...marital expert, coldly suggested: "Providence will reward you"). The difference between the West African, who does not mind being black, and the South African native, who does, shows up in Drum's two editions; e.g., a pomade ad in the South African edition promises to de-kink hair, but for West African readers the same product touts its ability to preserve natural curl...
Penn State's Ed Moran should dominate the mile, since he has run 4:02.1 to lead the nation's collegians in this event. The Crimson's Jed Fitzgerald could place, however, Moran, with a 1:49.6 to his credit, and teammate Chick Kink, who has done 1:49.8, should finish...
...surprisingly seaworthy. A 67-ft. model was towed out into a full gale and showed no signs of distress, although the tug that towed it had to run for shelter. When making a sharp turn, a Dracone does not swing like a ship; its fabric forms a kink that moves from bow to stern...

Largely responsible for the aggravation was a kink in the tax agreements between the two countries.

U.S. Ambassador Livingston Merchant and Finance Minister Walter Harris signed a treaty in Ottawa lowering the 95% requirement on foreign ownership to 51%. When the treaty is ratified by Parliament and Congress, probably at their next sessions, U.S. firms in Canada will be permitted to sell up to 49% of their stock in the country where they do business and still qualify for the low 5% dividend tax rate. Canadians will then be able-and probably will be urged-to make a tenfold increase in their investment...
