At these times, he Just wends his way out the maze-like plant and takes a walk. By the time he has walked past the neighboring stockyards, he says, he's happy to get back to the hams. His only major bugaboo is the common cold, Njvhieh plays hob with a ham-sniffer's nose, for this reason he avoids the chilly curing rooms of the Kingan plants.

NUKULAU ISLAND, South Pa cific (UP) It's a merry old cus tom when a big party is given in the Tonga Islands, and goes like this: The firm of W. R. Carpenter (Fiji), Ltd., honorary agents in Suva, Fiji, for the Tongan govern ment, entertained the visiting Ton gan rugby team at a picnic on Nu kulau Island.

(fnternntiotia!) Rambling 'Round (Continued from Page Two) "Backward, turn backward, oh Time, in thy flight " and give us ole thirty-nine, just for a night! Don't look now but isn't that Santa Claus peering around thai post in the store? We've been see ing a lot of his cards in the papers, and the advertisements have been warning us of his approach. But, somehow, we never begin to get the real Christmas-y fever until the last moment ... no matter how much urging we get. There are, of course, those lore-sighted people who boastfully tell that their gifts are all purchased and wrapped along about Hallowe'en . . . but we have a sneaking feeling that they miss a heap of fun. Half the gayety of the holiday season is be ing completely fagged out by rush ing around. We could all learn a lesson from the dignity of these moun tains. We watched the heavy storm clouds envelop Eagles Nest, almost blotting it out from sight. But when the rains had worn themselves out and the storm had thundered itself into retirement, the mountains emerged unruffled and as com manding in their dignity as he fore. It is hard for humans to follow this example but we could make a better job of it if we would try hard enough. The alerts that have been given the coastal regions during the past few days make us aware that wind in any form is the one element of Nature we cannot combat. Fire and water can be brought under con trol by strength and man's ingenu ity if not allowed to get out of hand. But no machine-made inven tion has been found that can sub due a tornado, hurricane or any like wind velocity. Sun Wrecks Display HAGF.RSTOWN, Ind.

M ,r 5 ",TT, Food Is Biggest Worry For Germans BKRL1N lAP) The predomi nant worry of the German is where his next meal is coming from, an American military govern ment information control division opinion survey shows. Fifty-two percent of the Germans in the American zone said "food" when asked "what are your great est cares and worries at present?" The same question last January brought a similar response from only 29 percent of the population, just before the winter food crisis set in. Clothing and fuel appear less urgent to the German. Only one German in seven, for example, ex pressed anxiety over fuel during the peak of winter. Church Claim Is Biggest On Guam HONOLULU (API The Navy has paid the lagrest claim on Guam against the United States $.ri24.!).r0.23 to the island's Catholic Church. This was one of the 517 claims totaling $1,321,091.10 which have been authorized for payment said Adm. Louis K. Denfeld, com mander in chief of the Pacific. All claims paid so far with the excep tion of the Church's were for death and injury, according to the Navy announcement. I he Church claim covered 38 properties including the cathedral at Agana which was being com pleted when the Japanese invaded Guam in December. 1941. Maybe It Could Happen Only In Australia SYDNF.Y, Australia (UP) Aus Iralian style notes, observed In the "fantasy" hair-styling competition of a hairdressers' convention here: One shoulder, arm, and one side of the face of one model were painted bronze.

Most compulsory schoo' laws set the age at which a child must enter school at seven, hut most schools, she says, start the child in at the age of six. During the war, kindergarten and nursery schools were started ever-. where in the country for children aged four and five. The after-school, Saturday and summer-time schools are attempt ing to provide courses in art. music, dramatics, camping, play, physical education and other things that the five-day, nine-to-three schools do not have time for. As for the emphasis placed on understanding the other peoples of the world and what they have to contribute to the world. Miss Goodykoontz says s c h o o I s are stressing as well the importance of understanding our own form of government, now it works and how it might be made to work better "Our way is being challenged, so that wo need more than ever to understand its values and what each one of us can do to make il work more effectively," she says. Getting to the fourth significant trend in post-war school curricula. Miss Goodykoontz points out that most children live by pushing but tons, turning on switches, hooking up machinery. "This generation is surrounded by applications of science and we must teach them not only to use scientific things intelligently and safely, but also to understand them so that they can carry our science a step further and maybe develop new uses and devices themselves." Finds It Doesn't Pay To Volunteer RICHMOND, Va. (API Robert L. Turner, sexton at Grace and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, oil duty at the time, called for his wife at a church supper she was serving. He filled the magazine of the coal furnace but slipped and sprained his leg. The state industrial commission denied him compensation, noting that he had been granted leave for several days and that a sub stitute had been hired for him. This,-daid- the- eommismon, iwule him a "volunteer". There are more than 300 million cubic miles of ocean. Old Ulev Remember old Merlin, King Arthur's powerful magician, and the beautiful Guinevere? Well, as the story goes. King Arthur and the Knights of the Table Round, Queen Guinevere and all the rtst of the merry company at castle Camelot lived in a style and comfort that was the best in the world at that time. And, old Merlin was the most powerful magician of all time up to then. But with all of his incantations spells and abra-ca-dabra he couldn't light the castle, or flip a switch and listen to the radio, or keep food fresh as well as an electric refrigerator. He couldn't compete with the Electric Age at least not so far as keeping castle Camelot comfortable, and convenient, and attrac tive was concerned. Of course he was not a MODERN magician but if the lovely Guinevere had only known what we know, she would have wished he were. Maybe you are not a queen and do not live in a castle, but thanks to your dependable and low cost electricity you live bet' let than Guinevere, however powerful and beautiful she may have been. Launching Rockets At Sea Will Not Mean New Role For Plane Carriers WASHINGTON Navy office agree that the firing of a Gtnnan V-2 from the deck of the 45.O0O ton carrier Mulua was a demons tration of a se.i-going l.iuuchi ig site rattier than a new role for the flattops.

RUPPERT Charlie Davis 1 Pacific Coast Amused By Phony Penguins MONTEREY, Calif. (I.7P Den izens of Fishermen's Wharf wore amused smiles when they read that "penguins" had been seen along the Oregon coast. They've been seeing penguins here for years. The tuxedoed waddlers actually are helldivers who have the tnis fortun to dive into oil slicks in the ocean. Their wings temporally im mobilized by the tarry substance, the birds creep oat of the water and stagger along the beach in just about the same manner as the famed Antarctic show-offs. Hawaii fell below peacetime vol ume of sugar production during the war because her land and man power was used for military pur poses.
