GOING .. BUT NOT YET GONE — This is still the
scene in the little telephone office in Dashwood where
callers turn a crank on their telephones to signal the oper-
ators and hear in response a cheery, "Number please". Mrs.
Edwin Miller (left) and Mrs. Leo Gibson have had their
hands full at the Dashwood exchange which is completely
surrounded by dial equipped areas. Hay Municipal Tele-
phone Company officials report however that plans for
switchover to dial in Dashwood are proceeding on schedule
and work should be completed by fall. Until then it is
business as usual for the Dashwood operators who request
your sympathetic uunderstanding.

TRY THIS ON SADISTS
A good many people, decent,
kindly, warm-hearted in most
respects, have a morbid streak.
They get a big vicarious bang
out of the gruesome or the
gory.
Eyes glinting, voices lowered,
they discuss with relish Aunt
Sadie's cancer of the liver, the
week -end accident in which a
pillar of the community
smashed his pelvis while head-
ing for the city with his mis-
tress, or Uncle George's ad-
vanced dropsy.
It's a shame, then, to disap-
point these people when there's
a chance to add a little color to
their lives. This week I had
that chance. 1 cut my foot
rather badly. Nothing serious,
but enough to give me a good
heavy limp.
It happened on the week -end,
and Monday morning I was
ready for them. The first eager
enquirer caught me just inside
the door, as I arrived for work.
What was it? Bad fall and a
broken ankle? Hopefully. Ar-
thritis getting unbearable?
Coyly.
No, no, nothing as simple as
that, I assured her. I explained
that my wife and I had been
practising our karate on Satur-
day night, as usual. Growing
bored with smashing those big
dents in the refrigerator with
the sides of our hands, we'd de-
cided to try some footwork. I'd
launched a jump -kick at my
wife's teeth. She, a real karate
expert, had stuck out her
tongue, and it was so sharp
she'd opened a four -inch gash
in my foot. Four inches deep,
that is.
I don't know whether the lady
who'd asked believed me. I
just walked off and left her
standing there, mouth open,
eyes slightly crossed.
The next enquiry came from
one of those loudmouths who
like to embarrass one in front
of a group. He tried. Loudly,
"Whata do? Get drunk and fall
down the cellar stairs, ho -ho?"
Not at all, I told him calmly.
I'd got drunk, been locked out,
slept in a snowbank all night,
wakened with a frozen foot,
and had had to have three toes
amputated. I asked him if he'd
like one as a souvenir, but he
didn't seem too keen.
The next customer was a mal-
icious old bat who Looks like

the flower, but in reality is the
serpent under't. "Been fighting
with your wife again? It's
about time she put her foot
down, On yours, bee -bee."
"Well, we weren't exactly
fighting," I told her. "I had the
shotgun out and was just trying
to scare her a little, just in fun,
when the darn thing went off
and blew a hole in my foot the
size of an orange. Wannta see?"
She turned green and started
to sway, so I left her.
A fourth interrogator, a
young lady who loves trouble—
other people's, that is — came
up to me, eyes glistening, and
solicitously hoped it was noth-
ing serious. I said not really,
just a few severed tendons.
Never be able to wiggle my toes
again, but lucky to get off so
easily. "After all, it was a 30 -
foot drop,"
Gaping, she pursued, "What
in the world happened?"
"Nothing much. I fell off
the roof and landed on one of
the iron spikes in the front
porch railing."
"But what in the world were
you doing up on the roof, in
the middle of winter? You
must have been out of your
mind!"
"Oh, no, not really. I was
just trying to get my wife to
come down out of the tree,"
and that shut her up.
As the day went on, I told
other vultures that: A Grey-
hound bus had stopped on top
of my foot and didn't move un-
til the lights changed; the foot
had been burned beyond recog-
nition by a faulty electric blan-
ket; that my daughter had been
helping to chop kindling for the
fireplace, missed, and lopped
off all but my littlest toe.
Getting my coat in the cloak-
room at the end of a pretty in-
teresting day, I heard two fe-
male colleagues, unaware of my
presence, reconstructing the
accident.
"Drunk as a billy -goat, they
say, and climbing a tree after
black squirrels, with a shot-
gun,"
"No, no. I heard he'd gone
Annual Meeting of Evangeli .cal Church
Shows Succesful Year Just Completed
The annual meeting of the

United Brethren Church was
held following a supper served
in the basement by the ladies
of the church. The film, "Story

ado this summer.
The finance, committee
Norman Gascho, chairman, com-
mended the congregation for
their co-operation in achieving
the 1965 goals, and both he

continuation of the same good
spirit for the year ahead.

tended by a majority of the ac-
tive resident members of the
congregation and personnel of
the local conference.
