I Tne Story concerris a small industry
In .^SirScotland,-whichspecialized. i n
IheTnanufacture ofvthat great Scot-lish
national dish, Haggis.
I The,way .the':story: came to us.was
jhatan;American f i r m t r i e d to buy
pto Hiram McBagpipe Haggis Co;
I Now;.it should,be noted,hereuthat
jhe McBagplpe Haggis Co., had been
In thafcfanmy's oontrolshusethedays
\i Rabbie Bums. It was claixned
ty the f i rm that- their recipe for ^the
pasgis:: was based on the one Bums
FTote his fE?3ious Addrees to A Hag-;
pisaiJ-ut. ^ . ^.
I ItBndghtalsovbe noted that: \the
licBägpipe Haggis Co. also, prided:
pself on .the fact that their prödu^
kas made exactly the same .'»ay as it
bad always been made.
I So: •We^ can .Weil imagine l i i e reac-pon
of-Hhäm -McBagpipe when
fas approacheäby a n American firm'
h t h the idea of automating hfe'facr;

I "Wliy'V the American' feusinesm

ome out the other. Alreadypackaged
aind you." < < >- -
A proposal vras made-that a smart

I d cut. Ons of the ideas put fonrard
fas to engage a'male quartet wJJd;
f o u l d b e c a l l r f the'^ColdCnbr.Tlxey

. ' B a s e d . on American advertising
know-hDW, i t was also suggested thät
the company :could.-advertise that
"theirs was the only Haggis _that jcon-tained
Lanolin.". One of the'^8lö'gans
suggested was ."our is the only Haggis
that contains Formula O."
When Old Hiram asked. what Forr
mula: O stood for. he was told*^ Oat-meal.
"But", said Hiram. "a'Haggis
has the oatmeal i n it." . \ .
iSo the American told him."so what,
SO long as the public doesn't know
wbat It is." , ^
When Hiram still acted atubbom
and refused to ber taken i n by.what
he termed-'American knowhpo,". other
approäches were taken.
I t w a s pointed out to, h im that the
f i im could make Haggisfaurgers.;W
stands could be set up-all oyer the
'country/ he was told and the Hsiggis-btirger
could be sold with cokes;;;.-*::
"Why", said the 'boss-type, "we
could makeHaggisbigger than Pizza.':
• Our source:told us. that HiramvMc-
Bagpipe merely Ecratched h i s l i e a d at

Now there arefaomeskeptics .'who

A few daysago I had tea TvIth !the

lunched with the Panohen Lama.
I had:advance ceremonial training:
how to present a sllk scarr on my

Living 'Buddbas do not often. shake
hands, and so, on, '
'Zn facjf it was not 80 formal. After
passlng fttie : gigantic monk guards,
with thelrgreat padded shoiilders, the
atmosphere was very cordlal.
The Dalai Lama received me with
a broad smile and gripped my hand
powerfully when I presented the whlte
scarf. We sat a f the same level in
cosy armchairs,,and had English-type
tea and cakes, which the Dalai passed
round. ,
His face is shrcwd and mobile with
two deepJlimples on his cheeks when
he smiles.
HLs Holiness sat among the gorgeous
brocade•hangings and palnted cai-v-

reception room, wearlng hom-rimmed
spectaclea and chatting easlly on any
subjectthat came up.

Mr. Coles, formerchairman of a

to have filed wlth the City Clerk at

and declared Ulat he had filed his

"I hope you wlll teli the wortd
clearly what Tlbet is really Uke." he'
said; and .stressed that authors; • es-pecially
British aUthors,'had In.thle
past gtven 'a- faise«pltture' of -Tlbetf.'
As we walked, an offlelal clad in
gold silk. and/gilt hat,popped in
occasionally and took a flashlight
piclure or a few feet of fllm.
"Our economfc position Is growlng
stronger", the .Dalai Lamasaid, re-ferrlng
to his "vislts to Ohlna'8 In­dustrial
.centres. "Many things we
could not make. before we - can manur
facture now."
I^sked what he thought thls meant
for Tibet, and he answered: "We
wUl oome to lead a happy soclalist
life with the people of the whole
country."
The palai and Panchen Lama* are

that they can retum to earth to

rellgious affalrs, w'ith the Dalai Jiav-
Jng a leäding position in worldly af­falrs.
The PancKen* Lama, over slx" feet
tali, met me wlth the sime firm
grlp. He spoke exfefellent Chlnese In af
deep volce, and talked freely on any
questions. On; bls rlght wrist:was a^
slmple rosary twined over a gold wrlst j
watch,
I t was clear; from ttjeir constant
referenc^s that both the young God-rulers
had been deeplylmpressed dur-
Jng their m a n y meetlngs wlth Mao;
Tse-tung/ The Panchen spoke of the
"personal guidance" he had recelved:
from Chairman"Mao Tse-tung.
He said that what he and the Dalai
had seen in their tours of China "has
Instilled in us greater confldence that
we can build |i new Tibet,"
After chatting for an hour, *c
went to lunch, served wlth exqulsite;
gold and sllverjjutlery^ and toasted
to peace a n d friendriiip betwcen the
Tibetan and British people inr Orange
Juice, for no liquor is allowed near the
Great Lamas.
Cigarette» * c r c passed aftier lunch,
but I said I had glven up smoking.
* A h l You and I iielong' to the same
sept," said the Paiu*en. .He and the
Dalai are leaders of the Ypllow öect,
who may not marry, smoke or drink.
It is hard to belleve that these two
sedate andstudious men are so young.
Tfie Dalai is 20 and ^Oie Panchen 19.
But still i t was possible to recognlze
the two Jövlal young. men I met at a
reception In Peking last year.
After leavlng the Panchen Ilooked

Can a Wrestler Beat ä Boxer'
Slnce'hands were weapons glvcn to
the 'earli.?ct man, it- can be aesumed
that boxlng and-vrestllng are the two
i)14est sports i n cx'stence. In the
beginning both ^activltles werc com-blncd,
but later the two became
separate sports, Evervslnce tben the
questlon has been raised from tlme
to time — could a wrestler whlp a
boxer In a mbced toout? Fiercc argu-ments
have resulted, but the problem
remains unsolved.
It would seem that ali one had to
do was to match a boxer aga.nst a
wreitler, This ha<i been tried, how ;
ever, on several. occasions, wito i n -
cönclusive resuits, If the v/restler
was a slow movlng typey oppoted to .a:
fast, ha^d-hlttlng boxer,, he. was
knocked out i n the flrst rounil; ,In
casej where the'- boxer falled to land
and the wre8tler managed to get to
cloje quartcr.*», the' boxer found- hb
shoulder^ plnned to the mat.
Recently a «ports magazine aslccd
tfce questlon: " I n a free-for-aU be-tween
Rocky 'Marciano,heavyweight
box^ig chapion, and Lou Tijcsz,
wre3tling'0liampion, wfco would win?"
Among tbe cxperts questJoned were
Marciano:^nd; Tbesz; They said: :.;
