A War Crime and its Victims

CHILDREN OF THE BENARES

by Ralph Barker

PUZZLES The world’s best puzzle-compiling talent.

When the passenger liner City of Benares sailed from Liverpool on Friday, 13 September 1940 she was carrying 90 evacuee children from the bombed cities of Britain, bound under a government-sponsored scheme for a safe haven in Canada.

Her sinking by a U-boat four days later shocked and horrified the civilised world. Of 406 people on board 256 were lost - including, at a first count, 83 of the evacuee children.

Ralph Barker, after a vivid and poignant reconstruction of the disaster, turns his attention to what really happened behind the scenes of the Admiralty and the Ministry of Shipping. The result is a harrowing story of human fallibility and survival.

Q. For what purpose was ox blood used in the manufacture of wine? (read on for the answer) Most men have 10-12 pints of blood, while women have 9-10. The liquid plasma contains three cell types: red blood cells that transport oxygen via haemoglobin; white blood cells that fight off infections; and platelets that help the blood to clot after an injury.

Christopher Wren (of St Paul’s fame) was an early experimenter in blood transfusion, and Richard Lower achieved a transfusion between animals in 1666. James Blundell performed human transfusions from 1818, but they remained risky operations until Karl Landsteiner discovered blood groups in 1901. .....continued with more Halloween & kids’ features page 27

Literary Estates Patrick MacGIll

•

The “Navvy Poet” Patrick is celebrated for his portraits of a severe Victorian life in Northern Ireland and subsequently as a migrational worker in Scotland as a ‘tattie-howker’ (potato– gatherer) and general labourer.

W.H. Canaw Born in 1925 in Altrincham, Cheshire, Bill Canaway was educated at Altrincham Grammar School and the University College of North Wales, Bangor. He served in the 8th Army intelligence in North Africa and Italy during the latter part of the Second World War, before coming home to lecture at Stafford Technical College. After ten years of this, he decided to commit himself to full-time writing.

He wrote fifteen novels combining adventure with natural history and a love of the outdoors.

way Canaway was also an angler and wrote two highly regarded fishing books - A Creel of Willow (1957) and A Snowdon Stream (1958) - as well as many articles for The Fishing Gazette.

In A Creel of Willow he describes his love of the little river Withy, the encounters with the various people who fish the water and of course the fish that lurk within the river. He believed that the most fanatical angler will admit that people are almost as interesting as fish.

It is probably as a screenwriter that he is best remembered - The Ipcress File (starring a young Michael Caine in 1965) being amongst his credits, as well as TV series such as Brendon Chase and Dan, Badger and all the Coal. He died on 22nd May 1988, whilst still working on a film version of an earlier work, ‘A Declaration of Independence’.

Find The Boy was translated into a dozen languages and the film based on the book “Sammy Going South” made the Royal Command Film Performance of 1963.

Verdict on a Lost Flyer

The Story of Bill Lancaster & Chubbie Miller In 1928, Bill Lancaster and Chubbie Miller were international heroes after their sensational long-distance aeroplane flight from England to Australia. In 1932, Lancaster was on trial in Miami, accused of murdering Chubbie’s lover. Less than a year later, Bill Lancaster disappeared on a flight over the Sahara, and it was almost 29 years before his body was found beside his wrecked plane. A log book, tied to the wing, contained the moving account of the last eight days of his life.

Premiering at the BFI London Film Festival 16 & 19 October 2014.

Lancaster’s dramatic end was in keeping with his adventurous life. The account of his search for work and his desperate attempts to retrieve his fortune, how Chubbie fell in love with an American writer, Haden Clarke, while Bill was away, and how Clarke was shot dead in a Miami house on Bill’s return, all lead up to the account of one of the most turbulent murder trials of this century.

THE BUSINESS OF CARTOONING We interview cartoonist Crowden Satz (CROWTOONS) Thanks for taking the time to chat today.

C: My pleasure. A cartoonist’s is a free and easy one.

Ha! That’s the first time I’ve heard a cartoonist say that.

C: And the last. I kid, of course.

So, how long have you been a cartoonist and is it your only job?

C: Well, I’ve been doodling my whole life.

But up until recently was a university professor. For quite a few years, actually.

Mathy stuff.

Wow, that’s different. I know Ryan North has a masters in computer linguistics and Tony Piro has a PhD in astrophysics but you’re the first actual professorcartoonist I’ve met. Did professoring help your cartooning or the other way around?

C: A bit of both. I love to teach and work very hard to keep my classes lively and entertaining. Humor was a great way to accomplish that and I developed a knack for a kind of short improv, where I’d throw out comments related to what I’d been teaching/saying and would get laughs. A Groucho Marx sort of thing. The essence of a good joke is timing and keeping things unpredictable. And the essence of a good cartoon gag is a short and unexpected punchline. So that was a bit of a tie-in, I think. Anyway, I finally decided I wanted to do something completely different so I stopped the professor gig and picked up the pencil and brush.

8th Man? But that’s not your primary emphasis?

C: Yeah. A robot who got his power by sucking on energy tubes that looked remarkably like cigarettes. Must have been sponsored by the tobacco lobby. He had an awesome fight with 7th Man, as I recall.

I can imagine. And you did your own animation?

C: Ha, not unless you count flip books.

But I remember drawing Astroboy’s “hair” over and over on my little chalkboard, trying to get it perfect. Nothing else; just his hair. I soaked up the Sunday Funnies, of course. But I don’t remember getting inspired artistically by anyone until I got a little older. Then it was Kelly, Watterson, Breathed, and early Ketcham. Even later I started to groove to Searle, Thompson, and Yeagle. The Simpsons helped a lot in terms of understanding comedy.

What about the Simpsons exactly?

C:The writers are always juggling multiple story threads and I began to notice how the quick juxtapositions of different ideas produced a lot of the humor. It’s something that inspires me today when I’m writing jokes.

Tell me more.

C: Well, it’s more an overall way to approach it, I suppose. And I did create the strip Nickyitis, which has multiple panels. That allows me to work with a little more dialogue/story.

What were your early cartooning influences?

C: I was a huge fan of the early Japanese anime. Astroboy, Gigantor, Speed Racer and the much beloved but now forgotten 8th Man.

There’s not much space in a single panel cartoon to fit in a lot of dialogue and story, is there?

C: Definitely not. Single panel cartooning is an exercise in brevity. I’m a ruthless editor.

You know, all cartoonists have an opinion on this next question and I’d like to hear yours. What’s more important to a cartoon, the art or the gag?

C: Oh, no question, the writing or ‘ the gag’ as it’s known in the biz. It’s ninety percent. Just think about how many beautifully drawn cartoons you’ve seen that have weak gags that you nonetheless found hilarious because of the drawing.

Probably none. But how many times have you laughed at a cartoon even though the art looked like something a three year old drew because the joke was great? And the answer there is “probably a lot”. Some of my colleagues bristle when I suggest if they’re laboring over finely detailed art that they’re having some good fun but it’s not contributing particularly to the cartoon’s ultimate success. Producing quality art is personally rewarding, don’t get me wrong. I love it. But I also realize it simply isn’t crucial to the overall success of the joke.

C: No, I spend most of my time on my Crowtoons, single panels mainly but with some multi-panels thrown in. And mainly just one line of dialogue but, again, something more if the humor demands it.

“I’ve found a new app that replaced you. It does absolutely nothing.”

“Don’t get too excited. He’s plotting losses”

Crowden spent his early years running along the expansive plains of New Jersey and producing random doodles on logs and car bumpers.

He currently lives in California, along with his lovely wife, his fluffy white dog, and three noisy parakeets, which he’d be happy to sell you for a couple of pence.

There next followed his Blue Phase, which he spent in finding ways to avoid honest labour whilst attending Princeton and Stanford, and, having realised that the West Coast is ‘a nice place’, finally settling in for a lifetime of teaching mathy stuff at the University of California.

When he’s not cartooning he can be found doing, well, nobody really knows because he’s always cartooning.

An unexpected exposure to a New Yorker back issue precipitated a crisis of faith, with the result that he became a born-again cartoonist.

Well known for his business gag cartoons, he makes a point of continually updating his plans for world domination and bettering his skills in front of his beloved espresso machine, as well as churning out Crowtoons on the topics of Love, Death, Happiness, Betrayal and Beer. Lots of beer.

COMIC

Favourites 2014 saw comic art celebrated at a momentous British Library exhibition in London, covering the surprisingly expansive story of the cartoon from medieval manuscripts, 1970s action adventures, through to contemporary doodles embracing both subversive and mainstream interest. The exhibition dubbed ‘Comics Unmasked’ highlighted that comics are not the reserve of a youth audience. Firmly rooted in our social culture, cartoons can communicate a powerful message.

In 2015 Knight Features will celebrate 30 years of syndicating the best loved cartoons to publications throughout the world.

In 2014 and beyond our cartoons are as much at home in corporate websites as in a local gazette. One of our customers once said “That a simple 3-frame cartoon illustrated his point much more elegantly than his whole paragraph of words!”

Go Where You’ve Never Gone Before The next time you’re alone, sit back and think: Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but kept putting off for one excuse or another? Do you have a deep dream you have always wanted to live?

What would you love to do with your life if you had the time and resources?

Almost everyone has a dream that has not been lived. This could be travelling, adventure, a college degree visit the birthplace of parents, learn to play an instrument or take up painting. Or your dream might simply to spend more time with family or friends, have time for walks, or to read books.

True health is as much a matter of mind as it is a matter of body. It is about total wellness.

The author has meticulously sifted through thousands of international studies on all aspects of health and medicine, both modern and alternative, and wellness philosophies and reduced them to 181 short, crisp, factbased and helpful explanations you can incorporate in your daily routine.

Like all good things in life the secret of good health lies in concepts that are simple, practical, easy-to-follow and inexpensive; ideas that may seem small or insignificant, but are the way to a fitter, healthier and a happier life.

‘A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.’ - A Spanish Proverb.

16

A deep dream finally lived out can renew the life force in you and do more for your health, appearance and self-esteem than any other technique or cosmetic ever can. No matter who you are or where you live, there’s some place you have promised yourself you’d go... someday! Make that someday today. Being spontaneous adds to the pleasure of being alive. Go yourself, or pack your spouse and kids in the car and head out. And now may be just the time to do it!

Millions have never been to the Taj Mahal or the backwaters of Kerala. Or even visited a nearby lake, a park a museum or just the old neighbourhood where they grew up.

Whatever the place, go there and enjoy the experience - and the journey.

You may need to save money or get more information. Whatever the situation, make your dream come true - and enjoy the benefits that come with it.

Remember: until you start living your dream, you are only dreaming.

Steven Appleby is one of Britain’s most talented cartoonists. From the days when his first cartoon about the dysfunctional sci-fi cult hero Captain Star appeared in the New Musical Express, through to his weekly cartoons in The Guardian today, he has reminded and reassured his readers that it is the very normality of life that is inexplicably odd and funny.

His work has appeared in numerous other newspapers and magazines, including The Observer,Harpers & Queens, The Tatler, GQ, Junior, Punch, The Oldie, Erotic Review, The New York Times, Atlas, Primeur, ZEITmagazin, BZ, Frankfur ter Allgemeine

Zeitung, Eltern, The Times, Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph and many others.

In addition to cartoons Appleby has produced more than eighteen books, radio comedy and animated television series.

Appleby’s “Trouble” is a series of cartoons about parents and children.

The joys and predicaments of parenting have spawned a stream of funny and poignant observations from Steven Appleby’s pen – in the UK magazine Junior, the German magazine Eltern and the Bloomsbury books Alien Invasion (1998) and The ABC of Childhood (2005).

Trouble on or “Off The Branch” You wouldn’t think you could get into much trouble sitting on a branch all day. But you might be surprised. The little guy on the right is no stranger to the word – you could say it’s his middle name (but then Little ‘Trouble’ Owl sounds a bit weird).

And take Frieda, for instance – she’s the one next to him.

Looks harmless? Don’t you believe it. Frieda may be small, but she doesn’t take prisoners (well she does, but then she eats them).

Trouble can come in many shapes and sizes. Do you want a platoon of army ants marching through your front room every day? No, and neither does Little Owl, but you don’t mess with a bunch of guys with jaws bigger than their heads. Not unless you’re a woodpecker, anyway, but then who wants a flying jackhammer living next door?

OK, so when there’s trouble on The Branch, you need a go-to bird, someone who can get you out of a scrape when the feathers start to fly. That would be Cousin Jed. The problem is he is

to navigational skills what bricks are to aerodynamics.

And even if he can find The Branch, he’s not, well, the sharpest beak in the nest.

Which brings us back to our main character, Little Owl. He’s a kind of Arthur Daley of the bird world – a self-styled, go-getting, entrepreneurial wheelerdealer and anything else with hyphens in it. He deals in, er, woodland commodities, shall we say. Buying and selling, import/export, that sort of thing. Cousin Jed is his legal team, minder, agent, go-between and – lost....

So there’s trouble all around; it’s cold, it’s wet and that woodpecker’s keeping the neighbours awake again; the badgers want to know who sold them a dodgy consignment of worms, and it’s hard to find two voles to rub together.

It all adds up to a great cartoon strip by new(ish) but perfectly formed cartoonist, Ewan McLeish. It’s called Off The Branch. It’s a tale of life (and owls).

Factphile ...continued from Page 1 The four main blood groups (O, A, B and AB), together with rhesus positive or negative, indicate what antigens - antibody generators - you have. Someone in the AB+ group (meaning they have the A, B and Rhesus D antigen in their blood) can receive any blood type, whereas O- is the universal donor.

O+ (36% of people) is the commonest type, with AB- (<1%) the rarest.

Typical human blood pressure is around 120/80mmHg (millimetres of mercury), indicating the systolic and diastolic pressure as the heart pumps then relaxes. High and low blood pressure is called hypertension and hypotension respectively.

Kensington Gore, a London street name, is a punning name for theatrical blood. The ‘blood’ in the famous Psycho shower scene was actually Bosco Chocolate Syrup. In Star Trek, Spock’s blood type was T-negative and coloured green due to the copper in it.

Ox blood was used as a fining agent which clarifies wine. A traditional coq au vin is thickened with rooster blood mixed with vinegar to prevent clotting, while black pudding contains pig blood.

HOROSCOPE OCT

BY PETRA DU PREEZ

LEO (23 Jul – 22 Aug) The home fires seem to be burning quite brightly for you this month, so take some time out to enjoy quality time with the family. Be wary of saying things you might regret later on, as it would be all too easy for your words to be misinterpreted.

This month’s memo: Pay only compliments.

AQUARIUS (20 Jan -- 18 Feb) If you have made travel plans for October, you hopefully have enough patience to deal with delays and longer queues. It might be irritating, but it is also an excellent lesson in learning how to go with the flow. Keep calm and carry on.

This month’s memo: Let technology work for you.

VIRGO (23 Aug -- 22 Sep) If a money matter is bothering you this month, you ought to be in no rush to have this sorted out. Look at the matter from different angles, as that might give you a clue about adopting and altogether new approach. Expect a better insight after the 25th.

This month’s memo: Chew things over slowly.

PISCES (19 Feb -- 20 Mar) It is said that timing is often critical in choosing when to have a difficult conversation. That is especially true this month, so if you need to have a money conversation with someone, be careful to pick a suitable time and be willing to defer a decision.

This month’s memo: Avoid any drama.

ARIES (21 Mar -- 19 Apr) The frustration you have felt about not being able to move forward in your career should dissipate once your ruler, Mars, moves into this area on the 26th. By that time too, communication is improved and only the sky is the limit.

This month’s memo: Its time to chase your goals.

LIBRA (23 Sep – 22 Oct) You’ll have to defend your territory at home this month, especially after the 26th. Before that, however, you’ll have to find a way to cope with Mercury retrograde in your sign, giving you a few communication headaches and/or misunderstandings.

This month’s memo: Communicate clearly.

TAURUS (20 Apr – 20 May) The time around the 23rd appears to be an auspicious time for your love life. New beginnings are a theme at this time, so try to orchestrate something that has long lasting meaning.

In addition, the two of you need not agree on everything either.

This month’s memo: Make things happen in your love life.

SCORPIO (23 Oct -- 21 Nov) If you suspect people are gossiping behind your back, try to keep calm and don’t get paranoid. There is little you can do about it before the 25th, so perhaps its appropriate to give them something to talk about at the Scorpio new moon on the 23rd.

This month’s memo: Stir the wooden spoon.

GEMINI (21 May – 20 Jun) Your planet Mercury’s retrograde movement between the 4th and the 25th, is a reminder to remember that having too much fun comes at a price. Your work ethic is under the spotlight around the 23rd, so make the necessary amendments.

This month’s memo: Everything in moderation.

SAGITTARIUS (22 Nov -- 21 Dec) With Mars still motoring through your sign, its not going to be hard for you to lose your cool and get annoyed. An ongoing misunderstanding with a friend could easily escalate, so try not to cut off your nose to spite your face. That too will blow over.

This month’s memo: Up the exercise routine.

CANCER (21 Jun -- 22 Jul) A new hobby or love interest sees you feeling quite smitten towards the 23rd. Hopefully it is not complicated, as the combination of warrior Mars settling into your love horoscope on the 26th, could see the fur fly if someone feels slighted.

This month’s memo: Pour oil on troubled waters.

CAPRICORN (22 Dec -- 19 Jan) Things could go awry at work this month, so make quite sure that your backups are done and that you double check as much as you can. You would not want to eat humble pie, but as from the 26th, you’re in a better position to put up a fight.

This month’s memo: Don’t stop taking the initiative.
