The Seaforth News, 1961-02-23, Page 3ti Petty Criticislm Could ,Re Costly Bully for John Hay Whitneyl The retiring American ambas• Medoc to Britain, in a farewell ginner speech, unleashed a Mroadside at the "extraordinary ieture of a trigger-happy America" which many Britons /harbour, 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." Distorted caricatures of allies cut a cruel swath both ways BEAR FACED - Rosemary Fen- ton, 24, teams up in Paris with a toy animal representing a koala bear which is native of Australia. Rosemary's also a native of Australia. In fact, she's "Miss Australia." across the Atlantic. America and Britain must continue to be united against the common ene- my, international 'communism. It's time Whitehall and Wash- ington realize the folly of Mean- ingless bickering while Krem- lin agents are knocking at the Free World's gate. - Daily Sun (San Bernardino, Calif.) The idea of perpetual motion must have been solved,' How else can you account.for the fact old movies seem to run forever on television? 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,. the British, say, and that will decide whois smarter, Of gourse if Americans. read the result of tests 'conducted . by the American Assn. for Health, Physical- Education and Etecrea tion, they wouldn't dare tussle with the British, Even the British lassies beat.' American boys of the same age - 10 and 11 - in'"endurance fpr sustained activity." In "leg pow - Small British boys in light clothes play soccer in the rain, sloshing around in the mud. Altogether, there is much more emphasis here on physical education in the schools and. such outdoor activities. as camp- ing. 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. - So ya. wenna; make suinpin' of it, huhf 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." . How Can I? By Roberta Lee Q. ,How can I make a substi • tate maple syrup? A.
