CASTOR REVIEW This time, I thought I'd tell you about my cat, Butch. I wasn't goin' to give the ornery little cuss that much credit but I got a request from one of the readers. I got a lot of different requests from other readers but I'm goin' to keep writin' my column anyway. Butch. Nasty, mean, cantankerous ol' Butch. Just what can I say about that cat that hasn't been said better by angry neighbors. He's a big, orange tom-cat with that thick fur that's always gettin' all knotted up. The only way to get rid of the knots is to take him to the vet and have him shaved. Butch is so big you could throw a saddle on him. Fact, I did that once when we were snowed in. Rode him right into town. Course, my feet were draggin' and he was out of breath when we got there, but we made it. He didn't like it too much, though, when I tried to hang a feed bag around his head. \_ Doss? Butch just ignores Castor Earl Good ol' Butch them. We had to look after this fidgety little Spaniel for the neighbours once. It was in the winter and we put her down in the basement to sleep with Butch. The ol' cat likes it down there because we have a big converted coal furnace and he snuggles up real close to it. Fact, he gets right inside it through the air vent and sleeps between the liner and the fire box. Well, this dog decides she's goin' to show Butch who's boss even though he's bigger then she is. So she starts yappin' and chasin' him around the base- ment. Butch runs for awhile just to humor her then stops dead in his tracks, turns around, and gives her a look that could stop a runaway train. That was that. Butch didn't even have to use those switch-blades he keeps at the end of his feet. All it took was the evil eye. Just to make sure that Spaniel knew her place, Butch took over her bed and wouldn't let her back into it for the two weeks we kept her. Cars? Butch loves them. Well, he's not so fussy about them anymore since the time we were drivin' home in the jalopy and I stopped at the gate to get the mail. I let the dang cat out to walk up to the house but for some reason he decided to take a look under the car. When I set out again, I ran over his tail. Boy oh boy, was that cat mad. He let out one loud squawk and when I stopped the car he marched right up to it and took a swipe at the tire that did the runnin' over. He punctured the dang-busted thing and sat there smirkin' while I changed it. For weeks, he wouldn't give me the time of day. Of course, he doesn't have a watch anyway. When Butch is in a good mood -- it happens once in a blue moon -- he can be playful. Just last week, the two of us were playin' peek-a-boo at the barn with me stickin' my face between the boards and him tryin' to swipe me with his paw. I was dodgin' him pretty good until he landed one that tore a chunk off my nose. Sure was fun.

James Paul The world is full of diets for the overweight. There are low calor- ie diets, carbohydrate diets, fish and fruit diets, but did you know that there is a Divine Diet? In Matthew 4:4, Jesus tells of a Divine Diet that is suited for everyone, male or female, fat or tall, big or small.

Herein lies the two-fold secret. First, mankind must realize that our Creator never intended for us to eat bread only, and for us to do so is suicide. Jesus clearly states that real life cannot be sustained if we digest only physical food. We can have the best of eating habits and look the picture of health, but if we solely live on this world's produce, we forfeit the blessing of real life. The second aspect of Jesus' failproof Divine Diet reveals the kind of food which can only give man complete nourishment. Our Lord promises that man shall live, and live eternally, if he feeds his spirit on the Word of God. Anyone who denies his spirit on the Word of God. Anyone who denies his spirit this irreplace- able food, and lives only for his body and this material world, denies himself the joy of real life. If you are looking for a diet which will bring eternal life to your weary, heavy ladened body, follow the Manufacturer's direct- ions and feed on His every word.
