Mr. and Mrs. Hilson lost their entire winter's supply of vegetables, stored in their cellar, when the sewer backed up and flooded the base- ment with 27 inches of raw sew- age ATTENDS OPENING ' Miss Sybil Bennett, Halton Pro- gressive Conservative candidate in the last election, assisted Mrs. George Drew in receiving as the Tory leader opened his new Ot- tawa home-over the weekend.

ASSESSMENT WELL UP Acton's new assessment roll, accepted last week by coun- cil, showed a new total of $2,109, 856. This figure represents an in- crease of $90,000 over last year. NEW BEGONIA A new variety of begonia,| springing from a cross bétween tuberous and fibrous species, was on display in Acton this week.

FELINE DECLINE A mysterious epidemic has just about wiped out the entire feline population of Zimmerman, 'in Nelson Township, where hardly a family has escaped the loss of one or all of its cats.

Here is_ the an- onymous contribution, which seems to cover the subject very, very thorough BOY: After a male baby has grown out of long clothes and tri- angles and has acquired pants, freckles, and so much dirt that relatives 'do not care to kiss it between meals, it becomes a BOY. A boy is Nature's answer to that false belief that there is no such thing as perpetual mo- tion. A boy can swim like a fish, run like a deer, climb like a squir- rel, balk like a mule, bellow like a bull, eat like a pig, or act like a jackass, according to climatic conditions. He is a piece of skin stretched over an appetite. A noise covered with smudges. He is called a tornado because he comes at the most unexpected places, and leaves everything a wreck behind him. He is a grow- ing animal of superlative promise to be fed, watered, and Kept warm, a joy forever, a periodic nuisance, the problem of our times, the hope of a nation. Boys faithfully imitate their dads in spite of all efforts to teach them good manners. A boy, if not wash- ed too often and kept in a cool, quiet place after each accident, will survive broken bones, horn- ets," swimming holes, fights, and nine helpings of pie. Recipe for Health!

"Shops are loaded down with merchan- dise, and most people have more money than usual at this time of year," the chief explains. So keep a keen lookout for light- fingered gentry, or those who try to sell you gold bricks or stocks of a questionable nature. By Jim SHIRLEY IMPRESSES G.B.S. In one of the amusing scenes in Colin Miller's comedy, "A Kiss For Corliss," star Shirley Temple reads a very dramatic passage from ome of George Bernard Shaw's plays to a friend. After the scene was shot Shir- ley reminisced with her co-star, David Niven, about her one and only contact with the celebrated man of letters. When she was at her height as a child star, a stu- dio représentative attempted to get G. B. Shaw to make one of his famous quips about little Shirley. He was asked, as a starter, if it would not be interesting to meet her. "Well," remarked Shaw, "after hearing about the kind of money this child star earns for her stu- dio, I would say that I'm sure I might learn a trick or two from her.
