Died. Joseph Buell Ely, 75, white-thatched Boston lawyer and textile executive (American Woolen Co.), twice (1931-35) Democratic Governor of Massachusetts, once (1944) anti-Roosevelt candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination; of complications six months after a brain operation; in Westfield, Mass. At the 1932 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Joe Ely nominated his longtime friend Al Smith, gave reluctant support to Franklin Roosevelt only after F.D.R. became the convention's choice. Ely charged that a "pink fringe of Socialists and Communists" surrounded F.D.R., and Ely's supporters averred that his unsuccessful 1944 candidacy was designed...
...Altar. Field Marshal Harding's nonchalance failed to conceal the fact that, two weeks after Archbishop Makarios' exile, his efforts had not yet brought about sufficient orderliness to make Cyprus the reliable military base the British desire.

But the most pampered were the poodles. Ch. Wilber White Swan, a tiny (just 6 Ibs.) four-year-old poodle, patiently put up with hours of clipping, shearing, shampooing (with bluing), and. of course, the inevitable, endless bout with brush and comb. Some 70 toy poodles, including eight of Wilber's get, stole the show...
Over 1,500 fans donned woolen socks and shaggy mufflers and watched the two most recent ice hockey games at the heatless Watson Rink. They were not only cold, but also confused because the HAA has apparently decided that a loud speaker system is unnecessary at games it considers of minor interest. So penalties, pucks, points and players raced by, unannounced and often unknown...
