Sure, and you ladies have just that many more days left to go shopping for a young man to pop the question to before old 1953 rolls in. Do take warning now from a little old mouse, who knows. It's in the book. At least it's in the calendar. 1.7 0 We know you've all heard of partnerships which included one "silent partner". Well, at long last this mouse has gained just such a one. From where he came, We do not know. Whether hell stay, we do not know eith- er. Only one thing is certain. He, she, or it, is here right now, and there's only the sound of the cars in the street to mar the silence. (By the way, who ever heard of the night before, the night before Christmas when there was rain in such vast quantities, and the sound of swishing wheels through puddles instead of a gay sleigh -bell jingle. Methinks Canadian wint- ers and Canadian Christmasses are changed a lot.) 0 a Well, to get back to the silent partner we have recently acquir- ed. He's rather a small type with ears round and bear like. He has a pert little brown face that rath- er put him in the mousy class, but there his rodent-like features come to a sudden halt. His back has a high rounded look, though not a bit like a camel's hump. In mousy circles his tail would be laughed out of existence, for it is a little bit of an excuse for a tail, indeed. And his back feet, (we can't mention his front ones) for besides being silent, this part- ner of ours does not move about at all, and his front feet thus are never in view) are a bit flattish, and turned up, so they look like a turtle's a does when one starts to walk along. Q 0 We have been told that he might be a panda -bear, but al- though he does have a white stomach, we rather shy from that notion, because he definit- elyis not bare. re. His back and the back of his head is covered with a firm bumpy surface that we believe would make a wond- erful place to light a match. "That is, if there were no furni- ture of any sort handy. o Q a Nevertheless the whole aspect of this excuse for an animal is so puzzling that we'll just call him SP, standing for "silent partner", and if he ever does anything worth while, we certainly will let. you know. At present, life with him seems rather dull, and we plan to go to him only when we want advice given in the affirmative. 0 0 0 We wish, at this time, to say a few words (this is the immor- tal word of all after-dinner speakers). We wish, that is to say, in a few words, to express our appreciation for your co -op - CLINTON NEWS -RECORD Ontario Street YPU Fold Christmas Party Ontario Street Young People held their regular meeting on Tuesday, December 16 in the form of a Christmas party, having as their guests Blyth, Londesboro, and Auburn.

At Least we hope that you will realize that we feel that you've done your part in this world to promote better feeling between mice and men, at least between the men and mice, 0 0 0 The mice have always been willing.
