amused the other evening to read ah item in the paper about the troubles up waterloo way they are having with rats the rats were moving ir- on enos martin lean rats fat rats tawny rats and very nervy rats with eyes that glared in the gloom of the barns dark corners and challenged all comers it was getting they would eat the hogs rations and the cows supplements and if something wasnt done there was danger they would eat the pigs and milk the cows mr martin hadnt a eat on the place he triad all the likeliest farms around rri elmira but no one had a cat to spare then he advertised the advertisement started all kinds of guessing what did mr martin want with grown cats did he like cats so much he couldnt get enough of them v or as one joker suggested was he in the restaurant business max becker of kitchener was first to respond max had even more cats than farms so he sent enos martin a postcard telling him he could come and fetch some mr martin asked wilf tour elmira hog trucker to call in at the waterworks farm and see what max had wilf came back to martins with three cats enos put them in a chicken crate so they wouldnt run back to kitchener manassah gingrich near elmira was next to notify enos who went over and fetched home five more cats these too went into a crate until they could get used to the idea of a new home next came vernon clemmer of floradale who brought over two more here were cats not two miles away but enos hadnt thought to try clemmers before he advertised ten cats and twice that many rats now occupied the shadows of the big barn at enos martins ten pair of glassy eyes terrified the cats for a few clays but they found that at least five of the cats ven tured down from the rafters only at night this left the coast com paratively free for rats during the daylight hours however the first five cats lost some of their wild- ness and began to make life miser able for the rodents scarboro business says council biased the scarboro businessmensfact finding committee have issue a report favoring amalgamation with toronto despite noisy protests of reeve crocklord and his council lors copies of the report were dis tributed throughout the public meeting and was read by r sin clair of the allischalmers com pany who acted as chairman of the committee in the conclusion of the report it was stated that any decision regard ing amalgamation should be based on a careful estimate of the pro bable effect of the proposal adding up the advantages to be gained and setting them beside the draw backs involved the report fur ther stated that scarboro township officials had apparently not em ployed this technique and that the submission made to the provincial government was definitely biased the report dealt largely with taxes to homeowners and educa tion as the committee felt that these two subjects were being dis cussed more widely than any other aspects of amalgamation two hypothetical cases one dealing with properties in scarboro and toronto valued at 3000 and the other with properties in this town ship and in the city valued at 5- 000 were compared as to tax costs and showed that in both cases tor onto properties had lower taxes than scarboro moosqoooaoooooqot monthly service in stouffvillo and district income tax annual statements gerald e hatton and associates accountants and auditors reasonable rates b48a

was worse than all the baits the farmer had put out for them he had tried several brands of rat i catcher but these elmira rats were smart fellows and knew all the i baits from friends of theirs on nearby farms they even knew how to eat the edible portion of a bait and leave the poison undis- j titrbed but these cats these horrible barn cats slinking in the rafters or behind feed bins and up i on boxes and shelves these cats were strictly from hunger and thats how enos martin saw the cats remained strictly from hunger except for a dish of milk at milking time he didnt believe in starving cats for they couldnt do their best hunting with starva tion gnawing their inards but an edge of appetite kept them on their wellnailed toes and hard at the job assigned to them nearly three weeks have passed since mr martin advertised and now the pied piper of hamelin would have difficulty stirring up a creditable parade on the martin farm some rats have gone clown the little red lanes of the 10 cats stomachs some have been badly mauled and left for burial some seeing the handwriting on- the whitewashed walls took the hint and left for happier hunting grounds no one has appreciated their going more than trixie the little terrier with her twoweekold litter in a secluded corner near the horse stalls they were bigger than her pups and she breathed easier with their going the terrier was in the proverbial doghouse herself for one thing she knew mr martin was not pleased with her he had expected her to have a litter for fullblooded terriers but apparently she had let herself be carried away by moon light or fear of rats for the daddy of her five pups was one of martins big collies woooooflooqqoooool f g alsop life auto fire sickness and accident insurance phone 50w2 taxi service

girlhood experience they will wish that they might again take off their shoes and stockings and feel the soft cushion of the grass on the soles of their feet and between their toes in an earlier day children of the farms and villages went barefoot and it wasnt just because families couldnt afford shoes though in some instances this was true it was rather that children just wouldnt put up with their feet en closed in wool and leather when they could scamper about in their bare feet going barefoot had its disadvant ages one was fortunate to pass the summer without getting a toe so badly bruised the toe nail would fall off but except for a tempor ary pain that was no matter the nail would grow on again also there were thistles and the coarse stubble to hurt the feet but by autumn the soles were so calloused it took a tough thistle to penetrate one always associates barefoot boyhoorl with carefree days and there was an association true one had to keep an eye out for stones or sticks which might bruise but that was done almost unconscious ly and minor hurts didnt hurt much or long anyway spring opening cedar beach gardens musselmans lake saturday april 29 van walker and his
