SPOOKY GOES TO TOWN Mtiiing ventured. noting gained A sayig trite and very old.

Not to the timid goes the orize But to the daring and the bold. .. sold Mother Nature.

Spooky the Screech Owl is I small person. He is much smaller than he seems. He wears a rather loose coat which: makes him look bigger than he is. Sometimes he wears a red coat and sometimes he wears a EIf3.V 0031- SPOOKY ll plucky. He doesn't like the idea of going down toithe Sunny South as so many other birds do when wint or comes. He is an independent little chap and sure that he can take care of hi " and get enough to eat despite Rough Brother North Wind and Jack Frost.

Now Spooky is a great hunter of time. He knows all about Danny iicadow Mouse and his ways. He l-iinws all about Whitefoot the Wood ilniise. and where and when to lnok for him. He knows all about other members of the Mouse fam ilv. A successful hunter must know all about those he hunts.

Spooky knew that with the com ing of the cold weather many Mice leave the fields and the woods and move over around and in farm buildings. So Spooky has 'earned that often the best hunting is around the homes of Man. As a matter of fact, Spooky was living in I hollow tree in the Old Orchard near the edge of Farmer Brown's rlnoryard. Spooky had caught many Mice around Farmer Brown's barn and the hcnhouses and other build irigs. lie had caught so many this season that few were left. Now he was having hard hunting. He was going illlnlZi')' more often than he had a full stomach. So it was that Spooky decided he would have to do some hunting elsewhere.

There wasn't much use in going over to the Green Forest. for there. hls big cousin. Hooty the Great Horned Owl, and his other big cousin from the far north. Whitey the Snowy Owl. were constantly liiinting. Sn Spooky decided that

was to stay near the buildings of Man. Now it was only a short dis tance from Farmer Brown's far to the village. There many build tags were near together and there should be good hunting. So Spooky went to toivn.

Of course the first thing he did was to look for a place to stay. He visited every big tree in the village. but in none could he find a hollow big enough for him to live in. It was disappointing. Spooky

is one of those feathered folk who

like to live in a house and not in an open tree. He likes a hollow in a tree. It doesn't have to be I big hollow. A big Woodpecker house suits him first rate. But there were no big Woodpecker houses in the village trees. Spooky didn't want to go back to Farmer Brown's Old Orchard. Not yet anyway. He was sure there must be good hunt ing around the village.

He was flying over a house when he noticed a chimney that had an opening close to the top, in fact. it had an opening on each of the four sides right at the top. The top itself was covered. Spooky lighted

in one of these openings to rest

awhile. Then he got curious and began to investigate. it was very comfortable there. Perhaps he could live in there comfortably.

Anyway it was worth investigating.

Burton Foresees Trend To Night Shopping In Future

By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO lCPt-Night shop-

ping is the trend of the future. says E.G. Burton. president of Simpsoiis Limited. adding the many cities which bar such activ- ity are harboring "antiquated" store-hour laws. -

"One or two evenings a week for shopping is almost a must in many of the outlying. shopping cen- tres wliicii are being developed at the present time," the head of the Iii: dcpariiiiont store and mail- nrdrr business told the Gordon economic cuminission today.

"Yet in many places these pro- gressive retailers are prevented by this outmoded legislation from giv- ing the people what they want."

But despite the current curbl. "we are going to see evening shopping becoming the custom in more and more cities in the years ahead!

The veteran retailer, looking to the future. could see Canadians earning more money and spend- in: more on goods previously con- si cred luxury items.

Emphasis in the future will be on self-service stores. More sub- urhan shopping centres. higher sales of labor-saving devices and an expansion in the business of servicing appliances and gadgets.

Downtown department .atorea will still be important commer- cially but their growth will be slowed as more Canadians move to the suburb! and do their shop- ping in local centres.

While Mr. Burton could see these trends ahead. there were a few hrcsent-day problems that con- rerncd him. too.

He was concerned over bank ti-edit restrictions. predicting that those who extend consumer credit icon will probably find it morl difficult and more expensive to pmvlde financing.

necessary to make sure consumer credit doesn't rise unreasonably is the good judgment of persons granting such credit and the availability of funds.

He felt also the law against the predetcrmining of retail prices by manufacturers should be removed. With current keen competition among manufacturers and re- tailers. the resale price main- tenance ban was unnecessary. he said.

Simpson: found that despite the farm-to-clty trend in population shifts. mail order business was increasing. and this was having a strong levelling influence on can- sumer prices from coast to coast.

Strange But True I: F. Ii. Maclit-thur

Mail and iapeclal cargo may zoom across country from New York City to San Francisco in an hour or less in rockets within a fewlyeara. Harry F. Gugg ” ' of New York City. spoke very mat- ter of factly about such a possibil- ity at a meeting oftthe American Rocket Society.

Guggenheim was given an hon- orary membershlp in the society in recognition of his leadership in the development of aviation and of roc- ket and jet-propelled aircraft. The expert based his prediction of send- ing mail by rocket on the marked difference in the cost. "The new jet planes will have to compete with rockets which will attain speeds of 5,000 miles an hour or better,' ' explained Guggenheim. "The cost of operation and con- struction of jet planes for hauling mall and special cargo will be prohibitive compared to that of the rocket.'

"In an airplane you have to pay for the cost of fuel for each mile across country. whereas by rocket you only have to pay for the coat of fuel for a distance of about 00 miles." Guggenheim tdden.

He explained that a rocket uses fuel as it gains flight altitude and also as it decelerates before land- ing. That includes about 60 miles up and 30 miles down. During the rest of the 5.000-mile trip. the rock- et coasu along in the ionosphere without using fuel.

Pennies are scarce-so scarce that two United States mints are devot- ing all their time to making one- cent pieces. And they have been at it for two months. New England banks have sp few pennies that some of them are offering 51.05 for every 100 pennies brought in. In most areas where there is a short- age the federal reserve banks have had to ration pennies to memb banks.

During the first 10 months of i954 the mints delivered 150,000,000 pen- nies to the 12 federaiircserve banks. During the same time in l955 they delivered 900.000.000. Several reas- ons have been advanced for the penny shortage, and all contribute to the scarcity-more spending. sal- es taxes. piggy banks, and parking meters. ,

A would-be thief forced his way into Mrs. Adrian Bonds home at Oliver Station. Ind. l-ie relented, however. after finding that the 00- year-old woman had only a few pen- nies in her purse. if you're that poor, I don't want your money.' he told her.
