HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1959-03-12, Page 7mall Investment Biy Pay-Offl ,Like millions 'a.( other Britons, ,Tim Gault and his cousin, Bill' Stranaghan, had often indulged in luxurious day dreams about getting rich quick on the "foot- ball pools", the legalized week. ly 'iottery on national soccer re. saints. Every week for the past two seasons, Gault, 53, a laborer from Glengormly, Northern Ireland and the partially blind. Strati.. eghan, 68, had scraped up 5 shillings (70 cents) between them for a chance in one of the pools, They never won. One week last month, on a hunch, they bought a 9 -shilling ($1,20) ticket, filled out their predictions for Sunday's games as usual, and mailed in the list, Gault was in bhe kitchen of his pre -fab cottage one evening recently, 'peeling potatoes for dinner (his wife, Mary, was in. New Zealand visiting an ailing brother), when pool officials drove up. Solemnly, they in- formed him that he and his cousin had just won the biggest jackpot in pool history. The winnings on the $1,26 bet: £300,684 ($841,915,20) — com- pletely tax-free, Next morning, Gault telephom• ed his boss ("Says I: 'You'll have to get yourself a, new man' "), then flew to London to pick uphis check. "I'm going to buy a three or four -room bun- galow," he told reporters after enjoying his first London meal at a Mayfair hotel (lamb chops, fruit salad, Irish whisky, •and ,a cigar). "The rest depends on. Mary." Back in Giengormly, Stran- stghan was even more phleg- matic. "I'm not bothered about the money," he said. "All 1 want is my sight back , • • and to go on walking my dog at 5 o'clock In the morning." • From a frame(] inscription on the wall of his kitchen, Stranaghan proudly quoted his philosophy: - Ain't this world a funny place? Andyet it's hard to beat; , With every rose you get a thorn, But ain't the roses sweet?,: Hit -And -Run Jimmy Dykes, One of baseball's elder statesmen now and still active on the coaching lne, this coming season for Phila- delphia, tells this one about the time when he was managing the Chicago White Sox: "Luke Appling was a great hit-and-run hitter but very often he came up with Taffy Wright on first base: Taffy had his vir- tues, but getting the hit-and-run sign was not one of them. Final- ly in desperation I called Appling and Wright together one day and told them to work out their own sign. It was agreed that Wright would decide on the, signal and • Taffy asked us to let him think about it over night. The next day we met'near home plate. ' 'OK, Taffy,' Appling said to Wright. 'What's the signal?' "Taffy looked Appling right in the eye as he replied: 'When I run, you hit.' " "Why the string round your finger?" "My wife put it there so I'd !remember to post a letter." "Did you post it?" "No — she forgot to give it to sue." RI` ARTILLERY BETTER WITH A BAT — Duke Snyder, above, is more lethal with a bat than he is witha six-shooter. Dodgers' heavy - hitting Duke played a bad guy, left, in a recent giddap opera for the home screen. She's A Champion Lady Beekeeper Looking after 15 million bees and five children is all in a day's work for Mrs. Lucy Deschamps of Duvernay, near Montreal, who is the wife of a Canadian champion beekeeper. When Ger. and Deschamps won the Cana- dian Beekeeper's Council Trophy for the best exhibit of liquid honey at the Royal Winter Fair, in November, he gave equal credit for his success to Lucy. In 1947, when Lucy married Gerard, an air force veteran, she had no idea that some day she would be "mothering" champ. ionship bees. In fact, she Was terrified of bees. Today, she is an expert handler.. Lucy says that it took her aboutone year to become accustomed to the bees. As to being. stung — "it's inthe• game!" she says cheer- fully. Conquering the fear of bees is' the first and most im- portant step in the life of a bee handler. Bees, like a great many other animals, seem instinctively to sensefear intheir handlers. The Deschamps have three hundred hives spread over five. different locations within , a radius of five miles from their home. The hives, are placed where the best clover crops aro found. Last summer, the Des- champs even took some of their hives to the , Lake St, John district for 15 days •to take ad- vantage of an excellent clover crop in that district. Producing and packaging championship honey means that Lucy Deschamps has a heavy schedule each day. Rising at 6:30, she gets her five sons, ages two to 10, ready for the day (three of them go to school), and then prepares to go .out to the hives. Her husband, who works until 2:30 a.m. at the 'post office, doesn't get up until nine. When he is ready they drive out, work and collect honey until mid- afternoon. Lucy has a young girl who stays with the two younger children during the day while she's away. However, three mornings a STRAINING FOR RECORD - His face contorted with effort, Don llrogg clears the bar for a • new world indoor pole vaulting record, 15 feet, nine -and -a -half inches. Bragg, former Uni- versity of Villanova vaulter, eclipsed previous marks during es charity meet: week during spring and summer,t Lucy follows a different pattern.. She leaves the house early- and. drives a pick-up truck to the Jean Talon market in Montreal. She has had her own stall there for several years and has many steady customers for the Des- champs honey. In winter she makes the trip to market only on Saturdays. During the afternoon and even ings, Lucy works in thesmall workshop attached to their house where the honey is processed and. .the, combs prepared and pack- aged. While some of the honey is. , extracted from the combs, filter- ed through a special nylon mesh,. and sold as liquid honey, the ma- jority of the Deschamps honey is sold in combs which are indit'i- dually packaged in tiny bags of cellulose film.. These smallcombs are cut with a multiple cutter. Lucy then uses specially -design- ed machinery to insert the combs into their bags before putting the candy -bar sized portions into at- tractive, individual boxes. Collecting, processing a n d packagng the honey crop, look- ing after her sons and keeping house make Luoyy Deschamps an extremely busy woman. .How- ever, she's at her happiest when working alongside her husband and the cheerful, relaxed atmos- phere of the Deschamps house- hold' gives ample evidence that being "busy ad 'a bee" is good for you! Paint— Your — Own —And Save The spring bride may find it hard to furnish a "dream" home on a down -to earth budget. How- ever, there are ways of stretching money for furnishings. One wee is to buy unpainted furniture and to finish it at home. Finishing furniture is not dif- ficult — just a matter of using the right product and 'following directions to the letter. A good basic rule is this: Never apply a finish to a surface that is not thoroughly clean and dry: Sand with fine 'sandpaper and dust off with a turpentine -dampened cloth before ever toughing a paint brush. Natural wood colors play an important role in modern decor- ating schemes. The attractive grain of good wood can be en- hanced and, at the same time, protected by 'a clear- varnish. Certain open -grained woods sueh as oak, walnut or mahogany will need a wood filler before varn- ishing while close -grained woods hike pine or maple are all ready for the finishing job. New wood usually needs at least two coats of varnish and each coat must be thoroughly dry before starting the next. It is also a good idea to sand lightly between the coats. A special satin varnish, applied as the final coat, will give the furniturea lovely sheen. How - aver, those of the "elbow -grease" school prefer rubbing down the ordinary varnish with powdered pumice and water. Polished with a coat of liquid polish orhard wax, the finished wood will have a "mellow" look that's strictly professional, In some woods, the natural color is not as attractive as it might be. If that is the case, give it a coat of wood stainbe- fore varnishing. There are many stain colors on the market. A final coat of clear varnish applied over a stain gives a hard-wearing finish that resists' moisture. A child's persistent sniffing annoyed a woman standing next to him. "Young man," she said, "have you got a handkerchief?" "Yes,"replied the youngster, "but my mother won't let me lend it to anybody," ISSUE l0— 1959 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AGENTS Farm Machinery Agency SHOWING GOOD NET RETURN SELLING every kind of farm machin- ery, trucks and tractors, Well estab- lished in territory, doing over $400,000: can be Increased to $800,000 per year.
