AT BUILDERS'SUPPLY DIVISION ZURICH HARDWARE & BUILDERS' SUPPLY LTD 1 Duet Winners 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; ...............................|- -- .. ; R.

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 livestock Was' few in. number, a name, Suzie, cup, etc. Erich ceiVed. a nrime. HoW much closer Was the 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 gent Tiiere was time to trike a friW moments \Vhile the child wracked Iris brain for a name for a hew half that Was scarc­ ely able to walk or wait a mo­ ment while eggs were counted into A basket one by one. comparatively Each cow had Molly, Butter- new calf re­ 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.
