— Smokes Cigars
Brenda Gail Phillipa Is only
four but her favourite occupation
is not playing with dolls but
smoking strong cigars,
When her father caught Brenda
smoking a cigar he bought re-
Gently, he sent for a doctor, ex-
pecting the little girl would be
terribly sick,
Everyone was amazed when
Brenda finished off the cigar,
and then smilingly asked for an -
ether!
Doctors say thaat Brenda ap-
parently lacks something in her
system. They advise that she
should be allowed tobacco once
in a while,
Her father didn't like the idea
• of Brenda puffing away at cigars,
however. To try to break her of
the habit he gave her three
strong cigars in succession. But
she smoked them all — and then
asked for morel
Neighbours, a t Spart«mburg,
South Carolina, often drop in to
marvel at Brenda happily puffing
away in her own small chair
while watching television,
Oysters Have Foes
Over And Under
Some people think the world
is their oyster, but the starfish
know that the oyster is their
world, The conflicting philoso-
phies have led to ferocious com-
petition for oysters, with the
starfish, in recent years, win-
ning out, The starfish have two
advantages: They are closer to
the supply, and they don't ob-
serve the "r" -less month rule,
An average starfish can eat 10.
to 20 bushels of oysters a year.
One week, last month, on Long
Island Sound, people struck
back. Skindivers, 400 - strong,
fetched up an estimated 25,000
starfish, saved an estimated 375,-
000'bu'shels of oysters for people
to eat.

MERRY MENAGERIE
meat 4: `
Well, it's'about time WE got
a little consideration!"
THE FACE OF WAR — A wounded Laotian soldier is carried to
a vehicle for the trip to an aid station at Vientiane, Laos. He
was among those wounded when the village of Padang fell to
pro-Communist rebels recently,
Where Every Kid
Makes. The Team
Baseball's dad, Abner Double-
day, would probably thrill to the
new mood that has come over
his game on a number of dia-
monds in Fort Wayne, Ind,
A now league has just been.
laundched in town, They call it
the Wildcat League. It not only
has teams, coaches, scrappy
young players, bats, balls, sacks,
plates • and mounds, distinctive
T-shirts and caps, but it also
has a significant philosophy.
It ,appears to be such a sturdy
and "pioneering ,philosophy, in
fact, that other communities may '
want to try it out.
Thw philosophy is simply this:
everybody who comes out for 'a
Wildcat League, team makes the
team and gets in the game.
That's it. Not so new? Perhaps
not in essence; new, Certainly,
on this scale
It ,is a hopeful departure for
the 81/2 -to -14 -year-old baseball
set which, in recent years, has
been caught in a flurry of highly
organized leagues Which set out
to build sportsmanship and ath,
letic skill but which, somehow,
seem frequently to have brought
about as many tear -stained fre-
ckles as jack -rabbit shortstops.
Haw Babe Ruth Set That Record
Every year, about this time, there is talk about this or that ball-
player fracturing Babe Ruth's record of sixty homers in a single
season. So here, just in case you like to keep tabs, is when, where
and who -against, the Babe did it, The year, in case you've forgot-
ten, was 1927.

Boys with hearts set .00 posi-
tions on many of these well-
known leagues across the coun-
try have, in countless cases,
dragged home hopelessly after
tryouts to report that "they said
I wasn't good enough to make
the team,"
In some instances parents
themselves have pulled off-
spring out of games or off teams
when competitive zeal among
sideline adults got out of 'hand.
A variety of unfortunate fric-
tions have overshadowed set-
tings originally conceived as
training fields for wholesome
' teamwork and competition for
young boys.
It is against this somewhat
unsettled background of organ-
ized baseball for youngsters that
Ford Wayne's Wildcat, League ap-
pears so promising. -
Dale W. MoMillen, Sr., one of
the city's pioneer industrialists
and,, inrecent years, one of its.
most ardent boosters, has provid-
ed financial support for the
leagues. And he has set the
guidelines for it too.
He has reminded the people
of Fort Wayne that the future
of the community "rests in the
hands of its youth and that ade-
quate recreational opportunities
arevital to their development
as good citizens."
"Because of our interest in
youth," he continues, "we are
sponsoring the 'Wildcat Baseball
Leagues' which will offer an
opportunity to play baseball for
ALL boys of ages 83/4 -to -14 re-
gardless of race, religion, or fin-
ancial means.
"Through these additional re-
creational opportunities, a n d
without interfering with any
league now in existence, it is our
desire to teach, train, and coach
any youngster who cannot qual-
ify for play in any league now
organized.
"This investment in youth is
an investment in the future of
our community. We know of no
better way to help ensure its
growth, prosperity and enrich-
ment."
White-haired 'and hard -driv-
ing at. 81, Mr. McMillen consi-
ders these leagues "the most im-
portant thing I have ever done."
Ten of Fort Wayne's best pub-
lic and private school coaches
have been hired to direct the
teams; 10 carefully screened col-
lege athletes and 10 of the city's
top high school seniors will work
as paid assistants, They have
been instructed that the mission
of the leagues is "the creation
of a wholesome atmosphere for
the players so that correct atti-
tudes, habits, language ' usage,
:and sportsmanship may be a di-
rect outcome of their . partici-
. potion in this program."
The boys 'must tiny Wildcat
caps and 'T-shirts but if . they
cannot afford them they may do
assigned chores to earn them,
writes Robert Colby Nelson in
the Christian Science Monitor:
The league manual counsels
them in the tenets of physical
and mental fitness.,
"Don't clutter your mind with
unclean, uncouth thoughts and
ideas, Use it for worthwhile
thoughts.
"Learn the rules of the game
and play according to them. A
good sportsman never cheats.
"Teamwork is' very important
to every team. Bickering, argu-
ing, fighting with teammates will
help your team lose,
"Never blame.. an umpire or a
teammate or an opponent for
your mistake or error. Admit
your mistake or error — but
don't repeat it,"
And tucked into a corner of
the . Wildcat Baseball League'd
handbook is Mr. McMillen's per-
sonal, most cherished guidance:
"Improve yourself every day,
Beat your own record."

These Skin -Divers
Got Well Skinned
Working is only one way of
earning a living, Far more at-
tractive is that practised by a
man called Tom Crichton, who
erpises the Mediterranean in a
394on ketch, the Jack London,
When funds are lbw he takes
passengers, and that's where the
fun Starts. At Palma, Majorca, on
one occasion, a German calling
himself a professor of archaeol-
ogy hired the Jack London to
take groups of amateur archae-
ologists skin-diving.
A week before the first were
due to arrive, he turned up with
s donkey cartfilled with, what
looked like bomb rubb'e, but
turned out to be earthen pots and
bowls, broken or faulty rejects
from a local pottery.
"It is necessary to seed the
ground," he explained, and pro-
ceeded to "seed" various under-
water sites around Palma Bay
and elsewhere by chucking the
stuff overboard.
The first party of young Ger-
man amateurs arrived with their
frogmen's kits, and the ketch
immediately set sail.
'The "professor" stood near the
bow with a folio of centuries-old
charts, calculating the best place
to look for archaeological treas-
ures, then got Crichton to anchor -
at one of the seeded sites.
In went the divers. Up came
the first with a whoop, proudly
waving a piece of cooking pot
which the professor studied min-
utely before ascribing a name
and date to it. And so it went on.
"What happens if these things
are examined by experts when
they're taken back to Germany?"
Crichton asked.
' "Nothing happens because they
don't get back to Germany," the
professor explained. "Ancient rel-
ics can't be taken out of Spain.
We just gather them all together
and present them to the curator
01 the local museum. As he is a
special friend of mine he gives
each of the boys a nice letter of
appreciation."
That is one of the strange and
hilarious incidents recounted by
Crichton in his recently publish-
ed book: "Salt Water Vagabond."
