In the country where there are no side\Ya1ks pedes'trians are in the habit of using the hig.hway. Almost always in the sparse]v settled districts walkers must travel on the roadwa v.

It i almost a truism that p ople who hate d ogs arc those who have never owned such a pet. Once own one and it s a different story. But what we starteJ out to say was that in many instances where dog. are accused of nipping children one karns upon im·estigation that the children have hcen guilty of teasing the animal. \Ye ha\'e a dog who takes the other side of the . trcet when small boy s come prancing along.

Yes, yes, doctor, but now that you've mentioned it, doesn't it occur to you that ping pong simply has them all cheated for genuine unadulterated thrills? Tennis and baseball are perhaps a bit tame. hut as for ping pong, 0, Doctor, how could yon ? The Old Plug, who is manuevering about in Canada these torrid August days, probably has an entirely different version of the "q~een of sports."
