Hunting in the city The most exciting "hunt" I've witnessed recently took place in the wilds of a back yard in London. It began on a Friday afternoon when my sister's neighbour mentioned in an over-the fence conversation, "I saw a coon go into your woodpile last night," Like a shot, my sister's three kids darted to the small pile, After shifting a few blocks and peering through some cracks, they squealed in unison, "I see him I see him !" and managed to drown out their mother's war- ning, "Stay away from there!" When their father came home, he took charge by phoning the humane society. The reply was, "We don't remove wild animals from city property. Your woodpile has obviously attracted the coon and probably other rodents as well, Why don't you move it?" After a pause, he added, "The only other solution I can suggest is to hire an ex- terminator." The problem of what to do with the raccoon was temporarily shelved, and during supper, the kids were strangely quiet. in the evening, the oldest boy, Dave, went for his usual visit to the farm where he boards his riding horse. Two hours later he returned with a box trap and two tins of sardines. The trap belongs to my friend. He said I could use it," Dave - answered his parents' silent questions, "The sardines were on sale. I'll use the sardines for bait, and when the coon goes in for the sardines, the door'll shut behind him. It won't hurt him." Finally Dave mustered up the courage to ask the inevitable, "Can I keep him?" "No! He's wild. It would be unkind to cage him," came the prepared reply, "Well, if he has babies, can I keep one of them?" "No!" "'1'hen if I catch him, can I turn him loose somewhere in the country?" "That's more like it." After deciding what to do with the coon when he caught him, Dave set up the trap in the back yard near the woodpile. Then he asked his sister to let him try it out on her cat. "No way!" Jan snorted. "It won't hurt him, and he even gets a sardine." "I don't want my cat eating your sardines, and I don't want him in your stupid trap. No way!" By eleven o'clock, four-year- old Brian was sleeping upstairS, and Dave was parked at his bedroom window downstairs scanning the shadowy yard. The rest of us were watching TV in the rec room next to his bedroom. Suddenly he thundered past us shouting, "I got him! I got him! I heard the trap shut. I got him!" Up the stairs and out the door he raced with his dad and his sister on his heels. His mother's caution, "Don't slam the . . ." was interrupted by the bang of the back door and the sound of a little voice from down the hall ROBERT McKINLEY, MP Huron Middl6ex, was presented with a silver tray on June 2 for "faithful and devoted service" as chief op- position whip in the House of Commons by Mr. Elmer MacKay, chairman of the Progressive Conservative Caucus.

Expiorer news The Explorers of Exeter United Church held their Mother & Daughter banquet at the United church on May 27. A smorgasbord was served alter grace by Tracey Mac- Donald. A singsong and musical numbers by Miriam Wright, Suzanne Mothers and Tammy Robinson to entertain the guests, Cindy Down was master of ceremonies and Mary Ferguson conducted the opening ceremony. A toast to the church was proposed by Debbie Taylor and responded to by Rev. Glen Wright. The tribute to mothers was given by Teresa Morrison and the girls were thanked by Mrs. Ken Robinson. A puppet show introduced by Beverley Edwards entertained the guests. The senior girls received their graduation pins, a gift from the UCW. Those graduating were: Cindy Down, Beverley Edwards, Mary Ferguson, Debbie Jervis, Kim Livingstone, Tracy MacDonald, Suzanne Mothers; Teresa Morrison, Tammy Robinson, Sharen Skinner, Wendy Smith, Debbie Taylor, Miriam Wright and Jo- Ann Wurm. The closing ceremony was conducted by Wendy Smith. The guests were welcomed at the door by Joanne Wurm, Kim Livingstone, Debbie Jervis and Sharon Skinner. with a church is still a lot of good eating to be had before the remaining stalks go to 'seed. And, contrary to popular belief, garden rhubarb picked in late June and July is not detrimental to your health, ac- cording to food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Many people shy away from rhubarb because of an unfounded fear that it may cause food poisoning. In truth, rhubarb contains exalic acid, a natural component found in many foods. Oxalic' acid, when consumed in large quantities, can cause mild stomach disorders. And although the amount of oxalic acid in rhubarb increases as the rhubarb ages, it does not reach levels so high as to cause food poisoning — not unless you eat an unrealistic amount of rhubarb each day. The leaves of rhubarb contain more oxalic acid than the stalk and should not be eaten. For the most tender stalks of rhubarb, pick those which are small to medium in size, have immature leaves and are bright, ruby red., Once picked, remove the leaves and store the stalks refrigerated in tightly closed plastic bags for up to two days. 67 percent of Canadians still It's not news that church membership in Canada has been declining. But it may be news to many that sixty-seven percent of the Canadian population (15,093,162) is still related to one of 63 religious bodies. This and a wide variety of other information not found elsewhere, is provided by the Yearbook of (1971 Census); The United Church of Canada, 2,140,102; The 'Aln n)5g1icia2;n Church of Canada, t7,o the Canadian Jewish Congress, 271,000 (1971 census); The Greek Orthodox Arch- diocese, 210,000 (1971 census); The Presbyterian Church in 'Canada, 174,555; the Pen- tencostal Assemblies of Canada, 165,000; Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, 140,000; Lutheran Church in America - American and Canadian Chur- ches 1976, published and distributed by Abingdon Press, Nashville, and edited by Constant 11, Jacquet, Jr. The largest denominations, according to membership figures each supplies under the term 'inclusive membership', which generally means others in the family who may or may not be baptized or confirmed are: The Roman Catholic Church, 9,974,895 • Mommy, Canada Section, 120,592; and the Baptist Federation of Canada, 119,329. Members of 26 Canadian denominations gave a total of $225,699,261 to their churches in 1974 for local maintenance and world outreach. This works out to $57.83 per member, The com- parable figure for U.S. church members is $116.77. A major section of the Yearbook provides brief histories and listings of national organizational structures, national officers and addresses and telephone num- bers for 73 Canadian religious bodies, together with partial information for 19 others or a total of 92 Canadian religious organizations. Probably one of the most useful items in the Yearbook for the average church member is the calendar of religious observances in Protestant, Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Jewish organizations for the period 1976 - 1979. Presbyterian church women meet calling, "Mommy, what's gain' on?" A few minutes later the three returned; the father was chuckling, the sister looked smug and the trapper seemed sheepish. "It was a cat," he muttered as he shuffled back to his look-out. By morning, a second cat had triggered another false alarm and had eaten half the bait, Meanwhile, the coon slept in his deft. The "hunt" didn't climax until the second morning, and next week I'll tell you how the saga of the city coon ended.
