Have Twiddly Bits Exclusive Rights MONDAY. JANUARY 3RD 1938 whi be | tice <(Ki Mr. Ju alone tC 10inSs _ Silver for M These are all malters now oniy sud judice but tco deep for the nonâ€"judicial. And still it is pleasant to think, if it can be done without lese majeste, ‘of England‘s Higzh Court of Justice putâ€" ting its mind to twiddly bits, in yodelâ€" ling songs. It would be even pleasanter if. throughout the British Empire, all yodellingâ€" songs were to be silenced sub justice until such time as Mr. Jusâ€" tice du Parcq had delivered judgment on twiddly bits. Longer, if possible. FPailing that, there‘s something to learn from justice‘s excursions into yodelling. Plaintiff, for example, exâ€" plained to the court how yodelling songs are composed. It ssems that the plained to the court how yodelling songs are composed. It ssems that the best way to do it is in the early mornâ€" ing with the aid of a mouth organ. Ignoring the neighbour‘s boots, feelings and things, you start on a tune. almost any <tune. and. you add twiddly bits. That was how plaintiff perfected his arrangement of Silver Threads Among the Gold. He "put extra twiddly bits here and there," he told the court, unâ€" til he got it just the way he wanted it. And then defendant stole plainâ€" tiff‘s twiddly bits for his "Dutch Acâ€" cordion Serenaders." That wa: arrangem the Gold here and til he go it.~ And Wha of his mouth Yodell What is more plaintif{ had, in one of his earlyâ€"morning searces with the mouthâ€"orgzan, composed a song called Yodellingy Sclomon with the refrain "si, ci, oi," which defendant had also lifted for his "Serenaders." That‘s what plaintiff claims. Defenâ€" dant says he never did. Defendant says that yodelling is what the milkbov does on his rounds and you can‘t copyâ€" right that. Defendant denied that his serenaders ever sang Yodelling Soloâ€" mon. What they sang was Alpine Milk man, "which also contains the Jewish expression ‘oi, oi, o. " How an Alpine Milkman came to be waking the echoes of Mont Blanc with the Jewish expression "oi, oi, oi," deâ€" fendant has not paused to explain yet. Put he has sworn that he got His Alâ€" pine Milkman from the publishers and has neither seen nor heard of plainâ€" tiff‘s Yodelling Solomon.

At High Falls where the Madaâ€" waska tumbled out of the hills the "drivers" ran their pointers down a steep slide, plunging out into a white whirpool, threatening with sharp rocks. Cnectators lined the river banks as Spectators lined the river banks AsSs these nervy men made trip after trip, taking down the boats and the camp supplies. Some men could not be inâ€" dugced to run the slide and it was fine occasion for camp foremen to rid themselves of the weakâ€"kneed. There were drownings on occasion and there were graves on the portage. Down at the village, where the railâ€" way crossed the river, there was anâ€" other rapids, not nearly so dangerous but exciting enough. Youngsters begâ€" ged the rivermen for a chance to run the rapids while the village looked on. These school boys walked back up the river after the passage, pretty proud of their experience.

Other News From Iroquois Falls and Ansonville The necessity for shutting down the other three days of the week has been brought about by a combination of cusâ€" tomers purchasing large quantities of newsprint, in anticipation of the rise in price of this commodity, which will be effective January, 1938, and the present American recession in trade. While it will greatly affect the earnâ€" ing power of the 900 employees of this mill, yetâ€"itâ€"is realized with gratitude that all those employed by the Abitibi will be able to realize a living during these shutâ€"down periods, due to the management having arranged to 0opâ€" grate at full capacity while running. and not shut down necessary machines to offset the shortage which, if done, would necessitate the laying off of half the personnel, thereby leaving them without any income.
