Being Knocked

FREDERICTON (CP) - Lord Beaverbrook. famous publisher, businessman and politician. has revealed the secret of his rise to fame but he doesn't advise any- one to follow it.

In a series. My Young Days in New Brunswick. in the Atlantic Advocate, Beaverbrook says he probably owos his success to a pair of boots and a mowing mach- me.

The Advocate's editor and pub- lisher. Brig. J. M. S, Wardell. says the acquisition of the series is a typical Beaverbrook story in it- self. Beaverbrook "wrote it and gave it to me as a surprise birth-

y gift. ARDUOUS TASK

"I hope you like this present." said Bcaverbrook. "because I have worked hard on it. But don't hesi- tatc to send it back to me for more work or as a rejected manu- script."

in the series. Beaverbrook ex- plalned the mowing machine incl- dent this way:

"in summertime. when the weather was hot. it was the habit of boys in my home town (New- castle. N.B., although he was born in Maple, near Torontol to lo barefoot. I did so by choice. al- though the chlldren who continued to wear boots came. on the whole. from the more respectable parts of the village."

"One autumn when I had put on

ing mowing machine drawn at the tail of a cart attracted my atten- tion . Along with others, I took hold of the pole (extending from the m '-' ), meaning to run along with it. . .

"My boots. to which I was not yet accustomed. brought me down in the road and the wheel of the mowin machine passed over my head. I e cogs making a mark on my ear which I carry to this day. STARTLING DISCOVIIY

Young Max Altken regained con- sciousness several days later I-0 make a startling discovery.

"Whoa I took hold of the pole of that mowing machine I was a stupid boy. showing no remark- able quallties whatever. I do not believe I was born with an Illule brain. There was certainly nothing to pmve it up to then.

"But when I returned to con- sciousness after the accident. I was a clever boy." ”

Altken put "that cracked brain

In the next 10 years he became a leading figure In British poli- tics. "Then. turning swiftly aside to Fleet Street at the age of 40. I started with the bankrupt Daily Express on a journalistic career. created The Sunday E reu, and added The Evening standard. . ."

Somewhere along the way he found time to write two volumes entitled Politicians and the War. and a series of essays on Good Fortune.

”Mnny epithets. favorable and unfavorable. have been applied to my carrer, but the word 'uninter- estlng' is not one of them," he said. ' WHEN WRITING PAYS

On the subject of writing. Beav- erbrook told of the following con- versation between himself and Winston Churchill.

"What are you doing?" Churciilll asked.

"Many readers will say 'What. no milking machines' No! No milking machines for first - class pedigree Guernsey stock. Each cow personally attended and posi- tively treated with indlvldual care and attention. That's the way to milk records."

Beaverbrook said his knowledge of farming once didn't help fur- ther his polltical campnlg for Empire free trade-ta plea for the exclusion of foreign food products in favor of Empire production.

"Let us bring to the Empire the employment given to mllkmaids who work for us in Denmark and Holland and Belgium." Beaver- brook argued. To fortify his claim to farming lore he told his audi- ence how he used to drive his father's cow from pasture to hem twice daily in New Brunswick.

A soot in the audience asked: "And what did ya dae wl' the coo when ye brlcht her tae the byre?"

Beaverbrook answered: "Milked her. of course."

"That's what ye'll dae tae ua gin (if) ya get your Empire pref- erence plan." the Scot replied.

DORIS DAY STARS IN "JULIE" CAPITOL SUMMEIISIDE

Doris Day plays Lbe most tauily dramatic role of her career in "Julie." at the Capitol Theatre. with a big cast co-starring Louis Jourdan, Barry Sullivan and Frank Lovejoy-

First Arwln Production for M- G-M release. directed by Andrew Stone and produced by Martin Mel- cher, the picture is a spine-tingling shocker. telling the story of a wom- an fleeing from the insanely jeal- nus husband who has threatened to murder her.

In the role of the tormented wife.

Miss Day has an even more taxing part than those of her two previous dramatic hits. "The Man Who Knew Too Much" and "Love Me Or Leave Me." which first cate- pulted the celebrated singing star into a new career as a dramatic actress. Louis Jourdan. whose last auc- ceas was with Grace Kelly in "Tho Swan." offers a surprise by play- ing his first "heavy" role as the psychotic killer. Barry Sullivan is the man who precipitates Jour- dan'a jealous obsession and comes close to being one of his victims. Frank Lovejoy plays the detec- tive to whom Miss Day turns for help when her husband tracks her down from one city to another.
