One of the most weird and wonderful experiences, with the emphasis on "weird" occur- red recently in Bruce County. Conservation Officer Gerry F'srris was patrolling a heavily 'oded area in Bruce County on foot, searching for wild dogs which were running and killing deer in the area. Back in the bush about one and a half miles from the closest road the officer entered a small clearing and noticed a six foot mound resembling an old grave; on the mound were growing watermelons, several types of squash, cucumbers, pumpkins and one beautiful red gladiola. At one end of the mound was a weatherbeaten rough cross with fresh writing - " In Memory of W. E. Gourd" Since this occurrence, all kinds of thoughts have been considered on the story behind this weird and wonderful find- ing. No doubt there is an an- swer; but until the truth is found, they are keeping t h e exact location a deep dark se- cret. COUPLE RECEIVES PLATFORM ROCKER FORDWICH-A presentation and dance were held on Friday night in the Fordwich Commu- nity Hall in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Don Brown, who were recently married. Mrs, Rus- sel Nichol read the address and the couple was presented with a leather platform rocker. A six-year-old was walking with her mother when they saw a hawk. The child asked what that "thing" was and when in- formed it was a kind of bird answered, "It can't be. It isn't paddling its wings." YOU ''' VOTE F`' R JOHN RRIE AS SCHOOL TRUSTEE BILI.
