Totie Fields Garments Not Traditional Until the Mother Superior discovered the creations her community of nuns was manu- facturing were not traditional undergarments, the best string bikinis in the world could be found at Benavente Convent on the resort island of Majorca. In an attempt to: raise money for the convent, the Mother Superior had signed a - contract with a local clothing firm to produce a pre- determined number of “gar- ments” each week. Due to the product's excel- lent quality and successful advertising campaign—that the bikini was small enough to be carried in a change purse—the firm’ was doing a thriving business and the nuns were raking in the pesctas, i ‘The whole operation came to a screcching halt when the nuns discovered to their utter amazement that the garments-+ they were turning out were? turning up on. the public beaches and not under other clothing. : “We were shocked when we learned girls are wearing _them and -nothing else in public,” explained the Mother ‘We won't be tricked Cutting the strings that bound them to the bikini con- tract, the nuns of Majorca are, now making children’s clothing.

Canadian Cellulose ~~ Can a famous comedienne get laughs with a routine about having her leg amputated ahd spending seven: months in a hospital bed? Yes, if she's Totie Fields of Beverly Hills, Calif. The 47-year-old performer met the press recently in her first public appearance since a circulatory problem compli- cated by phlebitis forced re- ‘ moval of her left leg last spring. “Honey, if you're not funny with two legs, you're not going to be funny with one,” Miss Fields sald when asked whether the amputation will affect her act. “I have the same tongue and brain. I haven't lost my sense of humer.” And she proceeded to ‘prove .it: “The minute I put the rings back on, I knew I was well,” she said, flashing a handful of diamonds, “I don't care if I lost a leg, I've got my fingers.” Miss Fields revealed that she.had once tipped the scales at 191 pounds but said she now weighs 117, “T've never said this be- fore, no one in the world knew how much I weighed, not even Georgie (her husband, George Johnston). This is the first time in my life I weigh less than my husband.” A-few of Miss Fields’ friends—comedian Jan Murray and performers Florence Hen- derson and Bert Convy—sur- prised the comedienne with a huge cake and a few kisses. Entertainment - Pages News and Ads Deadline 5 p.m. Mondays When Mr, Murray got long-winded in welcoming her back to show business, Miss Fields interrupted him, saying: “We're not here to hear about your career.” She said letters from her fans—“we stopped counting at half a'million"—kept her spirits up during the long months she spent on her back. “The greatest letter came from. a man who said? ‘Dear Miss Fields; I'm sorry about your losing your leg, but I've been married to an amputee for a lot of years. She rides a bicycle, she roller skates, she bowls, and don't think you won't ever run again. She just ran away with my best friend. " Miss Fields said she will soon start learning to walk on , an’ artificial leg—first with crutches, then with a cane, “and then, onstage.” She plans toreturn to the nightclub stage next April in Las Vegas.

William Kimber, London, (In Canada: Clarke, Irwin & Company Limited, Toronto. $15.95) 254 pp. Book Review By Percy Maddux In the days of the First Elizabeth a man of fortune might commission the building of a ship, and this is what Sir Walter Raleigh did in 1586. R. Chapman was to build for him at Deptford an 800-ton vessel to be called the Ark—in fact, the Ark Raleigh, but as the queen needed ships for defence a- gainst the coming Spanish Armada, she bought it from him for 5,000 pounds and it was launched on Juné 12, 1587, as the Ark Royal. It served as flagship, but when James I came to the throne he had ‘it rebuilt as the Anne Royal to honor his wife Anne of Den- mark. It sank in the Medway in 636, ” With the coming of aircraft in the 20th century, an aircraft carrier. was. built \inj1914 andi named the Ark Royal. This was the first of three such vessels to bear this name. The story of all of them is told in Michael Apps’ book “The Four Ark Royals.” This book contains photo- graphs, maps and stories of two world wars, providing consider- able historical information, Pool Shark $2 Million in A Belleville, Ont., native who once studied to be a minister now lives in a pent- house apartment in New York and pays the rent with pool-hall hustling. “Lam the greatest hustler ever to stroke a ball," says 29-year-old Bruce Christopher.

The author has the annoying habit of dropping the article before the name of a ship, thus violating established English idiom, but he is not guilty of consistently using bad English.
