Mrs. Mailta Pratt invited 65 Buests to the party she gave to celebrate her own birthday. She sang them the same songs she warbled as a smallpart actress last century at London's famous Drury Lane Theatre. .As the village clock chimed in the new day, Mrs. Pratt raced up the stairs of her house and thrust a Union Jack mounted on a pole out of her window. Of her birthday Pratt said. "T will smoke a little, say grace rhyself, and the policeman who will stand at the door to keep the re- Horters out of the party will come ih and have a bit of my birthday cake and a glass of wine."' 'For herself, Mrs. Pratt expected to imbibe stronger stuff. 'I have drunk whisky and soda all my life," she said. 1 !' WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Poultry experts say the chances of cracking open a five-yolk egg are "one in many billions". Sue Konter, 12, of West Hart- ford was helping her mother cook some scrambled eggs. Sue cracked one and out tumbled five small, but perfectly shaped yolks. |A poultry expert at the Univer- sity of Connecticut said a five- yolk egg is certainly a possibility "but fantastically rare." ' FORONTO -- Taxi-driver Patrick Duguay, 25, might well wonder whether helping police catch hold- up men is a safe or profitable job. He was cruising near a super- market recently looking for a fare when Constable Vincent Smith jumped into the cab and ordered him to chase a fleeing taxi. The po- lice man said a passenger in the other cab had just robbed a super- market. The cars careered through city streets, Const. Smith leaning out the window and firing three shots at the car ahead. One shot struck the fleeing taxi, but it didn't stop, Said Duguay. | The chase finally ended when he "cut him off like they do in the movies." plans, Mrs. John L. Edwards, 22, of Toronto was arrested and charged with robbing the supermarket of $300. Duguay was clapped on the back and thanked by police. He went into a restaurant for a coffee to calm his nerves. "And when I came out I had been charged with a parking viola- tion," he said. TOYKO -- The five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Tokuzo Kubota threatened to burn the house down if they left him at home alone while they had a night out. They laughed and went out just the same. The boy wasn't fooling. He burn- ed down the house -- in nearby Sagamihara -- and an adjoining barn, police reported. BALTIMORE--Mrs. Mary Cohen was listening to a radio giveaway program when the announcer said he was placing a $500 telephone call to her number. Mrs. Cohen stood by the -phone. It didn't ring. Instead she heard the announcer talking to her next door neighbor. He tried again, got the neighbor once more, and announced he was sendng Mrs. Cohen $5 as consola- tion. Telephone repairmen working on a road had broken a cabie. In re- storing service, they made a mis- take. Mrs. Cohen could make out- going calls but her neighbor was getting her incoming calis. When service. was properly re- stored, Mrs. Cohen's first call was from telephone company officials. They said they were sending her $500 to make up for the money lost through the bad coonnection. LONDON -- A Church of Eng- land vicar called on the clergy to form a trade union to fight for higher wages. Rev. Lewis Roberts, 62, of Peas- marsh, in Sussex County, was re- primanded by his bishop last year for urging Anglican priests to stage a token strike protesting their "appalling pay."' In the current issue of his parish magazine the vicar writes. "It is not without significance that the only profession in the country which has no organized body with the functions of a trade union is the clergy. "What is good enough for doc- tors, teachers, bankers, and gov- ernment employees should be good enough for us." * Roberts added he finds it impos- sible to live on the 'miserable pittance'"' -- £650 ($1,820) a year -- the church pays him. He said he will be in debt, 17 wow TO CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY MONUMENT For your free copy of Rock of Ages' new Mustrated booklet "How To Choose Your Family Monument"' visit us today.

Miss Goodwin, 56, a bespectaled machinist, was taking a test for the second time. For the 25 minutes Meagher sat frozen by her side while she swung a sedan through the back streets of suburban Surbiton. Suddenly his nerve cracked. "Stop," he here." Then he hopped out, slammed the door and walked away. Miss Goodwin waited and waited but he neved came back: Unknown to her, Meagher had hurried on foot to his office to com- plain that she was driving danger- ously. Now the transport ministry is re- ceiving protests about the way Meagher handled the situation. Miss Goodwin's instructor at the Alpine Driving School found her sitting strdnded in the sedan after Meagher's walkout. The instructor, Jack Cross, was angry. A protest was fired off to the ministry. A Minister spokesman admitted the case was known to him. e. "The test," he said "was ended in the interests of the safety of the candidate and other road users." GLASGOW--For two years Jock Macleod tried to catch a wildcat-- any wildcat. Jock is a highland forester on the wooded shores of beautiful Loch Sunart. At the request of Edinburgh's Zoological Garden he had hunted since early 1959 for a live wiidcat. In Britain, wildeats survive only in some Scottish forests. Even there they are dying out. Time af- ter time, Jock clambered over the tree-strewn cliffs and rocky scrub- land which wildcats haunt. When he approached his quarry, it either attacked him or made away like the wind. shouted. '"'stop But one morning one of the traps |' he set and baited with rabbit clos- ed on a wildcat. Jock found it next morning -- a vicious, snarling, spitting specimen, every inch a wildcat. The cat -- about 114 times the size of a domestic cat -- was pack- ed off to the zoo. It bade Jock a spitting, snarling farewell. Jock was glad to see it go. That, he thought, was the end of the wild- tthe Efue January 17, 1961. The Editor, Haileyburian and Cobalt Post, Haileybury, Ontario.
