A rising star?
especially after his mother
stepped on his leg and left
him with a permanent limp.
He was allowed to roam
the barn at will. His curiosity
led him to make friends
easily, and he became ac
customed to human com
panions. Everyone mar
velled at his stubborn will to
live, and Herbie became the
talk of the stable.
He seemed to thrive on the
attention and the coddling,
not to mention the chop he
managed to sneak from the
bin each day.
Although still small for his
Odds 'n ends
Call his name and Herbie
comes running, his stubby
legs almost tripping over
each other, his nose in the air
wondering what’s up and his
wiry tail wiggling.
His eyes are big, bright
and full of curiosity and a
touch of mischief. Nothing
escapes their notice. His
dusty nose always seems to
be searching for food.
One pink ear flops for
ward; the other flops back
ward. Both perk up at the
sound of rustling feed, an
opening door or a friendly
voice.
He'll stand beside you, as
long as you scratch behind
his floppy ears, and he
won't even complain if you
tug them playfully.
You’ll be his friend for life,
if you rub his tummy when
he’ rolls over. Initially
rolling over was a trick
taught by an ambitous
human, but Herbie soon
discovered he could use it to
get a tummy rub from
almost any vulnerable
human.
Herbie is a normal playful
three-month-old pig who
thinks he’s a pup.
Herbie was the smallest in
a litter of piglets born last
winter. (The word "runt” is
never used in reference to
Herbie for fear of offending
him).
Frail little Herbie was not
expected to live long,

The Presbyterian Church
Women held their meeting
Monday at the church.
The devotional was taken
by Mrs. A Moir and Mrs. N.
Stanlake and the theme was
“Mary - Mother of Jesus”.
The members are asked to
collect stamps and all types
of cards.
Mrs Donna Webster spoke
on "The Year of the Child”
and told that in this land of
plenty it is hard for us to
realize that sometimes
children lack food, health
care, affection and love.
Mrs. Eleanor Scott from
Huron Hope School told us of
the work being carried out
with the children at this
school. We were told of the
many teaching aids used at
the school and shown some
of the beautiful work these
special pupils have done.
We also saw slides of their
work and field trips. Mrs. J.
Pryde thanked all who took
part in the meeting.
Lunch was served by Mrs.
Kay Snelgrove and Mrs. Sal
ly Laing.
Mrs. Babe Gent, District
Deputy Grand Matron was
made an honourary member
of Exeter Chapter.
It was decided to have our
annual pie booth at the
Zurich Bean Festival August
25.
A collection of $54.00 was
received for the Worthy
Grand Matrons’ project the
Heart Fund.
There were 12 Worthy
Matrons and Worthy Patrons
and 5 Associate Matrons and
Patrons from District No. 5
visiting in attendance,
welcomed and presented
with gifts as a memento for
their special night.
Further plans were made
for our Dance May 26 at the
Kirkton-Woodham Comm.
Centre and the Draw for the
$1,000 bill will be made that
evening.

Lovell’s group.
age, Herbie has become
healthy and rambunctious.
He isn’t quite as friendly as
he used to be, perhaps it’s
just because he’s growing
older or because of the in
fluence of other swine that
have been brought into the
barn.
The farmer sold Herbie to
his granddaughter; after all,
he couldn’t sell him to just
anyone.
(No one mentions the
words "sold” or "owned” in
front of Herbie. He might be
sensitive about that; he
thinks he’s king of the corn
crib).
His new owner plans to
raise him for breeding
purposes. If she can’t keep
him, she hopes to sell him to
someone who will appreciate
Herbie’s unique qualities.
Herbie isn’t just any old
hog. He reminds me of
Arnold of tv fame.
Remember the situation
comedy of several years ago
called Green Acres? Its
reruns have been popping up
on the tube lately.
A city couple moved to a
farm, and their neighbour
had a pig named Arnold that
watched tv from his
favourite chair in the living
room. He even turned the set
on and off.
Herbie hasn’t
learned to handle switches,
yet, and I don’t think he’s
even seen a television. But
he’s young; he can learn.
Most people, who know him,
claim Herbie already has
more character than Arnold,
and his droopy ears certainly
give him an unforgettable
face.
Whoknows?Herbie the hog
from Ontario, Canada could
be,Hollywood’s next pig star.
