The Real Word
It is worth noting that what
the National Safety Council said
was likely to be the safest
Christmas holiday since 1949
produced 488 highway deaths.
Thus does the word "safest" be-
come stretched to the limit of
elasticity:
A more sensitive if less real-
istic view cif the matter might
be that, in theory at least, all
accidents are preventable, The
toll at Christmas, while merely
a continuation of a year round
process, cannot be condoned, Nor
can we afford the mildly con-
gratulatory tone that says a holi-
day week end is the "safest" be-
cause fewer than a half -thou-
sand people were killed,
It is a question whether the
National Safety Council's holi-
day practice of projecting total
deaths serves any useful purpose
except the setting up of ancon -
scions targets. 'For if a holiday
Week end that produces 450
deaths can be considered com-
paratively safe, then we have
taken the first step toward offi-
cial acknowledgement that a
half -thousand deaths is par for
the holiday course and can he
accepted, if not with equanimity,
at least without undue hdrror.
The point is, however, that
we have no moral right to list
even one death on the highway
as an acceptable. norm. Every
enc of the 488 and mere killed
over the last week end is dead
prematurely, and most of them
quite avoidably. Perhaps if we
set less store by slogans and
targets as to what is safe, and
more by fix -proof enforcement
of motor -vehicle laws, our week
ends the year round might be a
little less lethal than they are.
Hartford Courant,
Lucky Fish
Record crowds have been
Hocking to the fried fish shop
at Mr. Masaki Kunieda, in Na-
goya, Central. Japan. Reason? A
MO spent ten -yen (twopence)
foe a piece of fish, took a bite
and found a 5,000 -yen (£5)
note inside.
He took the note and the fish
back to the shop. But the shop-
keeper would not take it, "I've
sold you the fish — note and .
all," he said, ignoring the possi-
bility that the note might have
pallen out of his apron pocket
while he was frying.
But his generosity was soon
xewarded, o News of the event
egread, with the result that his
stoop was besieged by people
w9oo hoped for more "money
flab."
One of the best scalers for all
(species of fish is a small wire
tteush, the type used far scraping
toff old paint, etc. Such a brush
requires little effort and removes
the scales in a hurry. Saves a
lot of time and trouble.

Ilecists Slaughtered
For Souvenirs
The law of the jungle is. that
only the strongest survive. 'It is
a law'that, unfortunately, is not
entirely confined .to the jungle.
Currently, tourist demands for
Eskimo ivory carvings are creat-
ing the biggest slaughter of ;wal-
ruses by man ever known in
-Pacific waters.
Walrus tusks provide a valu-
able income for the local Eski-
mos - they provide the 'raw
material for their carving'skills
and,' consequently, a good, live-
lihood.
Eskimos either sell the ivory
to non-native carvers or they
carve' it themselves, 'producing
appealing models of Eskimo
babies, caribou and, ironically,
walruses, Well -carved ivories
fetch up to $100 a pound.
In the rush to keep pace with
the demand for such souvenirs
the'Eskimos are showing a com-
plete disregard for humane
slatightering methods, and. for'
their own future.
They concentrate on -"head
hunting" forays, seeking walrus
tusks ,exclusively. The carcasses
or their victims are left to rot
on shores or ice floes. Worse
still, from the walrus preserva-
tion viewpoint, they prefer to
hunt female walruses — female
ivory is better for carving.
For months past, Eskimos in-
habiting tiny islands in the Ber-
ing Sea have lived on walruses.
The hunters, serving four main
villages, reckon to catch about
11,000 walruses a year. Burt it is
feared that through their uncon-
trolled hunting fervour and pur-
suit of females only, they fatally
wound and waste the carcasses
of thousands llrore. If the wal-
rus, as is feared, disappears from
these waters, the 'Eskimos will
face starvation. A'similar "suw e
of slaughter has taken plane In.
the Eastern Provinces of Tanga
nyika -- as a result the hunter
there has 'become the hunted.
Uncontrolled killing for profit
resulted in wild lions being rob-
bed of their natural prey, so the
lions have . now started killing
people for food, Not because
they are man-eaters by inclina-
tion, but becausethey must turn
to two legged game or perish,,
To remedy problems of . this
kind and to pr'eser-ve a proper
balance of wild life, the Fauna
Preservation Society is appeal-
ing today for new members.
It needs more money to carry
out its schemes for safeguard-
ing the many animals and birds
without which the world would
be a dull place.
The Society's efforts are, at
present, concentrated on Africa
— recently, it collected and 'sent
$30,000 towards the rescue of
animals marooned by the con-
struction of the Kariba Dam in -
Rhodesia.
Now it wants to ' conserve
other splendid African species
Which are being menaced. Those
throat must be saved include the
black African rhinoceros,' the
kob antelope, giraffe,. mountain
gorilla and bhe African elephant..
Poaching presents the biggest
threat to these animals. At one
spot in Tanganyika, wardens
found that gangs, of poachers
had laid twenty miles of ',illegal .
traps, a few yards apart. 'More
than a thousand elephant car-
casses were discovered inside" a
twenty -mile radius, all the haul
and handiwork of one poacher.
The man hadn't bothered
about the meat. he was in-
terested only inthe. tusks and
the money becould get for them.
Fatuous Regiment
Preserves A Penny
The Oheshire.Regiment, nick-
named the "Red Knights," has
returned to Northern Ireland -
to recuperate a little from three
arduous years spent fighting
Communist terrorists in Mala-'
ya,
Ireland has• a special place in
the regiment's story. Shortly ' af-
ter its formation, nearly three
hundred years ago by the Duke
of Norfolk,; the new. regiment
crossed the Irish Sea, and gain-
ed its 'first battle experience by
taking part in the siege and 'cap-
ture of Carrickfergus,
The years rolled on, Battle
honours were accumulated. The
regiment modernized itself in
many ways but always retained
its links with history.
Ample proof of this came 230 -
odd years after its formation.
At this time one of the Che-
shire's battalions was joined by
a private named Leninham.
Newly arrived from Chester, he.
reported to the Depot at.Carrick-
fergus and was sent to the .guar

What Joe DiMaggio meant to
the New York Yankees of the
1940s, Frank Gifford meant to.
the New. York Football. Giants of
the 1950s. DiMaggio was the
complete baseball player, gifted,
classic in style, known for the
power of his hitting and the
grace of .his fielding. Gifford was
the complete football player,
strong, versatile, capable of run-
ning -or passing • or tackling.
Each in his own time brightened
'the New York sports scene. Di -
Maggio retired in 1951. Gifford
appeared the next year:
Last month the careers of the
two athletes 'were at. opposite
sides of the seesaw again. Di -
Maggio, 48, a member of the
Baseball Hall of Fame since 1955,
announced that he was tempo-
rarily returning to baseball. Far
two weeks next month, when the
Yankees train in St. Petersburg,
Fla., he will serve as a batting
coach. The day DiMaggio broke
the news, Gifford, 30, retired.
After 9 seasons Gifford, who suf-
fered a severe concussion after
a tackle by Philadelphia's Chuck
Bednarik last year, is quitting
football and becoming a sports-
caster for CBS. New York was
losing one "hero, and .regaining
