National head-standing week has ended at Elsinore, California, with the inhabitants so busy that they don't know whether they're on their heads or their heels.

Day after day most of them, from the ex-Mayor downwards, are spending much time standing on their heads to obtain the right perspective of this topsy-turvy world.

Strangers motoring through the town have exclaimed. "Why, they everybody's nuts," when saw staid shoppers being assist- ed to stand on their heads by counter-handa.

It all started when an Elsinore newspaper editor, Hub Crehan, weary of reading that the world had gone topsy-turvy, suggested a National Upside-down Week to conform with the topsy-turviness.

His Slogan

"Down with the Dome! Junk the jitters with bottoms up," was the slogan with which the Mayor opened the Week, when all Elsin- ore should stand on its head and inspire the nation to do likewise.

Crying "Bottom side is better than topside," the Mayor par- formed the opening ceremony In the Town Hall by being photographed standing on his head by a cameraman in similar posture.

When people entered the cine- ma they were ordered to stand on their heads before being given tickets,

Police Chief Barker several times went on duty at a busy junction where propped upside. down against a lamp post, he directed the traffic. Gymnastic instructors were at to give lessons in head-

hand stands

"LEAD US TO IT"

We want to be led to the attack, Backed by the plaudits of all true Frenchmen, we can take Calais as soon as we have organised a new 51st. Highland Division for the job."

General Sir Ian Hamilton said this at a meeting organised by the Ministry of Informa ion at Inver-

ness,
