ice fields over frozen seas 20 miles from the nearest land. Gray squirrels warn each oth-

er of danger with a rasping bark. which can be heard for almost one quarter of a mile in calm wea- ther. ,

The red squirrel has more vices than an alley dog has fleas. He is quarrelsome. noisy. and forever poking his nose into other crea- tures affairs. When this scribe was a boy red squirrels were numerous in this province and I spent many hours observing their

petty thievery and mischievious ranks. Many's the robin's egg 1 saw

When i used to snare hares "down on the farm" I always on- joyed the company of the little red chatterboxes who never fail- ed to greet me each morning with a volley of exclamations from the tree tops. Or maybe they just scolded me because l hadn‘t brought along more oats and bread crusts for their tummies.

have watched them tapping the sugar maples and drinking the juice.

Savage Harbour and . . . Vicinity Two cars collided at MarLend~ Corner. Mt. Stewar.t on Saturdai night. None of the occupants of the cars were seriously hurt. but both vehicles suffered considerable

damage. The R..C.M.P. were calico to the scene.

The monthly meeting of Savage Harbour Women's Institute was held at the home of Mrs. Cyril Morrison with the president Mrs. Ernie Doyle presiding. Roll call was answered by donating some article later to be auctioned before the meeting. Mrs. Clarence Murphy accepted the roll of auctioneer and handled it in a most commenda- ble manner. After considerable dis- cussion on the matter of clean- ing the school it was decided that in future all women of the district having children attending 5Ch0OJ would be asked to take their turn in scrubbing the school. The ever- prcsent question of funds and how to raise them was earnestly dis- cussed and although nothing was finalized yet the idea of holding a pantry sale in one of the Mt Stewart stores is being seriously

considered. The following com- mittees were appointed: sick, Mrs. Temple Murphy. Mrs. Clar-

ence Murphy; scliool_ Mrs. Valen- tine Maclntyre, Mrs. Fred Masher; lunch. Mrs. James MacKay and Mrs. Cyril Morrison. The next meet- lng will be held at the hdme 01 Mrs. Temple Murphy whcn roll call will be answered by "where I first met my husband."
