It happened that on that particular evening, I was to bo a guest at high table at Massey College, when Mr. Vincent Massey held court I tarried over long with my "band of brothers," as Greg Clark calls them, and dashed by cab to the college, embarrassingly late.

The quick change from downtown revelry to the austere rituals of Mr. Massey high table sent me into cultural shock from which I did not recover for several hours. The purpose of last night's gathering was to prepare me for flight to Vancouver, where I was beaded for medical reasons to wit, to address several hundred doctors, at dinner, to be followed by dancing. My Toronto companions had many racy and ribald suggestions as to what I might tell the medics, including some pill and transplant jokes of great potency and wit. Greg Clark, the master story-teller as well as the Inventor of sideburns, was able to silence Messrs.

The comovi cold served as a bond uniting man and superman.

Yes sir, there's an awful lot of advertising space presently going to waste in outer space. But may-be not for long. NO JACKPOT VVmATEVER THAT "thing" in the voting booth was, it was not a "voting machine," as had been widely publicized. (And to think I almost went to Las Vegas for a refresher course on one-armed bandits as a tuneup for election day.) I don't know about your mind, but to my mind the term "voting machine" suggests, automatically, an intricate arrangement of levers which, when manipulated, activate complicated innards. These, in turn, produce mysterious whirring noises punctuated by equally mysterious bell-ringing.

(It also occurred to me that voters lucky enough to hit the "jackpot" might have their taxes refunded.) Being one of those persons who always come off second-best in an encounter with any machine, I was a bit leery of going to the polls unless accompanied by a technical adviser in the person of an engineering graduate. What a relief it was to discover that the "voting machine" was no more complicated than the corner-store punchboard of my youth. CLEANUP BLITZ THOUGH THE election is over, the city remains papered 1 with campaign signs and the speedy removal of same would be much appreciated by the citizenry. I understand that an attempt will be made this weekend to organize a co-operative sign-removing "blitz." All candidates who had signs and posters put up will be asked to supply a few volunteer workers to take them down. The proposed cleanup is a good idea and should be supported.
