She loves her grandchildren, but she impqgses her own way despite their ordered routine. "She wakes my baby out of a sound sleep to rock him. She tells me what to feed him, though she knows 1 follow our doctor's prescribed diet; she even disagrees with me as to his clothing. "She complained to my hus- band that I was stingy with the baby, s6 I let her have him for rR day. She fed him indigestible and he was sick for four days. This didn't seem to_annoy my husband; he almost always sides with her, RUINS FAMILY LIFE : "No matter what we have: planned for a holiday together; she insists on- gathering the whole family at her home.

PIE-EYED PIGEON Brewer's draymen unloading some barrels of beer from their van into the cellar of a Wareham pub had the misfortune to knock out a bung and quite a quantity of the beer flowed into the gut- ter before it could be up-ended. Later an inquisitive pigeon sam- pled the frothing overflow and apparently found it to its liking.

No obstacle - is insurmountable, : Perhaps the .rules of the game are waived or /stretched a little in the process, but no matter.

Without incurring any penalties a player is permitted to lift any ball resting in a hip- po's footmark and drop it be- "hind the obstacle. - The author's love of rivers led him to the Mississippi. and to a lesser-known spot called Gee's. Bend. Here, he found a simple but reli.ious community, Because of inbreeding the vil- lagers had few surnames -- per- haps four or five in all. Among themselves they used a few Christian names, Tom, Edward . and Andrew divided among the men, Bella, Sarah and Kate by the womenfolk. All very confusing 'perhaps when wanting one particular but the villagers had sion, They simply added. letters of the alphabet after their names. Thus, says Gordon Cooper, there would be in one family a Tom- C, Tom-K, Ed-F, and Ed-M.

"There aren't half enough men to go round," she pouted. Then 2n idea struck her, Be- fore her friends could stop her, she rushed to a telephone, rang "up the local fire brigade and in- vited everyone along. Politely but firmly, the fire- men refused 'to come. So ten minutes later the girl rang up the fire station again, this time * calling them out on a fire alarm. The sequel? The girl had to. pay a fine of $15 and was ordered to pay the cost of the turn-out! It's amazing what a woman | will do to get a man! One blonde; who loved a man who had been jailed: for four years: for stealing cheque forms ---belonging-to her; scraped- togeth- - er her hard-earned savings, took - them to a solicitor and. pleaded with him to get the man raleased --somehow. - +. "She put the solicitor in funds. ! so that this application could be made for the man's release," ex- plained his counsel He: added that the woman wanted to marry . the man who had wronged her. But the application failed. Even more determined to get . her man was an eighteen-year- old, sloe-eyed Italian girl, whose lover had walked out sn her, slamming the door. As he reached the street, he heard a.-shout and saw the shape- ly form of the girl he had just left falling from a second-floor window. He rushed forward and just managed to catch her in his arms before she hit the pavement. "They rolled over on the ground together. They were taken to. hospital with minor injuries and later that night kissed dnd made it up. "I've. won back my man, nurse," confided the girl to the matron before leaving ' hospital with him next day. She certainly fell for him! In a Yorkshire church just twenty -years ago the bell tolled once, The surprised vjcar went from his vicarage to investigate. . There he saw a woman, a stranger to him, kneeling at th altar. Spon after a man, ulso stranger to him, 'entered th church and ldoked round. H went to the kneeling: woma and said: "I am here, darling!" The pair conversed in whis- pers before the altar, happy in their reunion. 'And the vicar heard the" woman say, "I for- .give," as she, kissed him :over and over again. Later the couple told him that 'they had married in "the church many years be- + fore but there had been a mutual separation. But" the woman 'made the stipulation that if ever she felt disposed to forgive, she would make a sign on the anniversary of their wedding by tolling the bell once. Fpr several years she had goné on: their anniversary and tolled the bell, but her man had. not come till now. He had long before moved away from - the district, leaving no address, but some strange, impelling in- stinct had' made him jourhey many miles in case the bell toll- ed that night, : "5 The couple, still only middle- aged, left for a second honey- _ moon, When she saw her handsome young husband standing in the ° dock 'and facing imprisonment as a result of per prosecution, a.

Turning to the husband he added: "Your wife is deeply infatuated with you." Even your shoddy treatment has not killed her love." "Wives have braved death and . starvation to be near their hus- bands. There was a woman in the first world war who dodged officials, stowed away in a troop- ship and got up to the. front- line trenches because she feared her husband would be killed. She turned up, disguised as a was putting over a barrage and a shell burst very near her. She ing shipped back to Britain.

This will be joined to the 800 miles : laid last summer, and will com- ° plete the renewal of the cable, maintained by Cable and Wire- less Ltd, between Porthcurno, near Land's End, and Newfound- "| land. * The old cable was laid in 1874 and went out of use in 1943, It is estimated that the renewal operation will: cost $6,000 and that it will enable cable ;/ . traffic on this route to be in- " creased by 70 per cent. : The 8050-ton "Monafch™ is ~the largest and most up-to-date "cable ship in the world. She can carry up to 2,600 rauticalimiles 'of -cable in. her four cylindrical tanks, which have a total cap-. acity of 125,000 cubic feet. Cable ships must remain at sea for long periods and hence carry enormous amounts of fuel, stores and water. Five thousand tons of cable, 2,000 tons of fuel, and 1,000 tons of water may easily be disposed of "on voy- age," so that special arrange- . ments are made to maintain the stability of the unloaded ships, Most cable ships are small, about 1,500 tons. They are readi- ly manoeuvrable in restricted waters -and can steam: as little as "one knot .when required.' Much of their, time is spent in repair. ing damaged cables. They are officially entitled H. M. Telegraphic Ships, and fly the Blue Ensign with their own "crest.
