The Brussels Post, 1949-2-9, Page 3Leading Lady lay MARION BOUT }HER Tian is rc.11y a dear told I'd rather have hint fora husband than Llarl et Boyer, het sometimes he in terribly forgetful. It was miner- dnnalle of him to forget the play. We. were having breakfast when he cahnly aunonrtied: "\Von't be home for dinner. I'm going to see Ferris at last about that advertising contract. I wanted to bring him here for the evening but he seemed to have other pliers. Anyway, 1 sen faking him to dinner and we'll be able to discuss matters." "And prat's what you intend to do tonight?" 1 asked icily. "Why yes, bon, why not?' Dan gulped clown his coffee and looked at etc with an innocent air, "Sure .hope 1 can owing the deal. "But tonight's bur Little Theater play! How could you forget? Or maybe you rant be bothered with at—maybe ) ou don't want to see me actl" "Doris, so help me, it slipped my mind completely! 1 was so anxious to see Ferris that 1 didn't think of anything Ilse. Perhaps if we get through early ... but you'd better not count on it." I was almost in tears. Dan was angry too. "And I am glad it will he over tonight—I am getting tired of coning home to a cold supper, with you rushing off to rehearsals every night. "Why, Dan, yon know you're ex- aggerating— it x- aggerating--it hasn't beets every night. .1 thought you were proud that .1 was given the lead." "I .am going to be late for my bus," Dan muttered and hurried .away ,without even goodby. We .don't .quarrel very often and I ,always feel badly when we do. 'But:to think :he'd forgotten about • the 'la .. Our club had been stee- l -rig y Ing over It for weeks and our direc- tor, Who didn°.t .hand out many compliments, had. Sold me that I played 'the' lead very well. I ''� felt a !little when 1 e guilty thought what !Doan bad said about sold suppoers;. Perhaps 1 had ne- glected hint lately. All day 1 kept thinking ,uneasily of Dan, I kept hoping he'd phone. The day went by without a word. "Very well. Mr, Crawford!" I thought angrily as I got ready to go to the theater, "if you don't care about my activities I can get along quite nicely withont you, Other people appreciate my talents!" Hadn't I often been told that I should have gone on the stage? Well, f might yet! Perhaps it was my anger which helped me play my role with more spirit. After the first act, I knew the play was going to be a success, knew too that I was playing my part well, There were compliments but stid• denly my success turned to ashes. I didn't care about the play any more ---I was thinking of Dan, Slowly, I beganto remove my grease paint. 'Hurry up, Doris." it was an- . oilier girl in the cast speaking. "We're going to have a party to ,elcbrate aur success," "'Sorry, but Doris is coming with one." Was it really Dan's voice? I whirled around. Yes, there he was. "Von were great, hon, 1 was so inoud of you!" "But, Dan," 1 exclainiec, "what about Ferris?" "Of course, I've been here all evening and Ferris was with me. I-Je'tt a atttXi-os tst meet vol, YYtt know, it was a fumy thing. After dinner I decided to tell hint that I had to get away --explained that soy wife was taking part in a play and 1 wanted to see it. That was exactly shat: he wanted to do. I,e's been keen about dramatics." raid you get the contract?" I asked, n ''- "Yrs, and 1 think you helped me pot it. over. Guess it was because he was so impressed with your act- ing!" . 1 Oh, Dan ."• "- ' : c z nfi resp renes tl0e BA reason but 1. am 50 glad!'

TIIEL&1ZM IIOM- J9k' The Dominion Department of Agriculture has put through new regulations — effective January 3,, 1949—with regard to the marketing of cattle' that have reacted either to the Tuberculin Test for Tubercula - xis or the blood test for Brucellosis (Beef's Disease). Formerly the letter "B" was tat- tooed in the right ear for Brucello- sis, and the letter "T" punched — uleo in the right ear—for TB. But now all cattle which have reacted to the blood test must be branded with a "B" on the right hand cheek, this brand to be three and one quarter inches in height by two and a half inches in width, Reaction to the Tuberculin test is to be marked by a brand—height two and a half inches and the bar of the "'1" to be the same longth—on the left cheek. 4 4 4 Speaking of Brucellosis—or, to give it' the better known name — Bang's Disease, there is a most in- teresting article on this subgect in the current issue of Country Gentle- man. It deals, not so much with the effects of this disease on ani- mals, but on human beings. 4 e x Brucellosis today—that is among people—is primarily a farm problem, and no one knows just how many there are who suffer from it in one of its many forms, but it is re- cognized that four out of five of them live in rural areas. t 4 k It is an undulant fever, and can be a distinctly unpleasant and crip- pling disease. Sufferers from it, in.. its more acute fot'In, are often mis- erably ill for many months at a time. From a single exposure, a patient has been known to remain i11 for as long as len years, d * N All aulhoritiee • agree that the number of KNOWN eases re- presents only re fraction of ate n'te- tuns; and one expert stales that the number of diagnosed human oases has increased cixtyfold in the past 20 years. Another authority puts the »umber of cases, in the United SSales alone, at over 130,000 every year. 4 4 4 Many people have the disease without being aware of It. Tile Ill- y. WILLIE WEATHER Says: WINDY One o1 my yCl- m a l e acquaint- spneel Jggrf¢(e ea* - 1,4 t'- tha •gtery tilme nee*h Elis certain ioung lady, the wind is blowing ata terrific rate of speed. That's why '1' cell her ny pale- erlepee nese is often mistaken for chronic influenza or something of the sort. In some of the chronic cases the symptoms are so obscure that doc- tors decide that the patient is emo- tionally unbalanced, er suffering from neurasthenia. It is. easy to make such a mistake as most vic- tims suffer from extreme mental de- pression. t * $ To try and found out hued. how many people may be suffering from Brucellosis, a Doctor Spink asked university authorities to let him make skin tests on all patients com- ing to the hospital's out-patient de - pertinent, These included both city and country folks, and they worked at all sorts of trades and occupa- tions, The only thing they had in common was that NOT ONE OF THEM thought that he or she had undulant- fever, Yet, ant of 553 tested, nearly one in five either had, or had at soothe time been exposed to, Brncellosis. ' 4 4 a 'Many pass through the Scute stage of the disease safely, but still retain it in a milder form for years. "I.had an attack of flu, with aches and pains in my body—chills, head- ache, sweats and a little cough" is the tray one describes it. "It cleat- ed tip in about ten days, but ever since I feel weak and tired. I'm nervous, have headaches, feel low in my mind and my appetite is poor." a As many of my readers no doubt know, undulant fever may crime from drinking 1INPASTEURIZED milk from cows with contagious ab- ortion, or Bang's Disease. And be- cause most urban markets insist 071 milk being pasteurized this forth of disease is rare in towns and cities 4 4 4 But because many farmers do not bother to pasteurize the mills kept for family use, the disease is ramp- ant in many rural areas, just how danylerons the milk -borne infection can be will be seen from what hap- pened in a small Maryland town where, within a few days, 28 towns- people were stricken, Caught short of nmillc during a holiday period a total dealer had "helped ort" with a small quantity of unpasteurized milk from an uninspected herd, Examin- ed later, some of the cows 141 this herd were found to have 11sng's Dis- ta 55. 4 4 4 There's a new drug, called aure- omyein, which promises to do great thing.i relieving—pr�rssibly wiping em,e- vaaeella.c„ out- his metace to huaialbeingi. tut, in the, mealtime it would be ,elf 16r all who ;lay be In the slightest danger to be extra eare- InI.

Traitor's Trial 'Lord Haw !slaw' v.- e hoe ached,' name in tireat Britain during *'-e war. It was a name bestowed in derision on the best broadcaster there the Nazis had. His curious rasping drawl was known to nearly every British radio listener, and 25 he - announce.: 'Gairnany calling! Gair- many calling! Gairmany calling! Here are the Reichsender Hain- bourg, Station Bremen, and Station DXB on the thirty-one metre band. You are about to bear our news in English', he was to some as a red rag to a bull, but to most he was a joke. His nick -name, 'Lord Haw Haw,' was given +n him by a news- paper and used as the fare of a war- time London musical comedy, and imitations of him became Hart of 'the stock -in -trade of every mimic, `Lord Haw Haw's' real name was as the world now knows, Wil- liam •joyce. He was hanged for treason on January 3, 1946: Trsaton is the greatest of all crimes, and the trial at Old Bailey in Laindon of this notorious little than, with his razor -slashed cheek and insinuating voice, attracted wide attention. The whole thing devolved on a question of nationality and the privileges and duties attached to the holding of a '.British passport. Though the 511111 of Joyce was a fact of which no one IMP had any doubt, the -only people telco ran commit treason are those who owe allegiance to the Crown, and it was early found that the national- ity of William Joyce Was arguable. The case finally J on hinged Joyce's g possession of a British passport, which he applied for and teas grant- ed when he kit Britain for Germany immediately before the outbreak of war, and the judge ruled that be- sond the shadow of a doubt the prisoner at that time owed al- legiance to the Crown, and that no- thing thereafter happened to alter that fact. At the trial, throughout the long and brilliant 'regal argu- mc-"•,. sJoyce sat tight-lipped and absorbed, and he seemed to follow it all with almost professional ap- yreciation, The programme includ- es actual records of passages from some of his broadcasts, including his last. Scots Thrift The wife of a recently -married Aberdonian had successfully under- gone an operation for appendicitis, A day or two after the operation , her husband was having a -drink with the doctor, who in a moment of forgetfulness mentioned that the operation should have taken place two or three years earlier•. The father-in-law received the bill. Operation Monkey Wrench Keep your fingers crossed, chum, but it does look now as if Yankee nuts soon may be fitting British bolts by interna- tional agreement. There's a Machine -age miracle for you— simple as it may seem. Manufacturers of peacetime goods on both sides, of the Atlantic have been trying to make it happen for 50 yedrs. They couldn't get to first base. But now it's "an objective made urgent by military planning." So our United States' State Department and National Bureau of Standards have been stirring their stumps, and so have British officials involved in comparable wort!'. Long and complicated negotiations seem about to be crowned with success. \Vhy this internataional foss about nuts and. bolts? Don't we and the British both use feet and inches? This sounds like the sort of thing a few smart lads could arrange by air mail and settle in an hoar by transatlantic telephone. After that, .an American who lost a nut off a trunk lhandle in London could go to the nearest ironmonger ----that's a bloke who sells hard- ware --and buy an English -made nut to replace its The sante would go for nuts and bolts oto weapons, aircraft parts, and malty other- kinds of war goods which this country and Britain have been trying to put on a common basis since the start of World War IT, it's hard to read about such things without getting red tapitis. That's a dull feeling of utter discouragement in the seat of our intelligence. For half a century, the mechanical brains of two great nations have struggled vainly to slake a British bolt fit an American pump handle. Yet both are eager to get the job done and each can say, "Please pass the monkey wrench" in the same language. --Denver Post. 471i i ` A 4tlt f eiaue Andrew just the. rarer day 1 was tall.[ng 10 a eomlp sisal, who was leaving, for ams Cher town to start a new pos- ition.
