Another little story from the Daily Times In London had me chuckling A year old spinster lady decided to seek a little light relief from the everyday misery of living in a mllit Catholic working class ghetto of Belfast so she planned a trip to Lourdes She wasn sick mind but had always wanted to go there When she arrived at the shrine she felt a bit faint from he heat and crowds so she sat herself down In an empty wheelchair She woke to discover herself being trundled to wards the Icy waters by an enthusiastic attendant who heed her protestations that she was alright Leaping from the chair shouting she was not sick she found quite a crowd gathered to exclaim the miracle of some one cured before emersion In the ensuing excitement the attendant lost control of the wheelchair and ran into the spinster lady causing her to fall down and break her leg She now has the distinction of being one of the only people togo to healthy and come home in a cast bonania Another clipping from the Western Producer sent by Wendy Thompson told the long tale of Old William Johnstone not our own local one I think writes of Battles with Baldy the type of horse many of us have known on the farm at one time or another On he Baldy would have a lapse of memory and I caught him one day helping himself to grain from the granary He had found a knot hole in one of the boards from which a trickle of grain would flow This was not uncommon but had discovered that by kicking the Bide of the granary he could cause the grain to leak out of the hole I was dumbfounded at his reasoning He would lap with his front foot eat for a minute tap again then munch He had a gold mine as longaa the store of grain was above the hole A piece of tin soon ended the granary bonanza But the best of all was an ad in a paper much closer to home When young pigs are to be raised for pork they are often sold after they leave their mother as This ad In the livestock section read Wieners for sole in Rio de Janiero July and in July They found Brazil very hot and quote a local saying from one town they visited The saying claims the town is so hot the birds use only one wing for flying and the other to fan themselves

in Mossoro they lived in a room with two cols a small desk and a clothes cup board They have since moved into their own house which they describe as follows It is made or cement as are most houses here and has a die roof no ceiling Inside During day we have lots of flies They retire for the night about six clock when it dark and then the mosquitos come out We have a mosquito net over the bed or you d be eaten alive The houses have no glass win so it impossible to get rid of insects It a new way of life they summed up The Beatics saw sharp contrasts in Brazil They found affluence in the cities of and poverty and beggars in the north east on arrival in he north east the program of aid is certainly justified they commented in their letter The cattle arrived in Mossoro by plane the mor Aug m The had spent part of the weekend rounding up a crude but strong ramp for the cattle to come down off the plane three fairly new Mer cedes trucks to tran sport the cattle from the airport to a four hour drive It took an hour to unload the cattle from the plane and onto the trucks When the plane landed the tail section swung open and then the ramp was wheeled up to the open back of it It was a thrilling to see the cattle coming down the ramp into the trucks with their cars up and looking quite alert the Beaties wrote They added the cattle were feeling the heat somewhat but looked healthy
