THEY 'ONLY EXPECTED THREE'— Rayrhond Feyre and his wife,
Mary, smile in Holyoke, Mass., after Mrs. Feyre, 35, gave birth
to quadruplets, two girls and 'two boys, March 29. Feyre, now
the father of 10 children, said -they had expected triplets but
"one of them must have 'been hiding in that x-ray picture,"
Two of the Feyres' other children are twins.
Gave Up Teaching
To fle A Gown
If a fellow can't run away and
join the circus just because he's
only 51/2 , the next beet thing cer-
tainly would be for his father to
quit his job, sign 'up as a clown
and take junior along as part of
the act.
That was the reason there
were spangles in the eyes of
young Charles Boas as the fami-
ly's trailer took off from Michi-
gan last month for Alabama and
the winter headquarters of the
Penny Brothers Circus at Scotts.

Mg mother, Kathleen, and his
three sisters, aged respectively 4
years, 18 months, and 2
months. And, of course, there was
father — 35-year-old. Dr. Charles
Boas, a Ph.D. from the 'Univer-
sity of Michigan and until a few
days ago an assistant professor
of geography at Michigan. State
University. All his the a circus
bnff, Dr. Boas had finally decid-
ed to take the big jump from
campus to tanbark, specifically
to join the Penny Brothers fac-
ulty of clowns,
For Mrs. Boas it was "seine-
thing my husband always want-
ed to do." For the babies there
could be only the dimmest
awareness of a change in sounds
and smells. For 4-year-old Lol-
lie, "going with daddy to the cir-
cus will be fun" and she hoped
"to swing on the trapezes."
But for yourg Charles — cr
Toby, as he's called — it was a
matter of the most solemn im-
portance, marking his own em-
barkation on a new career as
well as his father's. He talked
about it with professional seri-
osuness, occasionally breaking up
et the thought of the funny
things in their act.
"We've got a magic box," he
explained. "Me and daddy and
some other clowns come out. I
have an ice-cream cone and I
put it in the box, and daddy puts

turn a crank, a bell rings, and
out comes a great big cone.
Daddy is surprised. Then. I turn
the crank again and out comes a

rays, 'Let me have it,' and I do—
right in the face."
What did Toby want to be
when he grew up?
"Oh, maybe I'll be a fireman
or maybe a balloon man."
A balloon man? Like an as-
tronaut in space, maybe?
"Gosh, no," said Toby with a.
trace of scorn. "The man who
sells balloons."
They Store Apples
Under Water !
A traveller who recently re-
turned from a visit to Hungary
has been telling of some tasty
apples and vegetables he ate
straight from the river bed! a.nd
before you think this man is off
his head—let us say that he did
t-o as a result of an experiment
for using underwater beds for
food storage.
At twelve sites, including va-
rious places on the Danube and.
Tiza rivers, supplies of apples
were sunk in plastic containers.
In some instances, the surface of
the water froze over—but with
no ill effects to the apples,
The authors of the scheme,
two horticultural experts, San-
dor Fejes and Jozef Kresch,
joined forces with an engineer
of the Synthetic Material. Re-
search Association. Together,
they have solved the problem of
underwater ventilation. The ap-
ples have freedom to breathe
and sweat.
The traveller states that apples
thus bedded down retain both
their bloom and freshness. They
taste as delicious as when they
are freshly picked.
The new plan will reduce costs
in maintaining expensive store-
houses, hitherto a must, because
of Hungary's big apple crop.

Cairo .Car,Parking
Colorful, Bu iness
Pulling up to the curb of 4
downtown Cairo street recently I
was accosted by a tall, black-
faced man dressed in a long
crown overcoat and red tarboosh,
"Leave the brake off when you
leave and put the gear in neu-
tral," he said quietly in a deep,
powerful voice, "a someone
bumps you from the rear the car
won't be hurt, you see."
"Oh, yes," / said, taking his ad-
vice and prepared to pet out of
the car,
Then, as looked away for a
moment, there came a thunder‘.
ing shout in Arabic that resem-
bled the liner Queen Elizabeth
putting out to -sea,
4,1 YA
Looking at the kind-faced man,
I found him smiling through big,
gold teeth and pointing upward.
In another moment there came
another stenorian "YA KAWI',"
"Old Sa'ad the ear parker here
is the most religious man on
Kasr el Nil Street," a passerby
stopped to tell me. "The Koran
says good Moslems should repeat
Allah's name as often as pos-
sible.
"Sa'ad has such a powerful
voice he lets it go every now and
then, Allah has about 100 names
and "Ya Kawi" (Oh All-Power-
ful One) is one of them,
"This is his 22nd year on this
very spot, If people around here
don't know him by sight they
know him by voice:
"YA KAWI!!" Sa'acl roared
once .again. "YA KAWI'! YA
KAWP!"
Sa'ad Mirzilni Stead is Cairo's
most colorful car parker, a job
preferred by some of Egypt's
most unusual personalities.
Where the United States has
parking meters and police to
check them, Cairo has car park-
ers who must use their own de-
vices to be sure they get paid.
Sections of Cairo streets are
divided up by mutual agreement,
the higher-paying curbs near the
center of town being preferred
and going to men with highest
seniority. Concessions are some-
times passed on to sons or cous-
ins like valuable family legacies.
There are few easier jobs in
Egypt. '
In return for finding parking
spaces and for insuring that hub-
caps remain where they belong,
drivers pay one piaster — about
two cents — to the car parkers.
The custom' is purely voluntary
and many try to get away with-
out paying. A few Americans
here, for example, pride them-
selves on resisting this non-
bureaucratic system say in g,
"Why should we pay! There's no
law about it, is there?"
They ignore the car parkers
frantic screams of "Aiwa! Aiwa!"
as they pull out from the curb
while he stands in, their path. It
is his only way of getting the pi-
aster from reluctant car owners,
writes James Davidson in the
Christian Science Monitor.
Sa'ad Mirzilni is one of Cairo's
oldest and most respected car
parkers. For 22 years he has
worked the north side of Kasr,
el Nil Street opposite the Wahba
Building where many foreign
correspondents have their offices-.
His booming "KAWIS" are a fa-
miliar part of the daily street
scene. He is married and has
four children. Asked why he
works instead of following the
Oriental custom of living off
children, he replies, "It's better
to work. I can't stay home idle,
Allah wouldn't liace it. I'm still
strong, look."
About six feet, two and weigh-
ing over 200 pounds, Sa'ad indeed
presents an imposing figure.
"My father came from Darfour
b-i Sudan," he tells you: "He was
six feet, five and 275 pounds. He
lived ter 1,e 110." At

Now We YHave The
Stamp Bootlegger
Stamp dealers in the U.S.
badger countries from Afghanis-
tan to Zululand to keep issuing
new stamps, essential imports for
the $100 million-a-year philatel-
ist trade. Partly due to this pres-
sure, the volume of new stamps
has hit blizzard proportions (in
1960, world postal departments
turned out nearly 2,000 special
issues). But traders last month
were complaining louder than
ever.
Cause of their troubles: Phila-
telic 'free-baoters cornering the
market. Here's how they work.
A broker, usually an American
with connections, buys up exclu-
sive rights to the new issue of a
cooperative nation, often at a
discount, and sells the stamps for
whatever the market will bear.
One New York firm, for ex-
ample, peddled foreign 6-cent
stamps in this country last year
for $8.50 apiece. The over - all
take, according to Britain's Phil-
atelic Traders' Society, often runs
to about $100,000 on a single is-
sue.
"When you think of collectors
who are having to pay fancy
prices for issues that will fall in
value in a few years, you realize
what a racket is going on," cone-
mented a broker at the Eighth
National Stamp Exhibition in
London,
One Latin American collector,
unable to buy a new stamp in his
own country, raised such. a com-
motion recently that he almost
single-handedly 'forced his 'gov-
ernment to revoke its exclusive
contract with a New York deal-
er. Despite such rear-guard ac-
tivity, however, the double-deal-
ineepersists. The Maldive Islands,
a 'British protectorate in the In-
dian Ocean, recently issued, for
instance, a new stamp with a
face value of $21, "Flow many
Maldive fishermen," wondered a
British broker, "can buy such a
stamp out of a month's earn-
logs?"
