House of Representatives have one thing in common: dull, endless speeches by members who drone on just to be able to point out to their constituents that they're on the job "further ing their interests." One such notorious bore was orating in Commons when Mr. Churchill was prime minister. Barely staying awake, he was amazed to note that one fellow mem ber was adjusting his ear .trumpet in order to hear better. "Blasted idiot!" mut tered Churchill. "Denying himself his natural advantages!" A brash counterfeiter was boasting about his exploits to a new girl friend. "I'll show you how easy it is to fool the ninnies in this neighborhood," he proposed. "This afternoon I bought a dollar's worth of cigars in that shop across the street, and handed the clerk a ?15-bill in payment The fool not only accepted it without question, but gave me two $7-bills as change."

Thirty men from the Bate and Jantzer operations fought the fire from its outbreak at noon Thursday and a relief crew took over early Friday morning. $ The blaze burned over dry timber in land described by forest patrol dispatcher Bill Pope as "steeper than a cow's face." He said the fire broke away from the slash burning about noon and one finger of flames spread toward the Kerby lookout and another toward Munger creek. The caterpillar has five eyes, but its vision is so poor it must find food by its sense of smell. Rising cider prices in Lon don reflect the failure of last fall's apple crop.
