"T no longer provoke, denounce or condemn," he said in a speech. "IT ecoo like all the proverbial doves. I coo not because I like life any better. I honestly think it couldn't be worse, particularly in this country. But I am quite re- signed that it cannot be better any- where else -- usually it is worse."' Beecham, 80, married his 27- year-old secretary Shirley Hudson last August. He didn't say whether matrimony had anything to do with his reformation.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A smile by a television announcer does not necessarily' mean insincerity, an Oklahoma jury held recently. The jury ruled for Oklahoma City station KWTV in a suit against the Necchi-Elna sewing machine centre to collect $741 for television commercials. The sewing machine centre had refused to pay the bill because an announcer had laughed during the rs e Bath Scales Wp P"SIGIE IE IEIRIE AIRE IAI IR IRIE III IC IE IIE II IIR IIIB IE IIe III @ TV Tables & © Barometers ® Hockey Gloves : ©@ Hockey Games ® Dolls » © Toboggans ® Tricycles : Tools for the handyman: % Saws, Hammers, Drills, Planes, Screw : Drivers, Squares Gibson's Hardware AND APPLIANCES 3 HAILEYBURY #8 23055 AAA AMAA MAA aS BMD a a a HAAR AAAAAMARAMANAAAARAAARAAAAAAIAAAAARAE commercial.

VATICAN CITY -- The semi-of- ficial Vatican newspaper 1Osser- vatore Romano compares the Miss World Beauty competition to a cattle market. In an editorial it asks why the competitors could not appear fully clothed "even for the enthroning "and coronation". Cor- ine Rottschafter of the Nether- lands was crowned Miss World in London last week. LONDON--Street sweeper Char- lie Alexander was back with his brooms after attending London's most fashionable wedding of the month. He said he had enough of high life. The marriage was that of Susan Shafto, 19-year-old daughter of the Countess Howe, to John Dashwood, Britain's premier baronet. Charlie has known Susan for ten years -- he used to sweep the streets in front of her Mayfair home. When he read in the news- papers that she was being married he bought a carving knife and fork and took it around to her house. After this he received an invita- tion to the wedding at St. Peter's Church. But Charlie's invitation was not the same as those received by Lord and Lady, Brabazon, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Viscountess Lewisham and~ 500 others. Ee "You are to sit in the gallery," said a frock-coated usher. Charlie shrugged and went to his place. After the wedding, Charlie hot- footed it around to a hotel for the reception. "Champagne?" asked one of the waiters. "Got any brown ale?" asked the sweeper. ; 'No,' snapped the waiter. "Then Ill take the bubbly," said cockney Charlie. '* The bride finally saw him. "Thank you for coming, Char- lie,' she smiled, "and thank you for your lovely present.' Charlie beamed. But slowly the smile faded from his face. Left alone, he finally left for home. "Ym going to take the missus out," he told reporters. 'They didn't invite her, you know."' Asked how he liked his excur- sion into high society,' he replied: "Awful."' NEW YORK Some quick- change artistry at the Met recent- ly nearly turned into a Marx brothers "'night at the opera' but saved the performance of The Mar- riage of Figaro. In a zany series of switches reminiscent of the comedians' routine, one tenor dropped out of the feature role of Don Basilio, another left the role of Don Cur- zio to fill in, and a third tenor dashed from the audience to go on as Don Curzio. Charles ~ Kullman, _ recovering from a cold, suddenly lost his voice shortly before going on in the feature role at the Metropoli- tan opera performance. Gesturing wildly, he dashed into a dressing room and croaked hoarsely at Gabor Carelli, waiting to go on later as Don Curzio. "Quit your kidding, Charley," said Carelli, until he saw it was no joke, bustled into a new costume and made it in time for his cue. Tenor Robert Nagy,. taking his ease in a box out front, noticed the unannounced change, realized something was amiss and bounded backstage. He hustled into a Don Curzio cos- tume and went on for Carelli. No one was more startled than conductor Erich » Leinsdorf, who had no idea what was wrong. The show over, Cerelli and Nagy took their bows as though nothing happened. And for most of the audience, nothing had. OGDEN, Utah -- Mrs. John T. Owens drove straight to the police when she noticed something amiss about her car. She said someone apparently went through it while she was at a meeting. ; "I looked in the glove compart-| ment for a letter and it was gone," she told officers, "and there's a lot of stuff in there that doesn't belong to me. Besides, they took the clock from the dashboard." "That's not your car," the police said. Weldon Taylor, who owns an identical make, year and color car as Mrs. Owens, had reported his stolen minutes earlier. Taylor got his car back. So did Mrs. Owens, who can't understand why her keys worked 'in Taylor's car. MOSCOW -- Anyone who has lived in a city knows what happens with pigeons. They take over. They are taking over Moscow with the support of the government. It is legal to kick a pigeon in Moscow. It is illegal to kill one even by accident. You will be riding along a Mos- cow street and suddenly the car comes to a halt. A pigeon has chos- en this moment to stroll across the street, and no taxi driver in his right mind would chance running over it. He would be surrounded instantly by an angry crowd, his chauffeur's licence would be punch- ed full of holes by the nearest cop, who would list him as an incom- petent and reckless driver. Instead, the taxi passengers are sent crashing into the back of the front seat and their packages spill on the floor. Pigeons are protected here as peace symbols. OTTAWA -- Coffee will be sery- ed. Those four words, distressing to -- the many who eagerly pursue the capital's heavy round wm cucktail parties and are fearful of a trend, cropped up again recently. Prime Minister Diefenbaker took the first step one evening last sum- mer with a coffee-and-cakes lawn party at his 24 Sussex Street home. It was the first totally-dry recep- - tion in the capital for years. Friday came word that a coffee- only reception will be held No- vember 30 for the 500 delegates and guests attending a national meeting of the Young Progressive Conservative Association. £ Paper Still Made of Rags ; Some paper is still made from rags, but 98 per cent of Canadian paper is made from wood.
