Jess because of the complications arising from O.P.A. control. Chips was busy with his milk diet at the beginning anyhow, and even though his canine instincts told him that something was missing, he was not in any particular dietary distress, His titular boss, pal and playmate, Diana Burns, eight months, was also on a diet which was of necessity (in keeping with time-old tables on baby feeding) since Chips was born and it is comparatively easier to ado about his first bone, The fact that it is bigger and way diminish the intensity which he attacks it, doing his best with the tiny teeth which have made a partial appearance. Diana is also attacking the bone as best she can. It was a big day in the life of Diana and Chips. rich in milk.

INSTALLATION (Continued on Page 13) County Pays $800 ForValueless Pelts London, Nov. 2--(CP)--Middlesex County paid out $800 in the period from April 1 to Oct. 31 in bounties for 300 foxes, county treasurer re- veals. During that time the pelts are considered worthless, and the bounty is paid to encourage their destruction, Paris Black Market Is agrant, Flourishing Paris, Nov. 2--(CP)--Around the opera and Place de la Madeleine, shabby men sidle up to foreign servicemen and obvious tourists to ask in halting English: "anything to sell?" Jewelry, cameras, clothing -- any- of considerable value--can be d there but the big demand is or foreign currency and travellers' cheques. British £1 notes in lots of 20 bring anything up to 800 francs plece though the official rate is 480. United States dollars are h about double the official ue. (Next 'to 'the 'almost-open street e' of American cigarets at 140 nes' ($1.20)° a package, this is bably the most flagrant black ket in Paris. Everyomie knows hbout it 'and the "going" rate for urrency is common knowledge. The British tourist is limited to ($20) in curency when he leaves jlome but many manage to smuggle it some extra ones to swell their he-year quota of £75 in travellers' theques for foreign travel, 'So many British travellers have en living luxuriously in posh re- ort hotels in Southern France that British Treasury officials have start- an investigation. Some are bor- who are paid back when they come to Britain, Others exchange holi- days with French families, taking their holiday as guests and later returning the hospitality, Tales of currency manipulation are legion. Ome published story concerns a dicker in Swiss francs, recognised as one of the strongest currencies on the continent. A British traveller, so the story goes, landed at Geneva and cashed about '70 of travellers' cheques at the official 17-to-the-£ rate, Then he moved on to France where, on the black market, he sold 1,200 Swiss francs for 120,000 French francs--more than three times the official value. : In Paris he deposited 112,000 francs with an agent and got £160 for them on arriving in London. Having started his trip with 75 he lived well and finished with a clear profit of £85, : That may or may not have hap- pened--but it is possible.

Russell Gage Is Speaker To B.1. F. Group "The Little Foxes" was the sub- ject of an address by Russell Gage, at a meeting of the Oshawa Branch British Israel Federation, on Tues- day, October 29. Taking his title from the Song of Solomon (2.15) the speaker said he did not think the poet was trying to portray a love story, or snow affection for a Pharaoh's daughter, but believed it had a very significant meaning. Using the forementioned verse as an illustration, why did the poet re- fer to foxes, little foxes, vines, and tender grapes? Could he be refer- ring to some evil, or bunch of evils, undermining the life of the people? The fox is the symbol of cunning and deception. It works under cov- er and at night. Its reputation is universally known, yet we little suspect the terrific toll taken by foxes every year. Little foxes -- small evils! We have become so ac- customed during the last few years to hearing and seeing big things-- big wars, atomic bombs, etc.:--that there is a tendency to neglect the little things, : Why the reference to vines and tender grapes--an imature people, Could it refer to some people easily led astray; perhaps the writ- er's own Israel people, who had not yet completed their training, nor at- tained full nationhood? Vineyards were often spoken of in both the Old and New Testaments, as repre- sentative of God's people, Israel. It seems to be quite in keeping with the text. We as a people have not changed much since those days. Are we not still tender, hard to hald in line, slow to awaken to danger, ne- ver seeming to learn. Had it not been for a power greater than ours, we would have been eliminated from this earth long ago. We look for good rather than evil, peace, than war, would rather trade than steal, heal than bruise. Is it any wonder we have so often had our backs to the wall. I am not extolling cur virtues, said Mr, Gage, "but only showing our traits. As leaders of a great movement we should keep our own houses clean, and guard against some of these "little foxes." Conventionality © Cynicism, In- difference, Apathy, Scepticism, In- tolerance, Bigotry, Greed, Covete- ousness Envy, Jealousy, Sarcasm, Flattery etc. We do things so we shall not seem "different." Why do we like "0 think in groups? Peo- ple "dislike independent thinkers, If you dare to think for yourself, no matter how right you may be, if you do not. agree with orthodox thinking, you are in for a' hard time. Yet it has been sald that 'where everybody thinks the same, nobody thinks." 'The road of the thinker is no bed of roses, but it has its own rewards. We can be inspired by those great souls who have gone before. Man- kind ever aspires to go forward. We must remember that it is Righteousness that exalted a nation. Righteousness consists of thinking and doing right things. It is free- dom from sin. The great sin is Un- bellef. Today the world is divided into two great camps--those who believe in God and those who do not. . There is only one God, one Book of Rules, one Constitution, There can be no compromise. God's prom- ises stil] stand. Our forefathers knew it. Job knew it I think we know it, said Mr, Gage. We are making progress. Let us be steadfast. Let us guard against these little evils, that we may help to bring about that state spoken of s0 phophetically by Robert Burns, when he wrote: . "Then let us pray that come it may, As come it will for a' that, That man to man, the world o'er, Shall brothers be for a' that."

Pincher based his figure of 96 bombs on an assumed output of six bombs a month since the time of the Nagasaki bombing. Estimating that there were eight saki was hit, minus two used in the Bikini experiments and assuming that the rate of production of six a month had not changed, Pincher arrived at his figure of 96. Accompanying Pincher's article was an artists's conception of the bomb, with a cut away portion showing the working parts, The sketch showed a conventional cas- ing with four small fins and two "drogues"--parachutes open at each end--which Pincher said, operated to slow the descent for better con- trol of a time fuse mechanism op- erating a detonator, The writer said the missile was detonated by an apparatus which fires one lump of plutonium at one end of the gun to the other lump at the opposite end.
