For Waterfowl
The Ontario bag and posses -
eon limits for ducks have been
reduced in the 1,961 Migratory
Bird Regulations issued by the
Canadian Wildlife Service The
lowering of limits is due to the
reduction in supply of ducks
from the Western Provinces,
where drought conditions have
seriously affected nesting success
and brood production.
The daily bag limit has been
reduced from six to five, and the
possession limit from twelve to
ten, exclusive of mergansers.
One canvasback or redhead duck
is being permitted as a "mistake"
bird, This allowance ties in with
an open letter to fish and game
clubs in the Prairie Provinces
and western Ontario, in which
Resources Minister Walter Dins -
dale asked that clubs help in-
form all hunters that canvas-
backs, and redheads shouldnot
be shot this year, in an effort to
retain an adequate breeding pop-
ulation.
The bag' and possession limits
for wood duck have been in-
creased from one to two. The
bag limit for rails, coots and gal -
Unities has been reduced frnm
six to five and the possession
limit from 12 to ten.
Geese limits remain un-
changed at five and ten. The bag
and possession limits for snipe
and woodcock are also un-
changed at eight and 16
Seasons will open one week la-
ter in•the Southern District this
year. The dates for all species
are as follows:
September 15 to December 15
in the Northern District; Sep-
tember 23 to December 15 in
the Central District; 12 noon Oc-
tober 7 to December 15 in the
Southern District; 12 noon Octo-
ber 7 to December 31 for geese
only in Essex County.
In the past, regulations have
stipulated that if a place was
baited with food attractive to
waterfowl during the open sea-
son or seven days. prior to it,
the area within one-half mile
.of that place would be closed
for the season. The Chief Game
Officer of the province can now
waive that regulation as far as
a public.- hunting area adminis-
tered by a province is concerned,
If any baiting reported outside
such an area would include the
public hunting . area within the
one-half mile no hunting radius.
GOLD IS WHERE YOU
FIND IT
George and Herbert Frank of
Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
could be said to have been born
with gold in their mouths. Yet
it needed half a lifetime's pros-
pecting over fields far and near
before they discovered their fa-
bulous good fortune.
Never once did they dream it
was on their own doorstep.
When the two brothers found
the "strike" that every perspir-
ing prospector dreams of, it was
no farther away than 200. yards
from the house where they were
born, They have hit on a reef
which, an expert assayer as-
sures them, is veined with gold.

MERRY MENAGERIE
'She's my ideal—I understand
She gets. 500 miles on a bucket
of: water!"
A BARREL OF FUN — These two boys are having ci barrel of
fun in a barrel of a boat near Mercer Island on Lake Washing-
ton. Dan Grinstead, left, and Terry McManus move along by
walking up the side of the barrel. In turn, it reacts like a
squirrel cage, propelling it at a speed of three knots. Dan
designed the plywood boat to hold four.
A Blowtorch Helped
To Start. Your Car !
When you start out in the fa-
mily car this weekend it would.
be nice if you gave a momen-
tary thought to Harry B, Haines.
Writing to the editor of the ma-
gazine The Horseless Age just
about 60 years ago he gave his
instructions for starting his 41/2
horsepower "American carriage."
"Just move the rod back of
the seat up and down once or
twice. That is the auxiliary gaso-
line pump and forces enough'
gasoline into the explosion cham-
ber to start with .... Then put
your spark and switch levers 'far
forward so as to start with a late
spark. Turnthe needle valve
controlling supply of gasoline,
then turn on your lubricator.
Now press down on your relief
lever to let out the bad gas and
turn the starting crank once or
twice to get the motor going."
Simple, eh? When Ford came
along he put the "starting crank"
out in front, but for Mr. Haines'
car it . was directly beneath the
seat,. "always in position."
It was touch and go in Mr.
Haines' day whether to go gaso-
line or steam. The Stanley Bro-
thers, of Newton, Mass., almost'
made America a nation of steam
drivers.
One problem with steam was
getting up pressure. You could
buy the Turner Pocket Gasoline
Torch whose flame according to
an advertisement "covers the
whole of the generating coil."
However that was optional with
the manufacturers of the Stan-
ley, Steamer. They recommend-
ed "cotton waste and a side road
fire."
This combined well with pic-
nics. After the hot dogs and just
before putting -out the fire you
would get at that old generat-
ing coil. However, a letter to
the editor signed Ernest Duval,
MD, of Chicago, Ill., made the
point that this is "impracticable
on a crowded street or even in
the country when the wind
blows hard. It really poised a
pretty problem.
In t h e gay, experimental
1900's, however, difficulties were
just made to be solved. Here is
how Mr. Duval handled it:
"When I want to fire up my
carriage all I have to do, no
matter if I am on a crowded
street or in my barn, is to hitch
up the generating tube on the
step, clasp the small blowtorch"
(i.e., the aforementioned TMrner
Pocket Gasoline Torch) "under
it, and in less than a minute I
can insert the generating tube
in the burner and fire in the
usual. way; take off the small
blowtorch and put it in my
pocket or in the tool bag."
Mr, Duval continued —
"The advantage of this con-
trivance is that l have nothing
to hold in my hand or lay on
the ground; that it does not gen-
erate a flame that attracts at-
tention, and is not much affect-
ed by the wind."
Personally I think I would
have been a -blowtorch man in
1902 and I am' almost persuaded
that I would have been a Stan-
ley Steamer owner, writes Ri-
chard L. Strout in the Christian
Science Monitor. The brothers,
in 1902, had a new model, so
efficient that they claimed "the
average consumption of water
used in this carriage does not
exceed 40 pounds per hour and
as the water tank holds about
20 gallons a-.yery large radius
of action is assured."
This introduces a new thought.
"Miles per gallon" in a steamer
as like as not referred to the
mileage you could extract from.
a gallon of water.
That was the day when motor-
ists had a gay recklessness and
when the horse was the double
enemy —it shied, and it shed
nails,
Other enemies were state le-
gislators. Three bills were intro-
duced in Massachusetts that year
— 7 miles an hour in cities; 15
in the country; penalty $50 fine
or three months in jail.
And the New York State Sen-
ate passed the Cocks bill: city
maximum 8 miles; country. 20
miles; on any bridge 4 miles.
An Empty Pocket
Is Now 'An Asset
The amount of money you
carry in your pocket or wallet
may be a significant indicator
not only of your comparative
wealth but your status as well.
If you have a lot of money,
reports show, you may keep very
little of it jingling in your
pockets. You have it out working
for you. But if you don't have
much, the likelihood is greater
that you keep it close at hand,
where you can keep track of it.
Queen Elizabeth II, an exceed-
ingly wealthy woman in her own
right as well as the recipient of
a large government stipend,
never carries any cash. Even
when she goes shopping at Chris-
mastime, someone in her retinue
always pays for the purchases or
arranges for thebillto be sent.
That is a royal tradition.
In non -royal circles, too, the
wealthy men of England, seem
to carry less coins on their per-
son the larger their bank bal-
ances. From time to time, men
like Charles Clore, the property
magnate, Paul Getty and Nubar
Gulbenkian, the oil millionaires,
SWORDS AND PLOWSHARES — Kansas farmers go about their work oblivious of a new type
of "silo" in the background. The object Is an Atlas ICBM missile standing on Its pad at one of
the launching sites in the vicinty of Forbes Air Force Base, Topeka, Ordinarily, Atlas is stored
below ground in horizontal position, then raised to vertical for firing.
and Charles Forte, a successful
caterer, reportedly have run
short of cash like President
Kennedy at the candy shop —
and have to borrow a small
amount to pay for taxis, tele-
phones, or emergencies,
But most of these men have
learned through experience to
have a small amount of money
on their person, or to see that
their chauffeur has funds on
hand. After all, they themselves
did not get to the top of the
financial ladder by being shorts
sighted about such matters.
Replacing money in the wallet
in England, as in the United
States, is the credit card. Such
cards are not yet as profuse
there as on the other side of the
Atlantic, But many a rising
businessman in Britain nnw
f eels it essential to have a
charge account at a good hntel
or restaurant so he can sign
the bill rather than pay cash
when entertaining clients.
Contributing to the reduction
of cash carrying at lower levels
of society Is the recent growth
of popularity of bank checking
accounts. Advertisements now
tell cash-and-carry George that
if he seems to be slighted by
the clerks when he makes a pur-
chase, it is because Jahn, no dif-
ferent otherwise and perhaps
poorer, carries a checkbook. Yes,
the empty pocket practically be-
comes an asset, according to
Henry S. Hayward in the Chris-
tian Science Monitor.
At the very depths, obviously,
are men such as myself who not
only 'carry cash — but carry
small change in a coin purse,
Several feminine movie stars, I
have noted recently, when 'le -
scribing their ideal man have
complained they cannot toler-
ate one who carries a change
purse. I know what they mean,
all right; if he is careful about
his small change, what must he
be about the larger denomina-
tions?
But if they, in turn (or their
husbands) had developed holes
in their pockets by carrying
heavy British pence, florins, and
half crowns, perhaps they would
be more sympathetic with the
purse -bearing type. He is a thrif-
ty fellow — but there is less
mending to be done in the eve-
ning!
Meanwhile, if Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev has his
way, money will become prac-
tically unnecessary in the Soviet
Union by 1980. If things work
as planned, the Soviets. 20 years
hence won't need money for
housing, transportation, or food,
education, health, or entertain-
ment. That is quite a bit to pro-
mise, and it will be some time
before we know if the Soviets
are going to achieve this goal.
If they do achieve it, millions
of them won't have to carry cash
any more—and they then doubt-
less will call themselves the
equal of Western millionaires
If they succeed, moreover, the
value of money is almost certain
to decline elsewhere, too, and
the Western millionaires of that
day won't feel rich — despite
their accumulated wealth and
empty pockets.
Calling All Scots —
Halfpennies Wanted !
Can the ancient hero k i n g,
who was inspired by a spider,
now inspire Scots to contribute
£50,000 to his memorial?
This sum is wanted to erect
an equestrian statue to King Ro-
bert the Bruce on the field of
Bannockburn where, 647 years
ago, he and his followers slaugh-
tered a 17,000 -strong English
army.
In launching a world-wide ap-
peal for this cause, Lord Clyde,
the Lord Justice General of Scot-
land, is asking for "a bawbee
for Bruce."
Already, a promising trickle
has started, some of it coming
from patriots living as far west
as Vancouver and as far east
as Tokyo.
Lord Clyde calculates that
there are 25,000,000 Scots spread
over the globe today, If each
contributes a halfpenny the
£60,000 target will be rea:'hed,
The sculptor chosen to carve
the statue is Mr. C. D'O. Pilking-
ton Jackson, who was respons-
ible for the great National War
Memorial in Edinburgh Castle.
He plans to design a statue simi-
lar in scale to the Haig monu•
ment in Whitehall.
Ideally, the memorial should
stand on the field of Bannock-
burn. But the site of the battle,
as marked on the Ordnance Sur-
vey map, is some distance off
the true place. That is now
swamped by housing and re'
claimed pastureland.
But this difficulty will not
daunt the Scots. They will erect
the memorial near the Borestone
cairn, where Bruce set up his
standard the day before the bat-
tle.
Many a bay is the kind of
child his parents wouldn't want
hint to play with.
