MERRY. BILL ANDERSON RADIO - APPLIANCES CHAIR 10 Sales & Service MAMMA RESIGNS Dunn a ii One lovely bright day in Sept- ember, I was mending the seat of a chair outside the kitchen door. Some over-stuffed guest had lowered his well padded end too heavily 'onto the canvas and it just couldn't take it. I had a hammer in one hand and a hand- ful of bright coloured canvas in the other and several tacks in a place they definitely should not be, between my lips. I had been alone a few seconds before, but now I noticed Patsy sitting not far from me among the cedars under the living room window. "Hello," I mumbled between the tacks, "hot, isn't it?" "It's not the heat that's both- ering me!" she said. "Spifflicated Optometrist * Optician con Colborne St., Oaicville Ont. Oskville (Over the Bank of Commerce) NURSERIES 1 eye Prescription services.

WATT Local Representative 8! no! It's not the heat! That's the least of my wor- ries. It's those pesky kids. They to think I'm a walking dairy. I never did see such hung- ry kids. They think I'll go on feeding them forever, but I won't. No, I won't; Why should I? It's just a lot of red tape, that's what it is--red tape. I'm through now!" She was silent for a while, and I was too. It was dangerous to "I've heard of people resigning from things and I think it's a wonderful idea. I'd like to resign too. Yes, snail's toes and wortle- berry jam, it's a good idea--yes, I like it--good idea!" Then standing up she walked slowly over to me, and looking up at my face she said: " I resign." Then turning with a determined air she walked slowly away, around the corner and down the path, murmuring to herself "Well that's that--now he can cope with them." From that day on Patsy hard- ly ever went near the pups again during the daytime. She was with them or near them at night, but only fed them the odd time. Of course by this time they were eating Pablum several times a day, and were practically weaned. Taffee looked on with awe at the feedings, always hoping there would be a bit of Pablum left for her when her piggy little broth- ers and sisters were finished. She stood back a few feet, or sat safely up on a chair and looked down on the wondrous sight. "I never in all my life saw such a piggy wiggy lot/of kids," Taf- fee said, looking down her long blond snout at them. "Really Joe, they remind me of some queer animals one might have seen if one were unfortunate enough to lived in a prehistortic age--back in the time when dogs had no education and definitely ce Column little red lane. 'Usually one pup would see "Aunt Taffee, the big: sister who didn't choose to be called sister, and would make for her as fast as her short little legs would carry her overstuffed little body. Aunt Taff, seeing her wobble towards her, would antic- ipate her intention and scoot as if she'd suddenly been struck by an electric current in a spot which hurt her most. As she whizzed around the door into the hall and out through the kitchen she would hurl back insults at her brothers and sisters. "Those little scrunts needn't start being friendly with me. It's just a waste of time for them, This Spaniel Girlie is not ioth- ering with fat bits of fluff half soaked in Pablum." Then she would leave home for awhile. She was always threat- ening to leave home, but she us- ually didn't go farther than up to the back road. We would see her walking slowly along sniffing the wild flowers and flowering. weeds. Soon she was back, bring. ing some lovely piece of trash which she had found in the back yard of some neighboring cottage. A teapot with a broken spout, an old-bathing suit or wornout beach slippers--any of these were rare treasures to Taffee. Teddy Bear Was Fascinated HE WANTED TO KNOW A CLOCK TICKED BY MAX TRELL For a long time Teddy the Stuffed Bear, who lived in a cor- ner of the playroom--the corner next to the table on which the alerm-clock stood--for a long time Teddy kept looking at the table, and especially at the alarm clock. It was quite a handsome clock, Teddy thought. It was sort of cream-colored. It had a large round white face with black 1 Ss s where inside. "That's what Teddy. "But how out?" General Tin the tin soldier didn't know either; and neither did the Hobby Horse or the Can- ary, or Knarf and Hanid, the Shadows. Nobody knew exactly where the tick-tock came from except it came from somewhere inside the clock. So finally Teddy said he had an idea. "I'll take the clock apart and if the tick-tock is inside, which I'm sure it is, we'll cer- tainly find it," he said. "Better not," sald General Tin. "Why not?" asked Teddy. "Because tick-tocks are heard but not seen. Nobody ever saw a tick-tock." However, neither Teddy nor any of the others paid any at- tention to this advice. "General Tin just doesn't wan to bother taking it apart," said Knarf. Few Minutes Teddy now started unscrewing things from the back of the clock. All the others helped him. In a few minutes there were quite a number of screws and I think," said can we find Teddy listened to the clock licking little rods lying on the floor. Then the back came off. "Now let's see if we can see the tick-tock," said Teddy eag- erly. He poked his head inside. But all he could see were more screws and rods and wheels and springs. The others all looked too. But they eouldn't see any more than Teddy. 'So Teddy went and took more of the clock apart for he knew that the tick-tock had to de omewhere among all those screws and rods and wheels and prings. Well, it wasn't very long before they were all out--all scattered over the floor. my, clock was all in pieces. "But where's the tick-tockon cried Teddy. "Just what T said)" repeateq General Tin gloomily. "You hear it but you can't see it. Youg better put that clock together again. IVI never tell time lying all in pieces like that." i 'Alas, Teddy couldn't put tne [i clock together at all. Even wity, everybody's help, he couldn't fit all the screws and rods ang wheels and springs back. Ang even when the clock was put to. gether in a sort of way, it wasn't the same any more. True, it looked the same. But one thing was missing--one very important thing.

It was the sound that kept coming out of the clock. It was the tick-tock that really interested Teddy. Over and Over "Where does it come from?" he asked himself over and over again. "Does it come from the Jarvis & Ryrie |} REAL ESTATE -- INSURANCE -- MORTGAGES 118 COLBORNE ST. EAST Phone 490 -- Holidays 296-W. ASSOCIATE t OPEN EVENINGS 4 face of the clock?
