HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1959-12-17, Page 7Litterbugcjing In The Ocean. To a Channel swimmer, e lib- eral coating, of grease provides protection from the cold. But to a North Atlantic sea bird, a spot of grease or oil the size of a quarter means almost certain, death since it mats 'feathers and the thick insulating fluff under. neath, letting in the ocean's bit- ter cold. With the demise of coal -burn- ing ships, more and more oil has been pouring on these troubled, birds—oilers clean ; out their 'tanks at sea, burnt lubricants are clumpedoverboard, cargo. ships flush their fuel tanks when empty, The Labrador cur rent picks up the slick in nor- thern sea lanes and concentrates it •off Newfoundland•—a major wintering area for hundreds of thousands of eider decks, razor- , billed auks,` and thick -billed natures, In 1957. a thousand dead birds a day were washed up on a 90 -mile stretch of the New- foundland coast, and this year even more came ashore. The Gulf . current transports the lethal waste to the shores of Northern Europe which have been similarly littered, There is no way, of course, to count thuse that die at sea and sink. but few by comparison ever float ashore. "Litterbugging at its zenith" is the phrase John A, ,Livingston, executive director of the Audu- bon Society of Canada, used last month to describe oil dumping at sea. Livingston, in New York to attend the National Audubon Society's 55th annual convention. warned that commercial fisher- men on . the Atlantic, as well as bird lovers and beachgoers. have good reason for concern about this wholesale destruction of sc1 birds. The food chain of the sea from bird guano to plankton to fish to fish market could be severelydisrupted, he said, if the oil -slick problem is not solved. Prohibiting the dumping of oil and grease at sea is the ob- vious answer, according to Liv- ingston, but he acknowledged that a shipowner "is going to have to think rather highly of sea birds to take an extra day" in port when it costs up to $3,000 a day to keep a ship in port while its tanks are flushed. The practical answer, Living- ston added. probably lies in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by .Oil, a pact that has as many words in its title as mem- ber nations. Forty-two countr- ies attended the 1954 London conference, but only twelve have actually signed. The agree- ment 'prohibits oil dumping in coastal areas, and pact members hope to extend the prohibition to a . 300 -mile sweep east and south of Newfoundland. Even- tually, the signatories plan to outlaw all oil dumping at sea. But the pact binds only its mem- bers. The members include Canada and the United Kingdom, but not the U.S.-though the U.S. does put restrictions on its own shipping that are more stringent than those of the convention. But Livingston wants the active participation of the country he calls. "the cradle of public rela- tions" for the effect it would have on indifferent countries. "To put it quite frankly," he added, "the United States is a good name for our letterhead." Whether the North Atlantic's water -fowl population will reach a point of no return is anybody's guess; observed Livingston. However, he warned, "I have not yet heard of any species which could take this sort of thing in its stride."—From NEWSWEEK'. DRIVE CAREFULLY - The life you save may be your own. THE VOICE MEETS ROYALTY — Frank Sinatra Ghats with Princess Marie Cecile of Prussia at 'a benefit ball in Hollywood, The event was held to raise funds to plane .homeless children of Europe and "Asia in American homes. Buried Himself To Cctsh Insurance The get -rich -quick scheme was worth $10,000. That sum repre- sented the life insurance value of a lovely. twenty -four-year-old American mother, which , two plotters, one the beneficiary un- der nder the policy, hoped to collect, They laid their plans with diabolical cunning. Approaching a bridge near Idaho Falls, with her baby boy, Mrs. Roene Gas- ser had not the slightest inkling of danger until the ground sud- denly exploded violently be- neath her. Dynamite, fired electrically, lifted her car into the air, break- ing it into pieces. But, miracu- lously, she emerged from the wreckage With comparatively light injuries. And her baby boy was unscathed. The law pounced quickly on the two men, one a youngster of eighteen, whose fiendish plot had miscarried. Convicted of as- sault with intent to commit mur- der, each is now serving fourteen years' imprisonment. Unquestioned is the wisdom of taking out adequate insurance to cover all such risks as burg- lary, fire, accident, sudden death or disability in old age. But now and then, unscrupulous people attempt to exploit insurance companies wi-th remarkable cleverness. One international trickster, a Rumanian, eenceived the idea of bumping himself off in differ- ent countries and collecting the insurance on himself! At Youngstown, Pa„ he staged a roadside fatality, using an- ' other corpse as his own, He stuffed sone of his own identity papers, including a copy of his marriage certificate and a re- ceipt for payment of his last life policy premium, into the pockets of the victim, whose face was- badly disfigured. The swindler then disappear- ed. Who the real casualty 'was remains unknown to this day. Some investigators suspect that he may have been murdered. But everything subsequently worked out as the trickster planned, His wife, living with relatives in Belgium, was noti- fied of his "death." The Ameri- can company paid out the insur- ance claim, $5,000. But hardly had this. windfall descended on his wife than he ar- rived, representing himself as her long -lost brother and, with great gusto, proceeded to spend hisillicit gains. The highlight of this fraud came when, after insuring hint - sell even mare heavily, he re - LONG• DROP — Jack` Martin, 17, sits despondenit on a curbing after his car dropped from' the street above onto busy Rt. 25 in Dayton. He hod fallen out.'of the car when he reached to close a door. 1.12 we s not injured, turned to his homeland and, taking advantage of local flood- ing,, added his own name to the already long list of casualties. Then, with the local adminis- tratian at sixes and sevens, he disguised himself, and reported his own death! Subsequently, with a student accomplice, he proceeded to bury himself in that part of the local cemetery reserved for Seventh Day Ad- ventists! It was perfectly done. He drove the hearse with his coffin, a crude home-made affair, perch- ed an the floorboards, and calm- • ly, conducted his own burial ser- vice. But before his wife could collect the 50,000 Swiss francs suspicions were roused. The lo- cal police acted on an exhuma- tion order. Judge their amazement when, having dug up the coffin and pried it open, they pulled out the "corpse" a sackful of earth covered with a shroud of old newspapers. Far this cold-blood- ed fraud, the swindler was put away for eight years. Some firms set t h e i r faces hard against taking out Guar- anteed Fidelity insurances, This covers them against defrauding employees. They believe in the trusted employee; principle. Ninety-nine times out of a hun- dred, eudh Paitfh is abundantly justified. But exceptions arise. One appeared recently when a much respected man was ar- rested. Over the years, he had' worked himself into the position of his company's Secretary, giv- ing hint full. control of the ac- counts. And it wasn't until a ` director's interest was roused because of his rather frequent absences, due to "stomach trou- ble," that the books were ex- amined. Jit was discovered tha. t when he was supposed to be away, ill he was really at the races. Bet- ting on horses was his master. passion. To gratify . It, he was stealing from his employers at the rate of $45,000 a year. Not even his wife suspected this evil weakness . of his. His arrest came as a tremendous 'shock to her. She was even more shocked when she learned the size of his thefts. Insurance -men tell many good_ stories of narrowly averted cala- mities, Often a quirk of fate' can save their companies from meet-' .ing heavy claims. Such a situa- tion prevailed when, a few weeks ago, two dockers, unload- ing a banana ship at Southamp- ton picked up a snake, "Isn't she: a beauty?" said one, "let's take herr to the uni- versity." So the two men seized their prize and walked with it two miles to the university. The laboratory. assistant look- ed at their offering with horror,. "Lay it down very gently," he said. They did. He instantly clapped a glass case _over it, then told them it was a green mamba, one of the deadliest , snakes in the world. It wasn't dead but only drowsy. Luckily for them! Had. it been in the least lively, nei- ther lean would have walked More than a few yards. 'Damages awarded in •accident cases sometimes help the victim. to discover a 'new activity. With a capital sum, he can realize long -held dreams and start his own ' business. A beautiful girl., perfecting her a c tin g in repertory, toured America and won a TV contract in Hollywood. Stardom seemed within her grasp. Then, with dramatic finality, all her ambi- tions fell apart. The car she was in collided with a truck. [ler father was killeci. She was bad- ly disfigured. She received $0,000 damages .in the Court. but though "down" in a film and stage sense, she never sat down to mopeWith a new nese, and new eyelids --- further plastic surgery graftings may follow—she is determined to nialce the bast of things And today she is working in overall-:, running, with her mother, the family's garage business. • CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AGENTS WANTED EARN Cash, in your Spare Time.
