At left, some of the hundreds of spectators at the field give one In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Mishmash in the news: The other day Queen Elizabeth nl England paid a ceremonial visit to the little town of Aber gavenny in Wales. According to ancient tradition, when the Queen of England visits Abergavenny she must so first to the city hall. From her carriage to the door, she must walk on a rich red carpet. The carpet must be provided by the town of Abergav enny. This year il was different. There was no red carpel. There was no red carpet because the town could no longer afford In buy or rent one. A special tax would have had to be levied, and the town fathers came to the con clusion I hat the people just couldn't afford to pay any more taxes. So They decided The Queen would have to walk this year from her carriage to the town hall on stone steps painted with red liquid linoleum. She did so and everything went off all right. The Queen was just as gracious as if she had walked in over a red carpet, and the people were much happier than they would have been if they had had to dig into their pockets for more taxes to pay for the red carpet. A thought: If governments EVERY WHEHE-including the U.S.A. would follow this example set by the town council of Aliergavcnny, I think they would find that less extravagant government would be just as efficient as more extrava gant government, and that the people who pay the taxes would be much happier.

The idea is that w hen the Ann .start to bite the Dostman will spray the stuff in the canine's face. Preliminary tests show that dugs thus sprayed put Iheir tails between their legs and beat a hasty retreat. In most cases, the experiments sliow. dogs exposed time or two to the stuff never again atlack a postman. The experiment is In be car ried out over a fairly wide area. In addition to the Bay Area, post men in Baltimore. Miami and De troit will be supplied with the anti-doe weapons. They will be expected In keep track of Ihe number of times they are bitten and the number ol times they succeeded in rejicl ling canine attackers. The experi ment will be carried out over a period of three months and if it proves successful mail carriers throughout the nation will I sup plied wiih the Hart equipment. Weil, our kindly old I'nile is to be conjiatuialed because of his solicitude (or his employes, but it just might be thai he is picking the wrong kind of individuals to be mail carriers.
