Nikita Khrushchev got stuck in an elevator at the extremely cap- italistie Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York and had to climb five flights to his suite. The Soviet premier, grinningly called it "a capitalistic malfunction," but he apparently hadn't been reading Izvestia lately. Here is what the Soviet govern- ment newspaper said about Soviet elevators last May 29: "Vertical transportation is caus- ing people more trouble than any form of transport on a horizontal level. "Many elevators in Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Kharkov and Tif- lis are made on a long ago outdat- ed pattern. "They are often out of function. You step in and you can't get down. You wait and it. never comes." Moreover said the paper, it is not only old elevators which do not work -- the new ones are not much better. LAKEFIELD -- A party of Ak- ron, Ohio, anglers reported a new twist in the classic fishing story: The fish hooked the fisherman. The party went out in a motor- boat on Upper Stony Lake near this Kawartha Lakes district village 20 miles north of Peterborough, Char- les J. Wagner, Jr. hooked into a large muskie. The fish flipped and a loose hook on the lure tore into Dale Grove's knee and stuck there. The fish got away. Later, as the men drove to a doctor's office, Mr. Wagner ran into a herd of pigs belonging to farmer Eric Batten and killed one of them, LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Long Beach residents complained to po- lice'that a drunken bey was riding his bicycle on the sidewalk, crash- ing into pedestrians. Officers pick- ed up a slender boy of ten and turned him over to juvenile au- thorities. They said he made only one remark: "More wine." MILLBROOK -- When school- teacher Harvie Armstrong decided to go into the newspaper business, he didn't count on all the problems. As a result, a recent edition of the weekly-Millbrook Reporter al- most didn't come out and when it did appear during the week-end, three of its four pages appeared almost blank. "The old editor kept the ma- chines together with bailing wire for 22 years," said Armstrong, "I slipped up on a few of the tricks." On the blank pages, Armstrong threw in headlines to keep up the interest. 'Machines pine for for- mer, owner" said one. Another ites "But one of these days we'll somehow manage to send a whole paper on time.'"' t COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- A coin - operated "drunk-o;meter"' which will tell tipsy motorists whether it's safe to drive has been invented by a Swedish engineer. The Danish newspaper Dagens Nyheder described the machine, called the "alcolwx", which is be- ing studied by Swedish police for possible installation in public plac- es. If the motorist is sober enough, he puts a coin in the machine and! f#widdles a series of knobs and dials which tells "'alcolex" how much pore satan eat? ~ has drunk and for how long, as well as his age and weight. The newspaper did not say how anybody unfit to drive could oper- ate the machine. WASHINGTON -- After touring the recent United States exhibition in Moscow, some Russians wrote their reactions in a special guest book, On one page, according to di- rector George VY. Allen of the U.S. Information Agency, one Russian commented: "Fine exhibit, but we are going to by-pass you soon." Another Russian wrote immedi- ately underneath: "Please let me off as you pass by. LONDON -- Shirley Roberts came home from Montreal to up- hold a family tradition. For the last 150 years every member of her family has been christened, married and buried in St. Alfege's Church in the south- east borough of Greenwich, where she lived until she went to Canada a year ago to take a job as a sec- retary. % So 24-year-old Shirley brought home her fiance last month to keep the record straight. She and Henry Curtis, a 23-year-old Mc- Gill University law student, were married at St. Alfege's and went off on a Scottish honeymoon be- fore returning to Montreal to set up housekeeping. GUELPH -- A _ nine-year-old Guelph boy was asked to stand up in class to answer a question. But Wayne Devine couldn't stand up. His finger was caught in a hole in his desk. Guelph firemen worked half an hour with vaseline, a chisel, saw and portable drill before Wayne and the desk separated. Except for a swollen and sore finger, he was able to join his classmates for recess at St. Jo- seph's Separate School. CARIO -- The huge sail boats called feluccas that have plied the waters of the Nile since the days of Cleopatra now may be moving toward the end of their days. The Egyptian government is building a fleet of steel barges at a cost of $3,300,000 to transport iron ore from Aswan in upper Egypt to.an iron and steel factory on the banks of the Nile near Cario. Up to now, feluccas have been used to carry the ore along the 500-mile Nile route in exactly the way ancient Egyptians transported granite blocks to build the pyra- mids 5,000 years ago. The -ancient Egyptians got their granite from the Aswan region. The iron and steel factory, the first established in an Arab coun- |try, consumes 700,000 toms of iron ore a year. Feluccas transport half this amount. The rest is car- ried by trains. When the new fleet consisting of 60 barges is completed, the fac- tory's entire iron ore consumption will. be transported along the wa-} terway. LONDON -- Britons were. warn- ed that their green and pleasant Jandis in danger of being trans- formed into a vast omelet. . The egg marketing board said the nation's hens have been guilty of flagrant over-production. In a single week they turned out 17,000,- 000 more eggs than in the corres- ponding week of last year. A spokesman credited -- or blamed -- new techniques in keep- ing and feeding poultry for the spectacular increase. But he was unhappy about the effect on ege | Prices. Trade agreements prevent the board from finding a market abroad. And how many eggs can an ACWW Conference Continuing with the report of the ACWW conference, we will proceed on the tour of the Clyde to the Kyles of Bute. All along the banks of the river the Scot- tish hills rise majestically, the purple bloom of the acres and acres of heather merging and blending with the green forest and stately cliffs, and in the most unexpected places, a white cot- tage or a series of tourists cabins wi}l pop into view. A stop of an hour at Dumoon gave the oppor- tunity of seeing the. statue of Burns' Highland Mary, high on a hill overlooking the lochs she lov- ed. Tuesday's session was an inter- esting one with discussion groups on Pen Friends and friendship links and exchange programs. I was rather disappointed to learn that many members and branches in Canada and the U. S. were not keeping up the contacts made with the overseas branches. They start a corespondence with enthusiasm, then seem to lose interest. It was advised that every branch have an International chairman and hold an International Day. It was really amazing to hear what some countries do on their International Day, such as wearing the costume of other country, singing their songs, preparing some of their national dishes to serve at 'the close of the meeting. The exchange programs reports were wonderful. Some of the things they did were exchange rec- ipes, (and samples of cookies, candy and fruit cake,) scrapbooks, music and songs. One branch in the U.S. collects 'Pennies for Friendship" on their International Day. In the afternoon a short bus tour took us to the Scott and Stevenson The board sent a circular to all egg producers asking them to per- suade their hens to lay off. LEAMINGTON SPA, England -- Health authorities here ruled that keeping a horse in a house is a statutory nuisance." Notice was served on Mrs. Bridie O'Hare, 20, ordering her to remove her black hunter mare, Smokey, from her house here. She did so, deciding to sell her. She also was told to clean the tiny back living room of the house. Neighbors claimed Smokey was kept there and said the clip-clop of the horse drowned out their tele- vision. SAN FRANCISCO -- Albert Smith, bartender on the special train that brought Nikita Khrush- chev and his party from Los An- geles, admits he figured the Rus- sians wrong. "We stocked up with a_lot of vodka," he said. "Evidently that was the state department's idea. We had 200 little bottles of vodka on ice but we didn't have much gin." But the Russians who drank wanted nothing but gin. "By the time we reached San Jose they had cleaned me out of gin -- 40 little bottles each con- taining 1.6 ounces." yr FRIENDLY "PLUMBER IF FLORIDA'S HEAT "_7 -!S YOUR AIM-, q WITH ONE OF OUR. | NEW HEATING SYSTEMS SYOU'LL HAVE THE + SAE 'CA MEGATE ELECTRIC Co. LTD. PELECTRICAL CONTRACTING ¥ PLUMBING HEATING country where some of* the "points of interest seen included-Craigmill Castle, a church built:in the 16th century, a field towér formerly used to signal the approach of enemies, a view of Edinburgh from Blackford Park and the Range of Pentland Hills which stretches for 26 miles. We also passed the Donaldson hospital for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. The story is told that when Queen Victoria was asked to of- ficially open it, she liked the build- ing so much better than her own castle that she wanted to buy it and when she was refused she went home in a huff and never came back. Wednesday's discussions were on Customs and Languages and it was decided that each person, when she went home, should try to learn at least a few words of another language, because while a smile may be an international language, it won't get you a cup of tea in a foreign country. Some of the points brought out that understanding each others customs and language encourages better relationships. Mrs. Raymond Sayre of the Unit- ed States, former ACWW presi- dent, made an outstanding contri- bution to the discussion in which she said that the reluctance to dis- cuss. International problems must be overcome and we must find out, not only the customs and dress of other countries but we must learn how they look at life, what their basic values are and how they differ from ours and learn to judge them by their values, not ours. "We only delude ourselves, she said. "when we say we all think alike, and we must build a ois ' of friendship that will last ewen__ under the weight of differences of opinions, and if it needs repairs, we must have the patience to seek them out and make them." At the conclusion of Mrs. Sayre's remarks, the chairman, our own Dr. Nancy Adams, very quietly said, "I think 'this is the time for us to bow our heads for a few minutes." It was done, in perfect silence in that -huge hall. The group discussions were con-~ tinued the following day but we of necessity, missed some of them as one cannot be in several places at once, but on Friday morning reports summarizing each group's findings were given and among the ideas advanced were these; we must contribute as well as take; mothers should encourage tole ance in their children; the road understanding is begun by unde standing each other. The final session of the confers ence Saturday afternoon was an enjoyable one, even though it was saddened: by the thought that we would probably never be seeing many of the new friends we had made during the past two weeks. Presentation of a silver tea service was made to Mrs. Berry, the re- tiring president, to Mrs. Shann, the conference chairman and sev- eral other officials. Several of the eastern countries including Ceylon and Malaya, made presentations to the ACWW head office as well as Mrs. Benry. And as a hilarious climax, the delegates from Ken- »|tucky, USA, made Mrs. Berry "an (Continued on page eleven) 8:15 Haileybury Curling Club Lounge SATURDAY, OCT. 3 G0! p.m. DOOR PRIZE $125.00 BLACKOUT on 51 numbers only, otherwise $25.00 will be paid.
