mixup of oil, politics and religion, in
a jointly written article in the Sept-
ember Reader's Digest.
Tribal chieftains in. Persia, as long
ago as the 11th century, hired assass-

Iran today, the fanatically nat-

society called Fidaiyanelslam is bes

This assassin, one Khalil Tahmassebi,
driven to desperation by his poverty,
could have been convinced that if he
did the will of Fidaiyan-Islam he
would be assured of eternal paradise.
Political unrest, religious extremism
and hatred of the British are but
symptoms of what is ailing Iran. The
fundamental trouble is the hopeless
poverty of the people, a human wret-
chedness and squalor almost unimag-
inable to the western world. In the
slum district of Teheran, known as
the Pit, 200,000 people live in tunnels
and caves, crowded to suffocation.
The Communists, too, promise a
paradise to those who go along with
them and such abject poverty as
Iran's breeds in its victims a willing-
ness to follow.

Two scrap iron thieves in Western
Ontario had somewhat-more-than
ambitious ideas.
When they were called up in court
they were facing a number of petty
theft charges, But one called for do-
ing things on a grand scale.
A chemical company near Orillia
had lost a 36 hundred pound power
shovel clam when it dropped into an
abandoned quarry. A company truck
and several workmen tried to move it
but without success.
Police say the thieves were more in-'
genious. They hired an auto wrecker
to bring it out.

Sometimes the cure can be worse
than the ailment, Halifax fire offic-
als never expected such a drastic
remedy for smoking in bed.
William Silvers fell asleep while
smoking on the chesterfield in his
home, He awakened to find the room
full of smoke and the chesterfield
smouldering. Groping for an exit,
Silver walked out the second storey
window, crashed a second window
with his foot on the way down, and
landed on the street unhurt.
Firemen soon quelled the blaze. The
chesterfield was the only eaeetalty.

Armed with an air rifle, a sharp-
shooting Toronto policeman was sent
out to bring in a disturber of the,
peace—with orders to shoot to kill,
The culprit was a small starling
chirping in the rafters of a new Tor-
onto church. The minister of the
church complained the singing of the
bird disturbed him during hip per-

The constable's first shot popped
a light bulb —on the second the
small bird took flight,
Things aren't what they were in
the old days—no sirree!
Even the flagpole sitters get it too
soft. The Toronto baseball team has
a flagpole sitter perched atop a staff
that is sprouting up in front of Maple
Leaf Stadium, And Don. Buchanan,
the sitter, is supposed to stay there
until the Leafs get to the top.
Well this is okay but a Toronto
newspaper is complaining. Buchanan
has things too soft,the paper says.
After all, he's got a radio, walkie,
talkie, furniture, in fact a small cot-
tage up with him on top of his pole.
"What's needed is "real sacrifice,"
says the paper, if the team is ever
going to get there!

The quality of Regina's water didn't
seem to satisfy the taste of a small
elderly 'woman.
She was hauled into police court re-
cently for possessing home. brew, But
she had another story to tell. She said
the water stinks so she put something
into the water to take the smell away.
The police explained to the sym-
pathetic judge that whatever she had
put into the water, she couldn't quite
remember what it was—had been
there too long. The result was a
quantity of home brew with a kick
like a mule.
Somehow an erroneous report gut
out that sod on a section of Toronto's
lakeshore boulevard in the Exhibition
grounds was free tor the taking. -
Before the report could be correct-
ed citizens had stripped five thousand
yards of sod from .the boulevard, And
the city has to pay out 32500.00 to
replace it.
