(U.R) Sasquatch Sas-quatch and Cadborosaurus, each of whom would be the "catch of the year" for any zoo in the country, coun-try, remains allergic to the 20th century. Cadborosaurus, in fact, hasn't been heard from in many months. Previously, natives and fishermen claimed to have obtained fre-q fre-q u e n t, although momentary, glimpses of "Caddie" the sea serpent ser-pent as he glided along the western west-ern Canadian coastline. Then there's Saseruatch. Ten feet tall and covered with shaggy shag-gy brown hair. He completes the other half of British Columbia's prize pair of primeval relics. Sasquatch supposedly emerged from the forests a short time ago. Indians long had claimed the existence ex-istence of a tribe of hairy giants not far from the Washington State border.

Radio Goes On the Hair In Your Hat By NEA Service NEW YORK (NEA) "Hey, lady, you're talking through your hat." "It's very possible, young man. my hat is a radio, you know." By means of a chapeau, now be- ins produced as the Radio Hat, complete with two tubes, an antenna an-tenna and an earphone, it will be possible for, a woman to go shopping, shop-ping, and tuck her favorite soap opera atop her curly little head. It will be equally possible tor a baseoau ian to go oui m ine Yankee Stadium, and, in a moment mo-ment of feverish exuberance, skim the Brooklyn Dodger broadcast broad-cast onto the field. Likewise, the whole family can go to the movies at night, yet each member can stay tuned to his favorite evening entertainment. Probably the greatest advance in our civilization since the whirl ing beanie, the Radio Hat consists of a two-tube radio set built into a troDical helmet. The control dial is set forward, above the eyes, flanked by two tubes. A circular antenna is set jauntily toward the rear. When the soap opera is over, tne antenna is a line spoi for drying out handkerchiefs. Inside the hat's lining, in a quarter-inch-thick arrangement, are the wiring, resistors, condensers, condens-ers, tuning coil and other parts. A standard earphone tastens to the hat on one side. Power comes from a small pocket battery. The hat comes in a giddy array of colors, Including canary yellow, yel-low, lipstick red, turquoise, chartreuse, char-treuse, tangerine, lavender blue, and something called cnimeric cerise. But the color is perman- nent. no matter what program is coming through the hat. L J Chemical Selected To Age White Flour MINNEAPOLIS (U.R) Most large flour mills are installing new machinery to aid the aging process of white bread flour. A -new chemical chlorine dl- oxide is used to age the flour. It replaces agene, used the past 25 years. Agene, a gas, occasionally occasional-ly gave dogs and cats running fits, although it apparently never harmed humans. To be on the safe side, however, the millers and the federal food and drug administration agreed on the use of chlorine dioxide. This chemical, physiologists report, re-port, does not tend to make the human nervous, as may be the case with agene. Radio in your bonnet: be a superhatrodyne? Could it Waits 28 Years To Use Scholarship MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (U.R)i Turia Rinehart won a scholarship for her exhibit at Charleston State Fair but waited 28 years to use it. Other studies, marriage and I sundry activities took up all her; time during the past quarter cen- , tury but "she finally got around ; to enrolling in West Virginia University's Uni-versity's extension course. Turia (now Mrs. King) will use the j scholarship to complete work for a bachelor's degree in education.! Stropping Revived In Ccncdo City fo Curb Youtfi TORONTO. ; Ont. ' U.R Strap ping of prisoners, a form of pun-n ishment abolished or dying out In most countries, has been revived her. The intention is to combat a serious outbreak of gang violence. In one day. seven youtha were sentenced to prison terms-ranging from two to five years plus 10 strokes of the strap each. The strap was called into use as a last resort after teen-age fang battles, indecent assaults and rob bery became almost a daily occur rence on tne city's streets.' Since the war, youths in poorer sections of the city had been forming form-ing into gangs known by such names, as the deanery Boys, the Tips Gang, the Junction Boys and the Boon Avenue Boys. These gangs, whose members wear some distinguishing article of dress, had developed a language lan-guage of their own that accurately reflects their habits and behavior. If a gang member runs from a fight with a rival group he is a "chicken." If he "squeals" on a friend he is a "fink." Publicity Welcomed Any escapade that involves breaking the law is a "caper." Newspapers have given promi nent display to the activities of the gangs, and this notoriety was welcomed wel-comed by the youthful hoodlums. Social workers and psycholo gists agree on the fundamental reasons behind the formation of the aangs. They placed the blame on the breakdown of normal fam ily life during the war nd the restlessness of the post-war)era. The social workers and psycho logists differ greatly, however, in their proposals for solving the problem. The use of force has many supporters, sup-porters, while others interested in the city's youth favor more organized, recreation for youths in poorer districts. Pastor Takes Lead The Rev. Gordon Domm, pastor of a United Church of Canada parish in the city, has taken the lead in the drive for supervised recreation. He has allowed members mem-bers of one gang to meet in his church hall. He encourages the gang to form baseball and hockey teams and to hold dances and CARNIVAL By DICK TURNER mc t. m. m. . a. mt. tm.

Dixon, 07, vice president presi-dent in charge of operations for the Great Northern railroad, was found dead in his home Tuesday. other entertainments in the church hall. Domm's word was welcomed by police and court officials, the same authorities who applauded the revival of strapping. Police officers and judges, who meet juvenile delinquency daily, felt that both force and enlight ened social work had their place in the solution of gang violence. Increased opportunity for un derprivileged youth to lead a useful use-ful life was vitally necessary, they said, but the strapping of serious offenders also would help in breaking up outlaw gangs. 100 Years Ago In Utah 0- Doctor Endorses Apple-A-Day Idea ST. LOUIS (U.R) Promotion of mass X-rays and periodic medical medi-cal check-ups, whether needed or not, is making hypochondriacs out of Americans, in the opinion of a noted British physician. Dr. James F. Brailsford of Birmingham, Bir-mingham, England, founder of th B tish Association of Radiologists, Radio-logists, told medical students in lectures here that the custom is creating a "sickness-minded con-c con-c -n. If a person is well and happy, Dr. Brailsford said, he should stay away from doctors. (Continuing the diary of Elisa P. Lyman, who is living In Millard Co., Utah Territory.)
