Publications mail registration no. 0847 hekt at Lucknow. Ontario. This week, I'd like to share with you two stories about what can happen to curious cats. These ramblings will also give you another indication of why it is special to live in a small community. The feline Sebastian lives in West Wawanosh Township with the Snowden family, Last week, Huron Landscaping was doing some work there and Sebastian for some reason fell in love with the truck. He insisted on climbing into the truck and the Huron Landscaping crew kept taking him out. Later that day, someone found a, cat in town and took it to Lucknow Farm Supply, where quite often you Call find pets looking forasoml home. Judi at Lucknow Farm Supply agreed to keep the cat safe by placing it°, in the large comfortable cage in -the window hoping the.owner wouldsee it. , By the .end of the day, the forlorn cat had not been claimed so a lady, said4e would see if she'tould find a honte for it. , Judi then proceeded to phone Lisa at Huron Landscaping to find out why she hadn't brought her kittens in., Seems like. Lisa' had a few too many little ones and they needed good homes. Lisa said' she forgot. Judi says not to worry, she had a lost cat residing there for the day anyway. The, two ladies got talking, and one thing leads to another and they deduced that the found cat was actually Sebastian from West Wawanosh who it seemed got a ,free ride to the 'city'. Oh, oh! Sebastian has a new home.. What to do? As fate would have it, Sebastian is returned in the morning. The family decided they really shouldn't have a cat. Judi quiCkly phones Snowdens and leaves a message' on the answering machine about the whereabouts of Sebastian. As she turns and looks out the front window, guess who's looking in. The Snowden girls and they are looking jug a wee bit forlorn as they see Sebastian inside the cage. ' Sebastian and Becky are reunited and lives happily ever after. Now young Bradley IvlacInytre's Tiger is another feline who likes warm, comfortable spots to curl 'up, ., Unbeknownst to him, loaded harWag- ons do no always Sit stationary. SO Tiger got a free ride to another barn in the Holyrood area, BradleY advertises his lost cat in• the 1. Sentinel. No Tiger didn't read the ad. Bradley's wise Grandma Macintyre decides to check out the Holyrood barn and goes equipped with some Of Tiger's favorite food. Low and behold, look who appears Tiger - a somewhat thin- ner version after his week's escapade. But now that he is safe with Bradley, he'll surely fatten up in a hurry. So, that's my happy column for this week - the cats came back! The big and the small of it! Mitch Martyn's friend was judged the biggest, and Ashley Palmer's the smallest at the Chamber of Commerce Teddy Bear parade last Saturday morning.

Bolt kills horse, matt's' actions drew attention - A three-year-old horse owned by Ed Gilmore of Ashfield was killed by lightning during the severe electrical storm last Friday afternoon. The horse was in the pasture' field and its mate, by its actions, attracted the attention of. Mr. Gilmore.

Patty Barger and. Oa)* MacKenzie challenged IVIike Whitcroft saying they could eat a super duper special faster than he could. The duel took place July 14 at the Super Scoop Ice Cream parlor. This time the male represen- tative won, finishing his syrupy sweet first. The timing is bad - With inflation running at an all- time high; with just about everyone in the country jumping mad at government's inability, to end the post office strike; with the price of housing right through the roof and interest rates at a staggering 21' per cent for most borrowers - that's the time our members.of parliament selected to vote themselves a 23 per cent raise. • •
