Miss Wutele has returned from Tie- toria, R.C., where she las been visiting her father, Charles Wur- tele, who has been ill. On 'behalf of the Ontario Society for the Prevention. of Cruelty to Animals, (Miss Wurtele has made visits to Ontario abattoirs, to study methods of killing meat animals. The stclry in the Victoria Daily Times said that Miss Wurtele, with the help of her "almost human" Cairn terrier, Jemima S. McGregor, teaches kindness and care of animals to school Children at Lon- don. She is a member of the board of the London Humane Society. The sax -year-old Jemima has been obedience -trained, she stated, and is used in demonstrating to child- ren such lessons as proper bathing, first aid ,o injured small animals and leash control. Miss Wurtele told of her work as one of the first few women in- spectors accredited by the Ontario SPCA an Huron , °mi ty, entailing investigation of cruelty reports farmers' cow barns and the usrl. cat and dog troubles. During the war there was no veterinarian around Goderich, said Miss Wurtele in the interview, and she had to'–deal with distemper epidennios. She recalled that one night was spent trying to locate a wet -nurse for a ppuppy whose mother had died of disteianper. Having 'little experience, Mies Wurtele prescribed simple rein- edies like aspirin, milk of mag- nesia and caster oil. Fortunately, lots of ."patients" recovered. For those beyond help, Miss Wurteie devised a practical method of euthanasia, and buried the little animals in the garden of her home. "Until mother objected," she said. "After that we cremated the animals." 0 0 0 4414,4e# SELL IT THRU THE waNTAaS Ctean-limbed elegance right to the rear!

PH NI i65 r GODERICI3 OUT ON A LIMB WiTH BILL SMILEY This writer takes a week's vaca- tion next week. It's the annual convention of the weekly news- papers of Canada. 41 4, et 0 We know better. We've been at them before. But you've got to go some place. Oave year I dc,:;.,:,;-; , to stay home on the week's holiday, and just loaf around and fish. I wound, up clinging to the top of •a 40 -foot ladder with both legs and one arm, andtrying to paint the trim on the house with the other. • fj 4, t, Each year, the vireeklies' conven- tion is held in sotne posh hotel, preferably a resort "hotel. This year it's at Manoir Richelieu, a big swank pub on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, the other side of Quebec City. • 42 0 It's the sort of place you go after you've been busting your back all your life to make enough money so you can go there and Sit and nurse your busted back. Accustomed to the querulous tones of • rich elderly ladies and the stentorian snores of retired ty- coons, its stately corridors next week will ring with the merry notes of editors' wives trying to get their husbands to go to bed. Every year, we make the same plans. We're going to take it easy on this convention. Just slow down„ get to bed early, eat well, and have quiet talks and walks with old friends. And every year it's the same old story. You speed up, get to bed early in the morning, can't eat a thing because you're so bushed, and the quiet talks with old friends can be heard a mile and a half away. But this year it really IS going to be different. This elegant estab- lishment has a golf course, a salt- water swimming pool, and good trout fishing in the area. Just what I need. Up early, off to the golf course, then a swim, a good lunch and away to the woods with my fishing rod, while the keen types are having meetings to draft resol- utions about the increase in the price' of newsprint. Yeah. I can just see it now. The only way I coup, get away with, that is to take a cabie across_. the river from -the eenveattio'n Lt's: can e oaf miles wit e ,at that, rr ',,. ,oil% " ft thke - and clubs, anyway, and even if they never see daylght, they'll be mute testimony that I meant well. In one respect we were smart this year, though. Usually we wait until the lasteninute before decid- ing to go to the convention. The result is chaos. At the last minute my wife is ironing, sewing on buttonsea•ada defrosting the refrig- erator. I'm looking for a clean shirt, pleading with the dry clean- ers to get my pants done, and look- ing ruefully at the hole in the sole of my shoe. The kids are crying because they want to go. This year it'll all be different. We planned ahead. Instead of rushing around at the last minute, my wife will be vacuuming the living room and shouting orders like a regimental sergeant -major. I'll bb putting out the garbage, washing the last of the dirty dishes, and looking for my one and only tie. The kids w:11 be crying be- cause they want to go. We have also saved our money carefully for this trip. Other years we cleaned out 'Lite housekeeping money and the kids' piggy banks, mortgaged our grocery money for the next month, and borrowed enough from relatives to scrape through. We'd be •brbke for six months afterwards. 4. 4, This year, we opened a special account in the bank, and called it the Holiday Fund. I've been pumrp- ing every spare dollar into it for six months. This week, I checked the account. There was $12.87 it1 it. Seems I'd 'got_the number mix- ed up with my other account and had been writing checks on the Holiday Fund. I thought it was a little odd that I hadn't had a call from the bank manager about those checks. 4, 4, 4, Oh, well, the heck with it. We're going to the convention, anyway, we'll make one last mad fling at that old feat of burning the candle at !both ends, and if you walk by the office about -September 4th and see °a skeleton tapping his bony fingers on a typewriter, don't be alarmed. It'll only be me. o -- —o o Groom: "Now that we're mar- ried, 1 want you to give up all your girlish habits but one." Bride: "I'll be glad to do it, dear. What one is it?"
