Pay for both,"
Miss P.amsey had talked to me
about that, I recalled the week
before, My former Latin teach-
er, now retired, happily engaged
in papering and painting her
own house, and taking lessons
dressmaking at the Technieal
College, had approved ,of the
free education but deplored the
willYnlitY allowance's for .chil-
dren. "Getting paid large sums
just for having children," she
complained, "it's unjust to the
spinsters, There's a family in the
next street, With allowances for
school children, and some of
them are teen-agers earning high
wages, they've a total of forty-
five pounds a week coming in
And the elderly spinster next
door to them, with an income of
two or three pounds a week, has
to pay the same taxes."
I remembered asking her why
people did not take' such things
up with representatives in
government. "Well," she said
slowly, "I've thought about do-
ing that, myself. Btie,
their common-sense should
them, shouldn't it? They should
know what's wrong without any
letters from me,"
"Row do you lile,e the P013,ted
doors?" I asked my seat com-
panion, to take her mind e f the
fact that I was gently removing '
her overnight bag from, between
my fact and depositing' it be-
tween her own feet.
"Oo—they're right cheenfuL
aren't they?"
- "Yes, pink, and green, and hy-
acinth blue, and orchid really do
dress up those rows of black
stone houses round Manchester.
"And anoother thing," she said,
"all me old friends, folk I work-
ed with—I was a spinner in a
cotton mill—own their own
'ouses now—buy them from the
Corporation, so ,much a month.
They've washing machines and
bathrooms and even refrigera-
tors. And cars, some of them!"
"Time to go to bed," I remark-
ed. The stewards were dimming
the lights all along the aisle.
"But it's not easy to get any-
thing done, my neighbor added,
yawning. "Our Alice wanted er
winders washed. A cheeky lad
about-thirteen came, with 'is pail
and rags, and said, `Give us a
pot o' tea first.' And she 'ad to
put the kettle on and make 'im
sandwiches afore she got a
stroke o' work out of 'im. It
never stopped raining all .. ,"
That was where I fell asleep,
and when I woke up it was still
dark, and the stewards were
bringing the morning orange
juice.
I crawled over the legs of my
fellow passengers. If I could
reach the washroom before the
general stampede in that direc-
tion , , my small plastic bag
flew open, and the contents
spilled in the aisle. I recovered
all except my toothbrush, And
what was more, as I crawled
about the stocking feet of my
fellow passengers, I found my
hat—the chic little straw with
no trimming, which depended
for its smartness entirely on its
lines. It was folded in two. .

People living in some rural
parts of Kent were puzzled not

as a succession of strange and
loud humming noises which they
constantly heard while out walk-

in the sky, The cause of the
sounds remains a mystery.

which had the reputation of be-

Top Cowboy — From •
New York State
The first time Harry Tomp-
kins rode a horse was almost the
last. A short,- slender 14-year-
old, gl'o'wing up in Peekskill,
N.Y., he cleaned out stalls at a
lecal riding, academy to earn a
free ride.. 'I thought you just
got on and did it," Tompkins re-
calls. " I 'found out different,
Afterward, I had to hold my
pants away from my legs where
the skin was rubbed raw."
But he came back for more
and last month, as the National
Finals Rodeo wound up in Dal-
las, 33-year-old Tompkins, who
never stepped out of New York
State until he was 20, was firmly
established as' the' top rodeo
cowboy in the U.S. With close
to $35,000 earned in 1960, Tomp-
kins replaced Oklahoma's Jim
Shoulders as the national all-
around rodeo champion. 'Harry,"
drawled Shoulders, a leathery
cowpoke, "is the best Yankee I
ever saw."
After h i s introduction to
horses, Tompkins rode every
chance he found. From cleaning
out' stalls, he graduated to a job
on a dude ranch near Peekskill
end then, in 1947, entered the
rodeo at New York's Madison
Square Garden. "I figured you
did it just for fun," he said. "I
cede% know you could wit)
money."
But Tompkins:, without experi-
ence, won $315 riding bulls and
decided to try the rodeo circuit,
In 1948, his first full year of
competition, he became bull rid-
ing He repeated in
1949 and 1950 and, in 1952, won,

Through his balance (perfect-
ed by tightwire walking) and
his surprising strength (he is
only 5-foot-8 and 152 pounds),
Tompkins has gained a reputa-
tion as the most stylith of bull

MERRY MENA0E1115,
Child's Toy inspired .• ‘,„
Sp:Ice Rocket
A faVouritelehoice of Victorian
parents looking for an "edtee,a-'
tional” toy to put in a Christ-
mas stocking was the gyroscopic
top,. When you ,pulled a string
to set the top spinning, it would
'balance anywhere — en a piece
of, taut, string or even on the
edge of a wine glass.
It demonstrated that a filet
spinning wheel- would hold a
steady position ein space.
And today the basic working
principle of that toy makes it
possible to direct space reckets,
or - navigate a submarine round
the wgrld without the use of
periscope. '—
Years after its ihtroduction as
a toy, the gyroscope was turned
into a compass that did rise; de-
pend .on -magnetism. From, this
came the automatic helmsman
that keeps'a ship on course with-
out anyone at the wheel, and
."GeOrge,": the robot pilot that
takes over control of 'a 'plane
and flies it on a level course
despite cross-winds and bumpy
air-currents.
Professor J. G. Gray, o'f Glas-
gow, who became world-famous
for his navigation and safety de-
vices based on gyroscopes, had
more ethan fifty gyroscopic toys
"cto help him in his research, in-
cluding a two-wheeled car that
could balance and steer itself.
Before he died, in 1934, he-des
rnonstrated these toys to, a ga-
thering of the Royal Society of
Arts,
Another invaluable aid to the
well-being of mankind that was
formerly a toy, is a doctor's
stethoscope. Doctors used to "lis-
ten in" to heartbeats and air in
the lungs by putting an car
against a patient's skin.
Then a doctor saw two *chil-
dren with a home-made "tele-
phone," It was merely a long
plank of wood One child tapped
gently at one end, and by plac-
ing his ear on the wood, the child
at the other end could hear the
taps as though they were coming
through a loudspeaker.
Later the doctor experimented
on a patient's chest with a roiled
up eXereise book. He found he
could hear the heartbeats dis-
tinctly. He had a wooden trum-
pet rnade and this in turn led
to the modern stethoscope.
Kites were favourite toys for
centuries before they attracted
scientists, Before the invention
of the aeroplane, Lawrence Har-
grave realized that a kite Would
be the right shape 'for a, flying
machine. He produced the box-
'kite and some early aeroplanes
were based on this. Over sixty
years ago, Lord Baden-Pipe-ell
built a box-kite big enough to
lift a mane so that he could spot
enemy gun positions writes I' S.
Douglas in writ-Bite,"
Even the aeroplane owes its
success partly to a child's 'play-
thing. The Wright brothers, stu-
dying what happened to air cur-
rents when they encountered dif-
ferent shapes, remembered the
balloons of their childhood thee
sometimes escaped their cluteh-
ing fingers,
They deliberately r el ea s e d
balloons in different conditions
to observe how they rose. Bal-
loons are now, ot course, used
daily itt Weethet forecasting.
Most Christmases see new
kinds of, toy guns in the shops,
many of them "futuristic." Dur-
ing the war, one such gun was
the inspiration of a rICIV
Army carbine only thirty-six
itiches long, which fired fifteen'
shots from one clip,. The idea of
the weapon, said the designers,
