See by THE PAPERS PORT ARTHUR, Ont. -- A high school girl from Wisconsin visited the Lakehead several years ago and went home with a stery about having seen a 'two-headed fish. It required an exchange of cor- respondence with J. F. Atkinson, manager of the Dorion Treut Rear- ing Station near here to convince her biology teacher that such fish exist. Since then thousands of visit- ors have viewed 'the twovheaded and siamese-twin trout at Dorion and they're becoming something of a tourist attraction. The staff of fish hatcheries are accustomed to seeing such freaks and, because of 'the extna care required to rear them, used to let them die. However, since 1957 tthey have been brought to adulthood by scientists who wanted te trace their development and who were aware they would be of interest to visitors. Seven two-headed 'trout and a pair whose bodies were joined to- gether were specially 'cultured in a separate trough. Today the twins and all but two of 'tthe two- headers survive, in flattering style and exquisite comfort she walked happi ever alter @racia by Weelfl Beautiful Gracia shoes for the active life you lead, Quality-crafted in exclusive, foot-flattering styles.

Weighing 18 ounces, they are 71% inches long and measure 4% inches at the widest point. The two-headed fish have direc- tion problems, Mr. Atkinson says they wriggle and gyrate 'as if each head had its own ideas about movements and destina- tion." Most of the time they just lie resting on the floor of 'their trough. This too brings problems. "Much as a patient in a hospi- tal gets bed sores, so or little freaks get fungus." At regular periods the fish are bathed in a special solution of malachite green to counteract the growth of fungi ion their un- derside. One of the two-headed fish has grown to a length of 234 inches in its 27 months of life. "Most of the two-headed speci- mens feed with both mouths." MONTREAL A Winnipeg- born artist whose delicate designs on glass have won recognition in the United States says there is virtually no Canadian market for his work. Melvin Taylor, 53-year-old sales executive who devotes three or four hours a night to his hobby, says he is puzzled by the Cana- dian attitude toward art. He began working with oils as a youngster but it wasn't until 12 years ago that he started ap- plying fine-lined designs to tum- blers, flower urns and vases. He says the average Canadian just doesn't recognize art in this form. "I've been told to move to Texas where my name could be made overnight," he says, add- ing that he has no intention of leaving Canada, He says his items have brought as much as $500 from American buyers though only a few have been sold. LONDON -- To eliminate any confusion about trads, mods, beats and tteds, this story is offered as a simple guide 'to the current crop of British teen-agers. It will serve as a reference un- til a new variety emerges, prob- ably in week or two, Introducing them briefly, are: The trads--They go for tradi- tional jazz and all aspects of Ed- wardian dress except long jack- ets. The mods--They go for mod- ern jazz, Italian jackets and Perry Como haircuts. The beats--Better known as beatniks. They wear identical clothes--long sloppy sweaters, old jeans, well-worn sandals, long hair and beards. They are against conformity. The teds--they began in Ed- wardian dress but now favor Wyatt Earp's clothes. They like rock 'n' roll, sideburns and flick- knives. Other teen-agers, who form the great majority.of Britain's youth, can't be classified into any par- ticular group. They won't be dis- cussed here. Now each group in more de- tail: The trads can normally be found in London's many basement jazz clubs where Dixieland music blares through smoke-laden rooms. These clubs, incidentally, are quite wespectable and free from hooliganism. In unpressed stovepipe trousers, bright waistcoats, striped shirts and rounded white collars, the trad will bounce 'around all night jiving with his girl. The girl usually wears black stockings, baggy sweater and long hair, ~ they Thursday, July 7, 1960 STAY A LERT, STAY SAFES ---~ Courtesy John Labatt Lim CAST LEAGUE They speak normal English without bop talk. He introduces his girl as "the young lady with whom I am currently associ- ated.'"' She twirls her enormous "prandma's beads." The mod is a different sort of person. He frequentts above- ground modern jazz clubs that cost plenty..When he's not wear- ing the latest Italian styles, he leans toward the American Ivy League style. His shoes are al- ways 'pointed and his fingers snap to the music. His girl normally wears a bouffant hair-style, wide skirt and pointed shoes. ~ He introduces her as "My chick." She says things like 'Fab, man, Fab." They seem to dance without moving their feet. The beats inhabit coffee bars where, under dim lights, you can not tell male from female. They talk in quiet tone's about the faults of society. They seem to like ban-the-bomb marches. WASHINGTON -- Peter B. Fer- rara put this classified ad in the Washington Star: "I am responsible for all debts and obligations of my wife, Verla, both present and future, and am delighted to be the provider for a woman who has borne me three fine children, listened patiently to all my gripes and with an oyer- abundance of love and care made the past 15 years the happiest I have ever known. "On this our 15th wedding an- niversary I am proud to express my gratitude publicly." LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Nearly 40 customers aired complaints against General Telephone Com- pany's service at a public ~ser- vice commission hearing, but Ver- non Wiggins' tale topped them all. He testified he telephoned an- other man one day when sudden- ly the voice of his mother-in-law, who lives in another part of town, also came in on the conversation. "Tt's lucky for me I wasn't say- ing anything about her," Wig- gins said. TUCSON, Ariz. -- Dr. Ray H. Richardson hit a terific drive off the 11th tee at Tucson Country Club. The ball soared upward Sa then, as Richardson described it, 'there was a great spark and a noise like a cannon." The drive: Knocked down a 13,000 volt, high tension wire. Started a smali grass fire. Shut off all power, including the cooling, in the clubhouse. Blacked out an entire sub-divi- sion surrounding the course, in- stantly cutting off cooling for scores of homes. Stopped all golfing on the back nine of the course for 214 hours. LOS ANGELES -- Stanley Carl- son's littl jest wasn't funny to an airline stewardess, the airline or the FBI. When the stewardess_ sought to put away a case he carried aboard an airline here last week, Carlson told her to. desist because '"'there's a bomb in it.' Carlson became the 2lst person arrested since last April on a charge of making a false. bomb report. He was bound oyer to federal court for trial. SAINT JOHN, N.B. -- Discre- tion was the better part of valor for a young postal clerk' when confronted by a large par- cel that emitted a steady, loud humming sound interrupted per--- iodically by a loud "boomp." After all it could have been a bomb of some type. He called in higher authorities who called in. the RCMP who called in a mem-. ber of the city police rescue squad. : The mystery?
