Strange \llut True

By F. H. IIACAIUIIII

There are two vowels in every year, two in each week and at least two in every day.

A record 8,605,000 new out- patients during 1952 was recorded by Britain's National health ser- vice.

The good old dairy cow contri- butes seven hundred and fifty mil- lion dollars annually to Canada's national income, and provides 2% million Canadians with their liveli- hood, in whole or in part.

The dangerous Dan McGrew of poet Robert Service‘: book may have been a fictitious character. But the lady known as Lou was a real person, and one of the sourdoughs who danced with the infamous Lou, Robert McFarlane, recently died at Victoria, B. C. aged 81 yea.rs.

Farmers in Canada and the U. S. A. are producing an aver- age of 60 per cent more product: than they did 40 years ago and from only 11 per cent more har- vested acres.

After dropping his wallet while feeding cows. Jack Shaw of lﬁings County, saw his cows eat $5.00 in currency before he could stop them. But the animals simply refused ' to eat a $50 cheque which also fell amongst them.

The goal justified the struggles, for George Bernard Shaw. His first play netted him 3200., his last brought in royalties of nearly a quarter of a. million.

So you have dreams of marry- ing your boss. ey? Only one secre- tary is 420 ever marries her boss. so you see, girls who expect to marry the boss aren't likely to get far in business or romance.

Most of the bosses are too busy to bother with office romance, and they are usually old enough to be their secretaries‘ fathers with pot bellies, spectacles and bald domes.

To restore a pack of playing cards to their former cleanliness, rub each card gently with a. small sponge dripped in spirits of camp- hor.

Bernarr MacF‘adden, 06, never uses a bed but does all his sleep- ing on the floor of his small Park Avenue apartment in New York City.

la.ntl—and this is the cue every few years - the cows eat first. yet none of the poorly fed ani- mals yields more than a few quarts of milk a day.

No one in these kingdoms would think of killing a cow to eat. For instance. in the famine of 1944, people starved but not the cows. And it would be a bold native indeed who would slaughter one to appease his appetite.

This situation creates a. mighty problem for the Belgian administra- tion as they seek to civilize the inhabitants. halt erosion, and in- cease the land's productivity. some steps have already been taken to cause the worn out lands to yield decent crops but little or no pro- gress has been made in combating the ancient reverence for cows. The turtle is one of the strang- est creatures that nature has en- volved. They are the only known surviving reptiles with a long ex- terior armor.

In place of teeth, turtles have a horny-edged beak, like that of B bird. While still in the egg- shell young turtles look very much like birds.

The turtle having no defense weapons puts all his trust in armor.

An ordinance in Fargo, ND., says that no man may smoke a cigar- ette in the presence of a lady. The noted French Historian, Jean Grlmod, recently published a learned thesis claiming that Joan of Arc was “never burned" and that wasn't her name. Grimod claims that the English burned at masked “witch" in Joan's place: that Joan lived on and was

tion.

This historian causes one to raise an eyebrow when he tells us that Joan was really the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Orleans, brother of King Charles VI of France, and Isabel of Bavaria. The writer points to the questions of the eccelesiastic court that tried the girl for witchcraft. Then Eng- lish knowing Joan's origin, burn- ed her effigy because they did not want to burn someone of royal birth.

As proof of this the maid of Orleans‘ marriage certificate, sign- ed by the Dean of Metz, is still in existence but don't ask me where you can find it. I don't know. The fact that Joan of Arc was canonlzed in 1920. and is one of the most revered of French saints. makes the story of Grimod'a sound like a terrible scandal.
