And Ed has the feeling Hi at he's get-ling outdeked. "When it's my turn to buy," he says, "we go to the Calgary Inn, or the Palliser or a spot like that. When it's Finney's turn to buy, he just flags down a Urisdale catering truck."

He left $201) for a get-together of his pals at the Toronto Press Club When the Daylight Saving Time plebiscite was passed, it probably was a few days before the Calgary Stampede officials realized that this would mean some changes in the evening format. Because of the extra (and most welcome) hour of daylight, the chuckwa-gon races will start at 8 o'clock instead of 7:1.1. This is because the grandstand show, most effective theatrically in the dark, has to be set back. The 8 o'clock start for the races probably will be welcomed by most.

A 7:15 start meant quite a rush for those who didn't get off work until 5, then had to scramble home to pick up the family. year the annual Police exhibition moves to the Market Mall April 3-8. Among the exhibits will be pictures of former chiefs of police here.

The place is sold out each bingo night; and the prizes are as majestic as any in town. Hotelman Sammy Wong came to work by a rather strange route the other morning.

Whether Calgary Transit manager R. H.

Wray personally taught them all how to drive hasn't been determined Itodeo prize money at this year's Stampede will be increased by 10,2 per cent over last year. Not surprisingly, because of the gate receipt formula that the Stampede has with the Canadian Rodeo Cowboys' Association, there was a 10.2 per cent increase in afternoon grandstand ticket sales last year. About half of the increase (almost $10,000 in all) will go the chuck-wagons. The boost is believed to be the largest in rodeo history. And still on rodeo Jack Duce, Lawrence Void and Greg Butterfield, all from familiar rodeo families in these parts, are attending the University of Wyoming on rodeo scholarships.

Back in he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Cavalry which gives you an idea of how well the nation was prepared for war at that time. Allen's interest in the magnificent Arabians began at that time because the cavalry was using Arabians in the remount breeding program in order to increase the speed and stamina of the horses. In 1943, Allen was at the cavalry officers' FLYING CENTENARIAN.

Mrs. Etta of Aylesford, N.S., received a novel present from her grandson when she celebrated her 100th birthday last week. She took her first airplane ride in a small private plane piloted by her grandson, Willard Bishop of Kent-ville. (CP Wirephoto) Governor General Roland Michener presented the Yukon Territory Legislative Council with its first mace Monday, in Whitehorse. The mace is the symbol of the authority of the Speaker of the Legislature and the Yukon council had been the only territorial or provincial legislative body without one.

A Winnipeg man was awarded nearly $60,000 damages in Winnipeg Monday as a result of an accident in October 19C9. Mr. Justice John Solomon, in Court of Queen's Bench, awarded $59,243.66 damages lo Gerhard Gnann, 40, and $968.30 lo Moore's Taxi for damages to one of its tax-icabs involved in the accident. Court was told Mr. Gnann was walking behind the taxi in which he had been a passenger when he was hit by a vehicle driven by Lawrence Daniel Wright.

Mr. Wright also collided with the taxicab which was stopped and had all its lights on. Gerry Beck of Edmonton, a former vice-president and one of the founders of the Western Canada party, has had his party membership suspended in Edmonton. Alf Gale, the party's Alberta region vice-president, said Monday Mr. Beck was suspended for advocating Western Canada separatism.

But, Mr. Beck said in an interview he thinks he was suspended by the party's national council because he protested, at a public meeting, unauthorized changes in party policy. The appointment of Charles P. Whitlock as dean of Harvard College was announced by Derek C. Bok, president of Harvard University in New York.

Whitlock, who had been serving as acting dean, is a lecturer on social psychology who for more than 20 years has taught a series of Harvard courses dealing with inter-personal relations. The 52-year-old educator will continue as chairman of the administrative board of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges.

Peters, who has remained at Taliesen West, was in New York today and he agreed "we are not planning divorce." The Russian Chess Federation indicated at Moscow Saturday it would agree to two sites for the world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer of the United States and the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky.

The Soviet federation said it is ready, in principle, to discuss conducting the first half of the match in Belgrade and the second half in Reykjavik. The Russians had said Spassky. the defending champion, had objected to playing all the games in a European city with a hot climate in summer. Spassky had picked Reykjavik as his first choice. Fischer had selected Belgrade because it had made the top money offer of $152,000 to play host for the match.

Robert Seaver. Rodak, a graduate of Georgetown University law school, now holds a post that goes back to the year 1790. Arthur Cancade of Brandon, who was flown to Seattle from Winnipeg Feb. 25 for a bone marrow transplant, is improving slightly in hospital, his twin brother said Monday. Raymond Cancade, 18, who was flown to Seattle with his brother and parents, donated bone marrow from his pelvis bone for his brother's leukemia operation.

From her home in Paradise Valley, Svetlana Alii-luyeva, Stalin's daughter, said in New York she wanted to put to rest reports that she and her husband William Weslev Peters, the architect, were to be divorced. "We are definitely planning divorce," she said. "We are not in a hostile attitude towards each other and all we both want is to be left in peace." Mrs. Peters was still in the she took when she moved away from the Frank Lloyd Wright foundation's On Monday, the happy parents were celebrating their anniversary. It was a touching moment until (surprise) Buttons disrupted everything.

Buttons' nuisance value is limitless. In that respect he (or it) resembles the show itself. Mother and the kids understand Buttons but father doesn't. That's the plot father's callous refusal to love and understand Buttons. Dad talks to the beast constantly but it doesn't do any good.

The show's only redeeming feature is that Buttons doesn't talk back. Good grief. THE MOVIE: Here we are again, I guess, explaining how there are mov-ies-on-tv and also movies-for-tv. Most, but not all of the time, movies-for-tv are to be found on CFAC at 6:30 Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and on CFCN at 5:30 Sundays and now also at 7 p.m. Mondays.

What's confusing (to me, anyway) is that they often slip theatrical movies into slots supposedly reserved for tv movies so that you aren't always sure exactly what you're watching. CFCN is at least leading off its new Monday night series with for-real along the way the comedy (and, really, the point of it all) got lost. That's the trouble with "comedy-dramas." One tends to offset the other until neither the comedy nor the drama is all it might be. Like so many 90-minute shows, this one could have been wrapped up in 60 minutes. The script started going in circles until it got so nobody cared any more.

They never did sort it out and it ended with a dull thud. The show was mildly "adult" by tv standards. An import, it's maybe a late-evening item in the U.S. It's hard to rate shows such as these as a scries. They're anthologies, with a different show and different cast each week.

The placement is okay. Running opposite Simon Locke, David Frost and the Partridges, the movie offers an alternate choice. HIGHLIGHTS TONIGHT: Cade's County moves to 6:30 p.m., Eddie's Father to 7:30 p.m. on CFCN Marcus Welby probes the problem of cystic fibrosis Jack Klugman and Tony Randall are featured with Carol Burnett Tuesday Night examines foreign business takeovers. movies-for-tv.

The premiere, entitled Suddenly Single, was billed as a comedy-drama. The cast proclaimed that it indeed was a tv film. Practically everybody in it came to it with predominantly television credits. Hal Holbrook (formerly the Senator on The Bold Ones) was a druggist approaching 40 who abruptly got divorced. The rest of the show had to do with his problems in trying to adjust to a new life style.

Harvey Korman (the Carol Burnett show iplayed a swinging salesman trying to introduce his newly unwed buddy to the swinging, with-it sccne.The routine wasn't particularly original and Korman looked miscast. Barbara Rush turned up as another divorcee and Margot Kidder (Nichols) portrayed a sexy young playgirl. Michael Constantine (Room 222) had a walk-through role as Margot's father. For no apparent reason, Ag-ness Moorehead (Bewitched) also was in the cast. But they didn't give her anything to do.

Holbrook managed to get mixed up romantically with both old Barbara and young Margot and somewhere CFCN launched its "new season" Monday with a shuffled schedule that saw Me and The Chimp move to 6:30 p.m., followed by a movie-for-tv from 7 till 8:30. Other new season entries Monday ivcre Family Affair rerunning at 4 p.m. and the Lucy Show rerunning at 5. We'll pick up those two later. Me And The Chimp appears to be an inauspicious start for the revised menu but perhaps this one does have a certain negative value.

After Me and The Chimp, there's nowhere for the rest of the week's schedule to go except up. Missing from CFCN's new Monday night list are Alberta Talent Showcase, which moves to Sunday afternoon; Outdoors Unlimited, which has been cancelled; and Medical Centre, which moves to Thursday night. Formerly shown at 7 p.m. Thursdays Me and The Chimp was born dctd. A mid-season entry in the U.S., it isn't expected to see a second season next fall.

Featured in this ridiculous farce are Ted Bessell as a dentist and family man, Anita Gillette as his wife, two insufferable kids and Buttons, a chimpanzee.

Art Buchwald bridae on 3 i A M-w toward China. You say you have had no trouble up until this week?" "Right," I replied.

"We watched his arrival at Andrews Air Force Base loud and clear in living color." "Maybe it's in the tube," Mr. Cury said. "What would a tv tube have to do with it?" I asked. "Well, what happens is that when these tubes arc installed they emit a very strong Nixon signal; but as time goes on the filament wears thin, the tube gets weaker and weaker. On some of the older sets people can't get Nixon at all.

But this is a fairly new one, and you should be able to receive an image of Nixon even if it's only a shadow of himself." Mr. Cury checked the tube and shook his head. "It's not there. Maybe there is something wrong with your horizontal adjuster. On some sets when Nixon starts fading from the screen the trouble can be found with the horizontal dial.

Tell me. The last time you saw Nixon was he standing up or lying down?" "I think he was standing up," I said. "Then maybe it's the vertical dial." Mr. Cury worked for three hours on the back of the set while we all waited nervously for him to fix it. Finally, he turned it on again.

We got Dick Cavett, Johnny Carson, Perry Mason and an old Wallace Beery movie. But still no Nixon. Mr. Cury shook his head. "There's nothing I can do.

You're going to have to throw away the tv." "But it's only a year old," I protested. "It's not my fault you got a lemon," he said. "It's obvious there is a weak Nixon fuse somewhere, but I can't find it." "What will you give me on a trade-in?" I asked. "Are you crazy?" he said, "for a set that can't even get Nixon in the daytime, 1 wouldn't give you a dime." "Maybe the cleaning woman did some i wrong," my wife suggested. "I told her not to touch it." Fuming, I called up my tv repairman, George Cury, and asked him to come over right away.

He asked if it could wait until the next day. "Not on your life," I said. "I haven't missed Nixon on television in three years, and I'm not about to start tonight." George came over with his tool kit. "I can't understand it," I said. "Nixon has been coming in loud and clear on prime time every evening.

But tonight all I can get is a movie, Dean Martin and a Lucy rerun." Mr. Cury said, "Let me try." He flipped the dial back and forth. "You're right. There's something definitely wrong. Maybe it's in the aerial." Mr.

Cury climbed up on the roof and came back down. "The aerial seems to be all right. It's pointing WASHINGTON -It was two days after President Nixon's return from China and the family went into the living room after dinner to watch television. My wife turned on the set and said. "Tia't's funny.

There seems to be something wrong with the tv. I can't go'. Nixon on the tube." "Try another channel," I suggested. She switched to another channel and got a private-eye program. "He's not on this channel either." I rose from my chair and started fiddling with the dials myself.

I tried all the channels no Nixon. "Who has been messing around with this set?" 1 shouted. The kids were very defensive. "We didn't touch it," my son said. My daughters also denied having done anytliing with it.

"Dammit," I said, "we could turn on this set any time day or night on any channel and get a picture of Nixon. Now we can't even get him on educational tv." DEAR DR. MILLER: Once in a while, my dog will chew on my bar of deodorant soap. It's done nothing bad to him yet except make him throw up. But with all the goings-on about hexachlorophene now, I wonder.

Could it really hurt him? N.A. DEAR Hexachlorophene can be toxic not only from the long term standpoint but may also cause acute poisoning, with convulsions and death, from a single large dose. Just how much deodorant soap would have to be consumed to initiate convulsions would depend on the size of the dog. Obviously, the logical approach is to give your dog something else to chew on. DEAR DR.

MILLER: This horse is supposed to have navel disease and I can't even find his navel, let alone tell if there's anything wrong with it. All I know about him is that he limps in a front foot. What I can't understand is why navel di a causes lameness anyway. Please explain. C.

Q. DEAR C.Q-: You're right. Navel disease in a horse (adult) would be rare, and a horse "lamed" because of a bad "bellv button" would be rarer still. NAVICULAR disease, however, could be responsible (and often is) for such lameness. The small na-v i 1 a bone and related structures in the front fool become inflamed and cause considerable trouble.

Special shoeing of the foot may relieve symptoms. Unfortunately, however, the disease often leads to permanent lameness. DEAR DR. MILLER: Soon we will be adding a baby to our family of one 21- year-old cat. While our parents believe dogs and babies mix.

they definitely feel cats and babies do NOT mix. Obviously, our Muffin has priority but we would like to keep the baby, too. Plus the grandparents' good will. Any suggestions? S. D.

DEAR S. A new baby will definitely become competition for Muffin and you do have to be careful to avoid jealousy. If Muffin receives more attention during the time the baby is also on hand, it will be harder for her to resent th neew arrival. In any event, it's prudent and will help relieve grandparents' fears if Muffin is not allowed around the babv's face or A ninth trick mieht readily develop from ruffing a club in dummy or else finding a club honor in the East hand. At trick two the ace of clubs was cashed followed by a small club.

Unfortunately for declarer, the suit responded in a most unfavorable manner. South played the ten of clubs and West "was in with the jack. The latter returned a third round on which dummy discarded the six of diamonds and East ruffed with the eight of spades. The ace of hearts put West in to play the king of clubs and he was permitted (o bold the trick as North and East took discards. West exited with a diamond to the ace and South proceeded to draw two rounds of I rump.

At the other table, the Italians bid up to four spades and once again the queen of diamonds a the opening lead. Waller Avarelli, whose career dates back to the original Italian lineup that defeated my team in the 1957 Title Match, won the trick with dummy's king. Plaving for 10 tricks, he decided to develop dummy's hearts.

It certainly can't be fun to go on having the sneezes to the extent she does. have cither switched to pillows stuffed with something else, or used an airtight "allergy-proof" Cover over the pillow. Cuts, dogs or birds in the house may be a cause. Sonic folks are allergic to wool, others to dust, still others to various kinds of fabrics. Since so many things can be responsible, it takes a physician with experience (an allergist, in other words) to help track down the likeliest possibilities.

Some people, for example, are allergic to certain foods the scent of a lemon or a dash of pepper or even foods without a very strong scent can bring on allergic attacks of different kinds. I would assume that in the past, instead of starting a real search for whatever bothers her. your daughter has relied on what can be done for her in a single visit. to an allergist, and have him conduct some tests and study her case. If she can stick with the same physician for some length of time, she'll have a chance of finding out what is bothering her.

If she scoots from one to another, then nobody will have enough time to investigate the case thoroughly. Of course, the way she has moved from state to state, maybe she couldn't help some of this switching from doctor to doctor. Since the trouble persists from Dakota to Florida, we can assume it isn't something in a local climate, but rather some common substance that makes her sneeze. If it happens mostly when she's in bed, a good starting place is to do some simple experimenting lo see whether feathers in her pillow bother her. Some people have found this to be so, and they DEAR DOCTOR: My daughter has gone to many doctors and they just give her medicine to relieve her sneezing.

W. M. Even at this distance I can make a pretty shrewd guess as to what is nuking her sneeze. She's allergic to something. Allergic lo what? Ah.
