A Blowtorch Helped
To Start Your Car !
When you start out in the fa-
mily car this weekend it would
be nice if you gave a momen-
tary thought to Harry B. Haines,
Writing to the editor of the ma-
gazine The Horseless Age just
about 60 years ago he gave his
instructions for starting his 41/2
horsepower "American carriage."
"Just move the rod back of
the seat up and down once or
twice. That is the auxiliary gaso-
line pump and forces enough
gasoline into the explosion cham-
ber to start with . . Then put
your spark and switch levers far
forward so as to start with a late
spark. Turn the needle valve
controlling supply of gasoline,
then turn on your lubricator.
Now press down on your relief
lever to let out the bad gas and
turn the starting crank once or
twice to get the motor going."
Simple, eh? When Ford came
along he put the "starting crank"
out in front, but for Mr. Haines'
car it was directly beneath the
seat, "always in position."
It was touch and go in Mr.
Haines' day whether to go •gaso-
line or steam. The Stanley Bro-
thers of Newton, Mass., almost
made America a nation of steam .
drivers.
One problem with steam was
getting up pressure. You could
buy the Turnei Pocket Gasoline
Torch whose flame according to
an advertisement "covers the
whole of the generating coil."
However that was optional with
the manufacturers of the Stan-
ley Steamer, They recommend-
ed "cotton waste and a side road
fire."
This combined well with pic-
nics. After the hot dogs and just
before putting out the fire you
would get at that old generat-
ing coil. However, a letter to
the editor signed Ernest Duval,
MD, of Chicago, Ill., made the
point that this is "impracticable
on a crowded street or even in
the country when the wind
blows hard." It really poised a
pretty problem.
In the gay, experimental
1900's, however, difficulties were
just made to be solved. Here is
how Mr. Duval handled it:
"When I want to fire up my
carriage all I have to do, no
matter if I am on a crowded
street or in my barn, is to hitch
up the generating tube on the
step, clasp the small blowtorch"
(i.e., the aforementioned Turner
Pocket Gasoline Torch) "under
it, and in less than a minute I
can insert the generating tube
in the burner and fire in the
usual way; take off the small
TRANQUILIZER — Knitted hood
for this ostrich keeps him calm
during the once every-nine-
months clipping at an ostrich
farm in South Africa.
blowtorch and put it in my
pocket or in the tool bag."
Mr. Duval continued —
"The advantage of this con-
trivance is that I have nothing
to hold in my hand or lay an
the ground; that it does not gen-
erate a flame that attracts at-
tention, and is not much affect-
ed by the wind,"
Personally I think I would
have been a blowtorch man in
1902 and I am almost persuaded
that I would have been a Stan-
ley Steamer owner, writes Ri-
chard L. Strout in the Christian.
Science Monitor. The brothers,
in 1902, had a new model, so
efficient that they claimed "the
average consumption of water
used in this carriage does not
exceed 40 pounds per hour and
as the water tank holds about
20 gallons a very large radius
of action is assured."
This introduces a new thought.
"Miles per gallon" in a steamer
as' like as not referred to the
mileage you could extract from
a gallon of water.
That was the day' when motor-
ists had a gay recklessness and
when the horse was the double
enemy -=-it shied, and it shed
nails.
Other enemies were state le-
gislators. Three bills were intro-
duced in Massachusetts that year

Shooting Dates
For Waterfowl
The Ontario bag and posses-
sion limits for ducks have been
reduced in the 1961 Migratory
Bird Regulations issued by the
Canadian Wildlife Service. The
lowering of limits is due to the
reduction in supply of ducks
from the Western Provinces,
where drought conditions have
seriously affected nesting success
and brood production.
The daily bag limit has been
reduced from six to five, and the
possession limit from twelve to
ten, exclusive of mergansers.
One canvasback or redhead duck
is being permitted as a "mistake"
bird, This allowance ties in with
an open letter to fish and game
clubs in the Prairie Provinces
and western Ontario, in which
Resources Minister Walter Dins-
dale asked that clubs help in-
form all hunters that canvas-
backs and redheads should not
be shot this year, in an effort to
retain an adequate breeding pop-
ulation,
The bag and possession limits
for wood duck have been in-
creased from one to two, The
bag limit for rails, coots and gals
Iinules has been reduced from
six to five and the possession
limit from 12 to ten,
Geese limits remain un-
changed at five and ten. The bag
and possession limits for snipe
and woodcock are also un-
changed at eight and 16.
Seasons will open one week la-
ter in the Southern District this
year. The dates for all species
are as follows:
September 15 to December 15
in the Northern. District; Sep-
tember 23 to December 15 in
the Central District; 12 noon Oc-
tober 7 to December 15 in the
Southern District; 12 noon Octo-
ber 7 to December 31 for geese
only in Essex County.
In the past, regulations have
stipulated that if a place was
baited with food attractive to
waterfowl during the open sea-
son or seven days prior to it,
the area within one-half mile
of that place would be closed
for the season. The Chief Game
Officer of the province can now
waive that regulation as far as
a public hunting area adminis-
tered by a province is concerned,
if any baiting reported outside
such an area would include the
public hunting area within the
one-half mile no hunting radius.
Calling All Scots —
Halfpennies Wanted !
Can the ancient hero k i n g,
who was inspired by a spider,
now inspire Scots to contribute
£50,000 to his memorial?
This sum is wanted to erect
an equestrian statue to King Ro-
bert the Bruce on the field of
Bannockburn where, 647 years
ago, he and his followers slaugh-
tered a 17,000-strong English
army,
In launching a world-wide ap-
peal for this cause, Lord Clyde,
the Lord Justice General of Scot-
land, is asking for "a bawbee
for Bruce."
Already, a promising trickle
has started, some of it coming
from patriots living as far west
as Vancouver and as far east
as Tokyo.
Lord Clyde calculates that
there are 25,000,000 Scots spread
over the globe today, If each
contributes a halfpenny the
£50,000 target will be reached.
The sculptor chosen to carve
the statue is Mr. C. D'O, Pilking-
ton Jackson, who was respons-
ible for the great National War
Memorial in Edinburgh Castle.
He plans to design a statue simi-
lar in scale to the Haig monu-
ment in Whitehall.
Ideally, the memorial should
stand on the field of Bannock-
burn, But the site of the battle,

Why Workers
Get' Nightmares
In George Orwell's nightmar-
ish. ,novel "1984," workers in a
totalitarian world were constants
ly reminded: "Big Brother is
watching you." In Milwaukee
last month, the 87 workers in the
punch-press department of Cut-
ler-Hammer, Inc., were convinc-
ed Orwell's nightmare was corn-
ing true.
"Big Brother," the workers
complained, was a new electronic
monitoring system, and his eyes
were glowing lights in a balcony
control room. For each punch
press, a green light would be on
when the machine was running;
a red light would glow when-
ever a machine stopped; and a
flashing red, activated by the
operator at his press, would in-
dicated mechanical trouble or
shortage of material.
"You look at this panel and
see your whole plant at work,"
rhapsodized Keith Main, a
spokesman for the device's mak-
er, Hancock Telecontrol Corp.
Main argued the system would
cut idle time and raise incen-
tive pay, put foremen at the
operators' "beck and call," and
give workers "quite a psychol-
ogical boost."
Psychologically, retorted Har-
old Lorenz, president of Lodge
1061 of the international Asso-
ciation of Machinists, "it's an
electronic spy system." Noting
the system can record each ma-
chine's output on graphs, the
union has given Cutler-Ham,-
mer, itself a maker of electrical
equipment and controls, a 21-
point demand for restrictions on
Big Brother's use. Among the
points:
Workers must get duplicates
of, the system's records of their
performance.
In any dispute over the re-
cords, the worker's ward must
be final.
Big Brother mustn't be used
for time studies or disciplinary
action.
Even with safeguards, it was
clear Big Brother would have an
uphill fight to popularity. As
one operator put it: "They can
keep watch on what you're doing
all day. A fellow's got to get up
and walk around, doesn't he?"
Big Brother will be there pa-
cing ydu!

Vatican At Last
Denies Local Rumors
The rumors started last Janu-
ary when workmen threw up a
scaffolding around the old Le-
onine Tower, which overlooks the
Vatican gardens. "The Pope's
building extra quarters for the
cardinals, since he's increased
their number so much," quipped
some observers. "Papa Giovanni's
adding extra rooms for all his
brothers," said others. A gloomy
minority was convinced that "Il
Papa is building himself a great
bomb shelter."
Actually, the ancient structure
— built in A.D. 848 to defend
the Pope from his enemies and
last used, until 1931, as an obser-
vatory — is being converted into
a quiet hideaway for Pope John.
Driving through the gardens with
his secretary last year, he waved
toward the tower and remarked:
"I'd like to come and live here."
Accordingly, the top three floors
of the six-story tower are being
made over into a private papal
apartment,
Official explanations, however,
have done little to dispel the ru-
mors. The soccer field near the
tower, said Romans, was obvious-
ly a heliport. And surely there
was to be a bomb shelter.
Wearily the other day a Vati-
can spokesman made — he hoped
— a final statement: "The Holy
Father does not need — nor does
he seek — a bomb shelter."

An Empty Pocket
Is Now An Asset
The , amount of money you
carry in your pocket or wallet
may be a significant indicator
not only of your comparative
wealth but your status as well.
If you have a lot of money,
reports show, you may keep very
little of it jingling in your
pockets. You have it out working
for you. But if you don't have
much, the likelihood is greater
that you. keep it close at hand,
where you can keep track of it.
Queen Elizabeth II, an exceed-
ingly wealthy woman in her own
right as well as the recipient of
a large government stipend,
never carries any cash. Even
when she goes shopping at Chris-
mastime, someone in her retinue
always pays for the purchases or
arranges for the bill to be sent.
That is a royal tradition.
In non-royal circles, too, the
wealthy men of England seem
to carry less coins on their per-
son the larger their bank bal-
ances. From time to time, men
like Charles Clore, the property
magnate, Paul Getty and Nubar
Gulbenkian, the oil millionaires,
and Charles Forte, a successful
caterer, reportedly have run
short of cash — like President
Kennedy at the candy shop —
and have to borrow a small
amount 'to pay for taxis, tele-
phones, or emergencies.
But most of these men have
learned through experience to
have a small amount of money
on their person, or to see that
their chauffeur has funds on
hand. After all, they themselves
did not get to the top of the
financial ladder by being short-
sighted about such matters.
Replacing money in the wallet
in England, as in the United
States, is the credit card. Such
cards •are not yet as profuse
there as on the other side of the
Atlantic. But many a rising
businessman in Britain now
f eels it essential to have a
charge account at a good hotel
or restaurant so he can sign
the bill rather than pay cash
when entertaining clients.
Contributiiig to the reduction
of cash carrying at lower levels
of society is the recent growth
of popularity of bank checking
accounts. Advertisements now
tell cash-and-carry George that
if he seems to be slighted by
the clerks' when he makes a pur-
chase, it is because John, no dif-
ferent otherwise and perhaps
poorer, carries a checkbook. Yes,
the empty pocket practically be-
comes an asset, according to
Henry S. Hayward in the Chris-
tian Science Monitor.
At the very depths, obviously,
are men such as myself who not
only carry cash — but carry
Small change in a coin purse.
Several feminine movie stars, I
have noted recently, when de-
scribing their ideal man have
complained they cannot toler-

purse. I know what they Mean,
all right; if he is careful about
his small change, what must he
be about the larger denomina-
tions?
But if they, in turn (or their
husbands) had developed holes
in their pockets by carrying
heavy British pence, 'florins, and
half crowns, perhaps they would
be more sympathetic with the
purse-bearing type, He is a thrifty
