It is not t! e with razor blades. To me the dif- ference is thi one reguuaes money; the other time and effort." The professor then said he had accumulated 1,200 different kinds of Spanish blades. He remarked that perhaps Germany and Czecho- Slovakia manufactured more dif- ferent kinds of blades than any other country in Europe. FitzGib- bon said his collection included 20 Russian made blades, adding that nationalization of Soviet industry has limited the variety of blades put on the market, FitzGibbon's favorite items are two Japanese blades, which he con- siders genuine rarities. "One of them has three cutting edges, the other has four," Fitz- Gibbon said. Incidentally, both FitzGibbon and Serra use electric razors.

SMALL FRY He theorized that American po- | liticos probably figure their audi- ences wouldn't sit through lesser oratory after hearing a bigwig speak--thus leaving the small fry | facing a lot of empty seats. "Canadians must have a greater capacity for courtesy or a greater capacity to stand punishment," Dewey added, as e Canadian crowd laughed. = | | Prime Minister Frost of Ontario ! had this to say about Dewey on | the dedication day: i "May I thank Governor Dewey, as a great American and a good neighbor, for his part in the ac- complishment so far which cul- minated in this day. But for the | power project the seaway project | could not be." *And the Canadian erowd ap- peared to like Dewey, who spoke in his friendliest informal manner. | His black hair and bristly mous- | tache made the governor look | youthful--he is 52--amid the grey- | headed Canadian leaders. | $1500 OCEAN STATIONS The United States maintains two ocean stations in the Pacfic to. aid weather and navigation studies, says the National Geographic Society.
