Sean F. Lemsss, the Bepublic
et Ireland's Premier, stated,
"This is the kind .of campaign in
'iNhich the more sensational
type of British, itewepeper likes
to engage." (Mr, Leneass wee re-
ferring here to the mass-circula-
tion Daily Mimes. which Was in
the forefront of the campaign
pvinst the livoliorn
Some Irish senators denetmeed
the campaign as a product of the
`gutter press."
But this charge .was etontrae

e'f :the most responsible Britishh,
neWspapers like the Daily Tele-
graph and the Guardian, of Man-
chester, Were themselves ceons
paigning against the live-earee
trade from the Republic, of lee-
, leed, writes Peter Dyne in the.
.Christian Science Monitor.
However, it was the Deily
Mirror team of pbotogra?hers
cud reporters who were in the
lorefrent of the actual battle
which was fought on the quays
of southern Ireland and contin-
ental channel ports.
They literally fought for their
pictures and stories against the.
agents of the vested interests.
And now, with, a major victory
eschieved, readers are writing in
to pay tribute to the courage arid
determination reporters and
cameramen in the battle for the
veteran horses.
Just how long this battle
against cruelty to old horses has
been going on is shown by the
reprinting of a cartoon publi-in
ed 50 years ago in Punch, Bri-
tain's famed hanneurous
The cartoon shows a gaunt horse
shipped from England present-
ing itself at the customs counter
al -Antwerp.
The Belgian customs official
says, "Have you anything to de-
clare?" To which the horse re-,
plies, "Only this - that I am
ashamed of my country."
Britain eventually made the
traffic in live horses for use as
meat on the continent unprofit-
able by setting an age limit
of under eight years, and a high
minimum value (now 2100, or -
e280) for any horse exported
from. Britain,
Credit .for• the victory is due
to . others, including. animal lov-
ers in the Republic of Ireland
who picketed the qUays to try
to prevent the horses for slaugh-
ter.-being driven to the ships.
In London the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals secured more than
1,250,000 signatures to a protest
petition.

Daily Mirror says, "The success
of the campaign against the

of British animal' lovers proves.

Q. How can I clean white telt
bats?
A. Mix ,equal parts of corn-
meal, salts and flour, and rub

hat, and allowing to remain for
awhile before 'brushing off.
Q.- .How can I make a substi-
tute maple syrup?
A. the peelings of pears or
peaches are covered with water,
sweetened to taste, and boiled
until' about the consistency of

And if the American young-

"But in the U.S., even young

Dr. Ward says a British com-

Rats, Flee From
Ultrasonic Waves
Ultrasonic waves broadcast by
an ingenious, new device are the
latest method of banishing rats
from large office and factory
buildings in the U.S.A.
The device sends out vibra-
tions at a frequency heard only
by rats and mice. The sound is
so nerve-shattering that the rats,
which often infest buildings in
large nurnbers, flee and. during
flight they can be poisoned.
Cats and other pets in the
buildings 'are completely unaf-
fected by the ultrasonic waves.
Different countries have dif-
ferent ways of dealing with the
ever-present menace of rats.
At London's ,Law Courts rats
once forced their way through
a bookcase into the dignified at-
mosphere of a Chancery Court,
eating a path through thick law
books. A professional rat catcher
was engaged to keep them down.
During an earlier plague of
rats at the Law Courts forty eats
were kept there to deal with the
invaders. These rats were so ra-
venous that they ate the parch-
ment tabs off the lawyers'
gowns so that the owners could
not identify them.
Thousands of rats, migrating
fiom Siberia, swept through
northern Mongolia and western
Manchuria thirty years ago, even
attacking human beings.

medical degree (although he
never practiced), a sleight-of-

manufacturer and retailer of
magic gadgets.

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING British Boys And. Girls, They Say,
Tougher Than American Youngsters
By TOM A. CULLEN
Newspaper Eenterprise Assn.
London -r" American youths
are "soft" the British say, And
the British have the muscles to
prove it.
Even sortie 'British girls, with
one hand tied behind their back,
presumably could liek American
boys of comparable age, and
size. And the girls have the
figures (mathematical) to prove
it.
To Put it simply, the Ameri,
can lads flopped in a recent
series of, fitness tests given to
10,000 on both sides of the At-
lantic, It aleo indicated that
the Scotch and Welsh, who took
part in the test, are tougher
than the Americans.
To acid insult to enjury, the
London Sunday Times says that
the average 14-year-old British
schoolboy can write a better es-
network of steel girders into a
high-tension tower, From that
fascination sprang the idea foe
the Erector Set - a collection
of miniature wheels and girdeia
from which a boy could build
almost anything. The sets had a
universal appeal (the designer
of the World War II Bailey
Bridge used one for his original
model) and supplied a solid un-
derpinning for the A. C, Gilbert
Co. The company has sold more
than 1P million sets, last year
grossed about $13 million on
everything from electric trains
to "atomic energy" labs.
Gilbert himself became one of
the happiest millionaires, en-
titled his autobiography "The
Man Who Lives in Paradise,"
Still active as chairman when he
died in Boston last month, Gil-
bert, 76, had already written a
suitable epitaph: "I've never
worked at anything that wasn't
fun. If I had my life to live over
I don't think I'd change it, Ex-
cept Maybe to take up mountain
climbing."

Animal Lovers Win
,,Irish Victory
Animal lovers in Britain look
hack on 1960 as a year in which
•a' notable victory Was won in
the battle against cruelty to
horses.
It was a, year of fierce clashes
between the humanitarian forces
and the vested interests in the
Irish horse trade with continen-
tal Europe:
But the year has ended With
new regulations announced by
the government in Dublin.
Henceforth, live horses will
not be allowed to be exported
from the Republic of Ireland un-
less they are taken immediately
to abattoirs near the ports of
arrival. This is to avoid the,
cruelty of rail transportation on
the continents.
A new abattoir is to be built
lit the Republic of Ireland to
work in close cooperation' With
the government in order to avoid
the export of live horses for use
as trieat.
When the new abattoir is built
- its completion is expected by
tire spring of 1961 - it is in-
tended that no horse over the
age of seven Will be exported ex-
ported except in special cases,
1 ,. ,,,,,, Now that the beineeriiterien
forces haVe won this big gain,
it is appropriate to recall hoWt.
it was the yoke of public opin-

newspapers, and through aid-,
