The inhabitants of the little
village of.Telephone, in North
Texas, gave three ringing cheers
when it was recOtly announced,
that the telephone company was
going to 'install a telephone there
before the 'Winter.
It'a Yeara ;since anyone tele-
phoned Telephone, This oddly
named village had a telephone
once, but in 1952 it was blown
down in a gale, SO now that a
telephone is being installed
again, the people are feeling less
sensitive about living in a place
called Telephone and having to
ownaellk a couple of miles to the
next village before they 'can use
but there are some even
stranger place-names elsewhere
in the United States. There's a
village called Hot Coffee, for in-
stance. where the favourite bev-
erages are beer and tea. And
how would you like to live in
such queerly named places as
Bowlegs, Gizzard, Red Bug and
Hot Quarter or in a township
called Tiff?
How does a young man living
in the hamlet of Kiss Me Dar-
ling, feel when he sits down to
write a letter to his girl friend
who live in Dimple and Bliss?
In the U.S.A. there are also six
Belles, five Maidens, two Dar-
lings and a Damsel.
Many place-names are the
names of girls. There are, for
instance, thirty-two Mations and
six Evas. In all the States there
is only one Man although there
are four Bachelors, three Bene-
dicta and, a Newcomer in Mis-
sissippi,
In Tasmania there's a place
called Nowhere Else while
County Galway has a Maam.
Peculiar place-names in Britain
include, Great Snoring arid Little
Snoring in Norfolk, Upton
Snodsbury, Worcestershire, Bar-
ton - in - the - Beans, Leicester-
shire, Pity Mee in County Dur-
haiiin—T011eid" Poicaum, Dorset
and Nasty in Herefordshire.

Aetually wiser spending of
public funds is what all of us
',taxpayers want. But We'd like to

thrown about on some of our
gravy-train plans, It 'makes us
boil to read' a report ilice this:
In the past 60 days the goyern-

Mg up eggs to support prices in
the face of ruinous overproduc-
tion, During the same 60 days
the government has loaned, $1
million to people who want to
get into the egg producing busi-
ness,
And all those eggs we bought
and paid for probably will be
'dumped. Government subsidies,
checks for crops not grown,
money for products that are
dumped, or s burned — this is not
free enterprise. Recently a Chi-
cago doctor came out here as a
convention speaker and he pro-
posed a government subsidy, for
young married couples so esthey
could have their children.;~ and
rear them during what he called
their ideal years. Just another

scene of tile taping and having
trouble with it. The tensions

ing the fourth take. "It's no-
good!" she cried despairingly.
The screen in a nearby room
went black and Miss Bergman's
husband, Lars Schmidt, gaged at
it impassively. In another 'mom,
an ad-agenay man sat, waiting
for his TV screen, to peacock
with color: Nears'-hin t "composer
David Asneerp woeked on. music
for the score.` In the control
room, squashed between aides,
director-producer John Frank-
enheimer hunched f or w a r d.
Since $,20 that evening, when
the taping oa the show began,
Frankenheirner had been driving
everyone hard; His collar was
unbuttoned and his voice • had
worked itself into a spiky rasp.
He chanted: "Let's make it. Let's
make it. Let's make it."
It had all begun in NeW York
in May, when Hubbell. Robinson,, ,-
executive produaeid of NBC-Ilys.,
"startime," tosseda papei:Igeerelet
book to James Costigan, lataliore
of last, year's TV smash, "Little:
Moon of. Alban." The book was
Henry James' "The Turrissof -the
Screw," a novella about a „goy-
eriles• who fights to save the
wails of 'two children — played
by 'Heywood Morse' and Alexan-
dra Wager — seemingly botind
in compact with evil ghosts. Cos-
tigan wove his three acts in,
Galway, London, and Paris. Miss
Bergman agreed to make her
dramatic TV debut as the gov-
erness.
Arriving in New York for re-
hearsals, Miss Bergman made
no bones about her lack of en-
tliusiasm for live T.V. The 42-
year-old, thrice-married, -two-
time Academy Award, winner
was frank, too, about her re-
ception by Americans; "They
think of me as a naughty girl
who ran away from home, was
very bad, and has now return-
ed . . ."
The cast held preliminary re-
hearsals at a hotel in New York
'before shifting onto the 11,400
square feet of NBC's color Stu-
dio 2 in Brooklyn. There were
problems, but by 2:40 one af-
ternoon last week,, when the
dress rehearsal was started,

Here are one or two salty
hints which may come in handy:
To cool bottled drinks quick-
ly when unexpected guests ar-
rive, put the bottles in a pail
and pack them with ice and salt,
very much as you pack your ice
cream freezer.
If you want to cool a, pudding
quickly, place the container 'in ,
a pan of cold, well saltednaader.
The proper strength salt solu-
tion for processing vegetables
for freezer storage need not be
guesswork: a two per cent salt
solution is approximately 1 heap-
ing tablespoon of salt to 1 quart
of water; a three per cent solu-
tion is approximately Pis table-
spoons of salt per 1 quart, of
water.

touch of the bizarre about Han-
nam when investigating,
Shortly after the war' he went
o lieleteaci in North Wales to
investigate the murder of a wo-
man found buried in the sands
there, The husband was arrest-
ed, It was also Holyhead's
Thanksgiving Week when he was
taken to the police station to be
charged.
A huge crowd lined the ap-
proaches to the police station.
There was also a band near-by
—for Thanksgiving celebrations.
As Harinam approached with the
accused man, the musicians
broke into "You Can't Marry
Ten Pretty Girls."
But Hannam is not only a
"Murder Man." He is an expert
on currency investigation. In
1947 the Yard sent him to the
United States to investigate one
of the biggest-ever transatlantic
currency rackets.
Later he posed as a holiday_
maker on the Continent to un-,
mask a man who was running
another currency racket which
was world-wide.
For weeks Hannam visited
casinos and gambled at the
tables. All the time he weaved
his net—and caught the man.
The Count of Scotland Yard had
played his role so perfectly that
many people thought he was a
wealthy playboy of the peerage!
Inevitably, through his public
lectures. t h r o u g h newspaper

public following.
People ask for his autograph,
When he was grilled by defence
counsel, newspapers got a num-
ber of letters protesting about
"this monstrous attack on a good
policeman," or rche does a very
difficult job well." After. one
case a national newspaper re-
ceived over a hundred letters
supporting the policeman,
But wherever crime is discus-
sed, Hannam will always be re-
membered for his report into al-
leged bribery and corruption
among London policemen. He
worked in completeseceecy. And,
his 5,000' word report resulted in
. three inen ,being brought to trial
for conspiracy. The Lord Chief
Justice said: "Thanks are due to "
Hannam for his patient and ex-
cellent inquiry."
Many will always remember
Hannam dispelling the fantastic
rumours that swept Eastbourne
before the arrest of Dr. ,Tohn
Bodkin Adams, who was acquit-
ted at the Old Bailey on a charge
of murdering a patient. For
w...eeks the resort had been full r --1 1-
of wild stories.
Hannam, in charge of the in-
vestigations. called a Press con-
ference. In five minutes he said
there had been no mass killings.
there was no hypnotic killer at
large, there were going to be no
mass exhumations. But he said
there would be a' series of ex-
pensive libel actions if sttch
stories were not stopped.
Then he left Eastbourne to go
home to his ground-floor flat in
Willesden, North London, Wait-

cigar in leis mouth,
A shiver went through the
crowd , of pleasurable expec-
tation „ . of being close to one
of the most brilliant and ruthless
detectives in the world.
They watched Superintendent
Herbert Hannam eagerly. On
that day, het enough to melt
blobs of tar in Gibbet Street,
Halifax, Hannam wore an im-
maculate tropical j a c k et of
cream linen and a delicately
striped shirt that blended with a
dark grey tie held down by a
gold chain tie-pin.
His sleek, silvery hair was.
brushed sharply back from his
broad face. His manner was a
cross between amusement and
arrogance. But everybody was
impressed. Everybody agreed he
lived up to his reputation.
Hannam had gone to Halifax
to hunt a killer. It was Whit
Monday, 1957. when lie arrived.
Eut not even the holiday flavour
and sun could blot out the me-
mory of the violence which had
come to tiny, 80-year-old Miss
Emily Pye in her poky store on
the corner of Gibbet Street.
Only twelve hours had passed

and the minor attribute of be-
ing the best-dressed policeman
in the country.
He used all those gimmiaka in

Finally, he asked for every-

the shop up to six months before
the murder to let the police fin-

A week after the killing, Han-
nam spent four hours alone in
the shop. From behind its faded
curtains he, peered at passers-by.
Then he came out to say:
,`I've been getting the /atmo-

Useful Covers
For School Books
School` books even 10 years

With wrapping paper jackets to
protect their resale value,
Toddy however, cover designs
and colors are so attractive that
transparent book covers have
come the fad 'with the school-
bag set.
Thrifty mothers prepared
themselves for the fall flurry of
book-covering by setting aside
the transparent polythene bags
which arrive with :purchases of
blouses, sweaters and even gro-
ceries. But polythene film can be
bought in molly stares bY the
yard.
Lay the book epee on the
sheet of polythene and cut out
a piece about two inches larger
than the book all arotend. Fold
in the polythene over the front
and back covers, leaving it
standing up top and bottom.
. There with scissors, cut the film
in to the back terrier§
Of the book and clip out the red-
tangles of film. Neatly complete'
the folds inside each cover and
fasten firmly with cellulose tape.
With this type of book cover,
titles are clearly visible and
there's no danger of the wrong
book going to echoed. Even if
children get caught in the rain;
