A COUPLE OF OCCASION

It's a fitting expression to say that extremes meet. Mr. Peter Rolins, who weighs 58 pounds, is obviously a man of little weight. And perhaps that's why he fell in love with and married the current Mrs. Rolins, who alone weighs 468 pounds, eight times more than her husband. They are, it seems, a very close-knit couple.
THE CHAMPION OYSTER SHUTTER Such is the title held by an American named John Andrews. Currently 79 years old, he has been practicing his trade for 41 years and, during his long career at the door of a fishmonger, he has managed to total the truly astonishing figure of 60 million oysters opened by his skillful and swift knife.
