Medoc to Britain, in a farewell
ginner speech, unleashed a
Mroadside at the "extraordinary
ieture of a trigger-happy
America" which many Britons

We're happy that "Jock" Whit-
saey had a nationwide British
audience for his ambassadorial
'valedictory. The pseudo concept
of the United States' desire to
'We force in the Laotian crisis
deserves to be destroyed. Cer-
tainly- nothing is further from
the truth.
Britain, • of course, seeks to re-
activate the International Con-
trol Commission as a solution to
theproblem in Laos. In short,
Britain has not supported the
American position in the tiny,
landlocked country,
Beyond the Laos question, Bri-
tons are miffed because the
United States' economic course
has steered clear of the Euro-
pean Free Trade Assn., prefer-
iirig to back the European Econo-
mic Community.
Let's keep the Anglo-American
friendship free of petty criticism.
- The erroneous portrayal of Uncle
Sam as a "warmonger" only
vexes some Americans to coun-
ter with "John Bull is an ap-
peaser."
And Americans would do well
to study seriously the editorial
comment of the Manchester
Guardian:
"Yogi have to convince the
enemy that you may intervene,
but at the same time, not fright-
en your friends."

British Boys And Girls, They Say,.
Tougher Than American Youngsters
By TOM A. OULLEN
Newspaper Eenterprise Assn.
London - American youths
are "soft" the British say. And
the British have the muscles, to
prove it.
Even some British girls, with
one hand tied behind their back,
presumably could lick American
',boys of comparable age and
size. And the girls have' the
figures (mathematical) to prove
ft.
To put it simply, the Ameri-
can lads flopped in a, recent
series of fitness tests given to
X0,000 on both sides of the At-
lantic. It also indicated that
the Scotch and Welsh, who took
part in 'the test, are tougher
than the Americans.
To add insult to enjury, the
London Sunday Times says that;
the average 14 -year-old British
schoolboy can write a better es-
wer," the lassies from 10 to 13
outscored American boys of the
same age,
The British boys were ahead
in six out of seven contests;
the Americans only proved su-
perior in arm power because
they 'did more bait' "throwing
than the British. On an ;average,
the British lads were' 14 per
cent fitter.
Britishers interviewed claim
America's affluent society weak-
ens the American youngsters.
While children in Britain gen-
erally walk or pedal bikes to
school, American high school
students too often are driven
or drive their own cars,
An American mother probably
would be horrified at the sight
of school girls with, dripping hair
after a swim in a public bath go-
ing out into, the cold. It is com-
monplace here. •
AT LEAST a few American boys are trying to, stay fit.
say than the American college
The' newspaper also claims
that it is possible for an Ameri-
can to go through four years'
of high, school ' without ever
writing an original -English com-
position.
Contrast this with the young-
sters in Nottingham who claim
they are fed up with TV and•
beg for more homework, head-
master Walter Bond says in the
Times.
And if the American young-
sters want to make something
of it, let 'em put up their dukes,.

Most British children like to
get out into the country even
if they livein town," says Dr.
Dalzell Ward, medical director
of the Central Council for Health
Education.
"BLit in the U.S., even young
peopledrive cars and a coun-
try walk would probably seem
a bit odd to many of them."
Dr, Ward says a British com-
mittee was set up in 1904 to
examine the "physical 'deteriora-
tion of the nation" while "it is
only in recent years that the
Americans have gotten around,
to talking about this. That could
mean we have a 50 -year lead" in
physical fitness. -

Rats Flee From
Ultrasonic Waves
Ultrasonic Waves broadcast by
an ingenious new device are the
latest method of banishing rats
from large ofliee and factory
buildings' in the U.S.A.
The device sends out vibra-
tions at a frequency heard only
by rats and mice. The sound is
so nerve -shattering that the rats,
which often infest buildings in
large numbers, flee and during
flight they can be poisoned.
Cats , and other pets in the
buildings are completely unaf-
fected by the ultrasonic waves.
Different countries have dif-
ferent ways of dealing with the
ever-present menace of , rats,
• At London's Law Courts rats
once forced their way through
a bookcase into the dignified at-
mosphere of a Chancery Court;
eating a path through thick law
books. A professional rat catcher
was engaged to keep them down.
During an earlier plague of
rats at the Law Courts forty cats.
were kept there to deal ..with the
invaders. Theserats were so ra-
venous that they ate the parch-
ment tabs off the lawyers'
gowns so that the owners could
not identify them.
Thousands of rats, migrating
from Siberia, swept through
northern Mongolia • and western
Manchuria thirty years ago, even
attacking human beings.
He Was A ' Happy
Millionaire!
At 28, Alfred Carlton Gilbert
had already accomplished more
than most men achieve in a life-
time. Frail as a child, he had
punished mind and body to be-
come Yale's outstanding all-
around athlete, an Olympic pole-
vault champion, and expert hun-
ter, an accomplished physical
culturist, a top scholar with a
medical degree •(although he
never practiced), a sleight-of-
hand artist, and a successful
manufacturer and retailer of
magic gadgets.
Then, in 1912, while riding
home on the railroad one day,
he watched fascinated while a
crew of workmen constructed a
network of steel girders into a
high-tension tower. From that'
fascination sprang the idea for
the Erector Set - a collection
of miniature wheels and girders
from which a boy could build
almost anything. The sets had a
universal appeal (the designer
of the World War II Bailey
Bridge used one for his original
model) and supplied a solid un-
derpinning for the A. C. Gilbert
Co. The company has sold more
than 10 million sets, last year
grossed about $13 million on
everything from electric trains
to "atomic energy" labs.
Gilbert himself became one of
the happiest millionaires, en-
titled his autobiography "The ,
Man Who Lives in Paradise."
Still active' as chairman when he
died in 'Boston' last month, Gil-
bert, 78, had already written a
suitable epitaph: "I've never
worked at anything that wasn't
fun. If I had my life to live over
I don't think I'd change it. Ex-
cept maybe to take up mountain
climbing." .
