The Brussels Post, 1959-10-15, Page 7• tit), WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN' THE: OLD COUNTRY ,„ CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING • A Gob Of Putty in A Boy's Palm Now they have a plastic strip With Stiek4M„ on it to Use instead of putty for 'glazing a window, and there goes another one. What use will this world he If a boy can't get a-hold of a wad of putty now and then? lietnere, her the unlimited prosperity of the youngster who hung around and hung around while the glazi- er fixed a Pane of glass, and was arlast able to cadge some putty for his very own? There are certain, inmmunities, rights, privileges, and pleasures Auto- matically inherent in youth, de- serving perpetual protection. and owning a gob of putty is one of them, The esoteric beauty, of a wad of putty consisted entirely of its complete uselessness. There wasn't a thing you could do with it. It wouldn't bounce. You couldn't lay it down anywhere or it would leave a ring of oil stain. All you could do was carry it around, squish it among your fingers, and allow it to ac- cumulate grime and 'grit until its own activity ruined its own function. It got crumbly, and afterward, was no good even at ' being no good. Putty, has already undergone several changes, all billed as improvements, and the plastic asbtestos, glazing compounds now in use all invade the privacy of boyhood. They don't Oeze so well, and have functional prop- erties that defeat the juvenile intent. They work better on a window, of course, but isn't there somebody left in this great civil division who can see that putty is not solely a device to hold glass in place? The old-time putty, made of powder and oil, would also hold glass in place. It turned hard after a while, and was mighty poor picking when you had to dig it out in later years. But it did get mixed so it made won- derful squeezing. This was, Once, important--perhaps not to every- body. The most fun was the bed- ding kind. When you set a pane of glass, you have to put some putty on the frame first, which is called bedding. Some inexpert putty- ers, not knowing all the tricks, lay this in „with a putty knife, and take, quite a bit of time do- ing it. But a real putty man puts the putty on the glass, instead, and drops the pane in onto the clear wood. This way, he likes to have the putty a little softer, and it makes a difference. What you do is lay the putty out on a smooth surface (another pane of glass is fine) and flatten it all down into a patty-cake, and then you take the pane of glass you're going to set and hold 'it between your hands. You draw it against the pattycake of putty, and this annoints the whole long edge of the glass beautifully. Turn the pane to another edge, and repeat. It takes maybe five seconds to bed the whole pane, whereas bed- ding the frame could take long minutes. Later, bring away the excess with the- putty knife. Then you have to push in the glazing wpoints, and put in the outer putty. It is a pleasure to watch a good man do this. One long, firm, deliberate ,stroke, feeding the putty with the other hand, and a cleft finish at the end, and 'the senall boy watch- ing is seeing something as fancy as an oil painting. He is merely wondering if, when the job is done, there will be any putty left, and if so will it be like an adorn, a hoise ,chestunt, or may- be an egg. The wonderful thing about puttying a window is, as far as I know, that some putty is al- ways left • over. The glazier pincheS it between thumb and finger; rolls it while inspecting the work and when he is sure he isn't going to need any more, he passes it, without looking, at the boy. The boy wouldn't know what to do with a million dol- lars, 'but putty is valuable. What could you elo with a plas- tic strip bearing weatherproof adhesiVe, cut off at the end with a pair of shears? it suggests no charm, no warmth, ho 'friendli- ness. But the gob of putty, now in the boy's • palm, becomes thing of rare worth, • and Will set up envy for miles around. "Lopk, I got some putty!" Other boys will ask if there was any more, could they get some, too? It was a milestone in growing up, the end of one Wonderful day ,when somebady fiked a broken window and the 'boy had his Wad of putty to fondle. Thint.: of all the grown-Up then, read , irig this, who are sitiiiihg hoW and remembering how they sattoze putty one day, long ago, and don't remember where they left it!

Early .Pays In pritjAh. Radio In the early days of :broadcast, ing howlers were horribly .fre„ (pent. There was even one on What might be described es the birth of radio as a medium of entertainment, when the great Dame Nettie Melba' was persuad- ed to appear before the micro, phone on June 15th, lea It was a nerve-racking role fer the mart who had. to escort the temperamental prima donna to. the Marconi studie. at Chelme- liircia And as she sailed through the works yard he pointed to the two .enormous masts . towering them, from which the Aerial was suspended, and re- marked, hoping to impress her: "From up there, Dame Melba, your. voice will go out and, be heard over most of Europe." The singer stared upwards, then snapped; "Young man, if you think I'm going to climb up there at my time of life, you're mistaken!" "To describe activities in the. studios in. those early days as erratic would be putting it mild- ly," says Freddie Grisewood in his Story Of The BBC". He des- cribes that first famous 2L0 studio at Marconi • House, Lon- don, as ".. „ a dingy room twenty feet square, with a faded green carpet, a grand piano and • a worn-out settee with the horse- hair coming through:" A programme of songs was frequently interrupted by a re- quest •for, "One moment, please; while we move the piano." And if a singer was too short to reach the Mike he had to stand on a pile of books. One tenor, reaching for a high note, toppled backwards and finished up on the floor! Conditions were so cramped at that first 2L0 station that the studio had to be used as an of- fice during the day, then hastily tidied up for the evening's broad- cast, while the music library was housed in an old kitchen range. On one occasion, says Freddje Grisewood, during early days at Savoy Hill an orchestral concert was overrunning its time so seri- ously that he had less than ten minutes to -fit in songs by a celebrated woman singer. What could he do? He couldn't cut the singer in view of her-reputation . . , then she came to his rescue With dramatic suddennes by fall- ing in a dead faint at his feet. Hastily dragging her away from the microphone, he cut in to apologize for her "indisposi- tion," then waved the orchestra into their final item. "For once in a way," he says, "the pro- gramme ended dead on time." There was the classic "clanger," too, of a former Bishop of. Lon- don who, after pronouncing the Blessing at the end of a religious service, added to the announcer: "I don't think I spoke too loudly, did I?" The harassed announcer dived for his bell-push to cut them off the air — too late.

Early gramophones were anti- quated contraptions that had to be wound by hand, and one clay Freddie Grisewood caught his sleeve on the regulator when put- ting on a record of the "Tann- hauser" overture and was hor- rified on reaching his listening cabinet to hear it being played at full speed. Too "green" to the- job to apologize and start the record again, he foolishly allowed it to run its full course. The, result was he received a shower of indignant letters.. But there was one listener who wrote in most • kindly vein to say he had found the experience extremely ex- , hilarating — that he had never heard "Tannhauser" played bet- ter. His name - was Sir Thomas Beecham. It's fatal for an announcer to panic or to get over-excited.

However, they maintained a po- lite interest throughout and. were greatly relieved to hear him announce in English at the end: "My wife will now give a translation." The students listened intently as 'qrs. Dali translated the speech — in her native Ukrain- ian! It was a big occasion in a cer- tain Eastern university when Salvador Dali, the Spanish sur- realist painter, was persuaded, along, with his Russian-born wife, to address art lovers there in connection with a showing of his work. The hall was packed with students when -the painter and his wife made their appear- ance. But the crowded meeting was A. new psychological test has confirmed what a good many harried laymen suspected all al- ong: Teen-age traffic violators subconsciously tend to regard an automobile as a weapon. Dr. James L.. Malfetti, execu- tive director of the. Safety Re- search and Education Project at New York's Teachers College of Columbia, reported last month that , he has developed a pilot test to elicit emotional reactions to such key words as man, woman, home, money, car, and weapon. The project is still in, the 'experimental Stage, but a signifi- cant 'number of teen-age traffic offenders (Malfetti wouldn't say precisely how many)' reacted to "weapon" in much the eame manner as they responded to "car." One Doctor Who Kept His Oath It was 4 o'clock of a very dark morning in 1865 when Dr, Sam- uel A. Mudd, asleep at his farm near Bryantown, IeIcl., was arous- ed by two men seeking medical aid. A. horse had fallen, they said, and, one of the men had broken his leg. They would pay $25 if Dr. Mudd would set the break and give them a room for the night. Dr, Mudd agreed, and thus be- came a key figure in one of the great tragedies of history. For one of the two men was John Wilkes Booth, who only about six hours before had shot Presi- dent. Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. (Booth's companion was David E. Herold.) In fleeing, he had caught a spur, in the flag cov- ering the President's box and had fallen, his leg broken, Yet he had succeeded in escaping, and so brought the country doc- tor into the awful event. Ever since, Dr. Mudd has been defended as innocent of treason by some historians, and branded as Booth's accomplice by others. Even last month, when President Eisenhower signed a bill provid- ing for a bronze' memorial hon- oring Dr. Mudd's service to yel- low-fever victims at Fort Jef- ferson, Fla., the question of the doctor's innocence was careful- ly skirted. Was Dr. Mudd indeed an active and willing accomplice? Mudd had known Booth personally be lore the assassination, thought he claimed that he had not rec- ognized the man at his door. Tried by a military court (not 'civil, as was his constitutional right) against a background of highly indignant public reac- tion, Dr. Mudd was found guilty Of. treason. He was sentenced in 1865 to life imprisonment at Fort Jefferson on one of the desolate Dry Tortugas islands, 60 miles west• of Key West, Fla, Battered by the unbearable climate, foul food, omnipresent insects, and, inhumane jailers, Mudd once tried — unsuccessfully — to es- 'cape by hiding in a_ship's can- non. But in 1867, When yellow fever decimated the fort, Dr. Mudd passed tip a chance to flee, instead fought the epidemic sin- glehancled. For, his great human- ity, the garrison asked President Johnson to pardon him. The pardon came through in 1869, and Dr. Mudd deturnecl to his neglected fainily, farm, and medical practice. ,In 1883, at the age of 50, he died in a quiet sort of glory — of pneuinenia, as a result of visiting his patients in freezing january weather, Inno- cent or guilty of treason, Dr. Sarritiel Mudd never betrayed the oath that made him a doctor.
