APRIL FOOL
NEW YORK The Bronx zoo
and the New York aquarium, fed
up with the annual deluge of April
fool phone calls asking "for Mr.
Fish" or "Miss Seal," decided to
cooperate with the practical jok
ers. Special operators employed to
handle the thousands of calls were
instructed to answer such queries
with a gentle:
"April fool!"
AGAINST STRIKES
Fresh demands for anti-strike
laws! were made in both houses of
Congress Wednesday. In the mean
time, two committees of the house
were instructed to probe the whole
defense program.
Mrs. Reardon keeps an endless
watch at the bedside. Nearby, a
miniature altar and crucifix lighted
by candle-flame, have been fash
ioned on a tiny dressing table for
the mother's hours of daily prayer.
Novenas for the child's recovery
are conducted by hundreds of wor
shippers at several Chicago church
es. Another novena is held at a
church in Louisville, Ky., where
Mary Ellen's father, a defense
project worker, spends most of his
leisure hours, Mrs. Reardon said:
"I have never given up hope.
Time and prayer will bring Mary
Ellen back to me well and happy."
RALEIGH Two quirks in North
Carolina's new anti-wine bill might
allow the shipment of carload lots
of the most potent liquor imagina
ble to dry counties, some sources,
said this week.
The first joker, which apparent
ly was a mistake, says that more
than gallon lots of fortified wines
may be shipped by ABC stores to
residents of dry counties.
The second joker defines forti
fied wines as wines of more than 14
per cent alcohol by volume, which
have been spiked by adding alcohol.
The sources pointed out that no
maximum alcoholic content was
specified in the definition of forti
fied wines. Consequently, it might
be possible to take one drop of wine
fortify it with a hundred gallons of
straight alcohol, and ship it from
an ABC store to a resident of a
dry county.
Chances are, though, that this
will never happen, because the ABC
store administrators are understood
to be considering an agreement un
der which no fortified wines will be
sent to dry counties.
Despite a recent ruling by At
torney General Harry McMullan on
the effective dates of the new wine
measure, this matter too has been
the subject of much debate.
Original Definition of Acre
An acre was originally defined at
the area a yoke of oxen could plow
in a day.
