Rambling With Lucy
(Huey R. Woods)
Two. weeks ago, Mrs. Fred McEwan told Lucy about the
hlack squirrels at her place feeding the birds. '
It seems that while they, haunt ’her place, they go to
Dayid Martin’s place across the road and help themselves
to cobs of corn wildch they carry back, Then they, sit up
on a tree stump and nibble on the cob, leaving g. sprinkling
of broken corn kernels on • the stump or lawn.' <
' The squirrels ate no sooner off to snitch a fresh supply
than the bluejays arrive,' gossjping about their find as thej'
gorge themselves. The other birds hear the news 'and1 have
'the pickings if any are left.
In Bayfield word comes of a imowledgeable squirrel
which Shopped, without money and without price, at Hovey’s
store last week, JShe owes her advanced education to .Tom
Bailey and Mrs, E. W- OddTelifson whlo gentled and feed her,
And yes, J. E. Hovey admits to giving her . some stale pea
nuts after Christmas, : , •
“Blanche” the Hovey’s White cat has been .on the sick
list, (we are pleased to repdirt that she is now taking nour
ishment again). She had not enough energy to keep four-
footed • trespassers out of the store, or Black Squirrel would
never have walked about the shop selecting tasty food.
The first foray occurred when Mrs. Hovey heard a crack
ling noise like fire behind her. She turned in alarm and was
amazed to' see Black Squirrel making off with a celophape
bag of peanuts. ,
• Later in the day,' Ernie Hoyey found a jar of peanut
butter-half-eaten in the garden. So he went into the storC-
~ room and found Black Squirrel had opened a crate and taken
one jar outside. Sh'e had eaten through /the plastic tops of
two other jars, so he put them outside, too. <
Those jars were scraped clean. Black Squirrel didn’t
roll the first one out, she carried it. It. weighed 11 oz.!! One
customer asked, facetiously, if a can opener had been supplied.
Sometime later the proprietor took a commercial traveller
out to show him how neatly the squirrel had cleaned out
those jars. She knew she was in disgrace, so' she climbed
the maple tree and lay with her he'ad -flat on. a limb, keeping
an eye' on the two men. She was too full of peanut butter
to frisk about or give’ any back chat!
The squirrel keeps hanging around the back door at the
Store. Mr. Hovey caught her sneaking in. again, put her odt
and locked the door. In a few minutes a man in the store
asked: “Is that.one of your customers?” nodding towards
the front, door. He looked and there was . Black Squirrel
standing up looking in the dbor — waiting like a small child
for the next customer to open the door and let her into1 the
store again. Was she making hay While the sun shone, know
ing that “Blanche” would soon be on guard again in the
store. •
Recently, a woman appealed to' John Dickens on “The
Open Line” over CFPL Radio, to know how to gbt a squirrel
out from behind a refrigerator in the kitchen. The answer
was to spread some peanut butter on bread and it would
tempt the small animal out. It worked. Apparently, Squirrels
cannot resist peanut butter.
And apart from' this nice little story of black squirrels
indulging itheiir appetites,. Lucy heard a bloody story of crime
by the red squirrel. It equal's any ’orrdr in a penny weekly!
But lit is true. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Hill shuddered as they
saw a red squirrel de-capitatie three baby robins;

Education Alone
, As I write this story there
is before me a photo of a young
man with white 'bow tie, gown
and brown-edged cowl, signify
ing that he has received' the
Degree of Dr. of Veterinary
Medicine from! the University
of Guelph.
For him it is the end' of a
period of many years‘bf study
and preparation • and the be.~
glmriing of a period putting his
education into practice tor the
servioe of ihis fellowman.
For his parents it marks the
final’ step of the child into an
independent life of Iris own. It
is a time when parents feel
a justifiable pride in their off
spring, yet • it alro calls up a
host’.of memories of happy and
carefree times of years gone by.
HoiW easy it is«to remember
this ybuhg lad who learned to
count by gathering eggs before
he even1 started to school.
Wheh he Was young our

farmer his farm animals in
those days. Arid how much
closer to his family when
somehow the press of work to
make a living was net 'So Ur

J. Carl Hemingway
, Why should a boy that was so
interested in the farm and
livestock now step forth as a
Veterinarian?
The answer would seem to ibe
quite simple. This is the clos
est that »he can stay to the
farm, yet provide a standard
.of living for his wife and fam
ily comparable to. the average
in our affluent society.
Over the palst several years
there has been little indication
farmers Will be able to dO this
if any consideration is given to
returns on invested capital. It
is 'indeed fortunate that so
many of our young people have
been able to adjust their lives
to other occupations which
they can find sritiSifying. Not
only do they benefit but they
also make it that much easier
fori those who are unable to
adjust- to another type of work.
While attending the banquet
ih honour of OVC (.‘graduates
last week, I couldn’t keep from
wondering how long this trend
for farmers would have to con
tinue. The guest speaker spoke
at length about the , great Con,"’
tribution these graduates could
maker for the betterment of
mankind by reducing disease
losses iri livestock through
remedies rind preventative med
icine. This could have a real
factor in increasing the world
food supply. And tills Is true,
but if the decrease in the num
ber of farmers continues at its
present fate because of unfav
ourable [income, there will be
little chance that food prO-
duction will increase.
The speaker Went on to say
that the number of veterinar
ians in Canada could be doubled
without creating a surplus. No
dbubt this is true but We must
remember that a large percent
age, of these obtain „ their in
come directly from the farmer.,
One young farmer, who spec
ializes in raising little pigs,
(about 400 per year), along
with the feeding Of about 40
steehs, told me his veterinary
bill for ’65 was ?450. Could he
afford $900? Hardly, under
present farming conditions!
We seem to be living in an
age of "professional" worship,
But let tts remember that man
cannot live on “Education”
alone.
