E:,,:ent in :ape spot An old fellow il:.uncii Rowlands, whose discovery had been responsible for ;;Laron; the gold -rush, still seemed to be doing vary nicely. He had sa!; eral Indians and Chi- nese an his pay -roll, and -every time the. stage -coach left Scotty's Creel!: for Ashcroft, a small town some twenty miles away, it car-- tied ar-ried some of Rowland's dust, The other prospectors scratch- ed their heads. It seemed dis- tinctly impossible that the only gold in Scotty's Creek could be eonfined within the limits of Rowland's own claim. Yet the evidence was there, plain and undeniable. Rowlands was lucky, that was all, they decided. But eventually two, more ob- servant than the rest, noticed a peculiar thing. Never did Row - land's hired hands find that gold which he so regularly dispatched tin the. stagecoach. Always he dug it himself, usually when his men were having a meal. After talking it over. Johnny Wilson and Doc English, the two prospectors, decided something fishy yas afoot, But what was Rowland's game? After all, there seemed no point in a man pre- tending to have discovered gold if he hadn't. And anyway, where did all that dust of his come from? But once their suspicions were aroused Johnny and Doc couldn't Ignore the matter. They watched Rowlands and his men carefully. held endless discussions, but still they made no progress. And all the while Rowlands was sending gold on that coach. Then Johnny - or it may have been Doc - recalled an incident which had occurred a few months earlier. A man named Bill Parker was driving an overland stage -coach. Under his seat was a box con- taining two gold bars worth about a thousand dollars each, and gold -dust to the value of thirteen thousand. He was taking this small fortune to the' Ash- croft Bank, All went well until he reached the bottom of Bridge Creek Hill, about fifty-five miles from his destination. There he was hailed by a clan, and Bill reined in his horses, He would welcome com- pany for the journey, - But his cheery welcome died on his lips. He gave a vicious curse. The man held a gun point- ed unwaveringly at Parker's heart, Bill hesitated for a mo- ment. then put his hands up. The had -up man nodded ap- provingly. He was elderly, Par - kyr' noticed, with ice-cold cyan. "Now;" he ordered, with a threatening stab rof the gun, "chuck 41)10 21 that box --•- then beat ill" Sullenly, Parker heaved at the heavy box and- threw it On the ground. ','hon, raging with anger, he drove. away' furiously, That teas the episode! which Johnny Wileon and Doe English recalled. They remembered 50105 - thing else ton, something equally significant. T 11 e stage coach driver had been able to give only a sketchy account of the hold-up man's appearance. All that he had noticed of importance was that his eyes :were as cold as ice and that he was elderly. And Rowlands, that most un- cannily lucky of prospet'tors, was an old man too. It was good enough for Wilson and. ]English. They were certain that Row- lands was the bandit, and that to avoid his sudden wealth arousing suspicion he was using this pe- culiar method 10 dispose of 'the stolen gold. But what could they du? Al- though convinced that they had solved the mystery they had no proof - and to take action on ruck uncertain grounds was dit- ficult. Eventually they took the only step possible. They went to the police: and to their relief the police agreed with their theory. They wasted no time: Row- lands was arrested and put on trial. IIe strongly protested his innocence, and the evidence was thin. Nevertheless. it was considered strong enough to convict Row- lands. I'Ie was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. He didn't serve anything like that period. Two years or so later he escaped, and was never traced. Neither was the gold he was al- leged to have stolen, apart from the dust he had sent to the bank. Many years later the box which had held the gold was found in a ravine, Scotty's Creek? No more dust was discovered there after Row- lands' arrest. It seemed obvious, therefore, that he had perpetrat- ed an extraordinary Hoax. A QUEEN - Not very Siamese - appearing is Queen Sirikit.

HEAR UNITED NATIONS DEBATE - The wives of six U.S. Air Force men shot down by the Soviets over the Barents Sea stand near the United Nations building in New York. They were attending Security Council debate on the incident. Hull -less seeded pumpkins may become a valuable crop of Canadian gardens and farms, federal agricultural scientists predict. New strains are now being de- veloped at the Morden, Ivlenito- ba, Experimental Farm. Hull -less seeds of pumpkins are tasty and nutritious as a confection and a source of ell for cooking. c a s Seeds of ordinary pumpkins have hard hulls that 'may be difficult to remove. Seeds of hull -less varieties are ready for use as soon as they are removed from the pumpkins. Oil content of hull -less pump- kin seed may be as high as 43 per cent. For this reason it is known as the "oelkurbis" (oil squash) in Austria, where it has been grown extensively for many years. The seed has serv- ed as a valuable food supple- ment during difficult economic periods and in times of War, The fleshy part of the pumpkins is useful primarily for livestock feed and fertilizer, The Austrian oellcurbis ma- tures late and is unsuitable for growing in short -season areas. * 4 At Morden, it was crossed with early - ripening, common varieties for developing suit- able hull -less strains. Some of these have compact, bushy plants that produce many fruits and many hull -less seeds in each. They are well suited to field production and may be adapted to mechanical, seed -harvesting methods. Seeds of these new strains being developed at Morden are not yet available for general distribution. In the face of increased de- mands for federally inspected meat and because of advanced technological changes taking place in the meat industry, the Canada Department of Agricul- ture organized a school for the officers of its meat inspection division. Twenty meat inspection as- aisstants from all parts of Ca- nada have just completed an in- tensive six-week training course at Keinptville, Ontario. Senior officials of the Health cf Animals Division supervised the course, assisted by profes- sors and associate professors 100)11 the Ontario Veterinary College at Guelph, representa- tives of the Food and Drug Di- rectorate, scientists from the federal Research Branch,. and research and development per- sonnel 'from industry. It was held at the new Kcnipt- ville Regional Veterinary La- boratory, operated as all exten- sion service by the 0.V.C. 4: 4. 4 Subjects under study: Bacteriology, anatomy, histo - 1 o g y, pathology, parasitology, toxicology, poultry diseases, the Canada Meat Inspection Act and its regulations, the act and re- gulations for humane slaughter of food animals, and the Food and Drug Act. Special attention was given to ante and post mortem veterin- ary examination of food ani- mals as well as plant sanitation. The lectures on diseases most commonly encountered in pack- ing plants were supported by use of specimens and the tech- niques of laboratory diagnosis. The course is designed to as- sure continuance of Canada's. recognized high level of effi- ciency in meat inspection opera- tions. It is the first to be held in Canada and its value is yet to be fully appraised by federal authorities. Shipments of rabies vaccine are being prepared by the Health of Animals Division, Ca- nada Department of Agriculture, for transport by government vessels to the Arctic. About 8,500 dogs are vaccin- ated annually in the Northwest Territories, The vaccine is distributed and administered by RCMP officers for use on their own dogs and as many native dogs as can be vaccinated. There is continued evidence that the current outbreak has markedly diminished. During April, May and June this year, 76 cases were report- ed. In the same period last year, there were 235 cases. 4 More skunks are being found rabies infected than in previ- ous seasons. From April 1 to June 30, rabies had been con- firmed in a total of 18 skunks - 15 in Ontario, two in Mani- toba, and one in Quebec. At the same time, the number of rabies infected foxes has de- creased considerably. In the same three months rabies was confirmed in only 14 foxes com- pared with 88 for the corms - pending period in 1959. ISSUE 34 - 1960 Big Head Finally Got Holes In It! In Saigon he was known be- hind his back as "Le Salaud" ("bum"), a knife -slinging racke- teer whom the French finally chased out. In Marseilles, where he ran a bistro for pimps and hot -gem thieves, he was known as "Cabudu" ("Big Head"). This reflected the impressive size of his hats, Big Head was born 48 years ago in Corsica and christened Jean -Thomas Giudicelli. But to his home town he was "Mon- a'''ur le Maire," an honorary- ab.entee title, reflecting his gen- erosity: He bought a new organ for the church and on every visit passed out 10,000 -franc notes to school children. With an income reckoned at $2,000 a day, Big Head lived in a $140,000 villa at Cap d'Antibes where to his millionaire neigh- bours he was known as "the man in the white Cadillac." To police, however he a:>as "Corsi- can Jahar•e*o •_. gland chief- tain whom they suspected of everything front throwing acid in the face of a chiseling pros- titute to complicity in the day- light robbery (at machine-gun point) of the Begum Khan's $700,000 worth of jewels in 1949. Big Head only laughed. A mil- lionaire among millionaires, he liked to sit on his terrace sip- ping a Scotch and soda and watching the sunset. He was doing just this one evening last month when a gunman crept up behind him and fired four shots into his back, and another into his head - for the coup de grace. Wailing relatives and taut- Iikped friends chartered a spe- cial plane to take Big Head back to Corsica for a lavish funeral. Yet police feared this was not the end of the story. There was an evil portent: A cousin was seen dipping his finger into Big Head's still -warm blood and raising it to his lips in the tra- ditional Crrsican gesture of ven- geance. The fears were justified. Two clays after Big Head's burial, Cap d'Antibes' soft night air was shattered by seven shots heard not far from Big Head's home. Police found no body, only pools of blood on the grass, and concluded that vengeance had been swift and sure. [M Y SOON „► SON 8) Rev 1t. 13:u'ula) 8/422021 8 .)... 8.1).
