The Pennsylvania Superior Court up- held a divorce granted to a man who said this wife accused him of running around with other women on his nickel-a-day allowance. Kenneth Pore, a 3z year-old erane operator from Fairhope, Pa., testified at his divorce hearing that his 29-year-old wife, Dolores, gave him 25 cents a day. Pore said he used 20 cents for transportation to and from work. He claimed his wife falsely ac- cused him of spending the remain- ing five cents to "run around with other women." i PANAMA (AP) -- Panamanians are such ardent gamblers that even instalment plan buying is pegged to the government's week- ly lottery. You want to buy a $100 radio on time. You sign up to pay $10 4 week for 18 weeks. That amounts to considerably more than the orig- inal $100 price. But the lottery gimmick brings in customers by the droves. REGINA (CP)--Residents here have been told not to worry if they see one-legged robins bobbin' about the back garden. Fourteen of the one-legged birds have been released by the Western Humane Society this year after having a leg amputated. Society "inspector Jack Stud- holme, says robins 'have a habit of "nests. Some birds become entangled and occasionally break a leg. {Mr. Studholme says only three of the openations this year have failed. TALARA, Perw (AP) -- If you have trouble getting out of a sand trap, pity the poor duffers who play the Talara Golf Club. It is all sand -- 5,823 yards of the stuff. The tees, fairways, roughs and greens are sand. Actually it is a-nine-hole course made into 18 holes by having two tees for each hole. It was built for its employees by an oil company that has hundreds of workers. Club rules permit a golfer to improve his lie by smoothing out the ground and moving the ball not over six inches. Even on the greens it is permissible to smooth out the sand and move the ball not over six inches to get away from the track left by another ball. One nice thing about it. Every- body can afford a caddy. They get 20 cents for nine holes or 40 cents for 18 holes. Nobody ever asks for advice on what club to use. The caddies hear the constant refrain: "Give me the wedge boy." GLEICHEN, Alta., (CP)--How many Blackfeet make.up.a Blaek- foot Indian tribe? Several persons who have stud- ied the question of which is the correct name for the tribe in southern Alberta have failed to meach a conclusive answer.

The provincial government rc- ported both usages are accepted but that the weight of popular sup- ' port is on the side of "Blackfeet." _ plaques. reported a list of refer- "ences showed 20. authorities for | "Blackfeet" and seven for "Black- foot", and many gave both. WADENA, Sask.,-(CP) -- Mrs. _ Alex Tait's canary, blind in one eye and not as chipper as he used to be, celebrated his 21st birthday .,jpecently. Dickie, the long-lived bird, is not very active but his age isn't betrayed by his feathers. They have become even more colorful in 'the last few years. Dickie still gives a morning _ chirp when he wants to eat but _ he stays away from the high notes of his youth. He and Mrs. Tait Ns ee a The Haileyburian Thursday, June 18, 1959 when she chats with him. Mrs. Tait gives her pet the yolk of a hard boiled egg each morning and keeps his dish filled with bird treat. Cuttle bone and soda biscuits also are on Dickie's menu. KANSAS CITY (AP) -- A dis- tant relative of the old Dalton gang of frontier days celebrated his 73rd birthday recently. Roy Dalton is a sheriff's deputy but doesn't try to hide his relation- ship to the outlaw family. "Ym not particularly proud of it," he says. "But then maybe they wouldn't think much of my heing on the side of the law." LONDON (AP) -- Evangelist Billy Graham complained Monday that London's parks look more like bedrooms than places where you feed the ducks. "I was so embarrassed I tvok my wife out of them," the evange- list told a press conference. Graham related how he and his wife encountered dozens of smooching couples "lying around" during their evening stroll through several city parks. 'J could hardly believe my eyes," he said.

"Where else but to a father, who knows that every son is a miracle, like daily light. : The emotions of being a father never change. They flow from well-springs deep-within-us, as old-and changeless.as instinct. itself. More than anything else Fatherhood is guidance and wisdom -- the wisdom of setting-a good example in thought, in word, in deed. And one principle that surely deserves \to be exemplified is the practice of Modera- tion in all things. It is this thought which The House of Seagram wishes to leave with you on this Father's Day, 1959. May it enrich your life with hap- piness, and your son's thereafter.
