Rowell, in The London Free Press, is not as common as it once was in the early farming dis- trict. He writes: Quaint customs of the rural countryside existed many years ago that today have largely died out. One of these was the "shiva- ree" that frequently greeted, some times terrified, a newly married couple on their arrival home. The | name as it was pronounced was a corruption of the word "chari- vari." y If the house was left unguarded during the wedding festivities else where, the newlyweds might ar- rive home to find the chimney stuffed with leaves, the pump wir- ed up so it would not work, small outbuildings overturned and other evidences of prankish vandalism. SOMETIMES BROKEN NOSES Sometimes the charivari party off with food and drink; some- times stalwart young friends of the bride and groom would offer battle and broken noses would be counted as a result. "PROTECTION" Often if -a "shivaree" were anti- cipated some trusted member of the family remained on guard with | a shotgun and a couple of reliable | watch dogs. In one case the writer recalls there was only a gentle collie and a couple of small boys staying with the groom's sister. But the boys had some firecrack- | ers to play with and it so happened | that just about the time the collie dog gave alarm the small boys chanced to set off some giant fire- s. | crackers. It got around next day that the groom had a man with a shotgun guarding his premises. One of the meaner stunts of a charivari party was to wire up the gates so that the newlyweds would have a lot of trouble driving into their home. A still meaner stunt was to string wires across the lane but things like this were frowned upon and the guilty parties got in bad for a long time. Outside of the noise made with shotguns, horns, cow-bells, tin pans and even drums, the stunts of a charivari party often were along the same line as that of Hallowe'en only that they seldom indulged in pranks so laborious as the hal- low'en parties often were guilty of, such as putting heavy gates and farm wagons up on the roof of a high barn. There was much less work involved in wiring up the gate. PRIMITIVE CUSTOM The origin of the wedding chari- vari can be traced back to the marriage customs of primitive peoples and in varying forms it exists today among some Romany tribes and many Central Europens peoples. In the wedding customs of many races there is a pretence made of trying to take the bride away from the groom. The wom- en friends of the bride make a pretence of kidnapping her and the groom's friends endeavor to |drag him away for another drink or a few more hours of freedom and bachelor carousel. Planes Continue Battle SEUL O(AP)--Allied Sabre jet fighter-bombers and light bombers took over the battle for Korea's barren hills today and slammed tons of high explosives into Com- munist frontline positions. As ground fighting tapered off along the devastated 155-mile front, U. S. 5th air force- planes struck the Reds at frontal areas where heavy action erupted last week. Sabres hit Chinese trenches in the Kymsong area of the east- the men was that each had at least one "chopper" flight during the ex- ercise, and a chance to learn about aircraft previously seen only evac- uating casualties. They learned that it costs $300 an hour to operate a helicopter, that for every hour in flight it needs six in maintenance, that the cost of the rotor blade alone is that of a small luxury automobile. They learned, too, that weather affects helicopter efficiency. On a hot, humid day helicopters have trouble lifting. MADE 1,135 LIFTS In three days "Skyhook" saw a total of 1,135 lifts and 474 tons of | supplies carried. Besides meeting such situations | as the marooning of a formation, helicopters could be used, for in- stance, to fly in mass reinforce- ments or supplies to a threatened forward area, to round up "strag- glers" and return them to the front, to evacuate casualties. In planned operations, after an air drop of paratroops, helicopters might lift in successive waves until central front and eight B-26s hurled 1,000-pound bombs on Red positions near Old Baldy in west Korea. Auto Output Shows Gain WINDSOR -- Canadian automo- bile factories turned out 8,996 cars {and 2,382 trucks last week, accord- ing to Ward's Automotive Reports. This compares with 6,560 and 1,926 in four days' the previous week and 7,121 and 1,824 in the like week a year ago. Production in the U.S. was up 15 per cent above a week ago des- pite 'no production by Nash or Kaiser in the current period. There were 133,557 cars produced against 116,488 last week when the holiday shortened the work week to four days. U.S. truck output of 21,870 was up 41 per cent from 15,517 a week ago and more than double the 10,- 195 built in the like week a year ago. Stage E xXercise In Bush Country PETAWAWA, Ont.--Field training for four Ontario Reserve Army armored regiments that arrived here re- cently began at dawn on J uly 6 with the roar of tank engines and the booming crack of 76-millimetre guns. SPIRITS HIGH ' An all night rain, Sunday, failed to dampen the spirits of more than 300 men from Toronto, Oshawa and London who made the trip to camp. At least one regiment, the 1st Hussars, from London, Ont., slept out all night in the open so as to get an early start on the tank range Monday morning. Members of the 19th Armoured Brigade, a Reserve Army forma- tion with headquarters in Toronto, they ignored the weather and ap- peared to have eyes only for the 40 big Sherman tanks allotted them for the duration of their stay at Petawawa. Other units in the brigade, in addition to the 1st Hussars, are the Governor General's Horse Guards (3rd Armoured Regiment), Toronto; The Queen's York Rang- ers (25th Armoured Regiment;, Toronto, and The Ontario Regi- ment (11th Armoured Regiment) Dghiawa, : Commander of the brigade is pig. G. D. de S. Wotherspoon, DSO, ED, of Toronto. PLEASED WITH PROGRAM Tank crews of all four regiments were particularly pleased with the training program mapped out for them by Brig. Wotherspoon's staff and camp training officers. The program left little room for lec- tures or parades and called for the Brews to spend almost all their n the ranges, on with their tan pig S, or on driving id * and wireless practice "runs" in the field. Gunners grinned when they found out that the brigade had been allotted almost 2,000 rounds of armour-piercing, high explosive {and smoke shells for their 76-mm guns and 24,000 rounds for their .30 czlibre guns. The 1st Hussars, commanded by Lt-Col. A. E. Shepherd, were giv- en the first chance on the tank range Monday morning and were followed that afternoon by Lt.-Col. J. D. Crashley's Governor Gen- eral's Horse Guards. GOT THEIR CHANCE The Ontario Regiment, under command of Lt.-Col. A. G. Coulter and the Queen's York Rangers, commanded by Lt.-Col. J. F. West- jead, MBE, got their chance later in the week. Wednesday and Thursday the en- tire brigade participated in a two- day training exercise staged in rolling bush country. Tank crews lived in and fought mock battles from their tanks. Friday, after further exercises, all units of the brigade will return their tanks to the camp tank pool and begin shining up for a cere- monial inspection and march past of the entire brigade Saturday morning. Brig. Wotherspoon will take the salute during the march past. All ranks will return to their home stations Saturday and Sun- ay. Henry Bircham Wins Legion Auto It was late Saturday night in the Bircham home, 199 Court Street. The telephone sounded and dis- turbed Henry, the head of the house. One of his friends from Fittings Ltd. was calling to tell him he had just wone the Legion's car draw. "I didn't believe him," Henry said. "I thought he was just fool- ing." However, he admitted later in a good natured way that he had been buying tickets on draws long enough "to pay for two cars." On this particular car, a two- toned blue 1953 Chevrolet sedam, he had six tickets. It was one of these that Mayor W. J. Naylor picked from the big cage-drum, thus giving Mr. Bircham the right to buy the vehicle for $1. Before introducing the Mayor at the Street Fair on Saturday night, William Beaton, Legion pres- ident, gave a brief address, He termed the fair 'a huge success' and thanked the public for their: splendid support. It was then that Mayor Naylor pulled Bircham"s ticket. Henry will receive the car officially in a special ceremony tonight. _ "I don't know whether I'll drive it myself or sell it," he said. . At any rate he's not complain- ing -- certainly not!
