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. 5 5' 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. time, •PERSONALS Mr, and Mrs. Robert N. Irwin and • family are on a motor trip through Northern Ontario. Mr, E. D. W.
