There is, for example, still the habit of letting an authentic TV personality such as a sports broadcaster â€" who may even be a renowned former athlete â€" act as a pitchman for brands of beer or cigarettes. Equally offensive is the practice of using a wellâ€"established masâ€" ter of ceremonies on a news, variety or quiz show to peddie patent medicine. There is also the need to take some of the more repellent aspects out of the standard line for cosmetics, deâ€" tergents and some food products. And the broadcasters still have to get those awful pseud>â€" anatomical charts into the ashâ€" can permanently. , The National Association of Broadcasters is to be congratuâ€" lated on its clearâ€"cut and deciâ€" sive ,action to take the phony doctors and nurses out of the TV commercials. After January next it will no longer be posâ€" sible for any actor or announcer to put on a white coat and pose as "science." The new rulings in the code are unequivocal. The hroadcasters are honestly trying to clean up a bad situation. This is.not to suggest that ail TV commercials are bad, by any means. Many of them, inâ€" deed, are very good. There has been, for example, a conspiâ€" cuous improvement in the use of the cartoon commercial. But what is needed is that.advertisâ€" ing be kept in its place, as adâ€" vertising. This cannot be done by the broadcasters alone, They must have help from advertisers and sponsors who are willing t» display fundamental good taste and not make their products and their spokesmen on the air ridiâ€" culous. â€"â€" New York Times. An orchestra was rehearsing a long and tedious piece, when the composer arrived unexpectedly, "What‘s this?" he demanded. "I‘can hear only the violins and rot the wind instruments." "It‘s too hard a job for the wind instruments," replied the leader of the orchestra ‘"They can‘t blow and yawn at the same time." Some people wink more freâ€" quently than others. It‘s calcuâ€" lated that a nervous person may wink as often as $0,000 times a day during a sixteenâ€"hour wakâ€" ing period. Even as you read this you are winking to some extent. But so rapid is the wink that you are not conscious of any interruptions. â€" People who blink frequently ought to stay away from the town of Faleo, Alabama, There‘s a byâ€"law in force there which says you can be fined if you wink in public. could probably do it in oneâ€" fifth of a second if your reaction was quick," be adds. > This winking business is very necessary.

The State Apartments and the 590 adminâ€" istrative and residential rooms can‘t be springâ€"cleaned early in the year when the investitures, receptions and other royal func: tions in London are at their height. So it develops into a summerâ€"clean lasting a month, though â€"smailer â€"cleanâ€"ups â€"are also held when the Royal Famâ€" ily is at Sandringham or Windâ€" New extraâ€"duty chars are taken on, and it‘s arn opportunâ€" ity for many ordinary women to catch a glimapse of the interâ€" ior of the Palace which they might otherwise never see. Speâ€" cial passes are issued, and there‘s some grumbling about the precautians that have to be taken. But the checking in and out proved necessarry when one of the Mrs. Mopps was missing. Royal Palace Gets Annual Cleanâ€"Up PLAYING FOOTSIE â€"â€" Right at home in the Neverâ€"Never Land of Hollywood, Brian, the 21â€"inchâ€"tall king of the Leprechauns ducks between a pair of normalâ€"sized legs. Brian is actually normalâ€"sized actor Jimmy O‘Dea in some trick photography during the filming of Walt Disney‘s "Darby O‘Gill and the Little People," a comedyâ€"fantasy about Ireland‘s leprechauns. In fact, security precautions have to be kept exceptionally tight during the cleaning beâ€" cause there are so many strangâ€" ers walking about. A man once tried to walk off with two exâ€" quisite vases, wrapped in brown paper, which would have fetched hundreds of pounds in a salesâ€" room. She was found hiding in the organ loft in the ballroom, and explained she had been hoping for an opportunity for an extra lookâ€"around. Some of the Palace treasures are secretly whisked to other parts of London at this time. Every year, several precious old masters from the picture galâ€" lery are entrusted to picture reâ€" storers outside the Palace. Not long ago the two goldâ€"encrusted phoenix armchairs from the Throne Room â€"~~ worth thousâ€" ands of poundsâ€"were sent outâ€" ride the Palace for the first time in 40 years so they could be thoroughly overhauled in â€" a speciallyâ€"equipped workshop. . dustâ€"sheets. The brilliants ‘are unthreaded, washed and polishâ€" ed, then rethreaded on new copâ€" Curtains and carpets are sent oway for cleaning. The shamâ€" pooist of a wonderful Aubusson carpet had a shock when she caught the glint of diamonds in the .carpet folds. « A diamond brooch had been caught up in the hem â€"â€" and the discovery solved a twoâ€"yearâ€"old Palace mystery. A young bride who was privileged to attend a Palace party had reported the loss of the brooch, but servants had looked for it in vain. The derrick is also wheeled into position for the careful scrutiny of the crystal chandeâ€" ligrs with which the Palace abounds. Periodically, e ac h chandelier is lowered on to Even _ stranger _ discoveries have been made. The queerest was undoubtedly that of a Palâ€" ace fpotman who moved an orâ€" nate and heavy lampâ€"standard and found beneath it a plate of five false teeth embedded in a meringue. Then there was the extraordinary fan mystery of the Blue Drawing Room. One of the largest rooms in the Palace, this lovely apartâ€" ment is so high that the cornice near the ceiling can be cleaned only from the top platform of a fourâ€"tier, _ eollapsible _ derrick. Yet one year, tae workman found a delicate and valuable fan resting on the broad ledge of the cornice. How it got there remains an inexplicable riddle. No guest could have thrown it and risked damage to the china ornarhents cr chandelier if it fell. A mute witness to an enigma, the fan is now in the South Kensington Museum. Dust is never swept under the Palace carpets, but in this case the diamonds had evidently been kicked into the carpet hem! liers weighs about a ton and is reckoned to be the largest in Britain. From time to time, the toors are taken up in the rooms above ‘and the fastenings and structural supports are examinâ€" ed, for it would be disastrous if one of the immense chandeliers were to fall. Then there is the special task of overhauling all the clocks at Buckingham Palace. There is a grand total of 160, and every tiny repair is noted in a special inventory. One of the Palace clocks was made 400 years ago for Queen Elizabeth 1 and, thanks to regular care, it is exâ€" pected to keep good time for another 400 years at least. . Among the fourteen pianos still regularly tuned and servâ€" ced is a 100â€"yearâ€"old veteran specially built for Queen. Vieâ€" toria. Incidentally, the pianoâ€" tuner was till recentiy an eightyâ€"yearâ€"old who had tuned through four reigns. Yet he was so adept at ducking behind a door. or making himself scarce whenever members of the Royâ€" al Family entered the room, that he claimed he had never once met them. Toâ€"day many new â€" young craftsmen" aré ‘ taking over the intricacies â€"of â€"Palaceâ€" care. Among them is a young man from the Gas Board concerned with the gas mantles for the Palace. Handâ€"made, with crowns on top, they are considered fine examples of modern workmanâ€" ship. Even the Palace housekeeper, Mrs. Findlater, is a newcomer. A young Deeside woman who took first honours at a leading school of domestic science, she has supervised the cleaning only for the past three years. The housekeeper‘s room is really an office lined with filing cabinets stuffed with photographs . of every room in the Palace. King George V was once anâ€" noyed after a springâ€"cleaning because all the old familiar things in one room were not precisely in the accustomed place. The photographs have been taken regularly ever since to ensure that each piece of furâ€" niture is replaced in its former position. Probably no one, including Mrs. Findlater, has ever inâ€" spected all the Palace. On the southern _ side, for â€" instance, there are staff apartments that only their occupants enter. The true ownership of a cupâ€" board on a landing was once unsettled for years between the occupants of two of these Palace flats. Each one thought his neighâ€" bour â€" responsible. . Eventually, the muddle was sorted out, and the cupboard was cleared for the first time in years. At the back, rolled in canvas, was found a museumâ€"worthy set of carpenter‘s tools which had been unopened for at least 120 years. A bright young woman was asked to attend a public funcâ€" tion. She was given a place beâ€" tween a bishop and a rabb:, It was her chance to break into high company, and she meant to use it. _ fThat puge, thadam." said the tabbi, "is usually a blank."

Actually, it‘s not hard at all, but do your practicing when you‘re not having guests for dinner. The main point is to have the three principal ingreâ€" dients measured and ready for instant action. If you‘re careful, you can make cream sauce in an ordinary saucepan over low heat; but, if you‘re likely to wander away from the stoye for long, use a double boiler. First, melt butter slowly, then stir in flour quickly, and heat a few seconds until bubbly. Add milk and | sait gradually, and stir quickly until smooth. Then cook, stirring all the while, until the mixture boils slightly and thickens. K: Medium _ sauce: for â€" cheese sauce, add %& to % cup grated cheese.

Q@ne of the most famous of English dishes is steakâ€"andâ€"kidâ€" ney pie. There are two ways to prepare this pie. You may stew the meat in a small amount of water to cover and then cool before putting between the unâ€" baked pieâ€"crusts. Or, you may put uncooked meat between unâ€" gooked crusts, put into a hot oven to brown and then reduce the heat and cook slowly for two hours. Some recipes call for a little chopped onion, a few small poâ€" tatoes, and a pinch of chopped parsley. In the more modern recipes, there is usually one crust only used â€" the top one. The old English recipe fol lows: Beef Tat Cut beef into thin strips. Cut fat into small cubes. Roll each strip of beef around a piece of fat and fasten with a toothpick. Put in linedâ€"withâ€"dough pie pan alternately with pieces of kidâ€" ney until pan is <filled, season. Pour water or stock to cover. Put on top dough and press around edges to fasten. Prick.

Stir and boil to thicken. Pour over peppers. The Giants and the White Sox once played an exhibition game in London. King George V sat in a box with Join McGraw serving as a personal commenâ€" tator. The Giant manager made every effort to be informative. Finally a White Sox player laid down a perfect bunt. "That, Your Majesty," exâ€" plained McGraw, "is a sacrifice bunt. It is called tnat because the batter sacrificed himself for the other man, permitting the latter to advance from first to second base." 4 The King pondered this for a moment. Finally he shook his head approvingly. "‘Rawther sporting of the gentleman, eh, wot?" 4 cup "GET OFF MY BACK" â€" That‘s what cowpoke Jim Bayless seems to be saying after getting the worst of it in his battle with a raging Brahma bull. (Maybe the bull said it first.) Jim was only one of many contestants unseated in the 18th gnnual Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo. Limber rodeo clownyg kept the angry bulls from goring the cowboys and the only thing injured was a little pride.

Toronto â€" Various meanings have been assigned to the name which is of Indian origin; "A place of meeting", ‘Trees in the Water", "Lake Opening," all more or less conjectural. The name has also been traced to that of "Atrointa," chief of the Arendaronons and to the word ‘Tarontorai" meaning |"between the lakes." The name "Tarantou" appears ‘for the first time on Sanson‘s map of 1656. 6 Moncton â€" Incorporated as a town in 1855 when the name was changed from "Bend of the Petâ€" ticodiac" to Monckton, after Lt.
