Sergeant Had A Field Day

(From A Special Correspondent)

Folks who ask Sergeant. Watkinj D. Williams, forty-four, of Towyn (Merioneth, Wales) Police Station, if he's fond of animals are asking for trouble. Listen to this:

'Phone bell rang. shrilly in the police station recently. Sergeant Williams clapped the receiver to his ear to hear the excited voice of a local farmer.

"Quick, Mr. Williams, or I'll lose my cow!"

Five minutes later Sergeant Williams, stopping only to don his helmet, was out in a field -helping to haul the cow out of a dyke half- full with mud.

He was returning to the police station when some children ran up to him. "There's trouble down the road," they said.

"Then, just as I got the cup to lips, somebody dashed in yelling. about a mad bull. It had escap- ed from a field and was charging a motorist.

"So there was nothing to it but go down and round it up. One mot- the orist, in backing' away from bull, collided with another car.

"It was a long time before we became masters of the bull.

It was a tired but nevertheless triumphant Sergeant Williams who sat down in his office last night to prepare detailed reports about an adventuresome cow, a determined swarm of bees, an un- healthy cat and, finally, a heat- maddened bull.

"My word, what a day!" Sergeant Williams said. "Mind you, I've Some bees had settled on a hedge known times when I have been just and were a danger to pedestrians a little more busy, but this has cer- and children.

like an experienced bee-keeper, had placed them safely in a hive.

TROUBLE AFTER TROUBLE.

The trouble was over, but not for Sergeant Williams.

Hardly had he resumed his office chair than a neighbour, bustling through the door, implored him to' destroy her ailing cat. And so to the lethal chamber pussy went.

"Feeling thirsty, I went home after all that," Sergeant. Williams told Reporters recently, "and asked the wife for a cup of tea.

BRIDEGROOM OF A MINUTE FALLS DEAD

New York.

As an orchestra and the organ played the Bridal March from "Lohengrin," in a fashionable New York church recently, the proud young bridegroom approached his bride to lead her down the aisle, staggered and fell dead from a heart, attack.

The bride screamed. The music stopped. Women and girls among nearly 300 fashionably-dressed guests burst into tears..

"In fact, I havenever known any- thing like it. It was like working in a menagerie."

Sir Edward is keenly interested in the future prestige of British shipping in the Pacific Ocean, and he hopes that during his stay in England until about July 23 he will be able to place a contract for two vessels of 25,000 tons each,| with a speed of 23 knots, for the Canadian-Australasian Line.

This contract will amount to about £3,000,000,
