NM NARROW Esaw
FROM 'UNUSED WELL
Mr, Linus Poechman of the South
Line, Brant, had a, .'narrow escape
While pleughing the garden, plot of his
farm with tractor on Friday mom,
ing of last, week,, While turning over
the„turrews he suddenly felt the wheel
pulling to the side, and thinking he
had caught the root of a tree got off
to investigate. Mr. Poechman was
astounded when he discovered that in-_
stead of snagging„ on a root his trac-
tor had crashed through the top of an
old abandoned well leaving a hole
four feet in diameter into the well
which is thirty, feet in depth. This
well must have been dug in the eigh-
teenth century and was left with only
a plank covering about two feet below
the stirface, It was ;a narrow escape
for the agrarian and the incident could
easily have been attended by more
Serious results.—Walkerton Herald-
Times.
A SILLY GOOSE„
A note from Mrs. James Dempsey,
R. R. 1, Petrone, advises us of the faqt
that she has a goose now laying,
which is considered a very rare thing.
Mrs. Dempsey raised geese for many
years and never before had one lay in
the fall of the year. She tells us to put
this one along with the raspberries
and mushrooms.
Perhaps that goose is not so silly
after all. With a goose laying, it post-
poned her big chanties of gracing the
table at Thanksgiving time. Now, if
she can only keep that up until after
Christmas she may get a reprieve for
to continue her usefulness next spring.
when all good geese are expected to
do their duty in the way of reproduct-
ion.—Alvinston Free Press.
IT WAS ONLY A FOX
NO BOUNTY AFTER ALL
Ernest Greer of Glamis thought he
had made $45 Sunday night when he
ran down a large animal on the road
to Inverhuron Beach. However, he was
disappointed to discover, when getting
out of his car that it was only a fox.
His lights picked it up in the centre
of the road but it could not dodge his
speeding car. Another Glamis man,
Earl Ferris, ran down a wolf in the
Greenock swamp last week and be-
lieves he will collect $45 bounty.—Wal-
kerton Herald-Times.
On Friday, October 16th, 1953, 34
boys and girls spent a memorable day

event was the highlight of a year's

Ontario.
rudiments of farm woodlot manage-
ment, The clubs are coached by the
zone foresters and in many cases by
the Agricultural teachers in the 1-11gli
schools. At the local Achievement day
held for each club, the members must
exhibit a collection of 20 leaves and a
collection of 10 twigs or seeds or
woods of forest trees; they must pass
an identification test on leaves and a
quiz pr test on the work which they
have studied during the course of the
club year, The top 2 members of the
club art then eligible to travel to the
Inter-club competitions 'at Guelph.
However, there is one stipulation, a
team member must be at least 16
years old before be can go to Guelph.
The competition in Guelph,,includes
the identification of 20 trees; 20 for-
est tree leaves; 10 twigs, seeds or
woods; and an oral quiz on the work
they have covered in their local club
programmes.
A number of Forestry team mem-
bers who went to Guelph were greatly
surprised by the magnitude of the
days' programme arrange for var-
ious 4-H clubs. Some 454 boys and
girls competed in the 8 competitions
dealing with various 4-H club projects.
