I1‘. JOHN'S. Nfld, Nov. 14 _ (GP) — Federal union between, Ganada and Newfoundland - if the islanders vote for it next year —wiii add to the Dominion 42,000 square miles of terfltory traversed by a 700-mile nan-ow-guage rail- way and studded with one city, 10 towns and innumerable fishing settlements whose names are as colorful as any that marked the old West.

With no trans-island highway the quickest way of travelling across Newfoundland is by plane. But because the island has only about a half dozen airports, tvwo of which belong to leased United States bases at Argentia and Ste. phanviile. seaplane: have to be used. Two small charter lines us- ing light craft are operating.

Most Newioundlanders depend on the fishery for a living and set up cottages and fishing "rooms" wherever a small boat may be an- chored safely. Many harbors are

Corner Brook, centre of Bowe- ters Newfoundland plup and pa- per mills, has a harbor which can take large freighters and is the nucleus of a. booming industrial area.

St. John's’ administrative cen- tre for Newfoundland and the 120,000 square miles of the Lab- rador dependency. is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cit- ies in the Western Hemisphere. since Sir Humphrey Gilbert took possession of the colony in Eng- land's name in 1583 the city has been fought for by the Dutch and French.

Baa Own Brogue

Now its Water Street —equival- ent to Toronto's Bay and Mont- real's St. James streets -- coh- trols a vast forest and fisheries empire whose merchant princes have world-wide trade connec- tions.

Its link with Britain is close and in this hilly city where the brogue of the Newfoundland bays, a mix- ture of Irish, Scottish and Devon- ian is spoken, you can hear the proper accents of young men of England's public schools.

Nearest large community to St. John's is Bell Island whose 7.000 people earn a livelihood from the 5.500.000.000-ton iron ore deposits in Conception Bay.

Across the bay from Bell Island lie Harbor Grace and Carbonear, two fishing communities with l. combined population of more than 6.500. Harbor Grace figured in pioneer trans - Atlantic flights when a makeshift air strip was built there.

_ Beyond them stretch hundreds of square miles of bare granite and lakeland with fishing villages like

R-IDG-IZIFIEILD PARK. N. J.. Nov. i4 —-(AP)— The elaborate gambling 59ml? WhlCll New York police said they recently uncovered was '3 liigiiclass example. says sandy. haired Audley Walsh, of the multi. farlous schemes, swindies. rackets and devices which he estimnlgs muict $500,000 annually from a gullible public. Walsh is a seFgeant on the Ridgefield Park police force who has been consulted by the Peder! Bureau 0,! Investigation and has gained national recognition because of his study of gaming rackets. To combat the rising tide of Easy-money operators, Walsh has lectured before I". B. I. classes, police departments and civic organizations.

While recuperating from a motor. cycle accident 15 years ago he took up the study of magic. became proficient and Joined the Society of American Magicians. He special. ized with slighnof-hand with coins, cards and dice. Other members of the police force soon turned to him as an authority where crooked gantblirig activities were involved. In short order. magic for entertainment was re- placed by police work and prosecution.

Walsh acquired an extensive array of gambling equipment and took the gimmicks apart to see what made tbem pay off. In almost every case he found. the sucker who bets could be cleaned out as quickly or as completely as the operator wished. There isn't: a carnival or roulette wheel that can't be “gaffed" by pedals, catches or magnets and controlled down to a gnat‘: hair by such a simple thing as leaning on the table.

In the carnival bag of sucker- iricks are many variations of the twtmway number gag, used in all sorts of dart and throwing games. The operator cln vary a number by training. awitc g or changing,‘ here's a simple cxaznpic:

years she had been away from Am- l erican schools. students had lostl a serious-minded approach to

their lives. The lack of “intel- lectual curiosity" was particular- ly evident.

Part of this situation was due to the unsettling effect of the war while the rest was attributable to lack of parental control.

American children might benefit by Turkish discipline while Turk- ish children could safely be gratit- ed more freedom, she said.

Even though Turkish women had tossed off veils and harems were things of the past. girls. were rigidly controlled by parents and school authorities.

The Turkish Education Depart- ment forbade smoking and use of lipstick and nail-polish even for college girls. Parents were strict about the chaperone question, sei- dom allowing their daughters to "go out" with a man unaccompan- ied uniess they were engaged.

Her biggest lob in Turkey was dispellingthe Hollywood version of American life while in the North American continent she wished to erase the "terrible Tur " illusion in American minds.
