But I don't think I would have beer able to write the stoty and that's why I'm writing you this . letter. I'm not sure whether everybody was try: ig to be nice to me or get rlri of me, but a lot of quver things happened on Friday the 13lh. 1 First of all, when I got through Chevricr said: "The heads of the shipbuilding industry have the satisfaction of seeing their shipyards peratc at f -ill capacity.'

Now he must have known that I was tired and I had a hard time saying "no thank you." ' But, you know Boss, that was just the start of a busy Friday the 13th. I hardly arrived at work (a little late, but awake) when the writing. Then he suggested I go for a car ride to Terrace with lnm. I think he infant "when I was through work, but . . . You know what the road is like between here and Terrace? Furthermore, there must be a lot of bridges to cros and stuff. I got out. of 't by saying I had to attend a council meeting. Fortunately, he's not on the council and he didn't know thcie wasn't a council meeting. Everything went along fine last of the four men who w"re until lunch time, when I mot the candidates in Thursday's election. This candidate wanted to know what I said about him and why. And, he had two friends with him. I knew them all, but after by earlier experiences I wasn't sure what these fellows were watching me for . . . o' I told him I was rushing to meet a boat and that the paper would be on the street shortly and I'd give him one. Later I took the candidate his paper. He was so glad he offered to take me out to supper. Being in such a frenzy, I had to tell him also about "the council meeting." By this time I decided I'd come home and write a letter to you. On the way I just missed getting hit by a piece of lumber one of those workmen -was swinging over a fence at Woolworth's new store, tripped and scuffed my shoes In front of Jerry's barber shop, met Oeorge Hills, Jack McRae and Doc Orme on the sidewalk, waved to Art Murray In his limousine and got back to the office just In time to wish the boys a pleasant evening after another day's work. You can see how frustrated I wa;. boss, so I didnt leave home all evening. Hope you're lot mad at me for not writing a featut; story on Friday but I'll be sure to do one the next time It's Friday the 13th.

(By MURIEL NARRAWAY) Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON Vancouver-born Wally Fawkes had to be talked Into doing what is probably the world's mast unorthodox comic strip, but he's gradually getting used to it. Tall, jazz-loving Wally wanted to create '"something serious." Instead, he started drawing a strip based on the adventures of Rufus, a shock-haired, round-eyed boy, and his ubiquitous companion Flook, a fur-coated crcw between a short-trunked elephant and a honey bear. The strip takes a lot of getting used to, most people find, but in the end 1U special qualities, whatever they are, usually conquer the reader. Started In 1949 in the Daily Mail, the strip now is syndicated in North America. a counted as pure invention with an obvious purpose. Critics point out: 1. Almost any assemblyman whose legal income is $6 or $7 a month could be found to have j accepted money from dubious sources. 2. This "plot," supposedly of long-standing, was exposed only weeks before the presidential election. 3. Martial law was used, in- j dicating an apparent reluctance to submit the case to normal ! legal channels 4. Only strong opponents, of President Rhee were involved, j 5. These developments, if! true, might well threaten the security of the government and OPIMON AROl'SED In April Suh Min Ho, assemblyman and Rhee critic, was attending a party at an inn. An uninvited army captain appeared and was killed in a gun duel with Suh. While the case was being investigated, the assembly voted Suh's release on grounds he acted in self-defence. The constitution provides that no assemblyman can be arrested unless he is caught while committing a crime. The South Korean army was irritated by the incident. Public opinion was aroused. sort of showing up how st,, WALLACE'S telephone rang and one of the candidates wanted to tell me that I could quote him as saying anything I wanted because he'd lost the election anyway. I thought that was very nice of him and thanked 'him - very much, but I'm wondering now if a ":trap" was being laid for me because shortly after that another friend came Into the office and after greeting me with a smile said: "I guess you'll be leaving soon, eh?" Then another candidate came Into the office with two friends. He wanted me to eny he was elected and really confuse the public. He didn't sav he'd cut mv throat or anything like that, but one of his friends suggested that I go for an airplane rld- with him in the afternoon. I managed to forget that situation until another candidate came in to ask me what I was : DEPT.
