Mr. Campbell explained that

The telephone would have a

Another benefit of the system
would be that in case a fire

It was revealed at the

lowest portion of the total

PG.2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan. 16, 1974.
A backward step
In the aftermath of the Provincial Liberal Leadership conven-
tion that re -appointed Robert Nixon as party leader a move was
quietly made that should raise some hackles in this part of the
province.
In an effect to strengthen the party Mr. Nixon named two new
men to the front benches of the Opposition, the seats that trad-
itionally denote the hierarchy of the party. Named were Donald
Deacon and James Breithaupt. To make room for these new-
comers someone had to go to the backbenches and one of those
who left the front bench was Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron -
Bruce.
The move once again makes one wonder about the political
aptitude of Mr. Nixon and m kes one despair of the fact that the
despotic Davis government will be kicked out in the next elec-
tion. Mr. Gaunt has been one of the strongest members of the
Liberal party in the last decade. At a time when the party was
in darkest gloom, he was one of the few bright spots.
In a traditionally Conservative riding, he has gained a virtual
strangle hold. He has worked hard to serve his constituents and
is always on call for help, He has served capably on many
committees including the famous Hydro investigation and the
committee to investigate the community use of schools.
When Mr. Nixon spoke of stepping down, Mr. Gaunt's name
was one of the first to pop up as a possible successor, although,
wisely, he chose not to run. When Mr. Nixon decided to run
fcr the leadership again, Mr. Gaunt was one of his strongest
supporters.
The Liberal hopes for an upset of the Davis government"were
based to a large extent on the sweeping upsets in Huron riding
and Toronto St. George riding in byelections last spring. In the
wave of enthusiasm that followed, Mr. Nixon was persuaded
that he had played a part in the victories and that he should not
.give up the leadership, Maybe this was true, but in Huron
jriding, the influence of Murray Gaunt was far more important.
Anyone involved in the campaign will tell you that the whole.
hearted support of Mr. Gaunt gave jack Riddell instant credibil-
ity, helping him greatly in his tremendous upset in the
long-time Conservative riding.
Knowing Mr. Gaunt, this apparent demotion will likely
make no difference in his dedication or his loyalty to the
party, yet it may have a discomforting affect on the rest
of the party and it surely must shake one's faith in Mr.
Nixon as the kind of astute leader needed to change the
course of political history in Ontario.
Day dreams
Max Saltsman, N.D.P. member of Parliament for Water-
loo- Cambridge became something of a national hero last
week when he proposed in a private member's bill that
Canada invite the 30 islands of Turks and Caicos in the Car-
ribean to become a part of Canada.
For Canadians in the midst of cold January with the spectre
of fuel shortages hanging over their heads, the idea was
enough to get the man named Prime Minister, as he pictured
us basking inthe sun in the new part of Canads. The only
thing wrong with Mr. Saltsman's vision was that he failed to
give us ordinary blokes the word on how we were going to
be able to afford the money to travel the 1600 miles to our
islands in the, sun, even if they do become a part of Canada.
Avert the crisis
Owning ones own home in Canada is quickly becoming a
preserve of the rich. Toronto, with the average price of
a house between 40,000 and 60,000 is now the most expensive
place in North A r erica to live. Even in London, one of the
less expensive clues, the least expensive home now costs
$34,000.
Developers blame municipal governments. Municipal
governments blame provinicial governments and provincial
governments blame the federal government and the federal
government blames wcolld-wide inflation.
Someone is to blame and its darn well time we found out
who so that something can be done to change the situation.
Certain cost increases can not be helped, perhaps, but there
is no reason why the price of housing in a city like Toronto,
already very high, should have increased by about 30 per
cent in a year.
The federal government has refused to undertake a study
of the housing problem at this time. They should reconsider
at once since the federal government is the only one that
can take a look at the whole/situation nation wide, both in
large cities and small towns.
At the present rate, even if a study is under -taken today,
the price of houses is likely to have doubled by the time the
report is ready. There is no time to waste. We need
answers now.

IT'S COMMON SENSE
Adrian Vos, who contributes
a deeply thought-out column to
this paper from the standpoint
of the average Canadian farmer,
has pointed to the decisions in
both Prince Edward Island and
Denmark that agricultural land,
' owned by non -fanners, must be
available after one year, to
persons who will use it for the
production of food. That is,
of course, if the non -farmer
fails to make productive use
of these acres in the same time
period.
Denmark, PEI and Mr. Vos
have seized upon a valid point.
Most of us have been made
painfully aware that food has
become a scarce and costly
commodity within recent
months. In this column we have
been re -iterating the same point
for 15 years -- that there are
too many hungry people and too
few who are well fed.
In the province and country
referred to above the govern-
ments have taken concrete ac-
tion to make sure that as
many arable acres as possible
are used for the production of
food, in the belief that if more
food is grown from the world's
tillable acres, more hungry
bellies will be satisfied.
In total accord with all our
preconceived notions in this
prosperous part of the world, we
still tend to think that as long
as we are well fed it is unlikely
that anyone else is in any real
sort of need. The stark facts
are, however, that we are the
exceptions --not the general rule.
Full stomachs are pure privilege
or they have been up to the pre-
sent.
Too long we have stood idly
by and watch tens of thousands
of acres of food producing soil
skimmed off and thrown away
to make a solid bed for asphalt
and concrete. We build our
cities on one of the remaining
resources which can never be
replaced --the rich: earth Cod
gave us for the production of
food. The western part of
Africa, and vast stretches of
Asia, may be vaguely unhappy
abiut our flagrant folly today --
our own grandchildren will in-
evitably curse the greed for
profits which permitted our
generation to throw away
for all time the soil from which
their children might have expec-
ted to draw sustenance.
Mr. Vos points to the fact
that a land -owner who has no
intention of using productive
acres for the growth of food
should be subject to some form
of penalty --and he is right.
There has been far too much
descussion about the exhaustible
resources of oil and minerals.
The one and all-important re-
source is the comparatively
small percentage of this world's
land area which will produce
edible crops. Those who have
the money to acquire these acres
must be forced to use them for
something more productive than
pure fun.
--The Wingham Advance -Times
SNOWMOBILE RESTRICTIONS
NECESSARY
With the increasing use of
snowmobiles in this area, it has
come to the point where their
freedom,will have to be restri-
cted to certain age groups and
certain conditions.
To begin with, there are
few safety features on most of
the machines, and to let a
10 -year old run a 40 horse-
power snowmobile that is cap-
able of speeds in excess of those
of many cars, is pure lunacy.
Most snowmobilers would be
much better off if they joined
a club where they could learn
first hand, the capabilities find
limits of their machines. A
snowmobile is not a toy, it is
a powerful machine, quite
capable.of turning into a death
trap for those misusers. Clubs
also offer supervised snow recr-
eation, where an enthusiast can
sled on marked trails with
experienced guides.
And the now accepted habit
among many snowmobilers that
they can't seem to make it
snore. than 100 yards withow a
snort of something is a bad one.
Alcohol and cars has always been
a dangerous mixture, but alc-
ohol, snowmobiles and night .
are nearly a guaranteed recipe
for death or dismemberment.
If more snowmobilers used
their heads before they used the
accelerator, then snow mobiling
would be a more erjoyable pas-
time.

Letter to the editor
LETTER TO EDITOR
OPEN LETTER
TO THE CITIZENS OF BLYTH
A survey has begun in the
Blyth area to determine the need
for senior citizen housing. Que-
stionnaires have been forwarded
to those persons in the commu-
nity who are of an eligible age
many of whom are neither in
a position nor desirous of bec-
oming involved in such a venture.
Because a large percentage of our
senior citizens do not feel a
present personal need, it is con-
ceivable that the bulk of ques-
tionnaries will remain unans-
wered.
But what about those within
our society who, for various
reasons, would benefit from
senicc citizens housing?
Should we not consider those
persons who do have a need -
even though we ourselves are
quite contented living in our
present abode. The answer, of
course is yes. We should not
bast our decision to support
or not support this project on
our own personal needs, but,
rather, we should make every
attempt to improve the living
conditions and share in prov-
iding a little more comfort-
able life for the residents of our
community. In view of this,
1 believe that it is imperative
that we respond to the ques-
tionnaire - returning it as
quickly as possible. Only in
this way will the Ontario
Housing Corporation be prepared
to make an intelligent decision.
The younger members of our
community are also in a position
to lift up their voices in harmony,
on behalf of our elderly andless
fortunate citizens. It is true
that you will not be receiving
questionnaires, but . a brief
letter to the O.H.C. is certain
to weigh heavily in makine the
final decision..I would encoura-
ge everyone, regardless of age
including senior citizens to
take a few minutes now and write
a letter to Ontario Housing
Corporation, 101 Bloor Steet, W.
Toronto, Ontario if they wish
even if they have already filled
out and sent the questionnaire
indicating the urgent need for
senior citizens housing in our
community.
If a senior citizens home were
built in Blyth, the elderly of
this area could remain among
their relatives, they would be
able to retain their dignity,
independence and self-respect.
This is not a project solely
for the Village of Blyth, rather,
it includes the entire area.
Will you take ten minutes to
support this project? Your
letter does not need to be elab-
orate; nor does it need to be
lengthy. Simply commend the
Ontario Housing Corporation
on their concern for improving
living conditions for the elderly
and/or less fortunate for our
community and province.
Then suggest reasons for the
urgency of such a project in
the Blyth area. ' If we should
not aid the government in its
survey and the proposal is re-
jected, we have no one else
to fault but ourselves. It is
always easy to criticize
government agencies, but sel-
dom do we give them credit
for the projects they initiate
in our favour. This is our
opportunity to become directly
involved in the decision mak-
ing process, but if we don't
give this agency our support,
then we shall have absolutely
no recourse. So whether you
are a teenager or a senior
citizen, whether you have an
immediate need or not be
assured that there are a number
of persons in our community
who are depending on you for
support of this project. Please
take a few minutes to help
someone else, perhaps some-
one you don't even know. I
promise you that their gratit-
ude will be veryvisible
within our community.
I would further suggest that,
when you write your letter,
send a copy to our M.P.P. ,
Mr. Murray Gaunt, M.L.A.
for Huron -Bruce, Queen's
Park, Toronto, Ontario. This
will make him aware of the
high priority that we give to
this project. Thank you for
helping your community.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan. 16, 1974. PG.7.
County Council holds
first meeting of the year
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
ions in London, one council
member siad that it made sense
to tie county fire brigades to-
gether with a central dispatcher
as a similar disaster might occur
in Huron County.
Mr. Campbell said that most
fire trucks in the county would
be equipped with two-way radios
"before too long, within the
next three or four years."
Trucks equipped like this would
be able to respond to such an
emergency.
All county fire brigades, even
volunteer departments supported
by county grants, would be eli-
gible to participate Mr. Campbell
said in response to a question.
The advantage of this would
be to eliminate the possibility
of two fire departments answer-
ing a call from different people
turning in alarms for the same
fire, said Mr. Campbell.
Another council member sug-
gested that a professional disp-
atcher would know better how
to handle ap anicking person
who was calling in an alarm.
The dispatcher would get
information concerning the
location and seriousness of a
blaze correct. Fire brigades
would be sent to the right places.
Warden Elston summed up
the discussion saying that a study
into the feasibility of the central
dispatching system would not
be law, only a look at what
could be done and how much it
would cost.
In further debate about the .
Development committee's re-
port, council members asked
about wages set for the county
weed inspector at $3.75 an hour
plus 15 cents per mile and
tree commissioners receiving
$3.25 an hour plus 15 cents
per mile effective Jan. 1, 1974.
Mr. Campbell explained
the jobs of these county employ-
ees. He said the weed . ins
ectnr, who is available to a
cou,Tty municipal municipali-
ties, investigates complaints
about weeds and acts on them as
he sees fit.
However, all municipalities
who want to use the inspectors
services must pass an annual by-
law making his activities legal.
Tree commissioners approve
activities such as the bulldozing
of bushes.
Responding to a question about
why the weed inspector would
receive a larger wage than tree
commissioners, Mr. Campbell •
said that the inspector had more
responsibilities.
He told council that the ins-
pector had to handle poisonous
sprays and needed a licence to
do his job.
When council accepted the
Development Committee's re-
port it supported a resolution
from Perth County that stated
more conservation officers be
put on duty to enforce hunting

laws in the 32 townships in the
Wingham area.
At present, there are only
four. The resolution will be
passed on to Leo Burnier,
Ontario Minister of Natural
Resources. Council accepted
the report from the Executive
committee after little discus-
sion.
There were some questions
on changes to the Standing
Rules and Regulations, Part
11 -- Duties of Committees
Some councillors asked if
the Executive Committee
should be empowered to appoint
special committees without
council approval. The Exec-
utive Committee would be
albe to appoint members to
Standing Committees of Spec-
ial Committees in the event
of a member resigning or in
the case of a members death.
Cecil Desjardine, Executive.
Committee chairman, said
that his group did not want to
take that responsibility. Spec-
ial committees members rece-
ive extra pay, matters conce-
rning money should come before
the council as a whole.
The executive committee
also recommended to council
that a Special committee be
formed annually to review and
consider salaries of department
heads. The warden would be
chairman of this committee.
;n making salary recom-
mendations, the committee
would present its reports to
the council as a whole.
The report also called on
Huron county to support a resol-
ution from the County of Lanark
that the provincial and federal
governments guarantee adeq-
uate supplies of newsprint for
weekly newspapers. The reso-
lution states that weekly news-
papers are considered "an inte-
gral and essential pact of cul-
tural, business and municipal
affairs."
The final recommendation.
of the Executive Committee
carried by council stated that
amendments to motions must
be relevant and not in conflict
to the motions.

Expansion brings better service to farmers
Earl Long, Harry Winters,
Jack Van Bussel and Herb Ver-
beek, proprietors of Huron
Tractor Ltd. , are pleased to
announce the official opening
of their brand new John Deere
Service Centre in Blyth, the
first of its kind in' Ontario.
They and their staff extend a
cordial welcome to all to come
and visit them at their new
facility in Blyth to see first
hand, the many ways they are
prepared to service the farmers
of north Huron and area.
Earl Long, manager of the
Service Centre, said, "Over
the years we have always sold
equipment in the area but
only in the past couple of years
has the equipment population
increased to a point where it
became viable for us to invest
in a Service Centre.
"Also many farmers wishing
to purchase John Deere equip-
ment in the past, have hesit-
ated due to the distance from
their farms to Exeter.
"This Service Centre ..oncept
is nothing new even though this
is the first of its kind here in
Ontario" said Earl Long. There
are many of them in the United
States and at least eight in
Western Canada.
this new facility
and the staff
will provide
The Service Centre will be
operated much like a regular
dealership in so much as sales,
part, and shop service is con-
cerned. The only difference is
that we will not be maintaining
an outside inventory and display
of new and used equipment.
We will have a Parts Manager
and initially two servicemen.
A delivery vehicle will also
be operated to serve our many
customers in the Coderich,
Clinton, Seaforth, Brussels,
Blyth, Wingham and Lucknow
areas.
Sales will continue to be
handled out of our Exeter loc-
ation, but once you have pur-
chased John Deere equipment
from us, service will be pro-
vided at the more convenient
location - depending on whether
you are closer to Exeter or
Blyth.
We at Huron Tractor Ltd.
look forward to providing you
with even better service in
the future, and if you are
contemplating new or used
equipment, we urge you to
consider the fact that service
will now be available to you
at two locations.
SERVICE where and
when
you need it!

PG.12. THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan. 16, 1974.
.Ontario's first
Service Centre
opens at Blyth
Blyth, known for years now
as a village of unique business-
es because of its woollen and
leather factories, now has
another unique business.
Huron Tractor Ltd., of
Exeter and Blyth will hold the
official opening this week for
its new service centre in Blyth,
the only one of its kind in
Ontario.
"This Service Centre concept
is nothing new even though it
is the first of its Kind in Ontario"
says Earl Long, manager of the
new Blyth operation that will
service John Deere customers
in the northern and central
parts of the county. Mr.
Long says there are many such
centres in the United States
and at least eight in western
Canada. The concept is
slowly spreading east with
this first centre in Ontario and
another under construction in
Quebec.
The new Blyth facility is
located at the corner of High-
way 4 and County Road 25
at the south edge of Blyth.
It is nearly a year now since
officials from the Exeter bra-
nch of Huron Tractor Ltd. .
began seeking land in Blyth for
their new idea. They chose
Blyth because of its central
location for serving the area
of the county north of their
Exeter location.
"Over the years," said Mr.
Long, "we have always sold
equipment in this area but
only in the last couple of
years has the equipment pop-
ulation increased to a point
where it became viable for us
to invest in a service centre.
Also, there have been instances
where farmers have wanted to
purchase John Deere equipment
but hesitated because of the
distance they had to travel to
Exeter."
So, the decision to locate in
Blyth was made and land was
acquired from Sparling Propane
Co. which was making plans
of its own for expansion on:.a
new site south of the corner
lot it had occupied for some
years. Work on the new Centre
began last fall after Sparlings
had completed their move and
the Centre opened its doors
on Jan. 2.
The service centre concept
is much like a regular dealer-
ship except that there is no
outdoor inventory of new and
used equipment. Such inve-
ntories have become costly
in recent years because of the
increasing cost of machinery.
In addition, the scarcity
of new equipment in the last
year or more has. made it
hard to keep up a good inven-
tory. The Service Centre
concept also makes the new
building a mare welcome
addition to the village since
there will be no unsightly
rows of equipment outside
the buildings.
The new Service Centre
will have a parts manager,
Doug Cameron and two
service men, Alex Kiss
and Ron Purdon. Although
billed as a service centre,
area farmers will still be
able to purchase equipment
through the Blyth location
with sales staff on hand to

help them make an order,
Mr. Long says that though
the Blyth centre is based on
similar buildings throughout
the United States and west-
ern Canada, there are some
difference Huron Tractor
personnel visited several
Centres and decided they would
like to change some things in
the concept. As a result, the
Blyth Centre Is much more
pleasing in appearance than
most of the other Centres on
the continent. The parts and
sales area is carpeted through-
out and the walls are finished
in rich wood panelling. The
area is brightly lit to provide
a pleasant area for working .
and shopping.
The large service area is
also well lit to help service-
men and is well equipped.
The new centre will save
time for many area farmers,
Mr. Long explained. In the
past when a part broke on a
machine, often a very minor
part, it meant a trip to Exeter
for repairs and a longer period
of lost time. Now, however,
farmers will be able to get
almost instant service.

IgrIcuIturaI TIftIts'
WITH ADRIAN VOS
It seems that Mrs. Plumtree's
Food prices review Board at last
has knuckled under to the critics
of her board. So it appears to
me anyway.
Any business that has had a
loss in one year will try to make
up for this loss in subsequent
years and nobody will accuse
them of taking undue profits.
When it comes to the farmer
egg producer however, this
is branded as such by the Board.
And even if profit would be
reduced, it couldn't be very
much fcr the total profit is
only 4.37 cents a dozen.
According to Hensall's Bill
Mickle, a director of the
Egg Marketing Board, three
cents per dozen is needed to pay
off the debts and other business
losses from the last two bad
years.
What about it consumers,
are you too going to insist that
these farmers must stay under
their debt load for a measly
three cents per dozen of eggs
Or are you thinking rith me ,
that we are obliged to pay them
now for the eggs we bought
when they were subsidized by
the egg producer.
I have always had confidence
in the ability of the fa milt' farm
to compete with the large cor-
porate farm. The reason is
quite simple. If the cow is
about to have a calf or the sow
a litter of piggies and a man
is paid by the hour, there is
not too much incentive to go up .
in the night for a look of how
things are in the barn.
This lack of personal involve-
ment can be pointed out in al-
most every phase of food produc-
tion. Thus to be efficient
there have to be limitations on
the she of the operation. The
big companies with money to
burn decided to try it in the
U.S.A. To name a few:
S.S. Pierce Co. , CBK Agron-
omics, Inc., The Gulf and
Western Industries, Inc. , The
Gates Rubber Co. , Multiponics.
They couldn't justify it or their
share -holders and pulled out.
Others as Purex and Tenneco are
in the process of pulling out.
What is left will be changing
over into the contract business
where the farmer will provide
the work and the basic capital
and the partner working capital
and a share of the risk and the
profit. As an American
economist put it: "Who is
going to sit up with the cor-
porate sow at night."
Farmers warned about firm
The 'time has come around
again far doubtfull products to
be peddled to gullible farmers.
The Huron County Federation
of Agriculture issues a warning
to all farmers to beware of
claims of great savings to be
had by substituting new"wonder
products" for tested and proven
methods.

Vas, HFA vice-president it

eased last week by the Food
Prices Review Board," says
Gordon Hill, president, Ontario
Federation of Agriculture.
These errors stem from the
Board's reluctance to check the
accuracy of the report with
the Ontario Egg Producers'
Marketing Board, prior to re-
lease. "Such co-operation
would have omitted the errors
and avoided the report being
publicly discussed in an air
of conflict. Consumers should
resent a government agency
stirring up more confusion over
food prices."

"Before you sign on the

CAT AND MOUSE GAME
AND I'M THE MOUSE
This week I've been
batching it, and I must say
that I miss my wife. It's not
that 1 can't cook and wash
dishes and make the bed
and do all those othersilly
things that our poor wives
have to do day after day,
year after year.
No, there's no problem
there. It's the danged cats.
They're driving me out of
the remnants of what was
once a fine mind.
I'd rather live with a herd
of goats than with two cats,
I've concluded,
Take one elderly she -cat
who has been spayed. She
was quite content with life.
She is beautiful and very,
very distant, except when
she's hungry.
There isn't a bone in
her body that is friendly.
She just wants you to keep
your distance, feed her well,
and let her bask on a sunny
stair -tread, In return, she
will guarantee not to. make
a mess in the house. I had
just begun to tolerate her,
if not like her, after about
six years.
Now, add a boisterous
young tom cat. He's as agile
as an orang-outan, has an
appetite like a polar bear,
has the manners of a pig,
and is sickeningly friendly.
He has completely dis-
rupted what was a fairly
quiet, peaceful household.
He is driving the old -cat
out of her nut. He follows
her around, licking and
kissing her, until she spits,
takes a swipe at him and
makes him back off long
enough for her to skedaddle
to one of her hideouts. He
looks hurt.
All you have to do is
settle down with a newspaper
and a cup of tea, and he's
quite likely to come flying
through the air, sending the
paper one way and the tea
the other, as he seeks solace
for his yearning heart.
Given any encouragement
whatever, he'll climb all
over you, diggir, his claws
into your shoulders because
he doesn't know any better,
smooching your face and
neck in a wet, disgusting
fashion; before thumping
himself down for a rest on
your stomach or chest or
any other part of you that
suits his convenience.
Two 'minutes later, he
hears the "old cat sneaking
around, digs his claws into
your knee and takes a flying
leap, off to court her some
more.
There's absolutely no
sex involved, He just wants
to be loved by a second
mother, but she is a happy,
childless widow, and wants
to stay that way.
You can't even feed them
together, She is a dainty
eater. He eats like a wolf
who has just broken a long
fast. Put down two bowls.
He gulps his while she is
sniffing hers, then shoulders
her aside and gets into her
grub, while she bats him
ineffectually, then retreats
in disgust to sulk under a
bed.
She is a bed sneaker-
under, since he arrived.
And if there's anything
more difficult than getting
a determined old cat out
from under a bed, I'd like
to see it.
The only way to do it
is go under the bed after
her, with a broom or mop.
You wind up, puffing, stuck
under the bed, while she
has darted off and is under
one of the beds in one of
the other rooms. She's as
slippery as an eel and a
heck of a lot more cunning.
Meanwhile, during the
hale hour you chase the
old cat, trying to grab any
of ,her extremities so that
you can throw her out,
where she should have been
long ago, his arrogant young
nibs is having the run of
the kitchen.
He's not a bed sneaker-
under. He's a counter-
walket. And a cupboard -
door -opener. One leap and
he's up on the kitchen
counters, strolling, sniffing,
licking. Don't leave the
butter out. He'll down a
quarter -pound, straight.
Give him three minutes
alone and he's somehow
opened the cupboard door
below the sink and is gaily
into the garbage.
He'll eat anything: baked
potato skins, leftover soup,
stale lettuce, fried eggs,
The only time I have
seen him a bit nonplused
was on New Year's Day.
Maybe he had a hangover.
I was half•drowsing in a
chair, and watching him
out of a corner of my eye,

fn case he took a flying
leap and threw his arms
around my neck to kiss
me, which I abhor,
He'd caught a mouse, it
seemed, though we've never
had mice in this house. He
would slam his paw on it,
pick it up in his teeth,
chew it and swallow it. A
tiny mouse.
Thank goodness he's
good for something. Then
he'd throw up the mouse,
and go through the whole
business again. 1 got a bit
alarmed that he'd throw up
more than the mouse one
of these times, onto the
rug. I investigated.
He was trying to digest
one of those wide elastic
bands. Every time he hit
it, it would jump, so he
thought it was alive and
chewed it and swallowed
it, but couldn't keep it
down.
That's the kind of stupid
cat he is. But he's getting
smart very quickly. When
I try to grab him and throw
him out in the snow after 'a
feeding, he goes by me like
a cheetah going by a rhino-
cerous.
Sure wish my wife would
get home. It takes two of
us to handle the two of
them.
