LITTLE JOE GOES LOOKING

Suspicion you will always find I lurking in I Jealous mind. . -Old Mother Nature.

Little Joe Otter had been away from home for some time. When he returned he had expected to find Mrs. Joe there. but she wasn't. There was nobody home. He guess ed, she was probably out fishing.

whole day and night and she hadn't returned he began to wonder. Per haps she had gone on a long trip just as he had. It so he was sure she would return after a while. Of course something could have hap pened to her. but he didn't worry about that. She was quite able to take care of herself and he knew it

But after several days had pas sed with no sign of Mrs. Joe he be gan to really wonder. Could some thing have happened to her? Could it be that she wasn't coming back? He began to look about for signs that other Otters had been in that neigliborliood while he was away. Could it be that she had gone off with one and deserted her home? At that thought Little Joe began to be Jealous. However. he found no signs that there had been any visitors while he was away. He felt sure that if Mrs. Joe had gone off she had gone off alone. Why hadn't she come back? What was keeping her?

Little Joe visited the pond of Pad

he had seen Mrs. Joe. Paddy had not he was happy to say. Paddy doesn't like to have the Otter folk as close neghbors. Little Joe went farther up Laughing Brook, still deeper in to the Green Forest. He

had been a long rain that had melt- ed nearly all the snow. so there were no foot prints that he could follow. Neither was there any scent. It had all been washed away. There were one or two other bank dens

that Little Joe knew of. He visited these. They were empty. but there was a faint scent in one of them that told him Mrs. Joe had been there. However. it was such a faint scent that he knew it was several days since she had been there. He remembered a certain big tree that was hollow at the base. He and Mrs. Joe had once thought of niaklng their home there. He would go look at that. He did. He found it empty. But again, he knew that Mrs. Joe had been there.

What did this iiicaii" Was Mrs. Joe looking for a new hoine? Could it be that she had left him? He became more jealous than ever be cause he was sure that she wouldn't make a new home all alone.

He kept going back to the home den to see if she had returned. Each time it was with .'i very real sense of disappointment that he found she hadn't. Then he would start out looking again.

Little Joe Otter was really get ting worried now. He didn't stop to play anywhere You knnvt, of all the people in the Green Forest the Otter folk are the most play mi. The play games. They play tag you're it. They play hide and seek. They wrestle with each other. As everybody knows they build slipperyslldes and have no end of fun sliding down these. Little Joe wasn't looking for fun now. He was looking for Mrs. Joe and getting more and more worried because he couldn't find her. He couldn't think of anything that could have happened to her, yet he felt that something must have happened to her. Perhaps she had been caught in a dreadful trap. He hadn't found any traps along Laughing Brook, but that didn't mean that there were none. Where was Mrs. Joe?

Many steps may be saved if cab- inets for things in constant use are near the stove and sink. It is with this in mind that these spacc-sav- ers were planned. They are design- ed to fit common sizes of pots and pans and the usual containers for seasonings. Some are on the shelv- es and others are fitted to cabinet doors. The length dimensions are variable to fit space in your kitchen. The shelf racks may be arranged in different ways as need- ed. They may be made of scraps as pieces are all small. The pull- out pan rack is on rollers. The terraced dish rack gives easy ac- cess to everything. Pattern 413 is 35 cents.

A motorist told police of a horse that resented his T rseless carri- age. Johnnli Merting said he was driving along when a horse ran out of a field and jumped on the hood of his car He smashed the windshield and damaged the hood. a fender and the radio antenna. Marting suffered a cut that requir- ed five stiches. The horse, he said ran ack into the field.

A our-year-old Elmwood district girl of Manitoba is well on the road to recovery after a ride in an el- ectric clothes-drying machine. The youngster crawled inside the mach- ine and shut the door. Instantly the automatic gadget went into act- ion and that was that. She was rescued 1A an hour later by her parents who heard her screams.

A striking demonstration of how New Canadians can benefit Canada was afforded by the late Dr. Art- hur Haas: of West Lorne, Ontario. He came to this country at the time Hitler was over-running Eur- ope. Here he built a successful business. At his death he left a tidy sum of money to provide bur- saries for medical students at the University of Western Ontario who need financial assistance.

This is an example that might well be followed by native-born as well as New Canadians. It is more impressive to give money for es- tablishing a new building, but ad. vancement of science and learning generally depends on students and instructors. They are the ones who carry the torch, and buildings while important. are secondary.

Folks who always manage to keep busy seem to have the least had luck.
