He told Lucy about seeing them and they laughingly, agreed that rabbits were like lambs — the way they frolicked and played! . , \ But the laugh was on the other side of his, face a' few days afterwards when he thought that perhaps he'd1 better go out and give the little fruit trees another spray with a repellent. (He had used it with apparent success for two winters). , Those pesky rabbits had girdled' all^the dwarf' apple trees above the guard against mice — repellent ar no repellent — ■and also two pear trees which doubtless would have borne fririt this coming season! ’ And of course the ones which had appealed most to the cotton tails were the two on the lawn — ‘Glose”. A delicious early red/apple tree on which there were 20 apples last year, ' and a “Red McIntosh” Which did not bear so heavily but the , fruiit won second prize at the Bayfield Fall Fair. Six years of tender care gone for naught awing to the nibbles of, same hungry rabbits! And this happened while Carl’s attention was centred on his own- problems in getting in and out with his car. The snowdrift made it quite easy for Brere Rabbit to sit on 'the top, nip off the limbs and get more juicy bark off the trunk'of the small trees. “It’s an, ill wind that blows naebody guid,” Lucy often heard her, grandmother Buchan say. * This winter a yellow she-cat has taken up residence in ” the barn- Other cats before her have found shelter here from the wintry blast and the summer,, heat. But Lucy’s spouse consist ently refused to feed th’em, as they’d want into the house. Once when Lucy suggested food, he said: “I throw out scraps. , Triey can find them.” . » It may be a good hunting .ground for cats in the milder weather, but right now rodents aren’t venturing out very far in the cold atmosphere. . And so it happened on the very day that “Mr.” 'was so annoyed arid depressed over the, fate of his fruit trees, the she- ■ cat spoke to him in the barn with a plaintive “Me-ow!” He looked at her. She had been someone’s pet, he was sure but she was- frightened of him, so had evidently known hard times.' She was"not thin, so perhaps still had a home. Maybe she fell, out with other feline members in it 'and came to spend' at least part of"every day in solitude in the barn.' dr she • might have been dropped in the neighborhood to fend for , herself by one of those despicable persons who have no con science Concerning the treatment of dumb animals — pets in particular! • It was a very cold day, so “Mr.” came to the' house and got some bread and gravy and left it in the barn. Then when he wais working' out there he talked to her. Finally, she came out of a narrow passage behind a cupboard, where she probably has a warm nest in an old quilt. She crept up to him, hesitating every few steps; Sometimes, she’d run back and start over again. Ip" the end she smelled his hand1 when he put it out to her. She wanted human company. “Now,” Carl asks, “What shall we call her?” Lucy had np ideas but she did warn:“She’ll probably have kittens in there!” That didn’t phase Carl at all. He doesn’t care if this end of the Village is over run with her progeny, provided they hunt rabbits *and keep their eyes off the birds. ■And speaking of birds, Lucy heard in a review of the area weekly newspapers over CKNX radio' station on Sunday, that crows had arrived — they’ve been here all winter! Mrs. H. G. E. Crosby saw one at Mooretown on January 13. Every - mild day this year people have reported hearing them around i Bayfield, but about February 14, numbers of the birds were, sighted by men working in the bush. Mrs. J. E. Howard in-” forms Lucy that sometimes they don’t migrate much more than 50 miles south, but that those craws which did leave have apparently come back, early this year.- Mrs. "fcharles Bell looked' out her window orie morning test week and saw a huge raccoon amble across Bayfield ' Terrace and make its way down the hill (Mara Street). It was so large that It was about the size of a small bear. Last summer “Mr.” saw very large 'coon tracks in the sandy floor of the driveshed. He told Lucy: "They are so large that they must have been made by "the granddaddy of alb the ’coons in Bayfield.” Lucy hopes that he and his ,4Missiis” haven’t been holed up 'in the barn, too. The thought is rather disturbing in view ’ of the sweet corn Carl is planning to plant. ’ f 1 ■ • 4 I Matter of Principle MEDICAL SERVICES J.

Clinton ' Phone 482-9751 we are faced with other de cisions. ' At what point should we give in to the forces of evil? You belong ' to a worthy or ganization. It has served its purpose for many years but the time . comes when a forceful character or group push in and try to take; over fdr their own end's. •, . What do you do? You fight the chisdlers to the limit. The organization is split. It is being' rendered ineffective. It is on the .verge of destruction. Lest the whole organization die you give in. And there is no Solomon! . Is your action justified? Would it not be better to have the organization “die” than to have it survive for an evil pur pose? Eventually h is doomed to death! Chamberlain had a horror of war! He gave in again and again to the demands of Hitler in order to have peace. But the war came! How can there be peace when human nature seems to 'dictate ’that there is no peace. , Perhaps only a few of us will be faced with decisions that will mean that we either lay down our “lives” or condone what is wrong. I wonder which way we would go. of the two women who had babies. The one baby died and both- claimed the surviving in-, fant. A decision couldn’t be ar rived at so the case was taken before Solomon. When he was unable to find out the true mother he suggested that the captain of the guard cut the baby in half so that each woman would have an equal portion. Faced with this situation one of the ladies gave in and Said the other could' have the child. At this point Solomon inter vened and gave the child to the woman who had refused to have the child killed. Solomon was sure this must be -the real, mother. We are quite'happy with the outcome. We sympathize with the mother who was willing to give .up her child to save its life. We approve of her decision but I Wonder if we are night. To put it bluntly was the mother justified in giving her child to be moulded through out life by a deceitful, deter mined, wicked woman? Remem ber she didn’t know that Solo mon was going to see 'that jus tice was done. Fortunately those days are over and chances of any of us having to make such a decision for the future of one of our children are very remote. But 1 I suppose you’ve all heard of the farmer who acquired a new “hired man”. This young chap was a tremendously good work er. He jumped' right in and did the hardest dlintiest jobs with out complaint and did them well. ’ ’ After several weeks or .this, their came a rainy day and the farmer thought he should give hiis man an easy job while he went to town on business. The farmer provided a good' chair in a comfortable cellar and told the man to sort the potatoes into cooking and seed groups. Feeling quite pleased with his thoughtfulness, s the farmer went to town. When he came home he was amazed to find his “hired man” completely ex hausted. When he asked what happened .the man replied, “I can do lots of hard work but making the decisions knocks me down.” And isn’t it the truth! . I imagine that it is the pro blem of making 'decisions in this complicated, fast moving, frus trating age that is keeping our mental institutions filled. Wouldn’t it be nice if Solo mon would return and give us all the answers arid save us from all our mistakes?
