The climate is mild year round, frost Is rare and it never snows, he said. Perhaps the community Itself a community of shopkeepers, fishermen and farmers, among others Is another attraction. "It's notarially a place to go and escape. You have to have quite a reserve in yourself to live there," Mrs.

Beaumont said. "It is not an anonymous community. Everybody matters. Everybody is responsible to their community. It doesn't matter how clever they are or anything.

All the people are Can it be. as some say, that England never conquered the islands that they conquered her?

The parcels can be sold, but only as a whole parcel, "you can't sell off a bit of it," and you would have to get the seigneur's permission. And after all that, you would have to had lived on Sark 10 years to be able to build a house. But as the seigneur pointed out In an interview on a recent visit to New York, visitors are more than welcome. There are five hotels, and they're small, about 30 beds, but there also are guest houses, bringing the total accommodations to about 400 beds. Now there are no sports, like golf and tennis.

There are sandy beaches along 40 miles of coastline, but since Sark is a plateau 300 feet high, it is quite a climb down and back again. There's no hunting. No planned entertainment. The phones on the island are the old crank-the-handle type to get the operator. So what does Sark really offer the visitor? "It's a completely unwinding kind of place," said Mrs.

Beaumont, who also was born there. "When people come on holiday they forget the day, they forget the time, they seem to forget everything." "We don't use any insecticides and herbicides, so you've still got all the butterflies, you've still got all the wild flowers and the birds and everything." She told a story of a group of blind people who visit regularly every year. "Some years ago my grandmother was talking to them down in the little village. 'Tell me, why do you like coming to she asked. 'I always think of it as such a visual island because it's so Their answer; we can really smell the flowers and we can hear all the birds'." Speaking of her own return to the island, Mrs.

Beaumont said, "I thought It would be lonely. But it's not a bit lonely." She pointed out that they do not travel a great deal because "it is just so nice there. It Is so lovely." Evidently a lot of people agree with her. Last year, Sark, along with its sister islands of Guernsey and Herm had 295,000 visitors. Jersey had 1,194,000.

According to the seigneur, the best months to visit the Channel Islands are June, July and August If you want to swim and sunbathe. But he says "all the islands are much more attractive in April and May. You get all the flowers out then." By LILLIAN O'CONNELL UPI Life-Style Editor Chances are you can't live there, but It's a great place to visit. So says Michael Beaumont, seigneur of Sark, a tiny anachronism anchored 25 miles off the coast of France. Until three years ago Beaumont was a guided weapons design engineer with the British Aircraft Corporation in Bristol.

When his grandmother, Dame Sibyl Hathaway, died at the age of 90, he took his wife, Diana, and returned to the land of his birth a medieval fiefdom brought under British rule when the Duke of Normandy defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings. That was in 1066 and the Duke became William I of England William the Conqueror. Dame Sibyl's resistance to the German occupiers of the two-square-mile Channel Island during World War II made her famous. A book and a play about her, "The Dame of Sark, were successful in Britain and the United States. When Beaumont became heir to the Island, he promised to keep it a place of peace and tranquility in a frantic age.

While the island's history goes back to sixth century legends, it wasn't colonized until 1565 under a grant by Elizabeth I. The colonists were settled on 40 farms, and these boundaries still hold. There is a permanent population of about 600 people. In origin, the Sarkese are almost evenly divided, half British and half The seigneur is one of the last remaining feudal lords in the world and as such has certain obligations. He owes allegiance to the queen as the duke of Normandy, and if her majesty should find herself In personal danger, he must rush 40 armed men to her rescue.

He also must pay an annual rent to the queen of about $2. In return he may own a bitch dog, a privilege not shared with any other Sarkese living on the island, and keep a flock of doves, which he does. Sark Is free of planes and automobiles, which are banned. There is no industry, ergo, little or no pollution. No crime to speak of Is committed on Sark, although there is a small jail.

They do have a housing shortage "In so far as everyone seems to want to come and live on the island," the seigneur said.

GOREN BRIDGE NEW YORK (UPI) What does "The Bionic Woman," one of TV's hottest shows, have to do with the silk moth Bombyx mori? Don't ask Lindsay Wagner, she's only the star of the show. But you might ask some of the nation's scientists.

It turns out that there really is something called "bionics" and, although it sounds like science fiction, it's fast becoming a new source of study for scientists throughout the world. Very simply, bionics uses models of living systems to find new ideas for useful artificial systems or machines. The word itself, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, was coined in 1958. The idea goes back at least 450 years to Leonardo da Vinci, who sketched a rude helicopter based on the whirligig of the maple fruit as it falls to the ground, spinning on Its axis. Today, hundreds of ideas are being pursued that might benefit man.

One scientist, for instance, noted that the dolphin's skin reduces turbulence In the water, allowing it to swim at great speed. Now artificial skins are being used on some torpedoes. Certain Insects were used as models by the U.S. Army to construct a four-legged robot -that can walk through swamps. Other researchers are looking Into animal muscle, the nervous system, the human brain, the glowworm's light, and the odorsenslng mechanism of the Bombyx mori for useful applications.

Why bionics? Scientists feel that living creatures, as the end products of two trillion years of evolution, should have a lot of good ideas to offer. LPIES bAo'. off'.

South deals. NORTH 765 0J3 KQJ974 WEST EAST KJ2 1098 VQJ109 062 OKQ9875 10865 A SOUTH AQ43 OA 104 32 The bidding: South West North East 1 Pass 2 Pass 2 Pass 3 Pass 3 NT Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: Queen of V. "Gentlemen of the Jury: "The case against South is simple. You are only asked to consider one. question did South unlawfully peek at his opponents' cards? If so, you would be correct in assessing a penalty against him.

"The evidence is straightforward. There is no disagreement about the bidding. North tried to convey that he had a weak hand, suitable for play only in clubs, by bidding and rebid-ding his long suit. Nevertheless, South persisted to three no trump. "Against this contract West led the top of his heart sequence.

Declarer won and led a club to the king and ace. East returned a heart, declarer again winning. Now, South led a club and finessed the nine. When this held the trick, declarer had nine running tricks. It is the contention of the prosecution that South's play was highly unreasonable and could be explained only by the fact that South had wantonly and with malice aforethought looked at the hand of at least one of his opponents.

South maintains that a jury of his peers can find him guilty only of superior technique. What is your verdict?" "Not guilty, with special commendation to South for his astute reading of the cards. In these days when every defender is familiar with the elements of hold-up play, there can only be one reason why East, looking at an entryless dummy, would win the ace of clubs on the first round of the suit, thereby setting up the rest of the cards on the table-that is, because he held a singleton acel Therefore, the second-round finesse of the nine is an automatic play for any declarer worth his salt." "Case dismissed. Court is adjourned." Your play to the first trick could decide the fate of the contract!
