Vi/liile they weic looking for nuts, along tdllle singing Rabbit who thought he would stop and visit with Elizabeth and Chipmunk. So the three of them were having. l fine time in the Forest, and Eliz-g lbetli was filling her pockets with‘ all the nuts she could find. ‘ ' through the under- . ge moose appeared. What a hi; fellow lie was! His antlers expanded almost six feet and he tmd evidently been run- ning a. long way, He was ex- tremely diznified. He paused to rest. and lie told Elizabeth, Chip-i munk and Singing Rabbit iiow thei wolves had chased him for miles‘ and miles, before he could lhake them off. A moose is an excellent swimmer and light-footed so hei had felt Safer ivhen he came to‘ swampy land near the river. There , he had evaded the ivolves and he. swam across the river to this side of the Forest. I “They are a wicked pack andi wild at this time of the year," the! Moose told them, liis kindly eyes‘ resting on Elizabeth. l "You shoziidirt stay here," he, told her, "The wolves may be oni this side of the Forcstbcfore long, and they won't be kind to a little‘ girl like you." "So Elizabeth, Singing Rabbit and Chipmunk started to leave im- mcdiateiy. because none of them had any desire lo meet the wolves. , But thBy were too late! The sun, shone into a little clearing ini the woods and Elizabeth sudden- ly saw a big grey wolf standing in the centre, looking about him and sniffing the air. Perhaps he was looking for the Moose, who knows? Singing Elizabeth: _ “You had better run an fast as you can and we will stop him from following you." So, although she was very much afraid for hcr friend, Singing Rab. bit, Elizabeth ran out of the Forest and never stopped until she got 11011.0. But in the Forest singing Rabbit and Chipmunk were left facing the Rabbit whispered to i when he saw who wolf and they were really fright- ened. As Elizabeth left them, the wolf \\'<“\liI(‘Cl stcaithily up to where little Singing Rabbit sat waiting for hiiii. Chipmunk had covered himself with leaves and hid behind a tree , where he could watch what took plHPE. It was all he rould do to lvccp his tcciii from t-iiattcring. Singing Rabbit's breath was thumping so hard that he could barely get his breath, but, as the wolf appeazcd, lie began to sing as gang: as he could. The Wolf stopped in amazement was singing. Never had lie seen a rabbit who could sin: before. He thought to himself: ‘flow dziie this rabbit sit there Singing instead of running away from me?‘ Then Singing Rabbit began to sing- ‘Oh. Mister Wolf, how 1 should like to be like you, so hand- some, strong and brave, That everybody in the Forest in afraid of you. You are the Ruler of the woods. and that is why I sing to you, Ycs, that is why I sing to you," "Well," asked the Wolf, "aren't you afraid that Ill eat you up?“ “Oh, yes. I am afraid," said the Singing Rabbit, “but I wouldn't taste vcry good, I'm surc." And he began to hop about and cry. “We'll see about that." said the cruel Wolf and he jumped on poor little Singing Rabbit‘ who would never sing any more. When Chipmunk came out of the Forest, he was crying so hard that Elizabeth heard him and came running. He told her how the Wolf had killed Singing Rab- bit and how brave he had been. Chipmunk then crawled into his new house, pulled his tail over his eyes and went to sleep for weeks and weeks. But Elizabeth told her father what had happened. So her father and her brother loaded their guns and went out into the Forest, where they shot the cruel wolf. And so the Singing Rabbit was avenged. Elizabeth never forgot her good friend who had saved her life, and even when she grew up to be a big girl, slie always sang the sing- ing Rabbit's favourite song which he had first sung for her so long ago. QUICKIES By Ken Reynolds like your sore thumb!" . i "Look cit our Guardian Wont Ad, Alvin-if stands our just ' (Continued from Page I) has not improved. Lieaiuo rov- enues are derived from two nour- ces, the Christmas Seal Sale and what is collected at the Unit for X-rays. The latter lource 1| not nearly sufficient to pay for tho cost of the picturel. and it is necessary to use Seal Sale pro- ceeds to carry the Unit ac well as to maintain the office. A: well this year, it was necessary to pur- chase a new car for the organ- izational work done by Mr. Jar- dine. “We have not been able to lot up a depreciation fund for the replacement of our equipment as, wear takes its toll. While on the subject of finances generally, l‘. would like to correct an im- pression. which is abroad in vari- ous parts of the Island. The X- Ray Unit. was provided and pur- chased with funds contributed by the public through the purchase of Christmas Seals, and is sup- ported, maintained. kept in op- eration and staffed entirely and exclusively by the public purchase of Seals and by such amounts as are collected as an X-Ray charge. Although the League works in close cooperation with the Sani- torium it is not in any way eon- nectect with the Department of Public Health, nor does it re- ceive any grant or subsidy. "Due to ovcr crowded condi- tions iit the Sanitarium where we formerly occupied office space we were requested to obtain other ac- comrnodations and found haven in the hall maintained by the Cath- olic Womeirs League on Rich- mond Street. Rural Survey "Our prcscnt season's opera- tions with the Unit are now just about completed. at least in so far as the rural survey is con- cerncd. The Unit comiricnccd op- erations on or about May 5th in Souris arid worked its svay to the West end of the island. We found most satisfactorily. It has enabled us to make a great many more stops, generally two or three a day, with the result, I believe, that“ we were able to visit a greater number of communities than heretofore and work within a mucti smaller radius. "We have covered the Island more thoroughly than last year, although the number of pictures iakcn are considerably less than previously. This fact is partly ex- plained by an attitude which we have frequently encountered, that is to say, that an X-Ray is ana- logous to a vaccination. A great miiny people secin to have the conception that an X-ray is an as- surance against‘ tubercular in- fection for some time to come, and consequently with an X-Ray taken last year there is no nec- essity for another this yedr. "We have also cooperated with Dr. Creelman in doing contact work throughout the Island. "As for the plans for the forth- coming season, it might be said that the initial steps are well be- gun in preparing for the Seal Sale. As well, the personal solicitation ‘ lists for Charlottetown are being revised by the local Gyro Club who will again undertake the work. It is expected that the collection will thereby be materially in- creased. Much the same is being done in Summerside by the Y's Men's Club. The Summerside re- turns last year were somewhat of a disappointment owing to a misunderstanding oi.’ the situation between our office and the West- ern groups, but we have every ex- pectation this year that the Prince County Capital will excell itself as is its practice. It is anticl- pated that the Unit will move shortly to Summerside for a stand in that centre and later back to Charlottetown for a local survey. "These matters, however, are in the field of the incoming Execu- tive.
