Fuel consumption .'620 tons per day. Passenger capacity 2,025. �Caf the total cost of $87 million, only $30 million -goes to the shipyard, whilst $57 million is paid to the 1,000 firms who supplied the etceteras. These comprise '$300,00 for a computer; 1 1/2 million for the.alUminum superstruc. tore; 1 1/2 million for the electrical equipment; 2 1/4 million for air-conditioning and for the tow six.bladed 32 ton-eadh propellors $153,600. Every cabin. has a private toilet and bath or' shower. With a full ship only 178 passengers will have to sleep in upper berths. There are drive-4ny and off facilities. for 80 cars. The steering gear is la Hastie's. Almost every new ship, spedification details Hastie gear or equivalent; but Hastie's say: "There is no equivalent,," and make a profit of $6 million per annum ,of which 80 per cent is in foreign currency. "Every order is a cup final against a different team - Japan, Germany, wherever it is", says Hastie's manager. 4Stone and Company of Greenwich, who cast the propellors for the Queen Mary etc find Japanese competition hard. They say the Japs refuse to guarantee 'the speed of the 'new ship unless Jap propellors are used. Around 1939 the French Line refused Stone's prppellors and cast them to' French Admiralty specification. They lasted one voyage from Le Havre to -New York, after which. cavitation had weakened them, Only then did they come to Stone, cap in hand! * '* * * MOTELS - It was one of those Motels in which the flies are rationed at the rate of one per room! , BLUNT CRITICISM. - Canadian born John Kenneth Galbraith has written another book - The New Industrial State. Two economists have reiriewed it. One .says: "'Where he was right he was not original and where he was original h°.was wrong ..• It is a work of egregious ignorance." Such outspoken criticism brings to mind the words used by Clifford, a British scientist who died in 1879. He said of an author" "He is writing a book -•., and is really cut out for it. The clearness with which he thinks he understands things and his total inability to express what he knows will make his fortune as a philosopher," THE LORD PRIVY SEAL - The 'New Statesman' says of the new incurrtbent of this British Cabinet post that M. Longford, "Often' presented as a bumbling ass . _, is in fact an extremely clever man." At least he disproves the hoary myth regarding this office, that whatever he is, he is neither a Lord, nor a privy, nor a seal. GOLDFISH ECONOMICS - Few people ' would imagine that the gentle hobby of keeping goldfish presented any vast financial hazard, but they rush in where angels fear to tread. Here is how it works out in dollars and cents: Cost of tank say $25. Cost of pump for, aeration purposes, $30. Cost of Natural Goldfish food $.3,10 per pound. And the soft sell to trap .the "unsuspecting: Cost of 'one goldfish 35 cents. How long before the government labels the tins of flood to warn the unwary? PLACE NAMES - There is a United Nations Commission on the Standardization of geographic names and they are having a very tough time. Take the name of the capital pi Russia. It is spelt Moskova - Moskau - Mosca - Mescu - Moscou - Moscow. Or even Lisbon which appears as Lisboa - Lessabon - Li- Lisbonne. The Commission has unearthed 78 Mud Lakes t� date and has to grapple with 30 languages in Kenya alone with a further 30 in India, In the preface to -Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom," the publisher gives some of his questions and the author's answers.

" Centennial Caping Sciturdav Afternoon At The Did you ever go to the Theatre on Saturday afternoon? Well, there's a 'first .time for every- thing, and this was quite an ex. perience, - Believing that the main feature - as well as some specials for the 'Kiddies, was to be shown, on a .sudden im. pulse, I towered -r for once - in the lineup, and was swept along with the little people to the ticket wicket. Only half price today? I couldn't believe it, but it was one price for all, so I thought that was a good idea. Choosing a seat, took some thought. Q.Should 'I ,,sit on the aisle for a quick get=away, 9or sit in the . centre so the kids 'could move freely in and out without bothering me? I chose the seat .on the aisle. After bobbing up and down a few dozen' times, •letting the. rest- less ones pass, I decided to sit still and let them get in and out the best way they could. Well, now that is a great trick, and they're good at it! You sit well back, tuck your feet under, out of the. way, - and hope for the best: If they WALKED out ,they could slide. by without any trouble, .but no, they must jump over, or step over you - and you meet the nicest 'LAPLANDERS' that way! After deciding I'd stay for a while longer - the color and; movement and sound "got to me" and I began to enjoy my new experience. I' was quite taken with one red headed "Road Runner" who was making a complete circle of the Theatre - and making pretty good time Another, who caught my eye, was a cute little girl, in tight slacks which had Iwo or three large frills below . the knees, who looked like a wee Spanish dancer as she swished up and down" the aisle - about :. dozen times! For some reason unknown to ,e,e, everyone seemed to be play ng ng . musical chairs, using the front three or four rows an thevery back row. of seats. Those in between would burst -, forth ana try to out rust the other fellow. - The pent up exciteinent, ex. ploding just beforepict'urtime, 'A5 gave: me, the Impression that knew the exact moment at which to scream and whistle. After the first shock wave had passed over, 1 took my fingers out of my ears and real. ized the music had changed, slowly the curtains were pulled ,. aside and Captain ktdcl was about to appear. Shall I go on? My blood press • sure is going up just recalling these moments! Well! Captain Kidd was really ,exciting, and something I had never experienced - or had forgotten. Just as the hero is knocked down and locked in the blazing hold of the ship - it is to'obe continued next week! I don't. think I can stand it! The next picture must have been . made in Germany ( my .guess) - as the English was all dubbed in and the speeches did not always matchup,'but I'm sure no one else noticed, It was a nice old fairy tale - but who wants fairy tales these days? Just as the running, up' and down was about to start again, `a wicked red headed,' red bearded, dwarf appeared, and some interest was shown in the film,When the bad guy would fall in the well or ,over the cliff, thecheering would soon tell you the majority were pay- ing attention to what was going on: something good was about to happen. -- After the seat chang. ing had gone on for about the longest five minutes of my life, there was a sudden exodus to. wards the rear of the theatre, and I found myself hoping it • would be right through the front doors! But in a short time they came streaming back with pop. corn and "stuff"." I guessed they all had two dimes to spend or this was the group who couldn't make the first line-up for goodies. 9 ley now the tempowasbecom• ing louder, andI suddenly under, stood why the ticket taker had said, "You. may not be able to hear, very well, I have to take the tickets today". No one was shushing them and they were having . a ball. I didn't mind it one bit, as I hoped their energy would be spent by the time the picture started. I khew records werebeingplay- ed, and at every break' or change, I hoped the' curtains would be pulled 'and' the show would start. But no, I'm sure every child in that theatre must have had a watch, because there was- no let-up in the noise and the trotting hip and down continued. Suddenly a terrific screaming rent the air. 'Tho the kids were still not in their seats, they Ask for this booklet. It tells how you may obtain an IDB loan to 'help start, modernize -or expand your business. • • •, hilts, Waiter. After the' third fairy story -� Europe's version of "The Big Bad Wolf" -� I didn't have the nerve to walk out alone, since I now realized the 'adult enter- tainment' was for the evening! So I sat it out, and hoped people would think some bf those little gremlins were mine when we burst out onto the street: - 1 haven't been to a movie in months, but next time I get the great urge, 1 will read the ads or think twice before paying half price. , Just for kicks why don't YOU try it sometime?
