CLINTON, La. -- Justice of the _ peace James McDowell is out of a job. Even when he had a job, he had nothing to do. That's why he is out of a job. McDowell resigned from _ the $240 a year job with the explanation that the sheriff and district judge performed most of the functions of his office. That left nothing for him to do. McDowell asked that his resig- nation be accepted or his job abolished. If neither could be done, he said, just cut off his sal- ary and he would continue to serve for nothing. His resignation was accepted. FORT WILLIAM, Ont. -- A hand ~ hewn bowl carved at Cle- mentsport, N.S., in 1819 has been passed on to Terry Ditmars in a family tradition dating back more than 100 years. Intended orginally as a chop- ping bowl, it was hollowed from a single knot of silver birch trunk and measures two feet by 18 in- ches with a depth of 14 inches. Because of its size it has often been used as a bathtub for young members of the Ditmars clan. Tradition demands that the bow! be given to the eldest sur- viving son of each generation. It has moved with the family from Nova Scotia to Maine and to its present home at Kakabeka Falls, 20 miles west of here. Van Ditmars recently presented the heirloom to Terry. "It's supposed to go to my el- dest son," he said. '"But me being an old bachelor, the rightful-own- er now is my nephew Terry, el- dest son of my next oldest bro- ther."' Next it will go to Terry's- son Jeffrey, 4. GLASGOW, Scotland -- Yorkshire Light Infantry ment advertised in London pa- pers for a "a Chinese girl tea- cher-must be beautiful."

CALGARY -- A mining firm here has set out to prove that fool's gold is-a mineral worth taking seriously. Flake mica, known as fool's gold because it resembles the pre- cious metal-at first glance, is be- ing mined commercially in Yel- lowhead Pass near Jasper, Alta. Georgian Mineral Industries Ltd., estimates the Canadian mar- ket for mica at some 5,000 tons a year. At the moment nearly all of this is imported from the United States. The company has one processing plant in operation. and is plan- ning a second to produce powder- ed mica. Uses for mica range from the manufacture of concrete blocks to the decoration of greeting cards. It can be used as a dusting agent for pipeline wrappings to pre- vent loss of circulation in oil well drilling. Officials of the firm say the mineral at Mica Mountain in the pass is easier to mine than in most areas. It comes in flakes and merely requires processing to re- move quartz and garnet. |house--and the government backs \them up.

PECKHAM, England -- A par- ish magazine has published an easy-to-follow plan for parents wishing to turn a child into a juve- nile delinquent. : The plan, by Rev. P. M. Leach, vicar of St. Andrew's Church in this Surrey town suggests: Begin at infancy to give the child everything he wants so that he will believe the world owes him a living. Never give him any spiritual training' and avoid the use of the word wrong so that he will not develop a guilt complex. Pick up everything he leaves lying around so that he will get experience in throwing all res- ponsibility on others. Give him all the spending mo- ney he wants so that he will not have to earn his own. Take his part against neigh- bors, teachers, poli¢emen _-- be- cause they are all prejudiced against your chwWd.
