summer , with her sister Mrs.
Carrie Jervis of Clinton and with
other relatives hereabouts.
I've never raised pigs,, but
there can't be too much to it,
according to what I've', seen in
the past week.
You merely giVe them all
they can eat, and then clean up
after them. And there's no
trouble at all in preparing
their food.
One of the great advantages
is that there's no garbage. Ap-
parently the only thing •pigs
won't eat is returnable bottles.
This is a fine way to talk
about my son Hugh and his
friend Alex, but it's the solemn
truth. It's not meant in a dis•
paraging way. I'm not full of
disparagement, but of despair.
When I was their age, I was
a pretty fair trencherman. On
one occasion, as I recall, I set a
new family record for corn on
the cob. I ate 13 cobs. On
another, I ate 12 baked apples.
But these were individual
feats. They pale alongside the
stuff Hugh and his mate put
away.
They start off slowly, "Just a
cup of tea, Mrs. Smiley, if you
like. Oh, well, Maybe I'll have
a fresh poach, if they're turn-
ing bad and you want to get
rid of them,"
Half a basket of peaches lat-
er, they might succumb to a
few cobs of corn (it's noon by
now, because they never get up
until it). Before the torn,
they've had a can or two of
cold beans and a half-loaf of
toast "just to be sociable".
When the corn is gone, they
look up with their little., beady
eyes glittering and absolutely
refuse dessert, "Unless you
have some old cake and ice-
cream that's maybe going
bad." There always seems to-
be some old cake or pie that's
on its • last legs, and some
ice-cream that's going bad un-
less you eat it the day. it's
bought,
They manage to get through
the afternoon with the., odd
hamburger and a few bags of
chips and a couple of beers.
But by dinner time, their
snouts are prying the lids off
pots and their little, feverish
paWs are stirring the gravy
and the saliva IS running so
fast yu have to wear rtibber
boots lathe dining-room.
They eat anything '
It's not the food .I Mind,. I've
bought moose • Pastures in
Northern Ontario that were
gu u anteed gold mines. I've
dropped $5,000 bombs in
fields in Holland,. a slaughter-
ing of 10,000 turnips: I've tried
for 20 years to make my wife
base her arguments on reason,
not emotion. I know what it is
to lose.
No, I don't expect any re-
turn, It's just pure fascination.
Where, in the name of the Holy
Old Jumpin' Jehosophat do
they put it?
They're not big, fat, fellas.
They're young and slim. I give
them a plate of steak or turkey
and spuds and vegetables and
salad that would make a lum-
berjack ill.
And I start to eat my own.
And I look' up, and there they
are, twiddling their hoofs,
plates licked clean, eyes flied
on the main platter. •
That:s not the worst thing, If
I eat too much, maybe at
Christmas or New Year, I have
enougli sense to subside in a
corner and belch amiably as I
watch television.
Not' these piggies. One hour
after a meal that would put the
fat lady in the circus on her
back for a week, they can be
seen peering into the refrigera-
tor.
They eat from six to eight.
And when they get in, at three
a.m„ they have to have a little
nits-cap: half a pound of
cheese and a pound of bacon
and a half-loaf of bread and
two cans of soup to wash it
down,
Perhaps it's explainable
when they tell you that they
..often go for days, weeks, living
on bologna sandwiches and
coffee,. chips and milk, hot
dogs and pop. Sometimes'
nothing. •
Elier'tty that nothing? I' have
I've gone for •three days with
nothing and then eaten so touch
Cabbage soup it was coining
out my ears arid'my belly was
touching My chin,
It's not that I don't like to
See young people eat heartily.

News-Record
pats itself
on the back
The role of a community weekly
newspaper is often misunderstood.
If a newspaper remains unbiased, it
must criticize when warranted.
On the other hand, it must keep the
welfare of the community, foremost in
mind, and sometimes the way, is difficult
indeed because it is almost impossible to
please all of the people all of the time,
Thus, when a newspaper can honestly
commend • itself on a successful and
constructive effort on behalf of the
community, it should be allowed to pat
.itself on the back. '
This week, Clarence Denomme,
chairman of the Clinton industrial
committee, has thanked the News-Record
for its constructive effort in attempting -
and apparently succeeding in
influencing Charles MacNaughton on 'the
matter. of the downtown intersection
traffic lights.
The News-Record, both in its
front-page headline and on the editorial
page, gave strong support to. the, industrial
committee's efforts to obtain safety
pleasures for the dangerous intersection,
and to attract new industry to the town.
'Mr. Denomme credits the
News-Record with helping to pave the
'way for a meeting with Mr. MacNaughton
at Centralia last week.
The meeting, although not
-immediately productive, ended with the
promise of Mr. MacNaughtoh to expedite
safety measures at the intersection, and
the offer, of some "good guidelines"
toward the attraction of ,new industry to
Clinton.
Although the pat-on-the-back
opportunity occurs so seldom that the
reaching arm creaks and groans, the
News-Record hereby congratulates itself.
It is certain that Mr. Denomme,
members of the industrial committee,
Mayor Don Symons and Other members
of town council will continue to work for
the good of the community.
So will the News-Record.

Mr. James Snell of Hullett
left for Chicago on Wednesday
with twenty-two head of
Leicester sheep intended for
exhibition at the World's Fair.
The sheep are the cream of his
stock and represent nearly
$2,500.
NEWS TO CLINTONIANS:
That one has to go away from
home for news finds an
illustration in the following
item, clipped from a far,east
paper: — "A record has been
made at Clinton, Ontario where
there has been born twins the
other day to Mr. and Mrs.
Wishard,,' the.. father 77 and the
wife '62 yeari Of age. The twins•
and mother are doing well." It is
scarcely necessary to say that
the item is not true, as regards
this place, 'no such persons
whatever residing 'here, nor any
occurrence of this nature
transpiring here.
Mrs. Taylor of town has
rented her farm of 100 acres on
the .13th con. of Hullett to Mr.
Isaac Lawrence, for one year, at
a rental of $240. She gets a good
tenant and he gets a •food farm.
