'Bobo,' the DG. (Displaced Gorilla) Finds Happy Home For an orphan gorilla, five: month-old 'Bobo' does all right. 'Bobo' lost his parents to hunt- ers (in Africa, but he gets the best fomal care from his owner, William Angelo of Ana- ~xortes, Wash, That includes a -.:bottle every three hours, bas- :-ainet with flying trapeze (above) "land 'diaper changes as needed - (right). At present, 'Bobo' weighs less than 15 pounds, but some day he'll tip the scales at 500 to 600 pounds. Before that time, Angelo plans to sell him to a : circus. F inds.

It happened this way. She picked up the book and glanced at its title, "Epitome of the Pearl of Elo- quence," by Laurentiue Gulielniess, an_ Italian. Mrs. Mortimer suddenly felt. a thrill, for the type of print to her expert eye resembled. the work of William" Caxton. She felt certain. it was a genuine Caxton, printed in 1480, : She has now been proved right by British. Museum, experts. Its typs, and watermarks are undoubtedly- Caxton"s. This 34-page volume's original owner seems to have, been aware of its value for he wrote.in it: "Please not to touch this book." What is its value? At least, $75,000. Wolf Moon Indians called it the Wolf Moon, knowing well the time when fangs were eager and hunger drove the pack. Most of the wolves are gone but the fangs remain, fangs of ice and cold, the great primal forces of winter's . death. The wind - courses the valleys and harries the hills, 3nd the long 'nights sharpen its fang, The ice lies deep. , In some lands there are mountain -barriers to the winter wind; but our geogiaphy has no such design. Our mountain chains, for the most part, lie with the. wind which moves down from the north. The great valleys-merely funnel, the gales so. that they howl unfettered and roar 'out across. the flatlands until they have worn themselves out. Our winter , winds have few barriers. Even the trees stand naked,. to , sigh and moan as the wind whips through them, freighted with snow or ice or merely freighted with cold. And the hills lie open to the ele- ments. Ice sheathes the ponds and clogs --rules for doing same, the streams. It thrusts at the banks with its own fangs. But more than that, ice gnaws at the hills.. It thrusts. a hidden fang into tne gran- wisp of mist or as fragile a thing as a snowflake. Ice, .the sharpest fang of all, and the most persistent. The Wolf Moon, they called it, listening to the howl of the pack in the winter valleys. And the howl we hear tonight will be_the wolf howl 'of the wind in those same valleys, the voice of primal forces at work in the winter world, From The New York Times. + How To Put On That Girdle Of Yours A prominent manufacturer of ladies undergarments reports that women don't know how to put on a girdle and have issued a set of For full step-in or pull-on type, the company. recommends first of course removal of slippers. Turn garment inside out upside down and pull up over knees as high as it will go, still inside out. Then pull upper part up into position, turning the girdle right side out.

In Yokoha- ma, Japan, the U.S. Army's Christ- mas Shopping. service got an order for eight identical evening bags from an infantry private in Korea, with instructions to send them to. eight girls in the U.S. along with the message: "I will love you al- ways." 4 3 EH 'utes. - en the face, There igPno necessity to *¥ cosmetics that may give off fumes «selves to serious injury and torture + has been several degrees higher ~The experiments consisted of put- ut a stretch. * > Hints For Shavers Whether you shave up, down or across the face, with long strokes or' short ones, itis a matter of personal preference, Shave in the way you find most natural and com- fortable. First, though, was your face with soap and water, removing. grit and dirt and the remains of perspiration and secretions which accumulate rapidly on the skin. . Lather 'well for at least two. min. Instruments recording the amount of wear on the blade during shaving show that unless you lather for at least one minute, the edge is unnecessarily damaged; and a lather of at least vo minutes is the most ali Yu prolonging the life of the blade,' : . After lathering, do not let your face become dry during shaving. If it does, all you need do is moist- lather again, although you may find this is the most convenient method of wetting the face. If you use a safety razor you should not have a razor towel in your bath-room, Wiping blades on a towel, no matter" how carefully you do so, generally results in ser- ious damage to the edge. If you must wipe your blade dry, do it gently on the palm of your hand, You will do far less damage, how- ever, if you just loosen the razor, rinse under "a tap, 'shake. off the surplus water, and leave it slightly damp in a safe place until next time. Do not store it, though, in a cabinet containing disinfectants and which will cause" the edge of the blade to corrode. Best plan of all is to store razor and blade in a jar of an antiseptic, non-corroding fluid, Poison. Themselves For Science' Sake Behind the cloak of mystery with anical shocks, exposure, and fatigue, twelve RAF. doctors have been working in secret, subjecting them- at the R.A.F. research laboratory, Farnborough. : ) They have endured three hours' exposure in a below zero ice-box with a wind roaring past them, They have been "cooked" in a hot-box,. the temperature of. which than the heat experienced in any country in the world. : They have been whirled around inside dummy cockpits so that their black-out times can be studied. Meanwhile, ten medical students at Sheffield University have been voluntarily undergoing tests to help research into how pain affects the functioning of the kidneys. ting a stricture around a student's arm_to stop the flow of blood. He was then. told to move his arm about as best he could. This caused very severe pain, but the students endured it from be- tween seven and thirteen minutes A qualified. doctor tried the tests on himself first to find oyt how painful they were. In the big hospitals of Great Britain there are young men work. ing in the laboratories while all around them are dangerous dis- eases bottled in test tubes. Every day these men risk their lives. Many have found out something | which has relidved untold suffer- ing, while the discoverer - himself has slowly become a viclim to the disease he has been fighting. Many have experimented on themselves and found secrets which have been hidden from science through the ages. Three Australian doctors have' just risked their lives to prove that a disease which was killing rabbits would not be dangerous in any way to human beings. The disease had been artificially introduced to combat the rabbit pest which is so rampant in Aus- tralia. It is called myxomatosis and it is proving the most lethal weap- on yet used against the rabbit, People who include rabbit flesh in their diets, however, became al- armed because, they reasoned, the flesh of a rabbit poisoned by myxo- matosis would be poisonous to hu- man beings, and might kill. 8 What's The Punch Line?--Weltérweight boxing whiz Chico Vejar listens closely as Prof. Randolph Somerville takes the 20-year-old actor-boxer through some lines at the School of Dramatic Arts, ) ¢ 7A A Sar CRI Like countless other citizens of this fair to cloudy country, we had always thought of canoeing as a sport which, if not exclusively Can- adian, was one in which Canadians excelled. Just why we should har- bor such a notion is a mystery, as we personally haven't set foot in a canoe or wielded a paddle since around the year when Hickory Jim was a weanling, which is quite a while back and no mistake about which the name Canada got a mere single mention, even if it did hap- pen to be canoc-sailing, which we recall from youthful days as a very sporty pastime especially if the young lady you took along as a "passenger didn't know how to swim. J » *® "Anyway, we learned from the afore-mentioned screed that the New York Canoe Club Cup, an in- ternational. challenge trophy for canoe sailing, -is to be raced for this summer -- if summer ever comes, that is. A United States challenge had - been recived - by the British holders of the trophy, and the niatch will come off at Aldeburgh, on the east coast of England, during the annual sailing weck of the Royal Canoe Club. a + It is understood challenge is to be headed by Mr. L. Whitman, a member of the com- pany that attempted to recover the trophy in 1948. That attempt, sail- ed off Hayling Isalnd ncar Britain's naval base at Portsmouth, was the first by U.S.A, since Britain took possession of what is the major prize in sailing-canocing. In 1936, however, the British successfully withstood a challenge from Canada through Gordon ~ Douglas of the Gananoque Club. : » . * The British came into possession of the N.Y. Canoe Club Cup at Bayside, Long Island, in 1933 when Roger de Quincy and Uffa Fox made history by taking the prize out of the U.S.A. for the first time, * » * All previous challenges from the time of the first in 1886 by the Britisher Warrington Baden Powell had been msuccessfully warded off. They were made in 1888, 1890, 1891, 1892, 1895, 1913, and 1914, Usually the races take place over a trian- gular course of about 4% mHes and a time limit of two hours is imposed, * * * The Royal Canoe Club which holds the trophy on behalf of Brit- ain and which promotes the annual sailing regatta is the oldest canoe club in the world, It was founded on July 26, 1865, at a meeting at the Star and Garter Hotel, Rich- mond-oy-Thames, called at the in- "British stigation of John Macgregor, This soldier - barrister - traveler- author was the pioneer of canoeing asa recreation. He developed the Rob Roy type of canoe to aid him in his travels throughout Europe and the Holy Land, . * + Where and when the canoe was born is shrouded in the mists of antiquity. The Lskimos and Amer- ican Indians have had them for centuries. But the British can justi- fiably claim credit for developing the art of paddling and sailing a canoe as a sport. They introduced it to the European continent soon after the formation of the Royal Canoe Club through two students By paddling a canoc across their country. * . N Today Sweden stands number one among the canoeing nations of the world. At the last Olympic Games, here in London in 1048, Sweden headed the unofficial rank- ing by nations and supplied the winners in the four kayak events for men, They inaugurated at Vax- holm -in 1938 the world champion- ships which have now become a firmly established feature of thé an- nual international sporting calen- dar. And in their capital city of Stockholm they house the head- quarters of the International Canoe Union in affiliation with which are more than 20 countries. * * . Trials-to select Britain's Olympic -- representatives will be held in June. Only those competitors considered likely tbe not outclassed will trav- el to Helsinki. The canoe events have heen arranged for July 28 and 29 following the conclusion of the rowing regatta at Taivallahti, a center only about three-quarters of a mile from the main Olympic sta- dium. For the first time since canoeing came into the Olympic Games in 1936 the course will be Yl salt water one. * * * The Finns themselves are among the newcomers to canoeing. Their oldest club is only 26 yéars of age and their national association was formed as recently as 1932, Today --there are 39 clubs with an approxi- mate membership of 4,000. * * * Finland's outstanding canoeist is Kurt Wires. He is one of the very few to hold a victory over Gert Fredericksson, Sweden's phenomen- al world champton. Wires has won numperous important internation- al races and was a silver-medalist in the Olympic 40,000-meter kayak singles in 1948, His compatriots on his home waters are looking to him for a silver-gilt medal this summer. eep or quiet the nerves when tense. $1.00 Drug Stores only! or Sedicin, Toronto 2. -- breeds for - Ako turkey poults, older pullets, started "with . discounts off Real 'Blind' Courage ------ 'Everybody who walks regularly along the Boulevard Saint Michel, Paris, knows Robert Defrance and his wife Christiana, For this de- voted pair are both blind, and every day they can be'seen walking slowly, sometimes hand in hand, along the boulevard, «+ They walk with -a certain confidence because the way is, so familiar to them.
