am wondering if coming events really cast their ahadosws before remember lasi weejt i was referring to the ease with which accidents can happen on e farm it must have been premonition or something of that sort that prompted my remarks as last thursday just as the last load of baled hay was leaving the field partner lost his balance turned a somersault over the bales behind him and landed on his right shoul der on the hard bare ground re suit a compound fracture of the collar bone that is certainly bad enough but it might have been worse h could have been his back or his neck that was broken as it is he is practically helpless the strapping across both shoulders makes the right arm completely useless and the left arm nearly as bad under those conditions we were faced with nine cows to milk and i am about as useless with cows as n office clerk mainly through nervousness so the two of us had a great time getting the milkers on the cows partner would explain exactly what i should do and do h quick bu i w loo sl t w 8n cow and then tumble around tbna letting the air out of the tubes and the whole thing would drop off gain we tried it again next morning and then realized that to keep it up was more than we could manage and that strugglir by our selves might even result in a more serious injury to one or ihe other of us if we had needed help only for a day or two we knew any one of our neighbors would hive come to the rescue but this business will be a matter of weeks not days so we put in an sos lo bob to come home until we could git our elves organised we certainly cin

holiday we ud to call it august bank holiday over in england alia in sudbury where we lived it was alwivs a big day a dav we looked forward to for weeks for as long as i can remember we always had a regatta on that day on the river stour there were all kinds of sculling races singles doubles and fours also ladies boat races and a game of water polo there were also competitive sculling races and it was a great da if our boys won a championship against the ips wich team tt was ail good clean sport but i suppose the most hilarious fun was right at the end of the after noon when the creae pole was set up actually there were two poles one in a horizontal position across the river and the other at right angles immediately above it at the extreme end of the angle pole hung a square tin box with a trap door that could be opened by the cord that hung from it and which when pulled would release the ducks that were enclosed inside design for slavery 2i miles north of huntsville no 11 highway marshall spring mattresses light housekeeping phone huntsville 8mw3 your hosts pete and marion hunter write r r 2 huntsvilte ontario the box the trick was to reach that cord men and boys in swimming trunks and with bare feet ried to walk the greasy pole trying to keep their balance so they might again they made the attempt some times getting only a little way other times almost reaching iheir goal but invariably the end was the same a vain attempt to regain their balance on the slipptry pole and then over they would go into the waler backwards head first any way at all it all added to the fun eventually the grease would wtar off i bit someone would be successful in pulling the string and the ducks would drop into the water then inert was a mad scmmblt to dive in after the ducks
