Pooh! Pooh! On

- Prince Atree has a supreme con-
tempt for the C.N.R.—for it’s offi-
cials, it’s engines and all concerned
in the system. Prince dlso has no
use for Saturday nights, Then he
has to stick around for the extra
hour: while owner Alf continues to

) supply the folks with meat.

So, last Saturday, around six in
the evening, being thoroughly dis-
gusted with affairs, he trotted down
to the tracks near the Kalum street
crossing and selected'a nice comfort-
able spot between the rails, “At any
rate,” seemed to be his idea, “ A fel-
low may as well have a sleep while
waiting.”

Six-twenty, and, from the east,

_|came the whistle of the engine.

Prince never batted an eye. .

A minute or two and the headlight
glared around the bend 2s the train
came into the station.

“Darn the light, was the attitude;
“What's the idea of disturbing me.”

But still no move.

The engineer saw a black object
between the rails.

series of toots—still no result.

‘So as the engine slowed down to
stop, the cow-catcher passed over a
short-haired black dog.

That was too much. Prince rose
to his feet as the glare of the fire box
With an attitude
of disgust he trotted out from be-
tween the revolving wheels and head-
ed for quieter parts, where a waiting
dog could rest in peace.

a very fine rendition of the story of

Tomb. Special music was provided
under the leadership of Mrs, A.
Munro, including a trio by Misses A.
Longworth, Lillian Christy and Lor-
vaine Kenney, and a duet by Mrs,

Mayor Holidays

Taking a well-earned holiday,
Mine Host Gordon Temple left for
Lakelse lake on Monday morning,
and he plans to spend the whole
week as the guest of Tommy Coliver,

Gordon deserves the change, What
with the onerous duties of acting as
Hizzoner The Mayor, scheming night
and day while the flood conditions
were on to bring in food and some
liquid refreshment for the citizens,
and generally taking an active part
in the accommodation of the travel-
ling public, he is feeling a little tired.

Interviewed by the News before
he left, he said: “I'm going to rest.
Get that! Hf the fish want to be
caught they'll have to come right

‘through the front door of the cabin,

The same goes for the wild fowl.”

Reports are expected to arrive
from time to time as.to the progress
of the trip, and his many friends are
hoping he’ll come back filled up with
the old pep.

eel
| Bert Swain is clearing a group of
lots across from the south-east cor-
ner of the ball park. While there is
no definite pronouncement made as
to the use of the property there is
a general suspicion that a new house

be living within the town limits.
Dudley, Little is another who has
clearing under way at present. He is
busy getting the brush off the lots
immediately west of the Dover home.
