PETER, of the BACKSHOP
(Well,. what do you know! A
mouse on the women's page of
the News -Record. What ever is
the world coming to, anyhow.
We're just wondering what 'Willi -
cent will say once she hears of
this. Probably won't be allowed
out alone for many a long week.
And with the army -worm . fast
losing its fight with the local
farmers, maybe it's just as well.
We would not like to be in the
way when a regiment .of the
hungry !ellows started gnashing
their teeth along the homeward
way from the last barley -field.)
off, for where should we come to
the surface, but at the rear of
the business places just south of
the town hall, and man, oh, Map,
did the waters roil and boil.
Thbre's just enough fall right
there to let all, the ram in the
neighbourhood come rushing pell-
mell clown the back lane and
caught us up along with it for a
merry ride.
• At any rate, we just had to
make an appearance this
week, and tell everybody
about the big flood. Nearly
washed away where we were
and it's just by luck that we
are able to make an appear-
ance at all this week.
5 5 5
You see it all happened this
way. We were strolling along
undergrotind, skipping merrily a-
long a rat's trail we know. That
is, we know the rat personally,
and have travelled his trail quite
often. He's not an especially big
rat, so we're not particularly
• astounded when he yells, "Hey,
Pete" but can make our exit hur-
• riedly enough not to have any
fear of him.
• But as we were saying when
the rat got into the story, we
were going along merrily, and
just ready to come out of the
next man -hole, when suddenly
the light showing down Was
cut-off, and the most torren-
tial downpour of ram water
came rushing down the drain.
MY, oh, my, but we were wet,
and just barely managed to
scramble up to ground level
by dint of digging in the knees
and toes like a mountain
climber.
* *
Then we were but little better
Now we can laugh a little
at the situation, but right
then we were worried. Grand-
pa mouse has always told us
younger fellows of the cats
'that reside in some of the
stores down that way, and the
very worst thing that could
have happened to this mouSe
would have been to get wash-
ed into a basement which was
the domicile of a big yellow
cat of some kind.

20 Witnesses From
Clinton Will
Attend Assembly
A delegation of 20 from Clinton
is completing arrangements to at-
tend irom July 21-25, at the CNE
grandstand, Toronto, what is ex-
pected to be the largest assembly
of Jehovah's Witnesses in Canada
to date.
The Toronto assembly is one of
a series of 21 district assemblies
being held in North America this
year.
Preparations have been made at
Toronto' for an audience of up-
wards of 20,000 visiting delegates
from Eastern Canada and the
Northern United States. The
special feature of the convention
for which an additional day is
alloted, will be the graduation ex-
ercises of the 23rd class of mis-
sionaries from the Watchtower
Bible School of Gilead.
Much preparatory work has al-
ready been accomplished, such as
the work of over 1,000 volunteers
who have covered Toronto and
• district obtaining roaming for the
visiting delegates. A large cafet-
eria has also been organized to
assist in feeding the crowds.
Worried? Well, I should say
we were! And IVfillie was too,
though she hadn't anything really
to worry about until we got home,
and then we were all safe, so to
speak, But she worried anyway
as women folk will, just at the
thought of old Pete, here, getting
washed away, or washed into a
catspaw, or something. Fear not,
we bravely told her, we'll still
bring you cheese and take you for
long walks along through the
hollyhocks next door. But her
weeping would scarcely cease.
* *
That was before we found
out that our column was go-
ing to be printed on the wo-
men's page this. week, though.
She'll stop worrying about our
safety now and go to the
other extreme, no doubt. So
we must be prepared for the
worst. And maybe when the
paper comes out we just won't
be around to be spoken to.
Maybe. At least until supper.
