The Brussels Post, 1961-06-22, Page 3Watch That Sneeze,
:149sy Be Deadly
A Stockport woman Wet her
life not long ago through fallipg
down a flight of stairs during
violent attack of sneezing, A
Manchester man sneezed so vio-
lentlY that he fell out of bed-
and broke his leg. In Texas a
motorist sneezed twine while
driving along a busy read. His
ear crashed into a lamppost,
then bounced back and hit an-
other car, which collided with
a bus, As a result of his sneezes
thirty-seven people had to be
taken to hospital for treatment,
A sneeze is a reflex action to
relieve irritation of the nose and
throat, and although, it only lasts
one-tenth of a second it takes'
such control of the body that it
can have serieus results.
A New York nurse claimed
that she contracted infantile
paralysis 'because a colleague
sneezed over her. She was
awarded $10,000 dompensation
when she took her case to court,
Not all sneezes have drastic
results, however. An r,', ex-soldier
had a bullet embedded in his
head in such a position that an
operation for its removal was
considered too dangerous. There
one day he sneezed and the bul-
let shot out of his nosel
A Londoner sneezed so hard
that, he dislocated his shoulder.
He was taken to hospital to have
it reset. On the operating table
he sneezed' again and the shoul-
der clicked back into place.
An untimely sneeze brought a
wanted murderer to justice
New York. lie was drinking a
cup of coffee in a, cafe when he
suddenly, sneezed, The cup crash-
ed to the floor. The commotion
attracted the attention of a de-
tective eating at' a nearby table.
Ye recognized-the man and are,
rested 'him.
An Australian bank clerk was
walking along the beach of a
New South Wales seaside resort
when he suddenly felt the need•
to sneeze. He took out his hand-
kerchief to smother it, and then
discovered that in doing so he,
had lost a sweepstake ticket pur-
chased that afternoon.
A month later he learned thttc
his ticket had won a $45,000
prize, Unable to produce the
counterfoil he forfeited the
prize.
For continuous sneezing a
'<elves vespeeen would take some,,
beating. She sneezed forty dines
a minute for eleven days. In
1949, a Buckingham schoolboy
stanteciesneeiing in his dorneit9rY
one nighl.''A'iter his schocAlatese
had counted o er'fa thousandeJ
sneezes, they summoned the spa-
Iron,
The boy was taken to the sick-
bay„ and during the next eight
days sneezed 130,000 times, He
could sleep only when heavily,-
drugged and the attack did not
stop until a lengthy course of
treatment had been administer-
ed;
A Pantomime was once ruined
by a sneeze. TO encourage 'a ra-
ther temperamental prima donna
a London producer filled the
front seats of the house with
his friends to applaud her open-
ing night, One of them, however,
*sneezed while the singer was
holding a top note.
It, started a muffled tittering,
then when the man erieersd
again, the laughter spread. In a
few seconds the whole audience
was laughing and the singer be-
came inaudible, She stormed off
the stage and refused to return.
"The average girl makes a
poor wife," observes a philoso,
pher, Maybe, but she makes a
better wife than the average
man deserves.

A Great Game Fish
The Pike !
Even With the lighter lines
'generally 4. used today, chances
are that You can get a pike up
to your "`boat pretty easily, You,
may think that the old timers'
contempt for him as a fighter
was fully' justified. But when
you reach for your net, he will
prbbably whirl like greased
lightning and be gone almost in-
stantly — perhaps straight under
Your beat and)toff On the other
-side.
One of his favorite tricks is to
swim quite sloettly, as though e he
couldn't go any faster — as if
he were tiring. Just when you're
getting used to: this, think he'll
seen be codling up to the boat
again, exhausted this time — in-
stantly, jet propelled, he's off
again... td who cub tell in what
direction`,
So raften, these who think I've
exaggerated his fighting- quell-
, ties eehould. yy„ fishing for him
early in "the season — or, much
better, to find him at 'his fight-
ing hest, ,after some frost in the
fall. Then, before they 'get
through with him rather, be
he gets' through' with them
they'll- be ready to agree that
I haven't overrated him one bit.
What tackle is suited for larg-
-er pike? Where they're most
gel-levelly found, arouhd dense
weeds or snags, the usual fresh-
water spinning tackle, with
about six-pound line, certainly
isn't --- it would mean losing
almost all the good ones, ,land-
ing only 'the smallest. If yoU
'want tneuse spinning tackle, it
should be the heavier salt-water
type.- But tnost veteran pike an-
glers 'seem to prefer casting
tackle, a regular &tiling reel
such as is used for bass will
handle heavy line — though of
course it won't cast as well as
with Tighter line.
Where you generally find
them, if they run a good size,
you'll need a line of 15-pound
test. „If you think you may con-
nect with a really big one; Make
it 20 pounds. If you happen to
hook, onto a„ real monster, even
this will be too light — but
don't spoil ,your sport by using
too heavy a tine,
Pike are temperamental about
what lures they'll take best at a
given time. Two or three good
lams will practically always -get
you as many as if you had a

t hundred. They go for shiny
spoons much more than do bass;
a spoon is best most of the time.
But, it doesn't seem to make too
much difference what type it is,
wobbling or spinning,—as long as
it is some standard one with
good action.
Invariably, I. think, you'll get
the most strikes from spoons by
using a perk rind on the hook.
I use a regular length, split-
tail bass strip'. But with this
arrangement, you may get short
strikes — the fish grabbing the
rind and ,.only running with it.
Still, there are times when a
plug will ',let more"than eg, spoon.

the most thrilling' to use for
them, when they'll take it well.
Where are the best spots to
look for pike? In spring, you'll
probably find most, pike pretty
well back in large,, dense weed
beds. Or, if you don't like fish-
ing in 'dense Weeds (I don't),
keep your boat outside, and cast
right to the edge-of the weeds.
Trolling just outside the edge
should do well too, especially if
there's a sharp drop-off there
to deep water.
In istiminer, Carolling farther
out in a similar place is a good
'bet: And always try well around
the ends of long, narrow points
of land — for some reason, they
seem to like such points. In some
places, especially in parts of
Canada, you'll find reefs well
Out in a lake — low, rocky sun-
ken islands. Trolling in deep
water around these is likely to
get you a strike.

most anywhere. I usually keep

to be about eight feet of water.

Don't Blame It All
On Communism
- It is always useful in a "time
Of troubles" like this to step
back and look around. The
temptation, when the Congo
erupts, when rioters storm Bel-
gian embassies, when students in
Asia stone offices, when
a young man in Havana over-
turns his country and tipseta a
hemisphere, to look at the path-
cu lar event.
What we should do is to real-
ize that none of these events is
isolated. The now' 'familiar quo-
tation from John Donne comes
to mind when a political leader
is murdered in a Congolese
loge and American Negroes Hot
at the United Nations in New
York. No man is an island and
the bell is tolling for all of us.
Another temptation to be re-
sisted is to think that the sound
we hear is ,H1St the usual dis-
cords coming out of Moscow and
Peiping. There is Probably no
more dangerous fallacy nowa-
days than to blame everything
011 comrelinism. But corninunism
takes advantage of the forces at
work everywhere in the modern
world to attack ter weaken the
West end to build up its own
