MOVE TO NEW HOUSE In two or three weeks time, John and Bella Greig will be moving to a new and modern house, with central heating fired by gas, allocated to them in Peterhead.

(AP)--Jack, Carson, Canadian - born actor who blustered across the screen as the loudmouthed comedian who usually lost the girl, died at his home Wednesday of can- cer. He was 52. He had been ii for more than six months, At his bedside were his wife, Sandra, his brother, Robert Carson, and his physician, Dr. Seymour Hartman. "I talked to him just this morning," said Carson's busi- ness investments partner, Frank Stempel, who was in house when he died. "He'd been talking to his wife. She left the room for a few minutes and when she re- turned he was dead," Stempel said. "He'd been walking around today and was talking nor- mally." The actor was born John El- mer Carson on Oct. 27, 1910, to Mr. and Mrs. E, L. Carson, in a series of one-hour comedy; programs. Free-lancing in movies, he played a hard-hearted press agent in A Star is Born with Judy Garland and James Ma- son, and was talked about for a supporting Oscar nomination. In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof he had another non-comic role as H blustery, grasping son of Burl ves, In 1951 he made a rip-roaring debut in musical comedy, in Texas, Li'l Darlin, before an enthusiastic audience of some! 3,000 in Dallas. The next year he appeared on Broadway in Of Thee I Sing. In his youth Carson attended Carleton College at Northfield, Minn,, where he played foot- ball, led the school band and took part in dramatics. After graduation he was a salesman a while for his fa- ther's insurance business, then' went into vaudeville, Tn 1936 he went to Hollywood, Canadian-Born Actor Loud Screen Comedian dio as master of ceremonies of a variety show. At Warner Brothers Straw- berry Blonde, with James Cag- ney, was followed by a long- term contract, Carson's films included Viva- cious Lady, Destry Rides Again, The Bride Came C.0.D., The Male Animal, Arsenic and Old Lace, Mildred Pierce, One More Tomorrow, The Time, the Place and the Girl, April Show- ers, Romance on the High Seas, John Loves Mary." Carson was married three times previously. His first wife was a dancer, Betty Alice Linde, with whom he teamed on the Orpheum vaudeville circuit in his pre . Hollywood days. Singer, Kay St. Germaine, whom he married in 1940, di- vorced him in 1950. They had two children, John, born in 1941, and Germaine Catherine, born in 1945, Actress Lola Albright di- vorced Carson in 1958 after six years of marriage. Carman, Man. The Family moved to Wisconsin when he was a youngster and he be. came a United States citizen in 1949. Carson collapsed last Aug. 26 on an.

Big blusterer with a witty ability to enliven any party-- such was the likable Carson character movie fans began to know in the late '30s. Six feet 2%, weighing 200 pounds, he was a master of the double take, the pained expres- sion, the over - the - shoulder glance with bulging eye, wrin- kling forehead and open mouth. Carson had had five years' experience including vaudeville, night clubs and stock compa- nies when he signed for films. He regarded himself as an actor rather than a comedian but was a long time breaking out of the movie mold of amus- ing loudmouth. He severed con- nections with Warner Brothers in 1950 after 11 profitable years with the studio. Later he said: "I was their handy man. Whenever they needed a few laughs in a picture they'd say, 'Let's get good old Jack.' It's no secret that in the 'Two Buys' series I did with Dennis Morgan I wrote threequarters of the script. "We'd arrive on the set and everybody would sit down and say, 'What can we do now that would be funny? So I'd come up with something.

The newspaper says in a dis- patch from Montreal Cardinal Leger, at a meeting in Montreal Dec, 17, referred to the Pope's health in the most general terms "probably to imply that in old age it was difficult to free ourselves from any ill- ness." The paper says those who heard the address or saw the have to be done all over again," the paper said. Osservatore Romano says the cardinal used the phrase in a special context referring to the} draft decrees, into which the main work of the council was divided, saying these would be presented in revised and en- larged form for the next session of the council. The paper says he nad de- scribed the council on his ar- rival in Montreal as "'the most profound experience of the cen- tury" and emphasized the frankness of council debates, which did not imply "differ- ences of opinion but a wealth of ideas." archbishop on television were astonished to read reports of the remarks published in the press. Cardinal Leger was reported to have told the meeting, in re- sponse to a question, that the 81-year-old Pope was suffering from an undisclosed _ iliness "that will remain with him until the end of his. days." Earlier this week the Turin newspaper Stampa Sera_re- ported Cardinal Leger sent a telegram to Pope John regret- ting certain remarks he made had been "misinterpreted."

Roby Kidd said recently in an address to Canada's leading English-language text-book pub- lishers. Dr. Kidd, of the Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Social Science Research Coun- cil of Canada and the Overseas Institute of Canada, said the campaigns are: To put every single child in the world into primary school by 1980; to pro- vide high schools for at least 10 out of every 100 of the world's teenagers; to make literate at least half of the il- literate adults of the world. In this, he said, Canada's publishers and others have a significant role to play during 1963 and the years ahead. "Edu- cation is being seen as. so serious that it is not to be left only to the teachers!" NEED EDUCATION Dr, Kidd told the Canadian Textbook Publishers' Institute) and The Canadian Publishers' Association that "serious plans" are now being made to give every man, woman and child, "some form of education. Des- pite our lip service to the im- portance of learning, never in the history of the race have there been schools for more than a minority of the people." He said, "Plans have been made and much of the money has been voted to put at least half a million more children into school in 20 years. Plans have been made and some of the money voted to put millions' of youths into secondary schools by 1980, Plans are being con- sidered to make readers of three hundred million adults by 1970, but the necessary money has not yet been voted."
