EE --_-- a 414 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, June 25, 1953 Curbing Foot-and-Mouth Cost Over $25,000,000 DYSART, Sask. (CP)--Agricul- ture Minister Gardiner says estim- ates for his department hit a high of "74,000,000 last year and 'he ost of flgning the foot-and-mouth dis- ease outbreak among Saskatch- ewan livestock boosted the final total expenditure to more than $100,000,000. This amount, Mr. Gardiner told an election campaign rally of 300 persons here Tuesday night, was the most money spent on agricul- ture in Canada's history. The Jriculture minister coffed at opposition charges that Canada haa lost her markets. "It's strange," he said, "that n this country you can sell your f, pork and butter at the highest prices in the world and other nro- ducts at comparative prices, and still be told you have no markets." He said 75 per cent of Canada's population now wag able to purch- ase these agriculture commodities at the prices asked for them. Two Polish Officers Jumped Their LONDON (Reuters)--Britiah au- thorities today granted political asylum to the medical officer of the . Polish liner Batory, who jutiped ship in an Epglish port ast Saturday with his captain. No ruling has yet been made in the case of captain, Jan Cwiklinski, 53. He is being held in jail here pending a décision by the home office. The two men were missing from Ship the Pride of the Polish merchant marine when she sailed Saturday from Newcastle-on-Tyne, where $e had been undergoing a refit- ing. - The desertion of the medical officer, identified as a Dr. Tak- laeter, soon became known, but it was not until Tuesday night that word leaked out about Cwiklinski. The Batory sailed with her first officer in charge. SLAP KILLED BABY BUFFALO, N.Y. (CP) -- Ernest Pearson, 25, was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison for slapping a 14-month-old baby girl so hard that she died. The child had been left .in his car by her mother. The | judge, in.sentencing Pearson, said: ' "If you are going to blow your top every once in a while, you might kill someone else." Henry Brooke, Irish writer who died in 1783, produced a poem in six volumes called "universal beauty."

(CP)--The gov- ernment of Michigan Wednesday granted t to Lakehead Pipe Line Co., to lay a [ipelite {for the supply of crude oil to re- fineries in Sarnia, Ont. The easement did not include, as suggested by the city of De- troit, a stipulation that the com- pany force Sarnia refineries to in- stall equipment for the disposal of waste. The city has charged that waste is being expelled into the St. Clair river and is polluting the city water supply. Sarnia is about 55 miles |northeast of Detroit. The pipeline will supply oil from Superior, Wis.,, and will run through Michigan to Port Huron and across the St. Clair river to Sarnia. : Kinsey And Christine Have Talks BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP)-- Christine Jorgenson, former sol- dier who underwent surgery for sex change, was reported in Bloom- ington today, the home city of Dr. Alfred Kinsey, Indiana university professor and author of books on sexual behavior. The Bloomington Herald- Telephone said it learned Jorgen- son arrived in Bloomington Mon- day by airplane and was met at the airport by one of Dr. Kinsey's secretaries. Among the thousands of Cor- onation souvenirs offered for sale, from beer mugs, candy-box tops, baby's bibs with the royal insignia, to service plates to be put in the china closet and never taken out, nothing is more appealing than a paperweight of glass or crystal, with a portrait of Her Majesty »eneath it, William Chapman 'White writes in the New York Herald Tribune. Some of the paperweights are carefully carved and are works of art. They are offered at $20 for one, not per gross. UNESSENTIAL ITEM Now, a man might pay that price for a spinning rod or even for two tickets for a hit play, but quotations on paperwel ghts are not common, $20 seems high for something designed for the job of holding down paper, a job which a hunk of crowbar can do as well. At least the paperweight is back. People who do not think about such things probably didn't even notice that it had gone. Just where did it go, anyway? The paperweight is probably the best symbol in the world of per- manence. It never wears out at its work and, being rarely used for that work, it wears out even less. As only one knows who has stud- ied. the evolution of the paper- weight, from prehistoric times when the handiest piece of rock served the purpose well, they went quite a long way. There used to be those rounded hunks of glass with a fine picture of Niagara Falls, Plymouth Rock or Mount Vernon pasted beneath. There were those that had in- tricate glass flowers worked into them. There were those that were little globes; inside was a Swiss chalet and some liquid which, when shaken, produced a snow storm, GIFTS FROM ABROAD If any nephew as much as whis- pered that he collected paper- weights, that was what aunts and uncles brought him from their journeys. Even if he hadn't the faintest interest in paperweights, that was the souvenir he was liable to get from the same travel- ers on the grounds that it was + Paperweight Regaining Public Popularity harmless, didn't make a noise, couldn't cut him, and couldn't be tied to a dog's tail. These fancy paperweights Were never used for paperweighting. They went on the parlor table, to lie beside the vase with the straw flowers in it. Today they are gone, as is the parlor. Gone are the straw flow- ers, the burnt-leather mementoes of Ocean Grove and other seaside resorts and the artfully worked pictures burned on wood. ! Those things were fragile and | probably got tossed into a waste can. It is hard to believe that the prized paperweights were tossed out in the rubbish when it came time to break up the old home and to dispose of the goods. If so, the trash dumps of America must be built on a thick foundation of pavervelgnta, for they were un- reakable and indestructible. Now along comes a paperweight as a souvenir of the Coronation and no velvet table cover on the parlor table to put it on, no piece of polished petrified rock from the time Cousin Nina went to Arizona, no large family Bible near by. In fact, no parlor. . CLEAN DESKS This may mean that the new issue of paperweights will be carted to the office and put to honest work. Even there they may find it hard to be useful. Accord- ing to all the pictures shbwn in Big Business advertising, the mod- ern executive is a man with a large, clear, clean desk without a paper on it. A paperweight on that shining expanse would stick out like a glassy boil. As for those underlings whose desks are piled with papers and do all the work, they don't deserve a $20 paperweight, when an em- ty bottle will keep everything in its disordered order. : The fate of the paperweight in the office is probably to be stuck into a desk drawer, there to repose with the hand-tooled letter openers, and fountain pens that don't write, and those gadgets sent unsolicited by deserving charities with a note: "Please send a dollar for this trinket and support (a) a worthy charity) (b) a large staff lam CIRCULAR AIRSHADE AWNINGS TYP PROVIDE all weather pro- tection for your porches, doorways and steps.

The existing system is regarded as virally unbeatable, either by voters or by candidates and their supporters. The form of the ballot, and the way it is handled, are part ol a scheme designed to block any form of manipulation. The ballot, which comes i» book form, is made up of three parts: A stub, a counterfoil and the bal- lot proper with the names of the candidates. Each ballot has to be initialled by the deputy returning officer in a poll. : VOTING PROCEDURE When the elector comes in to vote, the DRO rips from the book and hands him the ballot with counterfoil attached. After the ballot is marked, the DRO, before dropping it into the box, checks his initial on the back of the sheet and makes sure the number on the counterfoil tallies with that on the stub. The identifying counterfoll is torn off before the bo'lot goes into | the box. ties in each poll double-check these precautions.

In short, the paperweight has no future, unless they design one that will hold odd rubber bands, pencils and paper clips and be use- ful at the office Christmas party.
