      Errol Flynn, well-known Hollywood yachtsman, had a new idea about boats, considered converting a sloop into a floating aquarium.

      The Duke of Windsor, who has been the quiet banter of some roaring rumors. was reported to be resigning as Governor of the Bahamas and seeking U.S. citizenship. London and Washington semi-omcials expressed grave doubts. Said he: “Fantastic!”‘
