Healing Substance:
Shrinks Piles
By HOMER PIGEON
History has a bad habit of
repeating itself. This seems to be
the case with Willy Vanneste. He
just picked off 1st, 2nd and 3rd
about the same as he did last
week. The only difference was
our president, Norm Hardy was
there to give Willy a very close
run for the money.
Norm actually clocked the
first bird into Lucan at 12:03.
This bird made a very good
flight and had to be all by itself,
but as Willy has farther to fly,
Norm had to allow him almost
three minutes of overfly and this
put Norm in 4th position.
The Paul Brothers who live
near Kirkton have been
complaining about the amount
of sunshine they miss on
Saturday with Willy's 60 some
odd birds flying in a straight line
from the race point to home.
The birds were liberated at
Cobourg at 7:30 a.m. and Willy
got his first one at 12:05.50 sec.
to fly 1109.6 yards per minute.
His 2nd bird was at 12:05.53
see. He holds the record for fast
clocking I think (2 birds in 3
seconds). Willy had no. 3 'bird
clocked at 12:06.15 sec. Norm
was 4th at 12:03.04 see. making
1102.9 yards per minute.
Next came Tom and Gord.
This is the first time they have
moved up on the race sheet for
quite a while, Their father says
they spend too much time
training girls instead of pigeons.
Jack Hardy was 6th at
12.12.35 sec. Then came Dwight
Henderson, Dwight had quite a
problem between fixing water
heaters and changing
transformers to try to get
enough time to clock a few
birds.
Maybe it was trying to fix
these things between the bird
watching (me thinks). At any
rate he also picked off 12th
position as well as 7th,
Clarence Hardy got one at
12:17 to be 8th. This soft of
shook Clarence up on Saturday
to see Tom and Gord clocking
birds and clapping their hands
and all he could do was sit and

exclusive healing substance proven to shrink
hemorrhoids and repair damaged tissue.
A renowned research institute has
found a unique healing substance
