mystery plus comedy superb. Til
den, magician extraordinary, and
lovely Vera had the Bering Sea

ter as well as baffling them to the

no time in presenting his wares.
One effect after the other, prov
ing that not only is the hand
quicker than the eye, But that
with the clever doings of his as
sistant the show proved to be
most entertaining as well as com
pletely mystifying.
The Tilden show does indeed
sizzle with intrigue, bubble with
excitement and explode with
laughter.
The latest rumor is that the
Bering Sea Club is making ar
rangements to have Tilden return
with a complete new show. If
such is the case, it is without
doubt that Nome will again turn
out to see this amazing young ar
tist at work!

Canadian Arctic Patrol
Ship Is First Naval Vessel
To Circle North America
HALIFAX, l/P>—The Arctic pat
rol ship Laborador of the Can
adian navy nestled into her home
berth yesterday, the first naval
vessel to circle North America.
She left Esquimault, B.C., last
month after becoming the first
vessel of any navy to conquer
the Northwest Passage.
Nobody expected the Labora
dor to make the trip when she
left here July 23 on a routine
mapping and sounding mission in
the far north. She completed the
circuit by sailing from Esquimault
through the Panama Canal.
Her skipper, Capt. C. S. Robert
son, said when he was about half
way through the passage the rest
of the way looked clear. He
asked Ottawa by radio for per
mission to keep going, and got it.

Armistice Commission
Gets No Complaints on
Indochina Violations
SAIGON, Viet Nam, (/PI—1The
Internationa] Armistice Commis
sion said Saturday it has received
no complaints that either the Viet
minh or the French are increasing
their armed forces in violation of
the Geneva agreements.
There have been no shipments
of arms either to the north or the
south since the July 21 nine-pow
er Geneva Conference ended the
Indochina War, the commission
said.
Asked whether it would con
sider United States training of
Vietnamese troops a violation of
the Geneva accords, the commis
sion replied through its Canadian
member, Ambassador Sherwood
Lett, that this was a question that
had not yet been raised.
Both U.S. Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles and British
Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony
Eden have asserted recently that
the Communist-led Vietminh in
the north are increasing armed
forces out of all proportion to that
area.
The Vietminh says Gen. J. Law
ton Collins, U.S. special ambassa
dor, has been sent to South Viet
Nam to enlarge the Vietnamese
national army in violation of the
agreements. Neither side has com
plained to the commission.
Pigeon Post Service
Now in 15th Year
Of Carrying Home Cash
LONDON, (#)—Every Friday
morning a pigeon flutters through
the window of Mrs. Kathleen
Burgman’s kitchen in suburban
Thornton Heath. She catches it
and unties from its legs her
housekeeping money.
Mrs. Burgman‘s husband, Bill,
a 50-year-old bricklayer, started
the pay by pigeon post service 15
years ago. It lets her get the week
end shopping done Friday morn
ing, instead of waiting until Bill
comes home with his pay.
The system also gives Bill’s pet
pigeons an outing. Not once has
it failed.
“The only snag,” said Mrs.
Burgman, “is rain. Then the notes
get wet and I have to dry them
out with the iron.”
