Bill Diggins of Brampton, Ontario, lent a pair of trousers to a friend. When they were returned with a large rip and no apology, Bill picked up a rock and fired it at his friend's car. In court "I I lost my said, head." 0 - 0 - 0 A Chicago cab driver complained that political convention delegates aren't the free spenders they're crack- ed up to be. He says "Those guys blew into town with one shirt and a 10-dollar bill. So far they haven't changed either." It may be the heat—but New York railroaders say a four-foot crocodile slithered out of a mail car. They coaxed it back into its crate which was addressed to the New York University. But university officials say they haven't received the reptile. They did get a 24-inch alligator. 0 - 0 . 0 Usually a city fights to keep a thriv- ing industry within the town limits. But the townsfolk of Mt. Clemens, Michigan, rose up as one man to get Gerald Schmitt to move his industry out of town—even though they had nothing against Schmitt, and his business was big and prosperous. Finally the city commission had to give in and tell Schmitt he'd have to give up his business or leave town. Schmitt moved. He does a thriving business with scientific laboratories and hospitals and he wasn't going to give it up. But you can understand how the citizens of Mt. Clemens felt about it. Schmitt raises mice. 0 - 0 . 0 The city of Dallas, Texas, faced a $28,000 lawsuit because of Joe Stalin and his girl friend Olga. A man charged that the pair was clawing and biting ihs 15-year-old son. Joe and Olga are Russian bears at the Marsalis Park Zoo. 0 - 0 - 0 The steel strike is causing havoc Li SE" 11.11PERTES COURTEOUS -.SERVICE . Indiana, where garbage collection is three weeks behind schedule. It seems thousands of steel workers have been athome for the past while because of the steel strike, And the mayor says they've been spending their time cleaning out basements and attics. He says: "They're throwing out everything from stuffed carrots to fringed surrey-tops." 0 - 0 . 0 The pioneers who conquered the wild country in South Dakota had humor as well as muscles. According to historians they chose place names with tongue in cheek. That's how it happens you hear of such names as Shirttail Gulch, Two- Bit Gulch and Holy Terror, in the black hills of South Dakota. Say the historians, "Shirttail Gulch got its name when an irate father, clad in long nightshirt, chased his daughter's noisy and over-eager suitor up the oanyon." They say prospectors named Two- bit Gulch because it yielded no more than two bits of gold a pan. And Holy Terror, according to the records, was named by a prospector in honour of his wife, 0 - 0 - 0 Most visitors to New York city gawk upward. But a Baltimore, Maryland, man got in trouble for looking down—with his mouth open. He reported to New York police re- cently that he'd lost his upper plate at 8th avenue and 33rd street. It had fallen way out of reach, through a sidewalk grating. Now in an emergency the police of the , city of New York are ready to answer the call of duty. They've recovered the man's choppers from the depth in which he lost them, and have informed him they're re- turning them to him by mail. So help me .THEY TELL ME IT'S TRUE!
