KENMORE residents were loday shocked to learn Hiaf fhe Jindalee Jabber has struck again. Eighty seven year old Mrs. Madelan Scrudge was disturbed in her slumbers by what she described as a "noise".
Mrs. Scrudge, wife of E. P. Scrudge, Eremitus Professor of Piont Pathology at the University (St. Lucia), told neighbours that she awoke to find a man in her garden.
The man, who had Wild Nastursiums dribbling from his
. mouth, lunged at her Snap Dragon. She attempted to screom but he put a hand over her Magnolia. Mrs. Scrudge told neighbours this was the last thing she could remember, "it was terrible", she said. She awoke to find a policewoman kneeling over her.
Police are looking for a prowler described as "dark and shadowy". They have appealed
for the prowler answering this description to come forward as they feel he moy be able to assist them in their enquiries.
However, the Chief of C.I.B., Inspector Nudge, admitted today thot they held out little hope of the prowler coming forward as recent developments in the cose had led them to believe that he had hung himself on a clothesline as he fled.

KENNEDY LIVES NEW DEVELOPMENT
From HANDLE RANDLESON in Ae»c York
Foggs Pass, Wyoming, U.P.U. More ond more Americans are asking the question : — could this weok - kneed, stoop-shouldered, non - deodorized, socially under-mo-tivoted, T.V. i m a g e -f l u n k i n g , unpatriotic, Cuban-loving psychopath called Lee Harvey Oswald really single - handedly h a v e killed patriotic, positive thinking, achievement-orientated, decision-moking, wowingly morried, gracious living. Bedside Fleming, back-braced but hot flushingly handsome, high heel daughtered, confidence i n d u c i n g , ethnic, ossimilotion symbol ond war hero, John F. Kennedy.
For more and more Americans the answer is a resounding, bar - thumping, bourbon - laden, norm -affirming "No".
Well, then who did? The answer more and more Americans are giving is matronly confided, telephone torturing, super-marketed "No one". How could a patriotic, positive thinking, achiev e m e n t -orientated, decision making, wowingly married, gracious
living, Bedside Fleming, back braced but hot flush-ingly handsome, high heel daughtered, confidence inducing, ethnic assimilation symbol and war hero die ? .No! Kennedy lives!
This is the startling new theory that is sweeping the nation. The theory is the brain child of Sheriff Shortarst of Fagg's Pass. I travelled 800 miles this week to interview Sheriff Shortarst as he sat idly chewing the salt-tanged, centuries old hitching post that stands proudly in front of the charred ruins of his dust laden, oak beamed, office. The sweet smell of corn-grits rose in the background.
After sizing me up for half an hour, he drawled, "Greenhorn, you must be one of those varmints from Pinkertons come nosing around these parts," When I explained I was a reporter from a big Eastern paper, he drawled, "Them ornery critters! They think they've heard all the theories. Well you can just mosey on back and tell'em I've got the grand-daddy of em all."
He paused and squinted shrewdly at the little heap
The People's Revolution .
of dust he had so lovingly scuffed at his feet, and drawled "Kennedy never died".
He refused to elaborate, explaining that he was keeping all the evidence in his head "for safe-keeping."
Other Americans are not so slow to elaborate. One of the most popular theories is that the man shot in Dallas was really an Irish-Brazilian stooge and childhood sweetheart of Jackie's. According to the theory, the assassination was all a blind to cover Kennedy's entry into China where he is posing as the New Mao and will ultimately drive the Red Terror and Yellow Hordes into a f r e n z i e d , but exhausted, House divided amongst Itself, impotent in the jaws of American might for another twenty years.
In support of this theory more and more financially hamstrung, administratively befuddled, intellectually cut-
. . . or Ydfowstone Pork?
off, student beaeigcd, College Professors are asking "Who else could so inspire the youth of China?"
There are other theories. More and more ideal istically unyield i n g, bourgeoisie-rejecting, materialistically untainted, security-sleuthed, American students are shouting "Yes, Kennedy lives. But as a cowpoke on the L.B.J, ranch. It is all a C.I.A. - inspired conspiracy to keep 'Good Guy, Kennedy' off the air waves".
Others, more tourist • minded souls, plump for

MILK SUPPLY DROPS OFF
THE PRICE of milk will rise on Monday. With icy cold conditions spreading through the dairying districts more and more farmers are complaining of "teat-seizure" amongst their herds.
Sunday Thing spoke to prominent dairyman, Mr. Max Titus, at the Grab-all Dairy Farmers Co-op. Hall on Wednesday. He told our reporter that the cold weother was causing not only "teot-seirgre" but also chrsnic "udder freexing-up", which often reached dangerous levels.
Mr. Titus said that be- rural ladies are dls-cause of this "Freeze up" some cows had been known to lose their udders when bumped. Fortunately, this problem has so far been conrined to cows in the habit of hurdling fences.
It now seems apparent that the milk shortage will continue for some time. Short of waiting for spring there seems little hope of overcoming the crisis unless new methods of wooing the
are covered.
Readers will reinember that when the milk shortage first became apparent, Marrackville rushed onto the market with a big New Super-Dooper Milk Substitute but the Govern, ment rushed through a Bill forcing them to label it "VEGETABLE SLUSH — FOR PIGS AND SKUNKS ONLY."

When asked what he thought of this practice, prominent veterinarian Dr. Strokem, said, "Ignorant cookies. But you can't expect anything better than 'horse and buggy' techniques from Australian farmers." Instead, Dr. Strokem recommended a combination of jack-hammei's and depth charges for which he was local agent.
However, university research scientist, Dr. Stn-kem, is working on a suggestion that all herds be fitted with centrally heated G-cup bras. Dr. Stokem is at preset! seeking ways to incorporate two important new design features — durability and the two-way stretch.
The bras must be dur-

"PHE Beetles have done absolutely nothing this week. An interesting sidelight to the
wliole deal is lhat 1 got a phone call this week from a guy, who is a second cousin of the fellas' press-agent. Tony Barrow. He told me that there is a definite possibility that the fellas will be laying down a new single some time in the nexl twelve months, so you got that straight from the horses mouth. Oaby. Nothing definite on the track yet. but George is reported to have said, "What can be said is that our latest moustache will be like nothing that's gone before. It'll be called 'The Bearded Clam Forever.'" Well, I'll stick my neck out and give you a run down on what I see as happening in liie studio Paul will conduct an orchestra of 102 sparrows and 1 lark — the lark harmonising the "Thomas Beecham taught me all 1 know" bit. A very hip backing should be provided by George snoring on a bed of nails, while John brushes Ringo's teeth backwards with the whole deal punctuated by a Pre-Icelandic silence double-tracked with some weird electronics giving a very "Old Grey Marish" effect. Rush out and order It NOW I
P ITY die cover of the hirst Stone's single i(i(jn'l l>e releaned «n Aitslratia. Show» Ulirli
and tlie fciivi, dre»»ed at "ladies of pleasure''\ ivUopping ii up in tite Court of Lotti* tlte 14th. The A tide it xure lo scream up llie clinrls. The Itactiing i» very inlereniing. eonnisliiii; of une guitar and Cltartie il'atl* liummering tlie floor tvith <t fhoe in 414 time. The Iteal reinforced hy tlie brilliant de'rice of uxing teordi all of Ihe same length (t letters). In fact the tcltole deal really rortis. The li side features a very complex arrangement of tilar, dulcimer, marimhas, rerorder, fowling pieces nnd, at one stage, a full orchestra harked hy same sulfite electronics. Tliis ts nol the wild sound we've come to e.vpect from llic Stones and I can't see il getting anywhere.
INCIDENTALLY, the Stones are definitely mak-' ing a movie. "This time." says Manager Oldham, "You could swear fhe movie was written specially to suit the Stones' talent" It will be a 1920's type silent In which each Stone plays the other and all play Harpo Mar.K,
The sensational Four Tops have done it again with a recording of their old hit, "Reach Out, And I'll Be There." However, this time as the words have been changed slightly, they are now calling it, "Standing in the Shadows of Love." Pretty groovy title, eh ! In fact these guys .ire so far ahead of everyone else you won't believe it. They always manage to preserve the cha<-ac-tcrisllc Tops sound — same lyrics, same instrumentation, same harsh p.seudo-gospol chaiuing voices. It just goes to show, you can't have too much of a good thing.
Some small-time D.J. says I've fallen for a oromo stunt with the '•Jimmy Hendrix oxperi-ente." Well, friend, just you try playing guitar with your elbow while .scratching your eurliole with your oilier arm.
I T talies tlie Who to conic tip with a stage act lhat really puts them out front. The whale
rave-up, based loosely on Shakespearean Comedy witli Dndaislic Raclidropt. goes soinelliiiig lilip, thin: during the four u\iniites thai they are on stage, five of llipir tracks arc played simultaneously over ticeiity kirked-in amplifiers, while the fellas, dressed bikinis and tiaras, race into tlie audience screaming Nursery Khymes in falsello voices. They assault as many 7,'i year olds as possible and smnsh up seats until the security guards manage to wrestle them back on stage. There, tlieir Managers liore been stiring up a storm willi sulphur honifn and laughing gas, I slioulda mentioned the wtiole rave-up is done in a haze of infra-red lights filtered ihru a deluge of lavender water. And wlien the fellas gel a little hung-up with the whole scene ttiey liurl phasfdiorus bombs inio the audience sliouling, "Lovers of tlie Theatre! Confront reality!" Drummer, Keith Moon, says, "H'c'rc going lo develop the tvliole concept further, witen tliey let its out."

ON the Monkee scene latest reports indicate that R.C.A. will be spending in the region of
100m. greenbacks promoting their next single, "I'm a Teenage, Pimple-Squeezer," another early Ringo Starr composition. Should really happen for them. Incidontally their last hit has sold 4im. so you can't say they haven't got talent. Meanwhile, the word is the fellas are taking music lessons, so they should be accompanying themselves on record within I2rl8 months. After that, they're scheduled for singing lessons so we may see them doing their own vocals In a coupla years.
N AMES IN THE NEWS: Tom Jones' latest wilt tte '''The Green Green I'asliires of
Smalts". And whatever Iiappcned to the Count Five. They don't seem to get much airplay, do ttipy??? Tick wearing a "Return to Cootan-galta" tie-piuf The Troggs to record D. II. Lawrence's "'Snakes in my Walerlrougli" and tlieir own "Gel 'em down". Princess Margaret thinks Twiggy's "a gas". John Lennon bouglit a new potato peeler. "There are no such things as drugs", lirian Epstein. Herman's Hermits to do the oldie, "Fairyfloss Today". Nancy Sinatra's new hottie, "Gimmie Same of Your Money." I'aul says the new group tlie "Sublimated Sausages" sliould go far. Biggest

An Object Lesson Athletics
OUR cameraman caught (hese dramaHc action shots at Ihe G.P.S. - University Meet at St. Lucia during the week. They illustrate just about everything that can be wrong with a baton change. The runner on the left has forgotten to shave, increas-
ing his wind resistance. The one on the right looks like he has never heard of a follow through.
And someone should tell him that if you are running you can't have both feet on the ground. (See left frame.) For
a smooth exchange the baton should be greased with yogurt. Spikes should always be worn. (You might walk around bare* foot at home, but not on an athletics field, please.)
At least they are running on the greener side of the track (???).
