Still, a couple of events will go ahead no matter what the weather offers (blizzards excluded, I expect). The 13th annual High River Little Britches rodeo is set for Monday, May 24, and unless someone is lying to me, this little britches offering draws bigger crowds than any on the continent. Rodeo chairman Lee Campbell again insists that the dust problem has been licked (specially-treated shavings) and that with the help of other groups (i.e., the 4-H people), the show might become a two or three-day affair in the years ahead. And at Leth-bridge, Labatt's moves into enemy territory as it holds the first annual celebrity golf tournament Saturday through Monday at the Henderson Lake course. Earl Ingarfield and Ted Berlando are putting it all together; have come up with an impressive celebrity list.

It's not exactly a fun thing, either. There's $5,000 up for grabs. pressed. "You step off the plane there," he says, "and you're a little unnerved because you see all these young people carrying guns. But after a few days you begin to realize that this is what they have to live with and that life goes on as normally as it can considering the circumstances.

I was always proud of Israel before. After seeing it, I'm excited." If the Calgary Women's Press Club never does anything else, it can rest on its laurels for its rouser last Saturday to honor Eva Reid, who works for a newspaper whose name I can't remember at this moment. There are no nicer people in this business than Eva and the tribute to Eva was a most proper one. Members of every news outlet in the city turned out, just to prove to Eva that they like her, even if she is on the opposition. I can't recall members of the media in Calgary ever showing so much respect and affection for one of their own Eddie Awid of Alberta Giftwares has offered to bet a C-note on me in a bike race against Roy Jacques, who issued a challenge from his CHQR morning chair.

Hill is a house builder, plastics manufacturer, musician and singer. He built the family's split-level home in Roseburg, Ore. and in the front yards he's building a 42-foot sloop.

When it's finished, probably in June, the Hills plan to sell almost everything they own and sail south for the Galapagos, Tahiti, Bora Bora, the Cook Islands and Australia. "It'll be something new," says Hill. "A little romanticism. A little escapism. There are too many things to do in this world to just sit around." Hill, his wife, Mary, 36, and son Brian, 13, play seven musical instruments among them.

Kathy, 10, and Laurie, 3, are in training under their mother, a music teacher and church organist. Second game of the world chess championship quarterfinal match in Vancouver between grandmasters Bobby Fischer of the U.S. and Mark Taimanov of the Soviet Union was adjourned Tuesday night on the 45th move. Fischer, playing white, was a pawn ahead and in a position where he normally would force a win. The game will be continued today.

Taimanov chose an unusual variation of the Sicilian defence against Fischer's king pawn opening and the game began with a flurry of moves. Both queens were off the board by the 10th move, and white was a pawn down. Taimanov defended stoutly and returned a pawn to Fischer bid to reach a drawish ending. He made his 40th move with just seconds remaining on his clock each player must make the first 40 moves in V-k hours. Fischer leads the 10-game match, 1-0.

Winner will advance in the challengers' round, with the survivor to meet world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union for the title in 1972. Charlie Chaplin's daughter, Victoria, has married Jean-Baptiste Thierree, her partner in a circus clown act they put on in tents, night clubs, and in one film. The wedding in Paris was confirmed Tuesday by Thier-ree's mother here. Victoria, younger sister of actress Ger-aldine, will be 20 Thursday. Thierree is 33.

Several books about President Nixon and his wife are being written. Allen Drury, the newspaperman-turned-novelist, is writing one, with official cooperation, on "the Nixon White House." Victor Lasky, author of two books about the Bob Shiels on TV Ironside The two-part Ironside drama with drawn by CTV at the time of the Octo ber crisis in Quebec currently is run Kennedys (both critical) and one about Nixon (favorable) is also writing a Nixon book, as are columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak. The first biography of Mrs. Patricia Nixon, written with her blessing by Gloria Seeyle, a former California newspaper woman, will be published in the spring of 1972, just in time for the next presidential campaign. Justice William O.

Douglas is in Walter Reed Hospital for "adjustment of his cardiac pacemaker," the Washington hospital reports. The condition of the 72-year-old U.S. Supreme Court justice was described as excellent. The pacemaker was placed under Douglas' skin in June, 1963, to correct an abnormally slow heart rate. Sgt.

Bob Matheny said he refused to lock, up Michael Radoszynski when the 25-year-old 'unemployed cook came to his jail and surrendered "because it's too tough on the outside." For one thing, the Riverside, sergeant explained, Radoszynski couldn't surrender or go to jail unless he had done something wrong. "Suppose I hit you," the out-of-work cook asked. "That," replied the sergeant, "would only create trouble for you." Whereupon, the sergeant says, the man struck him a glancing blow on the chin. The sergeant said he wrestled the man to the floor and then took him up on his original offer. He booked Radoszynski for investigation of battery on a police officer.

Bail was set at $2,500. The sergeant said the man thanked him for "doing your duty." Albert whose memoirs, Inside The Third Reich, became a best-seller in the United States and Western Europe last year, says in a new interview he "cannot help feeling stirrings of pride" over his role in building the Nazi war machine. "This is my weakness a human weakness perhaps," the 66-year-old former Nazi leader says in a candid statement on his feelings for his achievements as Hitler's minister of armaments. The interview, totalling some 25,880 words, will be published in the June issue of "Playboy" magazine. The in-t i was conducted by Eric Norden, a senior writer for the magazine, over a 10-day period at Speer's country home near Heidelberg.

"Those were the days of my youth, and I achieved things which many people predicted were impossible, and I suppose my ego still takes pleasure in those accomplishments. "Then-1 think of all the cities destroyed, the soldiers killed, the Jews butchered between 1943 and 1945 and my pride turns into sickness. But I will not be a hypocrite and say the pride is not there." Clifford H. Ford, the foreman of the military jury which convicted Lt. William L.

Calley Jr. of mass murder at My Lai, is being transferred to Vietnam. Ford, who was the only one of the, six jurors who had not served in Vietnam, is going to be the inspector general for the U.S. army in Vietnam. He is now attending an army school in Washington to prepare for his new assignment.

Ford is scheduled to leave for his new post at Long Binh, Vietnam, on July 7. ning on Channel 4 Mondays. Subtitled Check, Mate; and Murder, the two-parter has Chief Robert T. Ironside (Raymond Burr) in Montreal tangling with separatist terrorists. Or is he? There's a twist in the plot indicating that the guilty party may be somebody else using the political situation in Quebec to cover up a killing.

The decision to withhold this story at the height of the Laporte-Cross crisis looks like a good decision in retrospect. In view of the circumstances prevailing then, the dramati- Tah'nn was tnn rinse tn the real sitnn- the police as a prime suspect in the mail box murder. By now, Ironside is very much There's even a hint of naughtiness. Robert Ironside is mighty curious about why Jeanine's son's name is Robert. There seems to be some doubt in his mind about who the father might have been.

The separatist issue is front and centre up to a point. There's a civil rights debate between Ironside and director Rousseau, and in his cell young Robert is reciting the party line: "in a revolution, there are no innocent men." Then comes the switch. The man killed in the mail box blow-up owned an invaluable old chess set. A pawn turns up as a clue and it starts Ironside to thinking that the killing may have been motivated by theft, not separatism. They'll sort all this out in Part 2 next Monday.

Wasting no time, we have a pair of punks blow up a mail box. They have to go out of their way to avoid blowing up Mark along with it.

Later, in a grubby little room occupied by the equivalent of an FLQ cell, the plotters' leader is sore because he figures Mark, or anybody else, is expendable. Ironside's party carries on and checks into a hotel. We see them in the lobby and in a room upstairs. All of this was undoubtedly shot in Hollywood, not Montreal. The chief is allegedly in Montreal for a convention of criminologists.

However, when a second mail box blows up outside the hotel, this time killing a friend of his, the chief has a murder on his hands. Police director Rousseau has an assistant (Ironside) on his hands. Novelist Ernestine inserts herself into the act. And the plot thickens with the advent of old flame Jeanine. Ironside's girl friend of 20 years ago is a very well-preserved widow.

Her son, Robert, has been rounded up by Stern. A former doctor, he gave up his practice for full-time tv writing. Most of his writing has been for doctor shows. Determining the details at this late date is difficult, but we might wonder how much, if any, of the show actually was shot in Montreal. The scene is well set with travelogue shots of Montreal, and the atmosphere seems about right.

But Ironside and his team never actually were shown Monday in a Montreal setting. "The chief" spent most of his time in a hotel room: WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT until next Monday to learn how it all comes out, but so far this hasn't necessarily been one of the best Ironside episodes. To accommodate the two-week span, there actually are three stories running concurrently. They overlap tidily enough, but bringing them all together requires a lot of sometimes improbably coincidences. The story opens with Ironside and his aides Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell), Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson) and Sgt.

Ed Brown (Don Galloway) arriving in Montreal by plane. The supporting cast features Her-mione Gingold as Ernestine, a cigar- tion. Ironside has been into reruns for jsome time now, but the current episodes aren't listed as reruns. I believe though it ran in the U.S. that this is the first time the two-part Montreal Irama has been shown Canada.

The natural tendency to hold the bird tighter to prevent its escape compounds the constrictor boa constrictor coiling around his prey.

It was soft as a lullaby, resting between the tides. I don't know how long I lay there, in the clasp of that sculptured sea throne, like Triton napping, when it occurred to me that I knew God's name.

His name was Random Chance. The idea came to me all at once, whole and final. On the way back I nodded to the man. He had a full moustache and gentle eyes behind metal-rimmed glasses. The guitar was in his lap.

"It's a nice day," he said. "Yes. It is. It really is." I didn't tell him God's name. Let him find out for himself.

When I got back to the house, though, I told my wife. "You ought to wear a hat," she said. "Out there in the sun." I suppose I ought. My hair isn't getting any thicker. No use trifling with chance.

golden sculpture garden on the sand. The tide was out and the sandstone boulders were pitted with small, perfect oval bowls, like bathroom wash basins, each with its sea anemones, lavender and palest green, and its clutch of polished colored pebbles, sparkling in the trapped sea water. Each bowl seemed exquisite and perfect beyond contriving. I wondered if I could move a single pebble without destroying such perfection, utterly upsetting the arrangement. Arrangement? That was hardly the word.

Each pool was a phenomenon beyond the art of human hand and eye. What then, I wondered, could account for such beauty? It could only be chance; nothing more. Random chance. I remembered reading only recently that some scientist had said that man and the universe were strictly the results of cosmic chance. I lay back in the arms of a great sculptured sandstone chair, a natural golden throne, my head against an thing.

I doubt it. I'm not even sure the great ideas come to us when we're looking for them. Most likely they come when we don't expect them, like hiccups and mosquitoes. It's worth trying, though. I am not drawn to any of the cults, old or new.

Group encounters I'm sure would either bore or scare me. I'd rather go on a picnic. Neither do I consider myself a likely candidate for divine inspiration. There was one car parked on the bluff so I knew there must be someone down on the pebble beach. I took the steep path down and there was a green plastic tent on the beach, up high against the cliff.

A man was sitting guru-fashion in front of the tent playing a guitar. I walked down to the surf, giving the man and the boy a wide berth, so we wouldn't break each other's soap bubbles. The pebble beach quickly runs into a massive tumble of smooth carved yellow gold sandstone boulders, a Goren on bridge I tide. I wanted to try some pure I thought.

The last time I tried it that I have any definite I record of was sometime in the early 1960s, I know it was in the early 1960s i because I told about it in a chapter of Three Coins In The Birdbath, a book that is safely out of print. Somehow, on that occasion, I had gotten loose from the ties and weights of everyday affairs and was out in the space of my own imagination, floating free. "I knew," as I recalled it in the book, "that somehow I had broken through the material wall into the infi- nite and that the answer to everything would spin into view and I could reach out and haul it in like a fly ball." Nothing came of it. I don't know whether I was really close to any- North-South have 40 part score. East-West vulnerable.

MILLER: The first time in her life that Pinkie, our pureblooded Persian cat, ever got out, she was chewed up and almost killed by a dog. She would have bled to death but the doctor gave her a transfusion and saved her life.

He used the blood of another cat that wasn't a purebred. Since then, I've been a little worried about it, and now I'm really worried because I'd like to breed Pinkie. The doctor said she was healed up enough to go ahead but now I'm afraid if I do go ahead and breed her she'll throw mongrel kittens even though she is bred to a pureblood. Is there any possible way I can prevent this? If there isn't, will other people be able to tell that the kittens aren't pureblood by looking at them? DEAR A. The portion of non-purebred blood which saved Pinkie's life could have no effect now, or any other time, on her offspring.

If bred only to a purebred Persian, she could produce only purebred Persian kittens. It is the genes and chromosomes of these passionate Persian partners which determine the offspring. In the extremely unlikely event Pinkie still has circulating blood cells donated by the "stranger" they still would not have any bearing on the genetic makeup of her kittens. DEAR DR. MILLER: My brother and I like birds and we've had two parakeets.

But my brother has bad luck with birds. Both of ours died while he was holding them. Is there a i you can tell my brother that might help save our birds? K. I. DEAR K.

If you plan to get any more parakeets, their chances for survival will be much higher if your brother simply resists the urge to hold them. Many people, when holding a bird, clasp it tightly so as to prevent its escape. This process is the same as accomplished by a SOUTH A A A 8 6 5 2 J6 K32 George C.

The ace was played, followed by the queen which was overtaken by dummy's king.

On the third and fourth spades, South discarded two clubs.

In all, South- lost one heart, two diamonds and one club to score an overtrick on the deal. West should have been sufficiently impressed by the dummy's spade holding to make a determined effort to get his partner in for a club play through South. In other words, West should have anticipated the possibility that declarer might hold the missing space strength as well as the king of clubs.

It was a cinch from East's play of the nine of diamonds on the first trick, that he held the queen of that suit. If he had the jack and not the queen, for example, he would surely have given a milder come on. Observe that if West underleads the ace of diamonds at trick two, East will put up the queen.

Why not ask your doctor whether a simple draining wouldn't be adequate for you? If you were quite a bit younger, I would suggest the permanent type of surgical correction which, by the way, is relatively minor surgery anyway.

West could have taken steps to assure a profit for his side on the deal. West opened the king of diamonds on which East sig-n a 1 vigorous encouragement by playing the nine.

Declarer cashed the ace and king of hearts and when both opponents followed, he left West's long trump the not weight that is lost, which causes the marks. DEAR DOCTOR: In 1959 I had an operation for hydrocele on both sides. Today they are larger than when the operation was done. I am 69.

Is it necessary to have another operation? If I don't, is there any chance for serious trouble or cancer? E. C. H. Hydrocele is an accumulation of fluid in one or both of the sacs containing the testicles. Whether your "operation" was merely to withdraw the excess fluid or to correct the hydrocele permanently is not clear to me in your letter.

The condition is principally a nuisance; it does not cause cancer. Withdrawing the fluid probably would be DEAR DOCTOR: I've heard some Italian people say that if a person with high blood pressure eats raw garlic, it will reduce his blood pres-' sure. Is this true? i it's not only Italians who say 1 so but the fact remains that it will not reduce blood pressure. DEAR DOCTOR: Is it possible for a i hearing aid to harm the ear if the deafness is caused by nerve damage? MRS. V.

S. I doubt it. DEAR DOCTOR: Are there more baby boys or more baby girls born each year? I say more boys. MRS. M.

You are right more boys by a percentage point or two, apparently nature's way of compensating for the fact that "the weaker sex" isn't. Girls are slightly more durable about withstanding the stresses of life, and on the average they live longer. DEAR DOCTOR: Is there any way a person can lose weight without getting stretch marks? S.B. Stretch marks don't develop from losing weight. They develop from gaining weight which is why they are called stretch marks.

The skin is stretched until certain of the underlying fibers are stretched beyond their natural elasticity. Not all skin develops stretch marks. Some skins can take the stretching without the fibres giving way. But it's the weight that is gained, Much heart trouble is preventable. Write to Dr.
