up into the big old rocking chair and "Mr." would Come and take
inc on his knee.
I've also had a good look through the house - at least the
downstairs - and was just making myself comfottable on an
easy chair in what they call the parlor when that man came and
picked me ep and put me outside!
I've also been up on Lucy's bed but they didnie seem to appreve
of that either, and while she wasn't cross when I snuggled up
to her, I didn't like the look in her eye.
I don't mind music . but when I hear the voice of a stranger
come from that little box behind the bed, I get back to the
kitchen,
They have the queerest thing in the dining room tote A man
came into a box one day and talked at us, .Lucy and Carl didn't
seem to mind. (They called it aTee-Vee- maybe that's the man's
name), I flexed my claws and decidedto go off on one of my secret
missions, immediately.
And you know "Mr" is always offering me something to eat,
or milk to drink. Sometimes I take a little to please him, especially
that strange food which comes out of a tin for which I've acquired
a taste.
I think humans are very queer mammals. They always' ,want
to eat. And I've discovered they have regular meals, too, Vehy
don't they eat when they're hungry as I do? I catch my own meat
and eat it warm. Nothing can touch a nice Ailey mouse or tender
rabbit! (I don't mention birds as "Mr" took a brown to me last
summer when I caught an unsuspecting young,oriole),
At the same time I hear them talking about calories (whatever
they are) and reducing in weight Lucy says they've lost weight
in the three weeks they had that cold so when they get their
appetites back again, they can afford to indulge in Christmas
goodies.
They still don't know what ailed them. A man in that corner
box said it was not caused by a virus but bacteria. And he
named streptococcus, staphylococcus and pneurnococcus as being
responsible for so 'much misery,
"Three to one isn't fair!" says Lucy. And as a matter of
fact, after three weeks, she has a lurking suspicion that they
are settling in her throat again. "Mr" says he's better - he
can eat anything- but is not feeling too spry.
The seed catalogues started coming the day after Christmas.
Carl looked over them all, pretending he was going to put them
in the waste basket. But Lucy just managed to look through one.
An the illustrations were all too bright to interest her in this
near-zero weather,
I really got quite excited one day. "Me-owl Me-owl Me-owl"
I exclaimed in glee when I saw "Mr" bringing the wheel chair
into the dining room. I purred around Lucy's feet as I thought
she was going out to the garden! I often curled up on a corner
of the rug at her feet and kept her company when she sat out
there enjoying the flowers. But she was only going into the
parlor, and "Mr" put me outside.
I did want Carl to caress me one day so I jumped up on the
table like I did on his work bench at the barn and he slapped
me, (What is the difference between a work bench and a kitchen
table?) I retreated to the big rocking chair. My feelings were
injured.
However, I've forgiven him and when he arrives each morning,
he'll see me sitting on the post opposite the h keictearn window.

your telephone
manager
Recently someone asked me: "Do you sell telvhones?" Of
course I said "No." That's right, Bell Canada doesn't sell tele-
phones. We sell service. That telephone in yout. home or office
or store is just a small part of a -very large, complex communi-
cations network. When you lift thp handset, a nation-wide service
organization of skilled, responsible people is placed at your
disposal. Connected to your phone are more wires, poles and
microwave channels than you'd need to string a circuit to the
moon and back, Ehough switches, tubes, relays, amplifierfs and
transistors to wire the world for sound. All these elements, big
and small - plus some that we haven't even mentioned -
-work in close harmony to build a voice path for you to almost
anyWhere in the world. No, we don't sell telephones. And we

Repairing telephones
*
isn't a dull job, at least for one
repairman in British Columbia. One day he went to the forest
ranger's cabin to find out what was wrong with the telephone.
He analyzed the trouble as a short circuit and traced it to a
nearby vacant lodge which was on the same line as the ranger's
telephone. Hearing movements inside, he rattled the door - and
a huge, frightened bear bounded through the side window and
disappeared into the forest. The repairman entered the cabin
and found that the bear had knocked the receiver off the
hook, causing all the trouble. After replacing the receiver,
getting in touch with the owner to have the window repaired
he calmly reported the trouble "all 'cleared". *
Do you have a party line? It's -a thrifty and convenient
service. And, it can be very pleasant for everyone especially
when simple party line etiquette is observed, It's really just
following the Golden Rule. You appreciate having the use of the
line when you need it - and so do your party line "partners."
Being sure that the receiver is hung in place, keeping calls
spaced out and brief, teaching your children good telephone
manners, respecting privacy - these are things that help give
all party line users full value from their telephones. In those
areas where there are several "partners" on a line and different
rings are used to identify the number Wanted, it's courteous
and thoughtful to answer your ring as quickly as possible,
Especially in the late evening hears when youngsters or
neighbours who are ill may be asleep, it's a real kindness to
all the "pairtners" on the line to speedily answer your ring.
'That way, you get your call but others are not enduly disturbed,
