Higgins reported seeing a white butterfly out- side the telephone office win- dow on Tuesday morning. At first she thought it Was a large snow flake but closer ex- amination revealed a yellowish white butterfly, flitting about in 20 degree temperature. (It sounds as if it were the species conamonly known as the cab- bage butterfly.) Mrs, Higgins, contacted Mrs. Howard regarding it, and she said that it was the earliest she had ever known one to ap- pear. The cocoon must have been in a warm sunny spot. Then last week the first rob- in of the season was noticed at the feeding station at 3, MacKenzie's on Tuesday, and at Mrs. J. E Howard!s on` Wed- nesday. (It visits bath stations regularly, being identified by a droop to one wing.) Mrs. Howard has also had a visit from a purple finch and H. H, Ormond reported a fe- male evening grossbeak at his feeding station last week. So with all these harbingers of spring maybe the ground hog legend about not seeing his shadow on 'February 2 will be true this year!

Woods) How many readers saw the new beauty parlor for pets over CFPL television recently? Whew Lucy saw it, the thought 'came like a slap in the face; "How soft are we becoming?" Now don't misunderstand her! Had there been one in Hayfield during the lifetime of the late lamented "Trixle Fairyde]l," Lucy would heve been glad to patronize it and even pay for posh surroundings to have the aforement- ioned fox terrier bitch's toe nails clipped, three people couldn't hold her still so she always had to be taken to to a veterinary surgeon. Once she came home with her eyes looking slightly goug- ed. When Lucy complained to the veterinary Surgeon, he he said " Maybe so! She carried on so I gave her a good slap and had to hold her down tightly to do the job." And on Monday, Fedruary 4, the following appeared in the London Free Press: "WINNIPEG (CP) Need 'a pair of rub- bers for your dog? How about a turtleneck sweater, coats and canine jewellery? Linda. Laing who has spent three years training as a veterinarian's nurse is considering opening a beauty salon for dogs that will cater to the most exotic whims of owners of pets. Aside from the complete wardrobe selection, she will provide such services as hair cuts, shampoos, hair-styling, dyeing, tinting and pedicures. Miss Laing is preparing to handle all dogs but she pre- fers poodles "definitely a woman's dog." And the price won't be cheap. A poodle clip, needed ev- ery five or six weeks, will cost $4 to $10 depending on the size of dog .and style preferred," And will milady have the dog's hair dyed to match her own, and the same coloured nail polish? Lucy wonders. She doesn't feel that it is wrong to lavish affection on a pet, for a dog or cat may be most companionable (useful, too). But the danger creeps in when they are taken out of their own sphere, placed on a pedestal, ruling the house so to speak excluding human interests. Commenting on the subject, a friend remarked, "My Good- ness! Look how daft some of those wealthy women become buying diamond studded collars for their dogs! Is it any wonder that when hungry people and hungry nations see such pictures in the magazines, they riot?" And the second "slap in the face" Lucy received was in viewing the aftermath of the fall of the 25th Par- liament at Ottawa on Tuesday, February 5, The jubilation! The singing of " Alouette! Alouette!" It resembled the winning of the Grey Cup football game, more than one of the most tragic events in Canadian Par- liamentary history, • It hurt right down to the pit of Lucy's stomach—not that any one party had lost or won but that so-called men of responsibility and authority were making such a debacle at Parliament, OUR Parliament! Instead of during all in their power for the good of Can- ada, the majority have disgraced the country and them- selves, and left Canada bereft of dignity in the eyes of the world, It is written indelibly in the pages of history. Truly it looks as if we've gone soft at the core in more ways than one! Canada is a young nation, We have one of the highest living standards in the world. But there is no excuse for panicking in a tense situation unless we admit the instability and weakness of some politicians who have, in turn, weak- ened the economy of the country. It behooves all of us to take a good hard look at our- selves. Our way of life as individuals and families make up Canadian national life. We send representatives to Parliament. When we crit- icise the Government, we are in effect criticizing ourselves. Do we so live as to contribute to the improvement of trade, commerce and culture, and to the edifying of the nation? And most of all it behooves us to cast our vote for a representative who is tried and true—a man or woman pos- sessing common sense and stability who is not in politics for personal aggrandizement, or that of his or her party, but to serve the constituency and Canada at large to the best of his or her ability. Lucy hopes that Canada has not entered upon an era or minority governments such as has plagued France for so many years.
