Kingdom For Sale To Highest Bidder $125,000 Asking Price For Island LONDON (INS) — One of the world's few remaining kingdoms is up for sale to the highest bidder. It is the tiny island of Lundy, 20 miles off the southwest coast of Britain and the asking price for the entire island plus the rights and privileges of monarch is $125,000 or the best offer. Lundy is temporarily kingless as a result of the death recently of London financier Martin Coles Harman, who had the misfortune of expiring without leaving an heir to ascend his “throne.” The island is one of those tra-dition-drenched old-world oddities which for eight centuries has enjoyed the status of a virtually Independent enclave.

Since 1135 when King Stephen granted it a royal charter, Lundy’s lords have reserved to themselves the rights of sovereignty over their pocket domain. To this day whoever owns the island pays no income tax, and has the right to mint his own coins, .print postage stajnps and import whatever he wishes free of custom duties. He also can control fishing in his coastal waters, deny anyone he chooses permission to land and evict all who incur his displeasure. He has 15 “subjects” — island residents who take their livelihood from Lundy’s rocky soil. Recent lords of Lundy have avoided putting their precise powers to the test with the British government. Harman, who, when he purchased the island, inherited with it a horde of ancient documents, claimed Lundy was completely independent of Britain and that he owed allegiance to no one except Queen Elizabeth. There have been as many as 74 dense fogs a year in London.

Teen-Age Hunger Fills Diet Need CHICAGO (INS) — Big teenaged appetites fill a nutritional need. An exhibit on nutrition at the recent International Livestock Exposition in Chicago emphasized that boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 19 need to eat more than their parents do. The exhibit suggested that parents particularly stress foods high in protein, B Vitamins ahd calcium — meat ancl dairy products — to build teen-age bones and muscles. Nutritionists who compiled the exhibit said that girls should eat about 30 percent more than their mothers in these foods; and boys about 50 percent more than their fathers.
