...interpreting Il Duce's silence as a command, put 14 stiletto strokes into the assailant, one Anteo Zamboni, and pummeled his remains into a pulp...
Much of this immensely valuable land belongs to the Crown. But it would be neither seemly nor practicable for the Crown to build its own mills, manufacture its own pulp and paper. Wisely, the Crown has leased its rich timber limits to private companies, allowing them to draw on Canada's inexhaustible resources to supply paper of all sorts to U. S. and Canadian consumers.

Equatorial Africa. "Seven lions surrounded our camp. One actually entered the front seat of an automobile parked nearby and another almost chewed up the rear tire. A third lion managed to get at a camera, which was soon reduced to a pulp. It was a thrilling night, but all is well." The experience befell three Boy Scouts now photographing wild animals on the high equatorial plateau just east of Lake Victoria, Africa. The boys-Robert Douglas, 16, of Greensboro, N. C., David Martin, 15, of Austin, Minn., and Douglas Oliver, 15, of Atlanta, Ga., are with Mr. and Mrs. Martin...
