Isn't it about time you moved ahead
to Chevy Saving Time?
There is always something e4citing in the WillOck family with
their little menagerie of pets.
On June 28, they were packing up to come to their cottage op
Bayfield Terrace for the antlImer. Douglaa was out in Vancouver
visiting relatives. Peg Willock went to get his guinea pigs, Guinness
and Portia. She gasped in astonishment! There was a baby guinpa pig
in between Guinness and .•rortio.
"Jack! Jack! Come here!" she called in breathless excitement.
There was nothing to do but pack them all into the crate, half of
which was •reserved for Guinness and Portia, and half for Harvey the
rabbit.
And after they'd unloaded the car, Mrs. Willock, Cathie and
Ainslie and a friend brought the guinea pigs over to show Lucy'the
bright new arrival.
A great mystery surrounded the baby. They' believed that
Guinness was the mother, but where was the male which sired it?
Douglas had been •given Portia in January and the Pet Shop owner
had assured him that the little guinea pig was of the female gender
where he selected it.
The family telephoned Douglas on Sunday night and his twin
sister Cathie gave him the news of the increase in guinea pigs.
Douglas was incredulous but when he finally realized that, she wasn't
teasing him, he said "Don't sell it."
When Douglas came home he named the baby Darwin after the
writer of the theory of evolution.
On SepteMber 7, Cathie Willock came over with her mother in
the afternoon to show Lucy the newest arrivals. She had found them
in the pen when she returned from school. At the time they were
busy giving themselves a bath and not always able to reach all parts
without tumbling over. But their strength grew and they were ready
to nibble lettuce when Cathie gave them some. They open their eyes
at birth.
Now they know that "Portia" should have been named
"Shylock!" But since he answers to the name of Portia when
Douglas talks to him, he'll always bear that name.
' Douglas went to an auction sale and bought a small slotted egg
crate with a carrying handle for Harvey the white rabbit to occupy
on trips to and fro from Toronto. He'll enjoy it much more than
sharing the divided orange crate with the guinea pigs for they did not
like Harvey's compartment, nor being close to him. Now Portia and
Darwin will share one end and Guinness and the newest babies the
other end.
Douglas has named them Radisson and Groseilliers (Radiish
and Gooseberry for nicknames). Like their famous namesakes the
pets are already great travellers.
Pierre Exprit Radison (1636-1710) was a French Explorer and
fur trader. He and his brother-in-law Midart Uhouart, Sieur de
Groseilliers were, probably the first white men to explore beyond the
Great Lake.
In 1665 Radisson quarrelled with the French authorities. He
went to England and offered to lead a trading Expedition to
Hudson's Bay. Out of this offering grew the Hudson's Bay Company
in 1670.
If one believes in Re-incarnation one could believe that their
spirits dominate their little four footed namesakes, for they are both
much travelled and adventurous little guinea pigs bent on exploring
this world.
They are such lively little soft brown furry fellows and ran all
around Lucy's diningroom table.
"What will you do with them?" Lucy asked Peg. "Give them
away," she replied, but Douglas has different ideas. Guinness won
second prize at the Royal Winter Fair last year and he plans to enter
Radisson and Groseilliers this winter.
But one thing is certain the Willocks will not run into the same

Flannery still insisted "pigs is pigs". He was instructed to send
the consignment to Main Office.
Six boys and Flannery worked and shipped 280 soap box

Inspector found a cattle car on the siding and the six boys carrying
bushel baskets and dumping them into the wagon. Flannery was in

With a snort of anger he said as he finished to the Inspector,
