He stands only three feet, 'eleven inehes tall and tips the scales at 89 pounds.' Yet;. following his trade as a midget wrestler — specialized segment of the grunt' 'n' groan ' trade that is now sweeping the country in popu- larity he earns upwards of $50,000-a-year grappling with', other dwarfs all around the"' world eleven,months of the year.

Throughout America, there are, approximately three dozen midget wrestlers in action. The lowest paid of them earns not less than $15,000-a-year; the highest paid ' — Irish Jackie, $50,000 -annually. The lad for midget grapplers had its start in Detroit, Michigan back in 1950, Slow• at first to catch on elswhere, it's now penis- Jar in most major cities. One of the reasons for the comparative slow popularity of midget ,wrestling was the fact that many states refused to, grant them licenses. New. York State, for instance, only granted them permission last year. Now, , though, every state in the coun- try approves .them. To Cut travelling expenses the midgets travel together by car. Their driver is a beffy fellow named Lou Klein, A one time large-sized wrestler himself -- Specializing in "The role of vil- lain," Klein, for the most part, works for midgets as a Combines. tion chauffeur, valet and fixer' l flats. The huge Cadillac he ''drives Comfortably seat's eight Midgets and the driven Jaek Britten who ads as man- ager for two thirds of all midget wrestlers is 'constantly on the lookout, for new "Tiny Tims," When he finds new recruits, they are sent to Detroit where they spend six to nine niorithi- h' so gymnastic work arid instructions.

Stemmler, }lesson, Ont, On the Hollywood set, a small blend boy, age 7, dangled non- ehalantly from a prop oak tree planted in a make-believe lawn while his aunt tried to coax him down, "Right this minute!" she huffed, The boy held on, "All the other kids climb trees," he Pre- tested, The director, Charles Berton, stepped in, "We're ready for re- hearsals," he said hopefully, peering up, The boy remained unimpressed. "All right, Her- Man, cut it out," the director fin- ally shouted. Cowed, the bey gave in, inch- ed himself to the ground, but then began scooting in circles around the lawn. "You stop that, young man," ordered Barton. The boy stopped it. "Gee, I never get a chance to run around," he said and, turning to a scriptwriter, Peggy Chantler, pleaded: "Why don't you write a script where I run around?" The byplay over, 49-pound Jay North, alias "Herman" (director Barton's nickname for the boy), alias CBS's "Dennis the Men- ace," settled down and went to work as star of the half-hour filmed series 'that has proved this season's TV sleeper. Based on the Hank Ketcham comic strip about a youngster fiendish- ly skilled in rascality, Dennis has captured the highest rating of any -new show this semester. Much of the credit for this remarkable showing must go to young North, a California-born towhead with a carefully con- trived cowlick, who had previ- ously toiled •anonymously only on a few commercials and. TV shows, but who now earns $600 a week (he gets 25 cents of it as allowance). Each weekday at 8.30, Jay reports for duty at Co- lumbia Studios whether he's ivorking' or not. A. third grader, he must attend school on the lot four hours a day, and his school- marm actually holds a stop watch on him to make sure he meets his quota. The day recently in which he was wheedled out of the oak tree was a pretty typical one for Jay. He had fulfilled his school requirements, had de- voured lunch (hamburger and a chocolate milk shake), discussed Dennis ("Dennis is a good boy. It's his parents who always get him into trouble"), what it felt like to be a star ("What's a star?"), and whether he would rather not work ("I wouldn't be working with my friends any more if I weren't on TV"). Waiting for the 'afternoon shooting to start, Jay kidded around with cameraman Freulich (Jay, in space helmet: "Put 'em up, pardner." Freulich: 'Look, /ay, you're a spaceMan, not a Westerner." Jay: "Sure, I'm Westerner. I'm from West Mars") and then skedaddled off to bug the sound engineer. His spirits soared when Jay's Aunt Marie, who shepherds him on the set (Jay's divorced mother works), reminded him that scene was coming up in -which he would eat an ice-cream cone. "They'll have to give me a new cone for every retake," chortled Jay. When the scene was ready to start, the prop man handed Jay the cone, It was filled with mashed 'potatoes -- a substitu- tion made necessary by the hot lights. Jay looked crestfallen, However, Jay managed to get through the scene and succeed- ing ones without any ,display of temperament. As a result, when the day's shooting was over he got his reward: Freulich let him play with the camera. Jay mounted the' big. Mitchell cam- era, stuck, his eye to the viewer and called: "Action!" Obedient- ly, Freulich and director Barton moved onto the prop lawn, grime ,aced at each other and flailed their 'arms foolishly. • It satisfied Jay. "OK," he said from his perch. "Cut and. print!" The day's Sheeting was Official- ly over.

First' printing order is for 120 million. ^ HELP WANTED = MALE Just fifteen years ago, Allied troops were battering the rem- nants of Hitler's Wehrmacht back after the savage Battle of the Bulge, Last month, amid the pine-covered mountains of Bava- ria, some 65,000 American and German troops fought on the same side in "Exercise Winter- shield," the first joint maneuvers in which the new German Bun- deswehr has taken full part. The "aggressors" struck north from the Regensburg area. Near Grafenwohr, the "defenders" counterattacked with simulated nuclear weapons. The "aggres- sors" were driven back and pin- ned along the Danube and Alt- rnuhl rivers, where they suffered "heavy losses." The sub-zero•weather provid- ed the toughest real enemy: Three U.S. soldiers, three Ger- man soldiers, and four .German civilians were killed in accidents, and .63 other persons were 'in- jured. But when the maneuvers were finished, the West German troops could be pronounced "combat ready." With seven divisions al- ready under arms (including Honest John artillery rockets and Nike anti-aircraft missiles), the Bundeswehr is already the largest (230,000 men) and on the way to becoming the best- equipped European' force in NATO: It was this impressive revival of -West German military strength that' put the rancorous problem of Germany's future in last month's headlines. The Kremlin which all, along has feared German rearmament, in- sisted again that the German problem be "solved" by.a world- wide reeognition of satellite' East Germany. Nikita Khrushchev once' again threatened to 'liqui- date .. . West,Berlin's occupation regime." "Adenauer does not want it," he said. "But who is asking Ade- nauer? We have fought the war and lost millions of men." 'Acienatier's reply came in the Bundestag. Maneuvering far ahead of his allies the Old Man boldly asserted that both halves of Berlin belong to West Ger- many (neither the U.S. nor Bri- tain have gone as, far as that), and that anyone who wants to negotiate about Germany's At-, ture had better apply to Bonn. As for East •Germany; which last week established a new National Defense Council to prepare for nuclear armament, Adenauer scorned any thought of recog- nizing a "Soviet colony." "All we Germans want," he told the ap- plauding Bundestag,is "the right to determine our own fate, a right being given to every peo- ple in Africa," SAVE! SAVE!

They would beat gongs so noisily that be could not hear his customers speak. Business became impos- sible until their constantly ris- ing demands had been met. Similarly, a shipping firm ig- noring the Guild would have to contend with gashed sacks, broken crates and damaged goods, Some years ago both the Beg- gars' and Thieves' Guilds, de- clared a forty-eight hour strike in sympathy with students agitating for boycott of 'Japan- ese goods. Several beggars' or- ganizationi * made substantial contributions :to the Famine Tie- lief Fund, and once their Guild presented a grandfather clock to a retiring official who had won their favour.

Telephone JAckson 2.3503 STAMPS Pork's A Problem In Poland That age-old partnership be- tween horse and ploughman is now very seldom seen in the Canadian .countryside. Tractors have largely ousted plough horses because they do the job so much quicker. ' But, in Poland, almost the re- verse trend is-now apparent. In the past year, the country's horse population has increased by 108,000, while pigs have slumped by 742,000. The Pole loves his pork, and, with a birthrate three times as high as ours, Poland's 27,500,000 people are again grimly tightening their belts. Shocked by this situation the Polish Prime Minister, Gomulka, recently complained bitterly; "Horses in our country are be- ginning to eat up the pigs." To blame 'are Poland's pig- headed peasant farmers, most of, whom stick to' old-fashioned me- thods, Few own more than five acres of land, and, even these midget holdings are so grossly sub-divided that a tractor put to work on a single field, has scarcely room to turn round. Last July the• government de- creed one meatless day a week. But this austerity has proved an inadequate stop-gap and a new meat crisis is developing. Some city authorities, lured by Soviet - inspired industrial e x - pansionist plans, banned pig- keeping as a townsman's hobby. They are kicking themselves now. In 1957, Polish non-farmers reared 640,000 pigs. Today the total is only 367,000. "ROCKETS! Satellites! 100 with approv- als. Fitie stamps, direct from Europe.

Worcester saw countless Buddha idds. They al- ways reminded him of one given to his father when he was sta- tioned at Malta. "It must never" be dusted," said the donor, `"otherwise mis- fOrtune Will overtake the house- held,".
