At long last the little beast was stuffed and carefully hemstitchea — and so endeth Lesson One on how to clean a chicken. P.S. It was tough! Probably on pur- pose after the rough treatment it re- ceived, I'll’ bet. first chicken last Sun- I cleaned my day. Perhaps after almost ten years of housewifely toil in the holy bonds or | matrimony, I should be ashamed to make that statement — but there are times when women’s demands for equality with men can go a little too far. In the matter of cleaning fowl, taking down kitchen stove pipes, and Growning kittens, ’'m all for letting the “gweat big mans” do it! Another operation which took place Sundey was giving Mac, our Scottie, his annual spring hair-cut. This usual- ly turns out to be quite an ordeal, both for me ind Ma>. I think most of us have a hidden repressed desire to cut bair but for- tunately we can’t usually find victims to indulge the whim. Mac definitely objects to be a victim, but he has no choice. He gets his hair cut regardless. It was actually filthy lucre that caused me to start this annual clip- ping spree, not just represesd desires About cight years ago, it cost us the stupendous sum of $6.00 to have Mac's hair cut by a vet. I admit it was a lovely job and he looked every inch @ purebred Scottie when they 4vere through, but I decided enough was enough — and I would save $6 from now on. Apparently I haven't im- Proved with the years though, and Mac is likely to come out looking like anything from a wire-haired terrier to a daschund. The curious part is that he seems to know this, and after the operation is over, he can’t be coaxed out of the My aversion to cleaning chickens Probaby stems from a sight I experi- enced at the tender age of seven. Be- fore my fascinated gaze, our neighbor chopped the head off a chicken, and then to my horror, it ran headless around the yard for fully five minutes bumping into various objects, falling down and getting up until I begged the man to put it out of its misery. He laughed and assured me it was just “nerves” — that the gruesome thing was really dead. I never forgot it. But last Sunday I just didn’t have the heart to call Clive in from the back yard where he was earnestly digging at the start of what we fondly hope will be a lawn and flowers ‘this year — and after all, it was only a sMall chicken. Normally I buy chickens with their house.

So with scalpel — I mean, knife — neatly poised, I made a small two- inch incision. None of your huge un- sightly wounds for me, this was go- ing to be a neat job! But it soon be- came apparent that that which was inside was not going to come out of any two-inch aperture. Oh well, even the best surgeons have to make ex- ploratory operations, so the gash was widened somewhat. ! I plunged my hand into what ap-| peared to be the Black Hole of Cal- cutta (and about as enticing) and fastened onto large slimy rope-like “things” which gave up thé struggle Without much trouble. The gizzard and heart were a little more difficult, but were finally wrenched loose front their mooripgs along with sundry other gooey flotsam and jetsam. Everything appeared to be cleaned out, but I seemed to recall Mom speaking about getting something out of the neck. I peered into my cavity, Hint th She see was a look at that!

After several vigorous yanks, this too gave way so I figured “well, that’s that” — and felt quite pleased with myself So on to the stuffing. Carefully loos- ening the skin aound the neck, I at- tempted to push some of the stuffing into what should have been a cavity. But this chicken appeared to have no cavity — or else it was well filled with Two interesting cancer films were liso shown, followed by a short talk by Dr. L.
