(Staff Photo) H;GORDON A few . months' ago :.a pic- turesque -turesque old bachelor who lives on the edge sof One of +tario's fast grOwing suburban coma*. nities was visited by two officios gentlemen who 'said' that they were from. the Board of Health, "Well, I've got n4 health nroh- 'ems," the old boy s id, INA come in and sit anyways." Which the visitors did,, thou they had to push a couple of dogs off the sofa to find a ;place. The house didn't smell ,too ;good either, they thought, so they. decided to come to the point right away, "We have reason to believe that you're keeping chickens here," they said. "Have a drink," the old fellow said. "I've got a bottle of Irish here. ' If you've come to test my hens for syphilis, we can do that later." ..� The gentlemen deelihed ' the drink—maybe because they didn't want to accept any favors while in the discharge of official duties; maybe' `beeausisethey didn't just like the way their host blew into the'tumblers before he wiped them out. "We're not here to test your chickens," they said. "We're here to tell you.to get rid of then'. Thetcouncil has passed a by-law • that says you can no longer keep fowl or livestock within the bounds of this municipality." The old fellow twas suddenly aware of the fact that c these weren't the 'kindbf' visitors to welcome with whiskey' at all. He put the bottle back. into - the cup- board and slammed the door " against it. "Look,"he said;, "I've got a little message for y mmguys to take back to that council. Got a:7_,„ pen ready?... You just tell those great people in the town hall that I happen to own these here five' acres. Tell them I've owned it for 25 years. I' owned it when; their town hall was still a mile: away from here! And you tell 'on how I got it too! I got it through the Veterans' Land Act -a small token of appreciation for the year I spent overseas ' in the poor bloody infantry preserving freedom! Remember? Ansa while' y'ou're,tate ' o you're,' a'do ` ent :),n)h r, am bit • worse than the chimneys of those factories they brought in here to make this town bust its seams, and if they think they can tell a man like me to turn his hens into chicken noodle soup, they're nuts." The gentlemen from the Board of Health got up, still very offi- cious. Said one of them : "We'll give you one week." That was going too far. The old guy yanked a whip off its hook by the door, and shook it at them. "And just before you get through that door," he said, "I want you to take a squint at that row of medals and badges up there by the clock! I got one of those badges for being able to pick the eye tooth out of a sparrow at a hundred yards! And next time you show your face mind that d don't give you onstration!" , At .the neap c'of, one of the ousted. alleged that the laid acro the anatomy.
