I See by THE PAPERS LONDON -- Thirteen retired po- lice officers left their annual re- union dinner and discovered to their horror that the cops had im- pounded their cars. All of them had been parked il- legally. One of the offenders was ex- detective superintendent Jack Cap- stick of Scotland Yard. All evening the retired cops had been enjoying themselves, talking about the good old days when policemen could give their undivid- ed attention to criminals -- and not motorists. It was after midnight when they broke up and walked to the places where they'd parked their auto- mobiles -- but the cars weren't there. f Having spent most of their lives at detection, they rightly detected that brother officers had towed them away. A metropolitan police spokesman said the 13 retired officers will be issued with parking summonses, "Old colleagues or not," said one of the impounding cops, "we've got ito keep the roads clear." is MARTIN, Ga. -- A farmer re- ported that a 50-pound chunk of ice with a "loud whistling noise" plummeted to earth from a clear sky this week, barely missing him. C. T. Leeroy, 39, said the ice splint- ered when it hit the ground on his northeast Georgia farm and left a crater about the size of an auto- mobile wheel. The air force and the weather bureau in Atlanta de-: clined to speculate on the origin, of the ice. VANCOUVER -- More adults are going to night school here this year than the total number of students attending University of British Co- lumbia and the city's high school. Dr. John Friesen,, head of the university's extension department, describes the increase in night- school attendance during the last few years as phenomenal. "We're going to have a tough time keeping up with the de- mahds," he said. More than 34,200 adults are go- ing to night courses given by the university, school board, communi- ty centres, the public library and the B.C. and Yukon chamber of mines. High school and university en- rolments for day students total 83,700. : 'They're teaching everything from Russian to raising rabbits at the night classes -- more than 700 courses. Most popular are: religion, his- tory, astronomy, life on other planets; management, real estate, ballroom dancing, painting and pottery. Courses in Hebrew and Chinese were dropped because sup- port was lacking. The experts give a number of réasons for the night school popu- larity: : Professional groups need a con- tinuing education to keep up with rapid developments in their own professions; Shorter working hours mean in- creased leisure time; Educational requirements for jobs are becoming increasingly high. This demand for night education doesn't end in Vancouver. More than 6,000 people are attending classes in neighboring New West- minster, North Vancouver, Burn- aby, and Richmond. TRENTON, N.J. -- Trenton po- lice were talking about the woman with two-fifths of a conscience. The department got a letter in a plain envelope. "J feel I should pay you $2 for passing a red light once. Although I didn't do it intentionally, it is only right for me to pay. Women are no better than men,' she wrote. The 'letter was signed: Over-sized Conscience'. Magistrate Albert Cooper point- ed out the. fine was under-sized, because the usual fine is $5. But he lauded the woman's intentions. BELFAST -- Sir Laurence Oli- vier and Beatrice Lillie shared the spotlight with six small boys from the streets of Belfast as Northern Ireland's first commercial televi- sion station went into operation recently. The boys were picked from the streets as a Halowe'en party treat and presented to the two stars during the new service's inaugural transmission. MINNEAPOLIS -- Willard T. Gove keeps young Hallowe'en call- ers guessing. This year he gave them fried silkworms. Last year it was roasted cater- pillars, and the Hallowe'en before, fried grasshoppers. Only about ten per cent of the little goblins downed the worms on the spot. Others took them home for further study. Mr. Gove, who gave worm- chomping demonstrations to prove they were edible, says more young- sters have been calling for his treats each year. LONDON -- British European Airways declared -- with a stiff upper lip -- that "we are the most British of all airlines." "It is ridiculous to suggest we are not pro-British,' added a spokesman for government - owned BEA. BEA denied charges that the new, brighter black-and-red color scheme on its planes is a deliber- ate and stealthy gimmick to tone down the prominence of the Union Jack. A few empire-conscious Britons, boiling beneath their bowlers com- plained that the large Union Jack formerly displayed on the tails of BEA passenger ships had been re- placed by a BEA sign. Also, note the critics, the Union Jack on the planes' noses has been reduced in size- Retorted the airline's' spokes- man: ; We use only British afrcratt and there is certainly no intention to hide:,in other countries the fact that we are British. The positioning of the flag had been changed because of the new color scheme. We felt it was right to advertise our name on the tail -- as Pan American does -- and it was obviously impossible to paint such a large flag on the nose."' HAVERFORDWEST, Wales -- Kevin Poole is only three years old but his command of language-- bad language -- has shocked the town. The tot's vocabulary might have gone unnoticed had his mother not brought him up to quiet, respect- able Haverfordwest on vacation. Kevin lost his temper with a couple of neighborhood kids and let loose with a blistering tirade. The enemy was put to flight. But their parents, who over-heard the oration, were frozen to the spot. Kevin was staying with friends in a house owned by the town coun- cil, So the nighbors sent in a com- plaint. Housing Inspector George Dav- ies, who went round to investigate, reported: "The boy's language is extensive."' "Mrs. Canada's lady curlers caught up with their male counterparts in the organization of a women's curling tournament on a national scale, The inaugural Dominion Dia- mond "D" championship will 'be played at Oshawa, Ont., in March under the auspices of the Domin- ion Stores Ltd., Mrs. W.

And as a punishment his mother is cutting short his vaca- tion and taking him home to the nearby fishing spot of Milford Ha- ven. The lo¢al trawlermen there have been known to use some of Kevin's phrases themselves. Mom is determined to find a cure. TORONTO -- A starving six-foot boa constrictor and five other snakes found by a policeman in an abandoned midtown house had been thrown there by a transient carnival worker, police said. A second boa constrictor was found later in the man's rooming house by the same officer -- Con- stable Collin Fernell. "T packed it in a box, put it into the sidecar of my motorcycle and took it to the zoo to join the oth- ers,' he said. Police declined to release the transient's name, and no charges have been laid. They said he told them he would go to the River- dale Zoo later and sign the snakes over to the zoo. He said he was unemployed and unable to feed the snakes, so he tossed them into the basement of the abandoned house, thinking they would die before anyone found them. Const. Fernell was called to the house when a workman boarding it up saw a cloth bag wriggling across the basement floor. ROME -- University students here are being encouraged not to study medicine because Italy has too many doctors. One Italian in every 665 is a doc- tor, one of the world's highest per- centages, and the highest in the six-nation: European common mar- ket community. Rome has one doc- tor for every 300 citizens. The appeal to students was mad in a leaflet circulated to youths about to enter university. Signed by Dr. Carol Prandi, chairman of the doctor's union in Rome, it quoted the figures' and _ said: "Think. carefully today in order not to regret your decision tomor- row."
