A Woman's Viewpoint on This and That

"YOU d'en't know how much
hydro means to you, until you
haven't got it" . How often
did we hear thalt .. feeling ex-
pressed, Monday, when the whole
town. was without it for most of
the day, due to a direct hit by
lightning on •Um power station ...
MANY industries and busi-
nesses, which depend on elect-
ricity were' at a standstill
Water had to be preserved, be-
cause the electric pumps were
not functioning . . . But it was.
the housewife, who has had her
burdens lightened by electrical
gadgets over the past years, that
really felt helpless on Monday
No Monday morning wast-
ing, due to both lack of water and
electricity; no coffee or bacon
for breakfast; no.' serious clean-
ing could be done—and a cold
lunch . . The good old kitchen
range was something their own -
erns were happy to possess on.

the jungle for a couple of hours
and had fun catching, playing
with and finally devouring six
field mice --three' apiece , .
NOW, we don't • suppose there
is anything remarkable about
this "catch"for a good mouser
--.but the editor of this paper
has always maintained that
animals that eat as much, eat
food as they do and who have
the most cgmfortable chairs in
the house to rest upon and who.
will deign to go out only if the
weather is pleasant—would not
know what a mouse looked like,
let alone catch one . .
AR Y: h
SO you can understand how
pleased we were when each, one
after the other, brought her
frill" to the side door and meow-
ed to attract our attention . .
Of course, they wanted to bring
the dead mice inside, but we dis-
couraged that, and we went out-
side to watch and thus were able
to keep count
'1 *..0
AND to you, our anti -cat -
readers, who think the Atkey
cats should be seen, but not
heard about, our apologies .
But to you, eat lovers, we know
you, always enjoy a, story, either
about your own or someone
else's cat ... It always surprises
us that the ordinary house cat,
which has been domesticated
since the days of the early Phar-
oahs in Egypt, still retains so
much of the characteristics of its
jungle cousins . . . Of course,
they were pretty small mice . .

THE home-grown strawberries
are in ... and as there has been
considerable rain, let's hope the
strawberry season lasts a good
while, as the desserts made from
them are many and varied and
e real boom to the housewife
Also there is a flavour to
the home-grown berry that makes
it a dish fit for a king . .
Whether you use them as plain
strawberries and cream — or
strawberry shortcake — or straw-
berry mousse - or strawberry
