The smart, silvered invitation arrival "out of the blue"—at, the hOmes of 2,000 celebrities re. questing their presence at the awteducillengehoutrIrchictoofr sarit,dmVaircttionrinilel the "Street .of i f Dreams.Non distinguished. mg gee? tish ee oyuZ quite couple, recall y ehthaving 300, tried to turn up at the church; and by doing so caused complete traffic chaos, bewil- dering Paris taxi-drivers and the policemen who tried to direct them to a non-existent church In a street-that-never-was! The invitation was in fact a novel publicity stunt launched by a company to promote one of their films—just one more of the many hoaxes pulled recently on an unsuspecting world. Take the case the smiling twenty-nine-year-old Greek who was so handsome and distin- guished that lie fooled the United. Nations, Arriving at Geneva as the "Director of Health from Alaska," he was feted and feasted—yet it was all just another hoax, At the World Health assembly he voted on behalf of Greece— until the real delegates returned to their seats and threw him out. Posing as an •expert on drug ad- diction, he lectured the scientists of the United Nations narcotics commission. But when he began talking sheer nonsense uproar ensued and the laughing Greek was ejected. From as far aawy as Chile headlines rattled when it was announced that a young mother had given birth to seven babies. It was a hoax pulled off for a medical students' rag. In New York hundreds of folk panicked at loudspeaker an- nouncements that enemy aero- planes were approaching the city. A radio voice warned every two minutes that the 'planes were getting nearer. Motorists abandoned their cars and took. cover. Mothers franti- cally sought their children.• Then the police found radio addict Stan Gordon making the an- nouncement into his home-made amplifier at an upper window. There was the breakfast table ,ehock, too, that greeted 200 folk -when they opened the following letter: "One of our educated apes is available to you for a 30-day , trial. Our apes can be used in housework. Their initial cost is low. They require little food or clothing. Unless we hear from you to the contrary we will send your ape.. . ." A scientist explained to the police that he was testing the householders' gullibility. Even canny Lancashire was ' fooled recently when a practical joker began telling his friends of a prize contest he said he had heard announced by Radio Lux- embourg. Prizes of $150, he said, were being offered for empty packets of cigarettes of a cer- tain make with the packer's mark "C" in the seams. The rumour spread like wild- fi-e and the results passed far beyond the joker's ken. Soon . Radio Luxembourg was being besieged by empty cigarette carton's of various brands; the prizes were thought to range from $50 to $750 and thousands of people were looking for the packer's mark. Poems For Sale Have you ever thought about paper clips and what they are used for? A research instituted by an American firm manufac- turing paper clips revealed that out of 100,000 only 28,000 were used for holding papers together. Of the remainder, 3,196 were used as pipe cleaners, 5,534 were used as ear probes, 5,308 as fin- gernail cleaners, 5,302 as tooth- picks, 19,413 as poker chips, 406 ah olive stabbers, 14,163 as toys to use while telephoning, 4,183 as shirt sleeve adjusters, 192 for throwing at people, 7,200 to hold the fronts of blouses together, and the rest as hair clips or for making running repairs to pen- cil sharpeners.

"Well, I don't know," replied the blonde, "I wouldn't risk marrying again, anyhow." In all this, Bogota is not greatly different from other South American markets. The Indians of the Colombian pla- teau are less colorful and dis- tinctive than those of the -Ecua- dorian Andes; and in Colombia one misses the disdainful llamas which in Ecuador condescended to act as beasts of burden. But in Bogota, alone of all the world, does one find poetry sold side by side with poultry. Little boys stroll about offer-, ing for a few pennies small paperbound collections of what they eo prettily call poesias; and cheaper still are verses' what they are doing as we had an idea the survey was complet- ed some weeks ago.,One thing is certain we shall no be 'told to move off, just yet' as I noticed in the morning paper, that work is only now „starting, from No. 27, across to No. 10, and will likely be' completed 'in 1959! From No. 10 , work , probably proceed in this direction but as No. 10 is about 'twelve miles from, Isere obviously farmers in this ,district can cool their heels for quite awhile yet. Just before the yellow panel truck came along today I 'could see Mitchie-White away across the field hunting mice. He evi- oently didn't like being disturb- ed and came home in a hurry. It was the first time he had come to the house for about a week. That cat is the greatest hunter we. ever had and because he is all white we can see him such a long way off. Well, we sent another veal calf to market, last Monday, and it fetched top price. Wonderful! Then we got a new calf to take its place so we still have only a little milk to separate. That reminds me — I picked up the lest cream cheque at the cream- ery and it was over $21. It should have been about $3.50. A mis- take, of course, and yet I could have cashed that cheque and no one been any the wiser. But what good would ill-gotten gain have brought us? Incidentally, we don't need any super-markets in .our town. Our local merchants .have pro- vided their customers 1 t .a. w..- plen- ty of parking space so now we can shop at home. Sure, we may spend a cent .or two more here and there but at least it is going into the pocket" of men who make our town their home, pay local taxes and take an interest it, social services, churches and schools. What does anyone save by going to outside shopping centres anyway? It takes gas to get there and if you have child- ren along it is doubtful if you get away without spending a dime or two giving the 'young- sters' a ride on the big horse. Ah-ha I see another fellow getting a ticket on the highway . maybe he and his family are just hurrying home from a whopping centre! ISSUE 38 1956 Did you have any rain last week? We certainly had plenty. It rained and stormed inter- mittently all day Thursday. And if it wasn't raining it was so dull you just wondered what might be coming next.; Late in the afternoon I wanted to gb down to the postoffice but every time I put on my hat ,and coat . . crack . an,other storm started up. And since I am a coward insofar as ,weather is concerned I decided to stay home. Perhaps the slight earth tremors felt in the Ottawa dist- rict the day before were 're- sponsible for such persistent wet weather. It was pretty hard' on the farmers trying to harvest their oat crops. Yesterday Part- ner and I took a run aruond the country and saw many fields half cut that had taken quite a beating. We even saw a field of wheat being combined—so badly down that only the weeds were showing. Something drastic must surely have held up the work on that faun for the wheat harvest to be so late. We were glad the weather cleared Thursday night so we were able to watch the wind-up of the Republican Convention— and to see and hear President Eisenhower's speech. What a wonderful reception he received, and who could help liking the man? But he got Partner quite worried. Time after time he raised his arms above Ne head in acknowledging the cheers of the crowd. We always thought that to raise the arms above the head was the last thing a person with a heart condition should do. Perhaps we are wrong. One thing I noticed when he was epeaking, at every opportunity he would glance across at his wife and then smile his big, broad smile, just as if he were trying to reassure her by saying —"Don't worry, my deer—I'm all right!" Of course, another excitement last week was Marilyn Bell's suc- cessful swim. I imagine fifty per Cent of her admirers were hop- ing she wouldn't try again but since she did naturally we all hoped she would win, It wasn't actually the swim that mattered so much—we just didn't want to see our plucky young girl defeated or hurt. You will notice I said "our" — don't you think that is how almost everyone feels in Ontario Sort of pos- sessive . all want to claim that lovable young person as OUR Marilyn Bell. Nearer home our intereat at the moment is in the highways —the old and the new. On the old highway No. 25—the Pro- vincial police are having quite a field day, passing but tickets to speeding motorists Partner was cutting weeds along the fence the other day and in a short while he saw four Motorists given tickets. Another time I saw three ears stopped by the pollee. Maybe it is just as well for the traffic is really feat along this road. There is 610 a little activity On the 401 survey, We can see four Men popping tip and down like jack- rabbits across the field. We don't know .406b THINGS' COME IN INIdet — Pour sets of triplets enjoy birthday fOr the tattim Standing just behind the cake acre dedirge Eugene, Helene and George EdWhl i five years 61d---the honoured trio, The big boys in back are the BedVe? triplets—Barry, Larry and Harry, eight years old.
