Winter is on its way. z Yep, the squirrels, after about five years of exile, have managed to chew their way back into the attic, and are happily holding their reg- ular family quarrels, wakes, weddings, bowling games and foot-races right over- head. There probably aren't more than three or four hundred of them, to judge from the commotion. And I’m helpless. Once they get in, you might as well wait until spring, when they emerge and you can whack up some tin patches over their entries. T like to have black squir- rels around the place, but not in the place. They're cute and picturesque hopping about on the lawn, picking up ‘acorns in their dainty mitts and swivelling their little bright, beady eyes about as they chew. But when you can’t see them, and all you can do is hear, they're not so cute. The only picture of them I have in winter is of a couple of young buck squirrels gnawing away on the insula- Dealer for PIONEER CHAIN SAWS — Good Stock of Parts on Hand — Terry Biccum, New Denver Monashee Sporting Eqt.

And no central heating except our own. And down to an acorn a day by February. This is great. Lots of room for jog- . ging to keep in shape. Lots of heat. And — mmmmm — I love that electrician's tape." They remind me of a rat who took over nocturnally in our room in prison camp bar- racks in the winter of °44-45. One single, lousy rat had eighteen grown meninastate of nightly alarums and excur- sions. } At first, he'd wake. some- body up with his gnawing. [t was a cross between the sound of achain saw and that of a snowmobile. It was a welcome diver- sion, in the beginning. Sort ofcompany, as though some- cared. We named him Packy and talked about him rather fondly. For a while. - ~~ But’ then the-nerves started to wear thin. There's something nerve-wracking about a huge rat chomping away right in your ear, as it seemed. It got to the point where ‘nobody could go to sleep. We'd te there, nerves strum- ming, waiting for Packy’s evening performance to begin, each of us clutching a weapon, a boot or a bed- joard. The little devil seemed to know that he had us right Large Quantities Of Water Released By Evaporation According to the de- partment of agriculture, 1 acre of grass will release 2,400 gallons of water on a summer's day through ev- aporation and transpiration. This provides the cool- ing effect of a 70-ton air- conditioner, For RUBBER STAMPS See the CASTLEGAR NEWS KINNAIRD VOTERS RE-ELECT STEVE JANKOLA where he wanted us. One night he'd start right after lights-out, and suddenly stop, just when we thought we'd located him. Next night, he'd lie there chuckling - and we'd have sworn we could hear the chuckle - keeping us in sus- * pense until it was almost unbearable. Then he'd give a couple of zrooms. And stop. Ina few minutes he'd start again, gnawing steadily and contemptuously. At last, somebody's nerves would break, there'd be the flare of a match and eighteen of us would leap out of our bunks, flailing at the spot we were sure he was in. He never was, and it’s a wonder somebody wasn't killed in the confusion. Because we all had a differ- ent spot. Well, that’s enough about squirrels and rats. But I know exactly why people use the term “‘squirrelly” as a synonym for being a bit mental. - The other manifestation of winter horrors, 1 .n Ke tioned’ was’ our Cat. In summer, she’s lean and tawny, a tigress prowling her domain, stalking bumblebees and butterflies and birds. And she's outside, day and night. A lovely cat. , As soon as the first wind comes out of the north, she turns into Mr. Hyde. She hangs on the screen door, howling pitiably. She has tuined three screen doors. Does she want love, . affection, admiration? No: She wants in, And once in, she wants grub. I have never kicked an animal, but when that pig of a cat lurches. in like a hyena scenting a fresh » killand starts rubbing against my legs when I'm trying to rattle up some breakfast for myself, there's a grave temp- tation to turf her right into the kitchen sink. She's an untlovely cat. Fat and de- . manding, like some wives. And she thinks I’m her hus- band. j i pparently my, un-love affair with cats has been mentioned before, because { have here a letter to the Lis- towel Banner from Rita Dodkin, 11. I'll quote parts. “Cats are very useful in many different ways than ‘putting them ona calendar’. They provide lots of com- pany for old and lonely people who canngthiave dogs cause they can’t give them the right exercise. They pamper and pet. their cats because they enjoy it.” .. “T think this is far fro turning them into ‘bloated, | . contemptuous parasites’ as Mr. smiley said. They look so sweet when they sleep on your best chair. When they ° rub your legs I think they.are trying to show love, Our cats always tried to show love. I used to have one but now I'm getting one next spring.” Rita, you might get one tong before next spring. Big Success tended to Mrs. R. Belton, Mrs. S.

Dental Control For Tooth Decay APossibility — Dental scientists are op- timistic that complete con- trol of tooth decap can be a reality within 10. to 20 years. One study recently reported involves the use’ of an enzyme called dextra- nese to control decay. The experiment has yet to con- ducted with humans. This enyme apparently attacks a bacterial product associated with decay. product is called dextran and is involved in the form- ing of tartar. Tartar sticks to teeth, irritating. the gums and providing a nest for bacteria which produce the acids that attack the teeth, Scientists believe that the enzyme can destroy dextran, causing tartar to break down and cause few- er cavities and gum disease. Several other studies in- have been drinking fuorid- ated water since birth have as much as 65 per cent less decay than children who do not receive the benefits of fluoridation. Fluoridated water, sup- plemented by flouride solu- tions painted on the teeth and regular brushing with a fluoride dentifrice, have slashed dacay by up to 90 per cent. Use of these tech- niques has been gaining in popularity. Recently a spec- jal fluoride treatment dent- ifice became available for brushing under supervision on a mass scale by child- ren. These “brush ins” can be used by large groups of People in maintaining good oral health. @ 2°" f: Unclaimed — PO Parcels Auctioned year 1,152 © un- claimed parcels will be auc-" tioned. off in Montreal.
