The change is praised by some but mourned by others as the pass-- ing of a British institution of half a century's standing. The salt is not marine--it is the sly innuendo of the millions of brightly - colored postcards vaca- tioners send home each year. They have become as much a part of a British beach vacation as sun tan ofl. Faced with mounting police pro- secutions against beach candy stores displaying his work, the man who turned a cartoon of a shapely blonde and a 10-wbrd in~ _|nuendo into a $1,000,000 industry |in hand bas decided to tame his products for the. BIG BUSINE Donald McGill, a primly-dressed man ne 80, first put the gar- ishly colo: cards on the market in 1904. Over the years, he has | designed about 12,000, selling more than 150,000,000 copies. The postcards are brightly-col- ored cartoons which sell most in the vacation atmosphere of Brigh- ton, Blackpool, Southend and a Jere of other British seaside re- sorts. DOUBLE MEANING The secret of the four-cent comic postcard's survival is the double- Jeaning usually put into their cap- on. Here is a tame' example: fat lady sitting on a thin bar stool, says to the barkeeper: "Give me a double, Bert. I've got dread- ful hangover this morning. Authorities have long been tol- erant toward the cards as a na- tional institution, preferring to see only the innocent side of the in. nuendo. But last summer, hand with an anti-vice camp- aign, there were more seaside pro- secutions than ever before. Thou-- sands of cards were UNLIKELY AUTHOR Few members of McGill's im- mense public know the name of the man behind their sniggers. An ex-newspaper artist put out of bus- iness by the invention of press Smutty Seaside Cards Are To Be Toned Down photography, he is an academic little man, not very much in-- terested in art. He prefers anthro- pology and astronomy. McGill is pleased that his best- seller--approaching . 2,000,000 cop- ies--was among the most innocent. It was the picture of a small girl saying her prayers with a puppy tugging at her nightdress. "please, Lord, 'excuse me a minute while I kick fido," said the caption. But the artist frankly admits that his "thick" jokes are his mainsay. Not all of his cards have a re- sort flavor. But whatever the loc- ation, the characters always re- main the same. There is the fat lady, the red-nosed man in a straw hat--and, of course, the volumin- ouse blonde in inadequate clothes. An Oxford professor has com- ared his characters with those of hakespeare. The late George Or- well, author of "Animal Farm" and "1984," wrote an erudite es- say praising McGill's art as a true and rare expression of British working class humor. By DAVE STOCKAND Canadian Press Staff Writer ATIKOZAN, Ont. (OP) When "mining township A kokan looks into the future, which is often, it sees itself as a city. In the 10 years since the iron slapped this northwestern Ontario community from its slumber as a raflway hamlet the population has spiralled from 300 to more than 4,500, and Atikokan says this is just a start. Streets are unpaved and all the plumbing hasn't been brought in- | doors yet; but the iron ore they're digging from the bottom of Steep Rock lake, four an annual pa es away, means of $4,500,000 ings in wages total under present production, with 1,250,000 tons of ore shipped this season by Steep Rock Iron Mines Ltd. BIG WORKING FORCE Mining that much iron ore took more 1,000 workers, under plans mapped by Steep Rock and Caland Ore Co. Ltd., Canadian sub- sidiary of Inland Steel of Chicago, the need for men will shoot up- ward. By 1958 Steep Rock plans to boost its annual haul to 8,500,000 tons, and says the need will be for 2,500 workers. The Caland mine, expected to take out its first ore in 1960 will produce, 3,- 000,000 tons a year when fully de- At least that is what the earn- |! Atikokan's business picture for the last year is described by Neil Edmonstone, Stee] treasurer, as f. static. "But," he says, "with the Inland arrival I think there will be an- other upsurge in the mercantile development of the town." Figures aside, say the people of Atikokan, it's a good place to live. TOP BIRTH RATE As for the needs of Atikokan-- pavement is just one of they multiply as the creases. And townsfolk boast that Atikokan had Canada's highest birth rate last year and talk of a Popuition of 16,000 in the early Atikokan is turning miners into merchants. Gordon Edwards, a Steep Rock man and president of the Atikokan Chamber of Com- merce, says 'it wouldn't be exag- gerating' to put at approximate! 15 the number of men who have gone into business for themselves after starting out at the mine. He tells of one man who came here with a packsack full of cos- tume jewelry. Not long after that he threw up a shack, first busi- ness establishment, and today owns a prosperous hardware store. Of Atikokan Mr. Edwards says: "Sure, it's a ghoday looking place, but it won't be a few years from now. There isn't a thing you've got in the city that we aren't going to need here."

D IONAL POINT Atikokan got its first boost when it became a Canadian National Railways divisional point in 1900.

Just about that time citizens will mark the official opening of the first road link with Fort - liam and Port Arthur. Next, Ati- kokan will press for a road west- ward to the pulp and paper town of Fort Frances. Atikokan is becoming a townshi instead of a town for financi reasons: If it became a town, the mine would be outside the taxa- tion district and Atikokan wouldn't be eligible for a share of the mining tax collected by the On- tario government. veloped.

Definite not, say such thoughtful veterans as Sam Gold- wyn, Jean Hersholt, Walt Disney and Hal Roach. It is the end of wonderful era, but movieland's fu- ture--now that it is approaching maturity--is ater than ever. Hollywood figured if one movie made one million, 50 would make 50 million. And, b golly, it was right. The big studios ground out a picture a week. Some of these made many millions. Not so long ago, Hollywood felt the vein of gold would never play out. Today a lot of folks are won- dering what hit them. A mere discerning public, with other forms of entertainment to take their time and money, gave Hollywood the answer. It said, by sta away from B pictures, that it didn't want any more such tripe.

A good story well told will hold your int- erest even on a 17-inch screen. What has happened to all of the talent that used to make the hun- dreds and hundreds of potboilers? Much of it isn't working. Some of it has turned to television, at greatly reduced rates. * Only the sure-fire box-office stars can get roles. Only the ablest writers are working. % Producing companies formed by individuals--like Humphrey Bo-- art's, which has made a half ozen good Pictures, Jacluding "African Queen," make s for a million that would cost the big studios two or three times that. There is no doubt that before long most pictures will be made by small producing units, headed by a star and a director. They will film only quality pictures from successful stories or plays or, if originals, containing elements that are bound to please the masses. DIRE PREDICTIONS Dire predictions have been made about the future of the movie house. The best opinion is that thousands more theatres. in fringe areas will close, but this will little affect the already altered economy of Hollywood. At first we didn't believe it eith- ¢r; but we checked, and it's true: the custom of sending Christmas cards to friends is less than 100 years old! The first publicly accepted card was sent out in 1862 by Charlesy Goodal. and Sons, London publish- ers. And -- to show how rapidly the custom has grown, this year GIFT OF SERVICE A clock radio -- is a gift of service and entertainment, both!

Christmas Card Custom Barely A Century Old the post offices of the land will be flooded by a Niagara of two billion or more cheery (yule) greetings! The first known card of kind was designed in 1842 in on by William Maw Egley, a sixteen- year-old engraving . apprentice. II- lustrations on card were scenes of a formal banquet, a party dance, and skaters. Under- neat the illustrations appeared the legend: "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You," still the most popular Yuletide Greet-- ing of all. In 1846, Sir Henry Cole asked his artist friend, J. C. Horsely fo design a card for him, a family vetting glasses of wine Tem groups took a meager w of these cards, and Sir Henry never again seit another k thograph shop. Famous for their beau and craftsmanship, they were sold all over the United States. Since that time, the cus-- tom of sen Christm has become a fundamental, popu- lar holiday tradition.
