The Brasso wagon has had' some good running times but has been dogged by bad luck which means WINDING UP: One of the many aspects of being a Stampede Queen or princess is that the food, at least during Stampede, is exceptionally good. Many restaurants and dining rooms make their Stampede contributions by inviting the trio, and friends, for dinner. This year, Pattl Girling and her two princesses, Dawn McLean and Diane Wallace, ate at the Dynasty, Caesar's, the Three Greenhorns, the Inn on Lake Bonavista, the International Hotel, Marco's and the Calgary Tower, as well as at a couple of private clubs. And this year all three girls suffered from the flu at one time or another. Chaperone is Inei Shaver, who was a princess back in 1949.

HERE AND THERE: Sec him working as pick-up man in the infield at the Calgary Stampede and you realize that Wayne Void (or the horse) is very skilled. Void, of course, carries almost-impeccable rodeo credentials although he's now a stock contractor instead of a competitor. But his skills aren't limited to rodeo. He's emerging as a 6inger and just might make it big in that field. He has a record out now that's selling well.

Each morning during Stampede he and his group performed in Palllser Squart. And in the evening they worked some of the local cabarets. He also has an LP coming out this fall. His voice is good and he has a solid group backing him up. How docs singing fit in with rodeo contracting: "Well, about the only difference is that now I get paid for singing.

I always liked to sing and at any parties it was always pretty easy to encourage me to step up. This is a lot different, of course, but I'm really enjoying it. 1 have no idea how far I might be able to go with it. Let's just say I don't think Johnny Cash has to worry." While on music, I might as well get in a plug for a cousin who has come a long way since we grew up in Bentley. He's Dickie Oamron and he's playing Volda, Lorraine Blackburn, Marian Barrett, Bradley Flock and Roy War.

He still has some duties, some appearances to make, but the big difference between being president and past president, he says, is "that you don't have to be quite as prompt." No one really, except those in charge, were aware of it but the saloon in the Corral almost ran out of beer last Saturday. "Another 15 minutes," says one official, "and we might have had a lot of trouble. After all.

if you charge a guy to get in and then have no beer to serve him, it's possible to believe that there might be a little criticism. The beer, by the way, is split evenly among the three Alberta breweries. has there been a father and a son who have made it to the Calgary Stampede presidency. Obviously, the chances of it happening are extremely rare And Jerry D'Arey, who's to take, over the presidency after George Crawford, says he'll need one of the electric carts to get around. "There's no way," he says, "that my legs and back will stand up 'x v.

But the Soviet government and the National Chess Federation have apparently yet to decide whether the Russian chess champion can keep the earnings from his Reykjavik encounter with American challenger Bobby Fischer. Viktor Baturinsky, director of the Soviet Chess Club, said in Moscow the allocation of Spassky's prize money "has not been decided." He made it clear, though, that the chess club feels entitled to a good chunk of Spassky's winnings. It is illegal for a Soviet citizen to possess foreign currency. But the regulation is waived for some of the Soviet elite permitted to travel abroad and earn Western currency.

Even if he loses, Spassky, 35. will return home with about $119,375. At the official exchange rate that's 98,245 rubles and 63 kopeks, or more than the average Russian worker can make in 78 years. And if he wins, Spassky gets an estimated $180,625. FRASER MACDOUGALL retiring CP chief Fraser MacDougall this weekend drops his responsibility for the Ottawa news report of The Canadian Press.

After 31 years' CP service, 13 of them as the news cooperative's chief of bureau in the federal capital, he goes on leave pending formal retirement Sept. 7, when he becomes 65. A. M. (Arch) MacKenzie, 46, assistant chief of bureau since 1971, succeeds MacDougall as chief, supervising the over-all CP news and picture job in Ottawa.

These three other staff changes are involved: Carl Mollins, 41, now Ottawa parliamentary editor, becomes Ottawa news editor; Dal Warrington, 55, news editor at Halifax since 1959, becomes parliamentary editor at Ottawa; Ian Donaldson, 37, Halifax deskman and reporter, becomes Halifax news editor. The Warrington and Donaldson shifts are effective in the fall. MacDougall, born at Stratford, joined CP in Toronto in 1941 from Sault Ste. Marie Star and was chief of Ontario service from 1945 before his move to Ottawa in 1959. MacKenzie, a native of Re- -gina, joined CP at Montreal in 1946 and in addition to service there and in Ottawa worked at Vancouver, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, London, England and Washington.

He was CP staff correspondent in the United States capital for five years before his 1969 transfer to Ottawa. for auto theft and an addi-i tional six months for breaking and entering. I i tell me what the New Politics is." "I haven't the time," he said. "Nor for that matter, the knowledge. The truth is that I am not a politician, but a professor of mathematics and computer science." In the New Pontics, it seems, disagreement about who should be allowed to speak for the people a disagreement we often have, as you know, even in the old politics, not to mention the middle-aged politics the argument is settled by mathematical formulas so complex that they can be solved only by professors of arithmetic.

In short, Dick, the New Politics is nothing more than the old mathematics. You can do as you like, of course you always do but I think we should leave it to the Democrats. You know professors as well as I do. Off now for an orange juice-and-coconut-husk in the New Luau gymnasium. My best to Pat.

John. P.S.: if Spiro could see all this hair down here he would go right off the scope. That is the entire letter. Will the owner please claim it? New Politics is when you say, 'we're sick and tired of having the fate of the party settled by politicians in smoky rooms, so we're going to go to the. And then, after you've gone to the people, it turns out as usual that nobody knows for sure what the people want But you've got a lot of conflicting evidence.

"So you call in a lot of lawyers and they look at all the evidence, and tell you what it means and, therefore, what the party can do." "Are you saying," I asked this fellow, "that the New Politics is when the fate of the party is settled by lawyers in smoky rooms instead of by politicians in smoky rooms?" "Exactly," he said. Well, Dick, speaking frankly, I see nothing wrong with that. You and I are lawyers. I am tempted to say "better lawyers than politicians," but I know how you relish your reputation for political acuity. The third man I stopped was a particularly wild looking bird.

Almost certainly a college professor, I thought to myself, as I held him with my glittering eye and rented moustache. "Stop my good man," I said and The answers were almost as curious as the people who uttered them. "Look," one young man told me, "the New Politics is when "you want to change the world, and the other guys want you to leave the world alone. What do you do? You write a plank in the political platform. It says, 'we are going to change the "Then you go to a big public hall you've rented, where there are a lot of cops and a lot of television cameras and you sit there all night arguing.

Should the party declare that it's going to change the world, or shouldn't it? "About three or four o'clock in the morning, when the last television set in America has been turned off, you take a vote. The side that wins jeers at the side that loses. And then the side that loses says it is going to bolt the party. That is the New Politics." Dick, if that is the New Politics, then what Barry and Nelson and all the rest of you were doing in San Francisco in 1964 was the New Politics, and my advice would be to forget However, I didn't want to take one man's word for it, so I asked another. "Look," this chap told me, "the MIAMI BEACH-Hcre is a letter somebody left in an unsealed envelope which was dropped in the lobby of the Attila the Hun Hotel and Solarium Club Beach Palace: Dear Dick: As you suggested, I put on my Paul McCartney wig, a rented moustache and some blue jeans which Kleindienst got for me from one of the prison laundries, took a plane' to Miami and checked into the Attila the Hun Hotel and Solarium Club Beach Palace after explaining to Martha that it was really more in the nature of a vacation, which I really needed, than a continuation of my political work.

As you further suggested, I started immediately to try to find an answer to the question, what is the New Politics? This I did by posting myself ob-strusively between the entrance to the high colonic room (Dancing Nightly to the Tunes of Irving Berlin) and a bronze victory bust of the Emperor Caracalla, or possibly Louis XIV, and addressing various persons among the thousands of hairy and dangerous? looking radicals who pass that point in the lobby at all hours of the day and night.

Goren on bridge There was a wind on the promenade deck, blowing skirts and giving an illusion of movement, as if we were under way. Here and there along the deck they had set out life-size photographs of others who had strolled that same deck, so that one might imagine he was meeting Sir Winston Churchill out for his exercise; Mar-lene Dietrich, the incomparable, in her mannish tweeds; Dolores del Rio, walking her white bull terrier. In the shopping section they call Piccadilly Circus we loked into a heraldry shop. As a joke I asked if the Smiths had a coat of arms.

"But yes," said the clerk. "Smith. Of course." He produced a plaque with the name Smith, a bear rampant, and the motto luceo non uro. It is hard to describe my feelings. I had never before laid eyes on my family escutcheon.

"You want to lay aloft to the bridge?" La Vove asked. The bridge was crowded with ton-d 1 peering into the radar screens and out through the windscreen to the foc'sle. "Let's lay below," I said, "to the forward bar." I had spent the last voyage in the forward bar. I wanted to see if the mural was" still there. It had stretched 30 or 40 feet above the backbar, a picture of a night of revels.

I hoped they hadn't ripped it out to remodel. It was there. They were still dancing; ladies and lords and soldiers and sailors and even the chef, dancing with joyous abandon in the grand salon. It was a celebration of some glorious moment in history; the first night out, perhaps, after the war. Whatever it was, I was glad the mural had survived.

The loudspeaker was still blasting "Rule Britannia!" when we went out of date. I had always been a skeptic about the Queen Mary. I had called it the greatest maritime disaster since the Titanic. But now I felt a flicker of ashore; splendid anthem though a bit kinship with the old tub. Yes.

I'm an American, but we Smiths have our roots in that sceptered isle. It changes a man to find out he's got a coat of arms. The ship's third officer, in white ducks, gave us a stiff nod as we came aboard. He looked young for such a responsibility. There was an air of imminent departure.

Now and then an able-bodied seagirt in red middy and blue hotpants trotted by on some nautical errand. We lunched on roasted beefsteak and mushroom pie in Lord Nelson's prime rib, by the sea windows looking across the channel to the Long Beach skyline. "Interesting word, wog," said La Vove over a strawberry trifle. "Lord Kitchener wanted his ranks to quit mistreating the natives, you know. 'Remember, he said, 'they are western oriental Naturally, they shortened it to wog." La Vove is a library of such exotic trivia, gleaned from his adventures round the world.

He was two years in India during the war, flying the hump into China. Since then he's turned up everywhere. Once in the early 50s I saw him save a man's life in the highlands of Guatemala, but that's another story. LOS ANGELES My old swashbuckling friend Art La Vove and I drove down to Long Beach, the other morning to catch the Queen Mary for lunch. La Vove is involved now in the fortunes of the ship and had invited me for what he calls a cruise.

I had been aboard the queen on her last miles around the outer harbor to her permanent berth in view of downtown Long Beach. She had been a wreck then, and I doubted she could ever be made to look respectable again. There was. a bright fog as we took an escalator to the boarding deck. "First class passengers," said a British voice over a loudspeaker, "Attention! Please have your tickets ready We stepped from the escalator into a blast of "Rule Britannia!" I couldn't help humming and groping for the words "Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves! HMM HMM Britons never, never, never will be slaves!" "Not as long," said La Vove, "as the empire holds together." "And the wogs don't rise up." with the ace.

The latter paused to assess the situation before continuing. It ap-. peered from his oppoment's plays that the latter held a long club suit. West had fol-, lowed suit to clubs with the deuce and then the four which shows an odd number of cards. If he has three, which appears probable, then, South is marked with a card suit and another club -lead by declarer will estab-- lish three more tricks in the -suit for him.

East realized that time wait of the essence for the defence DEAR DR. MILLER: Henny Penny, my daughter's little bantam chicken, worked very hard and has just hatched a goose egg. Can she successfully take care of this baby? She is trying hard. DEAR J.S.: Henny Penny has the parental instinct, certainly. a i usually do.

She has everything it takes but size. It becomes a bit difficult for a small banty hen to brood a gosling bigger than she is, but odds are she can generate sufficient heat to brood this rapidly growing youngster. It's up to you to provide a plentiful supply of good grass and miscellaneous nutriments. DEAR DR. MILLER: I know it's a common problem these days but it is beginning to bother me with Herby.

He's got so much scraggly hair hanging down now you can't even tell what he is. Not only sex, but some strangers don't even know he is a dog. I'd like to trim him up for the summer so he would be more comfortable and, hopefully, neater. The trouble is I don't know what kind of a trim to give him because he is a mixed breed. How do you know what to do? R.K.

DEAR R.K.: Hcrby's hair styling had better be done by an expert who can determine not only how to make him look like a dog but the amount of coat appropriate for his projected summertime activities. A READER'S WARNING Please warn everybody again about those terrible grass sticker, foxtails you call them, that cause our dear pets so much misery. My dog used to forever get them stuck between his toes. Now Flouncy, my poor cat, came up with it. She had been gagging around and not eating for a couple of days.

I took her in and the doctor found one of those terrible stickers was puncturing her tonsil. Poor dear, what a miserable thing that must have been! She is fine again now but that terrible thing could have killed her if it hadn't been taken care of. P.R.

Although the latter held only -1 high cards points, we are inclined to favor his jump rcbid of two no trump even though he is technically two points shy of the requirements. The good six-card suite provides adequate compensation and his holding in the major suits suggests the desirability of having his hand led up to.

North had more than enough to carry on to three no trump. West opened the three of spades. North played the four, East put up the nine and declarer won the trick with the queen. A small diamond was led to the queen. A club was returned and South covered East's eight with the jack, which held the trick as West played the deuce.

Declarer continued with the king of clubs and East was in for transfusions. It might be used under special circumstances, but these would be very rare cases. Reason for not using polycythemic blood is very simple: the cause of the disease is not known in some cases.

There MAY be bad effects, occasionally, from such day things as having a tooth pulled, having a vaccination, or other such things. So my continuing view is this: Even though a procedure is not a risky one or likely to have harmful effects, don't do it for trivial reasons. Have a good reason before doing it.

So I guess that answers one of your questions. While amniocentesis will reveal the sex of the baby, 1 don't think it should be done just out of curiosity. You can't change the sex! The test is primarily useful for determining if there is need to terminate a pregnancy because of probability of the baby being born with abnormalities, inherited or from infection such as rubella. Best results are usually obtained around the 14th week of pregnancy. That cuts it rather fine, timewise, as to the optimum time to terminate a pregnancy, but it is often necessary, because cell change may not be apparent before the 10th week.

And may not be clear after the 15th week. The test should be done when there is a family history of mental deficiencies or "inborn errors of metabolism," the aim being, of course, to avoid bringing defective children into the world. DEAR DOCTOR: I have polycythemia. I have given gallons of blood to Die Red Cross until I found out I have polycythemia. Now they will not take my blood.

I have to go to a hospital and they charge $10 to take my blood and say it can't be used. I have had doctors tell me they are wrong, that they do use the blood. Do you know of any place that could use it? -MRS. W. H.

To my knowledce. blood from patients with polycythemia is not used DEAR DOCTOR: I recently read how doctors are now able to determine the sex of an unborn baby by putting a needle into the womb and tapping the fluid. Would you recommend this for curious parents? Do doctors object Jo this? Is it harmful for cither mother or baby? How far along should pregnancy be for this test? MRS. T. J.

The procedure you read about is called amniocentesis, and if you think back, you may recall it has been discussed several times in this column although not primarily for the purpose, you mention. The amniotic fluid (the fluid in which tlw fetus rests) is examined for the type of cells it contains, particularly for chromosome patterns which can indicate possible abnormalities. Ordinarily the procedure is not harmful for mother or baby, but ss with any procedure, it. is not always East was in with the quoca A and he cashed the ten of hearts to score the ccttinK DivcrUculosis is a bulge in the digestive track.
