MORTIMORE Animals and reptiles hive been bobbin? up in plates where they have no right to appear. a "monster," believed to be an alligator, is terrorising New Hamburg, Ontario. A four-foot-long rat attacked a swimmer in England. A seal raised its head in British Columbia's Shuswap Lake, far from the sea. Somewhere I heard that anacondas, large and nasty serpents which usually live in the Amazon valley, had escaped from zcos and established themselves in Florida. At first glance these reports look like strong arguments for prohibition. But water-drinkers saw the creatures, too. In an attempt to catch the New Hamburg monsters, they hired a man named Tuffy Truesdale, who "makes a living wrestling alligators," a highly specialized field If I ever heard of one. Truesdale must go a long time between matches. There are very few alligators in the wrestling game today. m . . - . i M . IS 55" v ' fct all ri- . .. . . . . .

I It will be sou:e considerable time before air-Waft of this sort is available in sufficient size and quantity to be put into regular service. That is not to say 'the prospect should be dismissed without further thought. In the Korean war helicopters proved invaluable for transporting personnel and equipment and, right next door to us, they have had a big part in assisting the Mean project through its initial stages. ' There should be no doubt that the day is coming When' vertical flying machines of some description Jvill be an accepted and popular form of transportation. But it is not in our best interests to wait in idleness until that day arrives. The aircraft that needs space for its take-offs and landings will be jvith us in increasing importance for many years to tome, and the community' that has a spot for it is Jn a favored position. In this respect Terrace, as an example close at iand, is doing nicely. Already furnished with an jiii-port, it is now receiving air-navigation equipment and is being promoted as a terminal on major routes. I By contrast Prince Rupert, with nothing but the restless bosom of the sea to offer, is lagging in Jhe primitive past. Some have suggested that, with ii good highway between the two points, the Terrace Airport could serve both. While it is doing this to a certain extent even now, the arrangement cannot e called the long-term and final answer. strategy in critical future elec-, the United States. Officials did not rule out the possibility that Dulles might again some day speak out forth-rightly. Last Thursday, two days before German voters went to the polls.

BEST OFFC FINEST OF CD: would be a disaster which would FOB TAKE Olid PhomX; i Nith River. I don't wish Tuffy any real harm, but I hope he finds the alligator and gets eaten by it. Perhaps he will have been eaten by the time this reaches print. There are too many interfering people in the world. The monster was minding its own business and Truesdale should do the same. The seal in Shuswap Lake has mercifully been left alone. So have the anacondas In Florida, if they really exist. Most neoole are inclined to hold their anger in check where anacondas are concerned, showing that thev sometimes have Fine Humanitarian Feelings. The fact that the anaconda grows up to 30 feet long may have something to do with it, too. As for the four-footlong rat that attacked a swimmer, it was really a coypu, a big South American water rat, if that indefinitely delay chances of i German unity and restored sovereignty for the German peu- ! pie.

Transplanting animals from one place to another Is a fascinating business, as the man said when he took the first rabbits to Australia. It makes vou feel like a mad scientist. There Is something comic about an animal straying out of context. Of course the amount of laughter depends on the species of animal. An escaped monkey Is a lot funnier than an escaped tiger.
