Beyond the athletic magnificence of
the British 'Empire Gaines of -maxed by
the greatest mile .race in history, there
glittered ail the greatness and the solid-
arity of the Empire itself. Fundamen-
tally, this was an Otymple Games among
friends, and the example of sportsman-
ship is something I very much doubt the Olympics could
match, with or without Russia.
Quite apart from record performances was the imposing
array of nationalities within the Empire that posted vic-
tories or scored points, England, Jamaica, Scotland, Pak-
istan, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Uganda 'flong Kong,
Northern Ireland, Trinidad, Nigeria, New Zealand were
all on the list, which reminds you that the British Empire
and Commonwealth, despite economic ups and downs in
these troubled times, is still quite an institution.
And it made you feel proud of the sport tradition of
this great Empire that with millions looking on, two runners,
Bannister and Landy put on a miracle display of speed and
stamina. They might have loafed along, outside the 4 -min-
ute area, and still have won. But with literally the eyes
of the world upon them, Landy disdained to withdraw be-
cause of a 4 -stitch cut in one foot kept the injury secret
lest it might be thought he was establishing an alibi, And
so, they put on a magnificent display of speed, courage,
and class, the greatest cinder -path battle in world history.
These Games provided an added thrill to any thinking
Biltisher, because Britain' is the cradle of sports, and can
boast that it was the original developer of more strictly
international modern sports than any other nation.
In the list we may include boxing soccer, football,
cricket, rugby, track and field, polo, thoroughbred horse
racing, tennis and golf.
And the thought came to us that if the. far-flung Empire
and Commonwealth countries could enter the Olympic
Games as a unit, instead.of 25 or so separate countries as of
today, it would be a major threat to the United States'
continued Olympic supremacy.

INVITING
If you're driving your car
through Texas (and your wife
isn't with you, of course) look
for a place called Comfort. It's
a town just an hour's ride from.
San Antonio. On either side of
this town are two villages nam-
ed Alice •and Louise. Outside
an auto camp is this inviting
plea, "Why not sleep in com-
fort between Alice and Louise?"
BRING HOME THE BACON --Joseph Lengauer's 300 -pound pig
gave birth to a record litter of 21 pigs on his Seeshaupt, Ger-
many, farm. Two were not strong enough to survive the first
ethical weeks, and two others died under their mother's weight.
AND iT'S ALL 14 LONGHAND—Pfc. William DiSilvestro, stationed
in Osaka, Japan, is all wrapped up in this stateside communique.
The letter, sent to him by his girl friend, Anne Fiore, measures
35 feet, 7 inches long, and 18 inches wide. It supposedly took
the young lady two ar three months to complete the letter.

Casual visitors to the res-
taurant "Schuetzenhof" in Bonn,
West Germany, sometimes get
the shock of their lite when a
boar comes dashing into the
dining -room.
However, in spite of its
threatening appearance the 200 -
lb. animal does not attack any-
body. Humble and dog -like, it
begs for tidbits, and quickly the
horror of the people changes
to laughter.
It was just two years ago that
a hunter presented Matthias
Schulmeister, proprietor of the
restaurant, with "Fritzi," a
young wild boar. The name
"boar" stuck, but Fritzi is actu-
ally a sow.
Matthias nursed the young
lady with loving care and pa-
tience. Now she is quite tame
and perfectly mannered. As
soon as he whistles for her, up
she rushes to her master, greet-
ing him affectionately.
"Fritzi simply adores cake and
chocolate, the sweeter the bet-
ter," explains Herr Mathes. "On
the whole, her taste is some-
what out of the ordinary. The
other day, some skittle players
In high spirits offered her a
bucket full of beer, and Fritzi
neatly finished it off in no time."
Fritzi likes to pay regular
visits to the nearby bus stop.
Knowing precisely when the
busses arrive and depart, she
manages to put in an appear-
ance dead on time, ill order to
accept peanuts and other dain-
ties from the passengers.
Friends of this outsize lady
sometimes worry about what
will happen to her later on,
They are reassured by Matthias:
"Fritzi is faithful like a dog. I
love her, and I shall never have
her slaughtered," he emphasises.
Odd Reasons F5$ Ir
Ruined Romances
Which would you prefer --- a
life of luxury or regular meals
of fish and chips? An English girl
chose the latter.
She was engaged to a South
American millionaire, but on
hearing that no one in his coun-
try could cook her favourite dish
she turned him down.
Differing tastes in food have
broken up many an engagement.
Three days before their wedding,
Raymond Fritsch, of L i Ile ,
France, jilted Danielle Carter.
They would never be happy, he
decided, because she couldn't
prepare his favourite dish of
pickled calf's head,
' When a man fails to pay suf-
ficient attention to his girl 'it's
not surprising that she throws
him over. One has every sym-
pathy with the Yorkshire lass
who refused to marry the young
man who'd been courting her for
several months. He made her
sit on a wooden chair all even-
ing, so as not to disturb his dog
which was lying on the only
comfortable seat.
Surprisingly, a man can con-
sider his flancee's tastes too
much. An aircraftman was jilted
by a girl who said he was too
silly for hex', as he did every
thing she told him.
A French student made the
same mistake. To please his
sweetheart he spent a year walk-
ing from France to India. On his
return he found she had mar-
ried someone not quite so oblig-
ing.
Sometimes, of course, it's 'the
person who imposes the condi-
tions of marriage who is left on
the shelf. There's a girl in Brit-
ish Columbia who is regretting
that she ever tried to test her
fiancee. Engaged to a wealthy
young man, she doubted if he
could survive if forced to fend
for himself. So she promised to
marry him only if he managed
to exist for a month in a but in
a pine forest, eight miles from
the nearest house.
For thirty days he did so, eat-
ing fish and game caught by him-
self. Then he returned to the
girl with the startling announce•
ment that, having grown used
to life on his own, he'd decided
he'd prefer to remain a bachelor 1
If a man begins to lose his
hair he's just as likely to lose
his girl friend, or so a Wrexham
man alleges. When he went bald
he was left in the cold.
Yet few girls care for a man
who is over -fastidious about his
appearance. Of her ex -fiancee,
a Swiss girl declared: "He was
very attractive, but he spent
mor e time making himself
ready for a party than I did."
A mistimed joke has cost at
least one young man his bride.
A young couple called on a Cal-
ifornian court to inquire about
a marriage licence. Said an of-
ficial in fun, "It'll cost you
a hundred dollars."
In the same vein, the bride-
groom -to -be retorted, "What? It
isn't worth iti"
His prospective bride's sense
of humour wasn't equal to his.
Taking him seriously, she walk-
ed out on him fen ever.
Not every girl who jilts a man
is to be censured. A Lancashire
girl went to join her fiancee in
South Africa. Three months lat-
er she returned home. She had
lost too much weight through
worrying about the family she'd
left behind her.
And you can't blame the Rev.
George Harvest's two fiancees
for breaking their engagements
to him. He was an absent-mind-
ed clergyman who lived in
eighteen -century Oxford.
Twice he forgot to turn up at
the church, and neither lady was
willing to forgive.
Extreme meanness on the part
of one prospective bridegroom
led to his wedding being can-
celled. The couple found a flat
and then the girl thought about
her bridal outfit. "I want you to
have a train fifty-six yards long,"
he said.
Surprised, she inquired wily
and was told that was the exact
amount they'd need for curtains.
Women in Trance
While Shopping
Nearly every housevrife goes
into a trance while shopping
for the family groceries, a social
psychologist in New York says.
As a result, she sometimes
makes hash of the family food
budget.
It seems the big, attractive
stores cast a spell over shop-
pers, according to psychologist
James Vicary. The moment they
set foot in one of these food
palaces ar "supermarkets,"
housewives go glassy -eyed. Nor
do they snap out of it until they
are on their way home, loaded
3vith many more items than
they had meant to buy.
When Vicary noted that
people in stores stared vacantly
as they examined the produce,
he decided to look into the mat-
ter further.
Armed with notebook and
stopwatch, hd studied the shop-
pers' eyes and they way they
blinked their lids. His figures
showed that people about to
enter supermarkets normally
blinked their eyes at an average
rate of 32 times a minute.
The instant they got among
