Chaim Laskov, newly appointed Israeli "arrriy chief of staff,
is pictured in his home town in Tel Aviv. Born in Russia, 39-year-
old Laskiv moved to Israel in 1925. During World War II, from•
1947 to 1946, he served in the British army and rose to the
rank of major. As successor to. Gen. Moshe Dayan as Israel's
top fighting man, Laskov will probably have less time for his
hobbies-collecting pipes and daggers.

Operation Reliance, Inc, is a
eompany whose workers are all
severely physically handicapped.
It is a non-profit corporation that
will attempt to show a profit,
and this profit will be used to
help fellow-clisahled Canadians,
it is not ,ellaOty but,a legitl-
mate business operated in full
and open competition, paying
,its Woriaeles'induatrefeWide wages.
Its existence is based on its
ability., to operate competitively
at as progit.
• Traditionally, :the employment
of disabled *people has been
mostly in sedentary occupations.
Too frequently it has been at the
lev,e1 of -weaving rugs, caning
chair's, or -making baskets—low-
pay type jobs,
This manufacturing p o licy
will be completely opposite.
From the outeet they are de-
termined to ' btiild a highaskilleci
and competitive operation with
as, many ,customers as possible.
At the beginning they will cons
centrate on short-run sub-con-
e trading in the metal stamping,
screw ,machine products and
metal spinning fields, and will
also utilize the exceptional hand-
skills ,of some of the workers in
technical assembly work. In ad-
dition, they plan to manufacture
and market a line of hand-made
costume jewellery, The brilliant
young Canadian designer, Lois
Etheringtore is creating proto-
types which will be manufac-
tured in "limited editions" and
marketed under the "ORI" sig-
nature. *
As the work" load increases,
they will enlarge the staff. The
plans now call for a work force
of 30 physically-disabled work-
ers within two years,
Operation Reliance, Inc.,. "is
located in North yards nean'the
intersection of highwayS '400
and 401 at 214 Pellatt Avenue.
The factory is a new building
containing almost 5,000 square
feet on one floor. Most of the
equipment has been obtained
through the assistance of the
Department of Defence Produc-
tion, Machine Tool Division.
The Rehabilitation Foundation
for Poliomyelitics and the Orth-
opaedically Disabled (March of

tion to the original survey lead-
ing up to the formation of Oper-
ation Reliance, Inc. It has alsp
provided the grant that insures
the :necessary operating capital.
Operation Reliance intends, to
repay this grant, as if it were a
loan, out„ of operating profits.
The Foundation, with its ex-
tensive experience in Rehabili-
tation, will continue to provide
its invaluable leadership,
The mission of Operation Re-
liance, Inc., is to encourage and
aid the growth of skills of its
workers so as to provide broad-
er service to industry, at the
same time giving employment
and training, to the potentially

Then he would be done, and he
would stand in his tracks and

Right-Hand Man
When it was announced, just
before Christmas, that the tip-
staff of the High Court of Eng-
lA'rid was ordered to Scotland to
make an arrest, millions iefilteo-
pie must have asked: '"Wheat
a tipstaff and what does he do?"
The office of tipstaff has exist-
ed for centuries in Britain. He
is an official appointed by the
Lord Chancellor, and his main
job is to arrest and escort to
jail those guilty of contempt of
court.
A former tipstaff once went
into action after a disgruntled
appellant 'in the Court of Appeal
had suddenly begun to hurt to-
matoes at the presiding judges.
The man was seized and the tip-
staff escorted him to prison to
serve a six weeks' sentence for
contempt.
The tipstaff's symbol 'of office
is a black• ebony. staff about a
loot long, Silater-mourited at both
ends-and with a silver band in
the middle. 'There's a legend that
in the old clayS the staff was
longer and when the tipstaff led .
the judges on ceremonial occa,
signs it was his duty "to tip
people out of the way" with it.
The .tipstaff is really a con-
' stable. of the High.Court and, you
can usually -see hl .a with••his
staff at London's ,Lord Mayor's
Shaw 'or. on the day -the legal
year begins (October -12th) when
he marches 'at the 'head of the
judges' procession, brilliantly
decked in gold lace.

The French supreme Court, has
just decreed that race horses
-And farm horses arc the same
thing—specifically, that a man
paying all wagers at the race
track vAndOW is an agricultural
laborer and comes under the
Ministry of Agrictiltue. This
decision has not proved popular
with the men at the windows,
who hOped to find themselves in
a better paying Category, but it
Shows chow judges Cab embrace
about anything and retain their
aplomb".
I nofjced the Associated Press
made the obvious reniark—that
a lot of race fans felt they had
detected plow-horse mannerisms
in losirig fel/elites, but it re-
mains ler me to point out the
opposite, I have always been
aghast at the way farm horses,
every time I am, seround, think
they ares race horses. They, get
to thinking like these French
judges, and' become absurd:
We dide have one horse who
really was' a ;ace horse. He had
been famods in his time, but
that was years long gone by. No-
body could remember just what
records he once held, but every-
body agreed he'd held some. We
swapped a small load of late hay
for him, thinking he'd be good
for raking hay and cultivating.
He lounged around, mostly, and
the hardest work he ever did
for us was pull the track fork
rope when we ran hay up in the
mows. But he never forgot his
former fame, and reminded us
of it whenever he could.
Somebody said once this horse
might make a fair saddle horse,
Here in Maine we went more
for buggies, and riding on top
was left to the society folks, but
we did have an old. McClellan
saddle in the tie-up, It may have
belonged to the original McClel-
lan. I h'isted it on the horse one
afternoon when I was in an ex-
perimental mood, and climbed
aboard, I was younger then,
This horse turned his head
and looked up at me with with-
ering scorn. I glared back with
equally unfeigned disadmira-
tion, which is as good a way to
• handle a 'horse as there is. We
thus spent some time glaring,
after which he put his head
down and began eating. Then I
drew gently back on the reins,
clucking ,gently, trying to pre-
vail upon him with the gentle-
ness and tenderness so much
recommended by the great
horsemen of the world. I Spoke
to him and appealed to his bet-
ter nature, if any.
Then I pulled harder on the
reins, and as my determination
increased I had him so he looked
as if his mouth was split clear
back to his withers, and he kept
on 'eating as unconcerned as a
hen on eggs. Some horses are
said to be "strong in the mouth."
This one was strong- clear back
to his tail. And, you know, it is
a ridiculous thing to be all ac-
coutered for a canter, and just
sit up there while your horse
finishes his dinner.
So I climbed down, where-
upon the horse picked up his •
head, snorted, and struck off for
a fine run up the road. He was
gone about four hours, saddle
and all.
The next day a small boy
down the road came up and
tried him, and the horse turned
out to be a fine saddle horse for
small boys. The small boy rode
him for years, but whenever I
went near him he thought he
was one of those French judges.
We had a respeetable old
horse named Joe wholead -grown
old in the service and was as
reliable at" the sun. He always
worked as nigh; horse of a team,
$o whenever we hitched him
into a pung or buggy he would
pull to the left. He had a way of
crossing directly in front of any-
body we were meeting on the
road, arid this manufactured
eorrie confusion every 'time it
happened.
