He is an ardent conservationist. a 1 1 a 's jig brought gaiety to a visit otherwise tinged with sadness. Elizabeth recalled at lunch how, while vacationing here as a princess 20 years ago, she was informed of her father's death and her accession to the throne. civilians on a 24-hour search until she was discovered in an abandoned farmhouse Sunday night.

Nancy lonson was reported missing from her grandparents, home Saturday afternoon in Beachville, near Woodstock, 30 miles south of Rostock, Out. Her mother, Mrs. Roy lonson, said that the girl became worried that her pet chickens were not heing fed while the family visited the grandparents. Mrs. lonson said her daughter hitchiked to their home at Sebringvillc, about 10 miles away, and fed the chickens.

She later walked lo the abandoned farmhouse near Rostock. courtesy of what I think they call a burned rock. The young Yanks seemed to have it won until somebody apparently kicked a loose stone illegally. Here the CBC crew was sorely hampered by a lack of technical facilities. They didn't have color cameras, an overhead camera or instant replays.

As a result, they couldn't really show us clearly what happened in that crazy 10th end. Veteran curler and color man Don Duguid called it "the strangest thing I've ever seen." We had lo settle for that. The CBC still gets full marks on two counts. A live show is a lot better than "live-delay" or whatever they want to call it when it isn't live. And, taking the bit between their teeth, the commentators showed they could handle even something like Garmiseh-Partenkirchen.

Danny Kaye couldn't have done it better. A couple of hour-long specials, one on each network, provided at least some diversion Sunday from a schedule pockmarked with reruns. The National Geographic Society gave us a wide-ranging look at The Last Vikings in place of the rerunning Mod Squad on CFCN. The Last Vikings was a highly evocative documentary recalling nob years of Scandinavian history up to and including the present. The predominant theme was 1 lit seafaring tradition of the Norsemen.

National Geographic cameras followed whalers all the way to Die Antarctic, then returned to the Facroe Islands in the North Atlantic where some of the savage Viking heritage remains. There was some great photography along the way, particularly at sea. Most of the locations visited were far from the beaten path, reflecting an awful lot of time and patience required to put such a documentary together. That's why we gel so few National Geographic reports. They take the lime needed to cover their subject carefully and well.

The result is always a lot more interesting than the artificial creations of the standardized Iv production lines. You don't get quantity from occasional series such as this one. You do get quality. FOWL PLAY: The CBC's Sunday night documentary was offbeat in a quite different way. Dan Gibson's Nature Family was about how three young geese adopted and came to live with naturalist Dan Gibson's family.

Sunday's show was the latest in the irregularly scheduled and unrelated series of dramas and documentaries that included the spectacularly successful Chariots of The Gods. This week's entry lacked the dramatic impact and the scope of Chariots of The Gods. Where Chariots was monumental, Nature Family was quiet, cute and sort of quaint. Gibson is a nature photographer and most of his hour was devoted to wilderness scenes. In this respect, the show wasn't quite as advertised.

We were to have seen and presumably chuckled at the three tame birds' adventures in the big city. But there was next to nothing along that line. The compensating factor was simply that Gibson's wildlife photography was about as good as anything you're apt to see. The chief beef was that this special didn't pre-empt a rerun. It pre-empted and the CBC is out of its tree for letting Jalna gel pre-empted again.

If any series desperately needs all the continuity it can get, it's Jalna. SPORTS One of the many oddities of the everlasting CBC labor dispute is that the network can bring in live shows from outside the country a lot easier than it can guarantee anything inside the country. Thus there was no difficulty Saturday afternoon in bouncing the world championship curling final off a satellite for three hours from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. That Don Chevrier, Don Duguid and Doug Maxwell were able to keep telling us where they were, without getting their tongues tied up in their store teeth, was no mean achievement in itself. Garmiseh-Partenkirchen is in Germany.

If I were going there, I'd hate to have to ask for directions. But the CBC crew coped with it without fumbling. The final match between large Orest Meleschuk's Canadian rink and a young U.S. rink came to us live with no delay pattern. And it turned out to be a sports highlight of the whole year.

The Golden Broom final wound up with the most incredible finish since the last two minutes of last year's Grey Cup game. As you no doubt can read on the sports pages, Canada's Big "0" (as he's known) won yet another match, Chess wizard Bobby Fischer of the United States has informed local officials he will not play the second half of his world title match against the Soviet Union's Boris Spas-sky in Iceland, the president of the Reykjavik Chess Association said Saturday. Gudmundur G. Thorarins-son said the International Chess Federation should tackle the problem. Fischer had requested a change in financial conditions for the match and was turned down by both Reykjavik and Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

The two cities have been named as sites for the title competition half to be played in each city. In a second telegram to Iceland Friday, Fischer said that because of "unacceptable financial terms" he refused to play in Iceland at all. i had asked in a cable to the Icelandic organizers that all money left over after the cost of the match be divided between Spassky and himself.

Gary Lautens Princess Anne suffered a minor setback Sunday in her campaign lo win a place in Britain's Olympic equestrian team. The Queen's 21-y a -o 1 daughter failed to hold an early lead and finished eighth in her first competition since winning the European three-day horse trial championship last year. Her nine-year-old gelding, Doublet, went well in the final stage of the Crookham horse trials but picked up 29 time faults, wiping out the five-point lead gained Saturday by the princess. The event, a preliminary to the major Badminton three-day competition next month, was won by Haiel Booth on Mary Poppins. Princess Anne's showing at Badminton now will be vital to her chances of selection for the Olympics.

a 's President Jomo Kenyatta armed himself with shield and spear to stage an impromptu tribal dance Sunday as Queen Elizabeth made a last stop at Nairobi on her way home from an Asian tour. The president, in his late 70s. grabbed the spear from one of the tribal dancers who followed the Queen throughout her four-hour visit. The Queen later left on a Royal Air Force jet for London to complete a seven-week tour which took her to Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. Her husband, Prince Philip, DR.

CHARLES HUGGINS confers degrees Dr. Charles B. i Nova Scotia-born cancer researcher whose work earned him a Nobel Prize in 1966, was installed Saturday as the second chancellor of Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S. It was for his studies of the role of hormones in controlling prostate and breast cancer that Dr. Hoggins won the Nobel award.

The new chancellor conferred honorary degrees on three scientists for their re-searches in medicine and bio-chemistry. They were Dr. Albert L. Lehninger, professor of physiological chemistry at Johns Hopkins University and a former pupil of Dr. Huggins; Dr.

Leon O. Jacobson, dean of the division of biological sciences at the University of Chicago; and Dr. Charles P. Leblond, professor of anatomy at McGill University. A 10-year-old girl who wouldn't be separated from her pet.

chickens had an airplane, a tracking ring, numerous police and more than 100 We also had the heavy stuff the ceiling scene. Surely you remember. The couple (man and woman). They embrace. The background music grows louder.

And then, as passion rages almost uncontrolled, the camera swings up to give the audience a clear, unobstructed view of the ceiling. It was unbelievably suggestive. In fact, how those ceiling shots ever got past the movie censors. I'll never know. Nothing is more provocative than inexplicit sex.

But Hollywood has forgotten. And old-time filmmakers Capra, DeMille, etc. knew it, They wouldn't dream of releasing a movie without at least one get-out-of-your-wet-stockings before you-catch-a-chill scene. Nowadays when the heroine in a picture gets caught in a cloudburst all she has to wring out is her contact lenses. Her stockings were in the glove compartment before the movie even started.

Don't get me wrong. Sex in the movies 20 or 30 years ago wasn't just a flash of garter. What, made 39 Steps so popular? Was it Robert Donat's acting? Was it John Buchan's story? Was it Alfred Hitchcock's direction? No, it was Madeline Carroll's wet stockings. In the course of the picture, you may recall, Miss Carroll gets caught in the rain and has to remove her wet stockings. And get this! she's handcuffed to Robert Donat al the same time.

Naturally, in taking off her stockings, Miss Carol! shows her knees and even a glimpse of thigh. Now that's sex, raw and seething. TORONTO Hollywood moguls can't understand why the public is staying away from movie theatres in droves. I can tell them in a word sex. There just isn't enough of it in pic-I'U'cs any more.

Sure, they've got nudity, levvdity and crudity. They've got. The Stewardesses, The Boys In The Band and Carnal Knowledge. Bui they don't have sex. Not the real stuff.

Take a film classic like ttfl Steps which was shown on television just the other night.

GOREN will prefer the man of mean spirit. It was good politics in 1952 to run "against" Communism because, for one thing, there was a dreadful war in Asia in which American men (then, as now, always called were dying before Communist armies. The symbol of Communism that year was Josef Stalin, of whom Truman, so the story went, had once said.

"1 like old Joe." (Stalin and Truman had met at the Potsdam Conference.) The Republicans had a wonderful time with that. How did we feel, they asked us. about being governed by a party whose leader had said, "I like old Now, 20 years later, Nixon anticipates vast political milage from his recent visit to China. There is a good news picture of his being greeted there by Premier Chou En-lai and of their handshake and smile. Cbou's name, we are told, is pronounced "Joe." There can be no doubt that the least souring of the president's China policy will produce a Democratic campaign built around that picture.

The caption, of course, will be "I like old Joe." If the China policy goes well, the Republicans will use it themselves. Suddenly, we have the return of "against" politics this spring. Everybody who deserves the brand of "front-runner" is "against" busing school children, just as everybody in 1952 was "against" Communism. Just as in 1952, the press how does the press know so much about our baseness and so little about our decent impulses? assures us all that we will destroy any politician who is not an "againster." And so, as in 1952, our leaders have become our followers, cheering us down dark, dank and overgrown low roads, in return for which, they anticipate, we will elect them with enthusiasm landslide and sit down with them in the dark, fully satisfied in our craving for "againstness." "Againstness" in 1952 had its great demagogue in Joseph R. McCarthy.

This year it is represented by George Wallace. There is no point in forcing the parallel between the two: history doesn't repeat itself quite so nicely. Still Wallace, like McCarthy, has the power to make strong men degrade themselves by committing acts of public cowardice, and the ability to persuade good men that the electorate "We're going lo clean up the mess," General Eisenhower promised. i vice-presidential candidate, Richard M. Nixon, starring in the nation's first political teledrama that year, brought many to the edge of tears by announcing that he could not afford a fur coat for his wife and that she wore, instead, "a good Republican cloth coat." Well, the general did a good job on that "mess." It was so good, in fact, that we haven't had a really first-class long-run, full -scale close-to-t -b congressional hearing on dirty work at the justice department until this very moment when, suddenly, the Washington air is thick with stories about ITT's anti-trust problems and the gift to the Republican parly.

General Eisenhower, Nixon and most of the rest of the Republican faithful had a jolly time at President Truman's expense in 1952. They were i hard against Communism, and this was good politics, and also easy politics, since, as long as you made enough noise about being against Communism, you didn't have to answer questions about what, if anything, you were for. WASHINGTON One of the few compensations for a life sentence to Washington is the opportunity it affords to observe the circularity of history. After you have been here long enough or perhaps too long you begin noticing the past repeating itself. Oh, there arc character inversions and ironic role changes, of course; history doesn't really repeat itself, at least not very often; and those who study the past in order to avoid reliving its mistakes usually end up fighting the last war.

Still, patterns recur. At the moment the sense of being in a revisited past is particularly strong. There is, for one thing, suddenly a smell nut of the past, a smell evoking the memory of "the mess in Washington" against which the Eisen-Imweritcs crusaded in .1952. The famous "Mess in Washington" does anyone still remember it? was a product of the Truman administration and consisted generally in the considerable evidence that small-bore chiselcrs with pals in the justice department and White House could have things their way for the price of a fur coat. DEAR DR: MILLER: I had a very sad thing happen to me.

I was walking with my dog when he suddenly darted across the street after another dog and was struck by a car. He was thrown several feet in the air but got up after a few moments and came back to me, shivering, but wagging his tail. I was scared to death at first. But after a few minutes, when he seemed all right, I didn't worry any more, and took him home. He was quiet that night and didn't eat, but I wasn't too worried about it because he looked good.

But (hen the next morning when I got up there he was, dead in a pool of blood. I felt real terrible about it. I would have taken him in to the doctor if I had dreamed he was barilv hurl. But when a dog is walking like he was the day before, how do you know. DEAR F.Z.: Unfortunately, vou don't.

Only the doctor is qualified to tell whether or not such an injury was serious And even he may require some time to determine this. Any time a pet is struck bv a car, it certainly should be examined by the doctor as quickly as possible. To assume the pet is merely because it's able to walk, can obviously be a fatal mistake. Potentially fatal internal injuries may not be apparent by merely looking at the animal or even, perhaps, by its actions. DEAR DR.

MILLER: I've been raising earthworms quite awhile and just came across the term "worm fid-dling." What are worms doinc when they fiddle? M.N. DEAR M.N. Can't speak for the worms, only for the technique. A worm fiddler drives a stake into the ground and rubs it with wood.

The primary use of androgen is in elderly, debilitated adults whose glandular output has slowed down, so giving the androgen is a matter of replacing some of the material their glands no longer provide in needed quantity.

Facts are facts, ami honey is mostly sugar. Diabetics cannot make use of too much sugar in their systems, and folks who have diabetes and eat honey are storing up trouble for themselves, soon or late. Don't be deceived by arguments that honey isn't sugar, because it is. Never take a chance on diabetes!

manufacturers warn that liver damage can occur in individuals who are sensitive to it. While the drug is neither a narcotic nor a hallucinogen, in my opinion and you asked my opinion it has to be classed along with the other drugs in the current concept of drug abuse. It is the desire to obtain cither sensation or ability beyond the normal dimensions of human activity. And, like some of the other drugs, it remains to be decided conclusively what long-term overuse may do. Drugs of many kinds are useful in controlling disease conditions and bringing the body back to a normal, healthy state.
