Mass Production Honeymooning There are, it seems, two kinds togetherness on a honeymoon. ere is the togetherness of a uple who want to be alone to- ther, gazing into each other's es and 'all that kind of thing. 1en there is a real togetherness. The second kind was what in- gpired more than 1,000 newly- wed couples who swarmed into ritain's Channel Island of Jer- #¢y recently. A British institu- tion known as "the tax man's wedding" was responsible for the big splurge. Easfer, always a popular time for weddings, coincided almost exactly with the end of Britain's fiscal year, and any bachelor married before April 6 got his personal income- tax exemption raised from $392 to $672, Thus, he could count on a big enough tax rebate to finance a honeymoon. And when it came to choosing a spot, he knew his money would go far- ther on Jersey because it 1s a self - governing dependency, which doesn't like too many taxes. Cigarettes cost 20 cents, compared with 57 cents in Bri- tain; the cost of whisky is cut in half. Well aware of the profits to be made, Jersey's tourist bureau and hotelkcepers have inaugur- ated special honeymoon features. Island bars serve "honeymoon" cocktails (a seeret recipe), bus tours are arranged, and room television sets are instalied, in case of bad weather. And toe honeymooners have responded by spending $200,000. Many couples arrived with no idea that so many others were going to be there at the same time. "We thought we were go- ing to get away from it all," said Glen Brown. 23-year-old engi- neer fron. Wimborne, Dorset. "We're not di-appointed though," added his pretty wife, Peggy.

ISSUE 17 -- 1961 "It's fine to have so many other happy people around." Bridegroom Roger Pryor had another view "Strangely enough," he said, "a honeymoon could be lonely. But not here We've made friends with two other couples and are having a grand time." This was the sort of together- ness that delighted hotelkeeper Stan Mason, whose Merton hotel was filled with 414 newlyweds. "It's like a tonic," he said, "to see 50 many people liking each other so much. Keeps + you young." Preached Sermon With Broken Neck How much can a man endure --and survive? Scientists in va- rious parts of the world have been asking this question with special interest ever since the idea of sending a man hurtling into space and bringing him back to earth alive.-was first suggested a few years ago. How tough, then, can a man be? Scientific endurance tests have already demonstrated that a man can endure prolonged pe- riodas_ of starvation and intense physical hardship. Some men are extra tough. When crooks had a grudge against a young man some time ago they kidnapped him, bound his hands and feet, blind-folded him with surgical - tape, threw him into a car, set fire to the car and then pushed it over a fifty gully, The young man came through this terrible ordeal unharmed. A sixty-five-old clergyman wa: run down by a car while cycling. He had a bad fall but declared he was unhurt. That was on a Friday. He took part in four services on the Sun- day. On Monday it was found that his neck had been dislo- cated by the fall. He had been preaching and performing his other duties with a broken neck. A sixty-year-old nightwatch- man was run over by a locomo- tive. Nearly all his ribs were broken and his right foot crush- ed, yet he picked himself up, walked along the line, descended sixteen steps of a ladder and reached his hut. Four hours la- ter he was found there, still alive. Biting Dogs ~Are- "Erystrated' ili Do some dogs bite because there's a wolf strain in them?' Are dogs that bite naturally vindictive? Does a dog get pleas- ure out of sometimes biting the hand that feeds him? Those are just samples of the many queries editors receive from pet-loving readers during the year. - The U.S. public health service" at Washington, whose officlals have been conducting research into this subject, supplies the answers. Dogs that bite are "goaded by inner frustrations," they say. Two-thirds of dog-bites are with- out malice of any kind. The dogs don't mean anything per- sonal by it. It's just that a per- son happened to be handy for them "to take it out on." Another surprising fact is that men are bitten twice as often as women. What's more, female dogs -bite more often than the males. How does one avoid getting bitten? Well, you can get a rough idea from the experts' observation that dogs bite more in July and August and during winter week-ends. By 'the time a man gets to a point where he can buy his wife dresses at a fancy figure--she hasn't got it.

As you may know my special- Ity in dogs is Welsh Corgis: Un- til recently I thought we were the only ones in this -district to own a Corgi. Then I saw an advertisement in a Toronto pa- per -- "For Sale -- registered Welsh Corgi. pups". And the lived only about three miles from here. So I phoned, explained my interest, asked if I might see the pups and it I could bring Taffy along with me. 1 was cordially invited to come any time. So away I went the very next morning. Only two of the puppies were left and they were the cutest little things, one of them very like Taffy. But the mother -- she was a perfect match for Taffy. They were very friendly towards each other, so, who knows, it might be the be- ginning of a future romance. A day or two later I saw an- other "for-sale" -notice--in the. paper. This time of a cocker, spaniel for a veny reasonable price. I immediately phoned Dee because ever since Honey died the boys have been begging for another dog. Dee had to go to a Guide meeting that night so Art and the boys went along to see the dog. What they saw was so different from what they expect- ed Art decided he wasn't going Easy Sun-Style bir Coane Wheeler, Sundress or pinafore!

Next morning Dee and the three boys went by street- . car to see the pup and Dee fell for him on the spot. He was such a friendly, lovable little fellow she just couldn't resist him. So the dog was bought and paid for --=-- the next problem was to get him home. Not only the dog but his dishes, brush and comb, col- lar and chain and some dog food. However Dee is the type who will tackle anything at times and this was one of those occasions . all the way home on the Queen street car! The worst part was getting dog and boys all assembled in the same spot at the sama. time to get off the crowded street-car. That same night, after Friday night shop- ping, they all came along for their accustomed visit -- with the pup of course, so we could see what we thought of him. 1 am glad to say' we liked him as much as they did. He is longer in the leg than the average spaniel. From his appearance I would say he is a mixture of water spaniel and Irish setter. His name is "Gustav" and he is six months old. Already he takes a lot of good-natured mauling ~--from the ~boys: ~They just ~love--1{--- him, Dee will need to.love him too as he isn't house-trained! Hightormer owners were Finnish fol and they bought him as a wee pup hoping to overcome their little girl's fear of dogs. But it didn't work so Gustav spent a good deal of time In the cellar. With a timid, three-year- old child to look after and an- other on the way the lady of the house couldn't give the dog the attention he should have had. However, I think Gus will now find he finally got the better of the bargain. Friday night, of course, we were faced with the problem of keeping peace between the two dogs -- Taffy and. Gus. Taffy had never had another dog in- vade his home territory -- ex- cept poor old Honey who was so old and fat Taffy treated her more like a stuffed toy. There was a little snapping and snarl- ing on Taffy's part when Gus first came in but;then he decided. it was really fun to have some- one to play with and after that they got along fine. I'm telling you what with three boys and two dogs this place was little short of a . madhouse Friday night.

Well, 4 uk few days we have had a greater problem than dogs to contend with, Our town- ship water supply is contamin- ated. I'm not sure "contamine . ated" is the right word to use as we are told whatever has got into the water is not in any way poisonous. Poison or not it has made the water. quite undrink- able, Even dishes after' being washed have the phenol odour clinging to them. We understand seepage from the oil refineries has somehow reached the town- ship filtration plant. But are we lucky . . . right next door to us is a neighbour who still gets his water supply from a good old- fashioned well ih the backyard. ~~ We go over there in the morning and get our water supply for the day -- that is, for drinking and cooking purposes, Some people . are making trips to a natural spring a few miles from here, filling cans, pails. and bottle and bringing it home, So now we know none of olir modern con- veniences are rdally fool-proof.

It was en a bright Monday afternoon tnat. the First Lady planed into La Guardia airfield. She was accompanied by her equally beautiful sister. Princess Radziwill, White House secretary Anne Lincoln, and two Secret Service men. Mrs. Kennedy held a shiny copy of Vogue in her hands and wore a plum-colored suit, loose-fitted and understated as are all of her clothes. A New York girl (summers in: East Hampton, winters on Park Avenue), Mrs. Kennedy checked into her hotel, the elegant Car- lyle at 76th and Madison. She moved into her sister's apart- ment 14E while her entourage took over the Presidentidl suites on the 34th and 35th floors. Then, first things first, of course. A call went out for Mr. Kenneth, the hair-stylist at Lilly Daché's. The ladies kept him busy until 6 p.m. * Having managed to avoid mak- ing a statement to the press at the airport, Mrs, Kennedy kept up the silent treatment. Report- ers and photographers, ignoring the glares of Carlyle patrons, camped out in the hotel lounge only to suffer one disappoint- ment after another. The First Lady herself slip- ped in and out through back en- trances and once, to elude the press -- with the help of the Secret Service -- she switched cars. Tooling down Park Avenue In one Cadillac, she stopped as soon as she had eluded eager re- porters, and stepped into another Cadillac.

Berges. There she bought a jardiniere, an 18th century French flower bowl for use in the Kennedy's Hyannis Port summer home, The First Lady also found time during her stay to look at the post-impres- slonist paintings 'of Maurice Prendergast at the Whitney Mu- seum, a collection of contempor- ary art st the Sagittarius - lery and some primitive art ob- jects at J. J. Klejman. Tuesday evening, accompanied by Adlal Stevenson, Mrs. Ken- nedy attended the City Center ballet where the director, George Balanchine, gram to Include three of her fa. vorites: "Pas de Dix" by Glas- unov, "Symphony in C" by Bizet, and the "Liebeslieder Walzer," with music by Brahms. A crowd of 500 gathered outside the hall to see and wave to her. She flashed them and TV came eramen a radiant smile before taking her seat at dead center in row (. The First Lady was not dressed to the nines for the occa- sion; she wore a simple blue- gray brocade theater suit. The jacket had a cowl neck and the skirt was day length. Her only y jewelry was glittering earrings. Other theater-goers tromped up and down the aisles, ogling her, but none spoke to her. She chat- ted gally and seemed to be hav- ing a fine time. and two models, all resolutely refusing to give their names, ap- fone at the Carlyle, laden with atboxes and garment bags. The | hats came from Mr. John, the clothes from 'Oleg Cassini, Ms. "Kennedy's favorite American de- | signer. Because of a White House frown on publicity about her clothes, there was no official word on what Cassini was show- ing her, but she had already ap- proved most of the designs : sketch form. The selection rang- ed from summer dresses and sportswear to woolen dresses and suits needed to finish out the season in Washington. Her East- er outfit was to be summery and go (she planned to spend Easter n Palm Beach) and reflected what experts noted was a new emphasis on color. It was:pre- sumed that a print dress she wore recently at a Latin Ameri- can reception was a sign of Mns. Kennedy's experimenting in styles and colors not as under- stated as those she has favored in the past. Newsmen were still kept in the dark about her schedule as well as her new wardrobe. ["Who does this dame think she is?" _was a commen complaint.] But she spent the late hours of the day readying the Presidential Suite for a small cocktail party. The guests included Robert Dow- ~ ling," owner of the Carlyle, Col. Serge Obolensky, the hotel exe- cutive who is also known as "the best waltzer in America," Henry Ford II, Princess Radziwill and her husband, who is a London businessman, the Leland Hay- wands (she Is the former Pamela Churchill), and Mrs. Kennedy's stepbrother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs, Hugh-D.
