
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. There are olive
trees, fountains, rivulets and a
pool, which when seen from the
top of the tower, sParkles like
a square-ant emerald' inr the
Moroccan sunlight.
