l GREATEST MISTAKE

l

L Danny did not finiah high school. He often said that was his greatest mistake. Some of his Verses were about the value of a good educa- tion.

He got lots of mail from his thousands of readers. especially at Christmas. ,,

"They tell me it's the simplicity of my Poem! they like."

He published a collection of 51 three years ago. He hoped to get out another book of 125 next month.

His last published verse in Tucs- di1y'5 P899? was title "Use Cau- tion." It was about forest fires

"When you within our forests tread make sure no blaze your light will spregd. , , ," --Danny wrote on many subjects:

On keeping busy: ". . . If you wish to be successful don't indulge in idle talk. Be a really busy per- son and forget about the clock."-

On a storekeeper longing to go

fishing: " . .By the fishln' bug he's bitten. one can tell by just a glance. for he's waltin' on each patron as though he is in a tram-c." NOT EASY

On politicians: ". . . With mak-

ing speeches. shaking hands, when all is said and one, a politician's role is not a very easy one."

On elections: "Now normally together. work side-by-side to face the world in any kind of weather. But now in this election year. they're found in different dorles- Big Jim ia working for the Grits while Jane is for the Tories. . ."

0 hymn - singing: "When the world seems dark and dreary. and my view of life is dim. I can find great consolation in the slngng of a hymn."

At St. Andrew's Unted Church in Springlilll Friday they'll be sing- ing hymns for Danny.

By KEN METHERAL .. .. Canadian Press Staff Writer .. LONDON ICPD - For the first time in lo years British tourist: can go to Canada with some dol- lars in their pockets. In a move that meets the oft- exprcssed Canadian wish that Brit- ish tourists could visit their coun- try. the chancellor of the excheq- ucr, Peter Thorncycroft, Tuesday announced in the House of Com- mons that each wurl-st will be al- lowed an annual travel allowance of 2100 for visits to the dollar arcn. Thorneycroft said the ban on travel in North America. which went into effect during the con- vertibility crisis of i947, "has erected an unnatural banter be- tween the Engllsh-speaklng P909195 which should not be allowed to continue any longer than neces- nary." The announc i made no dis- tinction between visits to Canada ad the United States. but spokes- men for two government depart- ments - Commonwealth relations

and the treasury-said the conces- slou was "meant particularly for Canada."

GREETED WITH CHEERS

The announcement was greeted with cheers from both sides of the House.

Later a spokesman for the Com- monwealth relations department said the minister. the Earl of Home. was "overjoyed." Lord Home. who visited Canada last year. has been a firm advocate of the need to ease travel restric- tions to Canada.

Canadians have been urging the lifting of the travel ban for sev- eral years at both official and mi official levels. Prime "' ' A St Laurent brought the question up in his recent Bermuda talks with British Prime Minister Macmillan.

The Canadian argument has been that freedom of travel would allow people on both sides of the Atlantic to get to know each other better and to appreciate mutual problems.

Mr. Bowie. addressing the lath annual meeting of the Telephone Association of Canada. said plans for the cable-to supplement the recently completed transatlantic cable--now are under way. "Tile quality of voice transmis- sion ll so -good and the public need so great that the six circuits assigned to Canada in the orig- inal cable fllled up immediately." said Mr. Bowie.

”It quickly became clear tiial we must give early consideration to providing more transatlantic telephone facilities of the same high quality in order to meet the demand which will undoubtely in- crease with the continuing growth of the country."
