Here is a story about a hog-calling contest sponsored by the University of Cali- fornia at Berkeley. It was won by a semior from Indiana, whose de- clamation of "Who-e-e-e pig, pig, pig." won high praise from the pro- fessional judge. Other contestants, it was reported, had good range, ade- quate volume, fine tonal.qualities, but they made the grave error of call- ing 'Soo-e-e-e, pig, pig, pig," which means "scram" to a pig, it was ex~ plained carefully, and so presumably disqualified those who said "Soo-e-e- e" because after all it was a calling contest. end, What fascinates us in the story is the degree of culture possessed by Californian pigs that it reveals. We have serious doubts that Carleton county pigs know "Who-e-e-e means come to dinner and "Soo-e-e-e" means scram, To tell the truth it is a long time since we called pigs, but we do not recall that they showed remark- able intelligence or were conspicuous for their regard to the niceties of tone and pronounciation. Volume, however, was imperative, and if the call were -loud 'enough it seems to us the pigs didn't care much whether one said "Who-e-e-e" or "Soo-e-e-e," or sang about the Bicycle Built for Two. In California, though it's differ- ent. There, apparently, pigs have learned to distinguish between . the command to come and the order to go, hence, and hog-calling has become an exact science. It must be the climate, 'one supppses, or 'perhaps the Berkeley pigs have imbibed something of learning from a schol- astic environment.--Ottawa Journal. - RATIONS FOR DAIRY COWS SET BY SUPPLY ar total was distributed in round figur-| statistics regarding the total water-| construction and ian canals since | 10 every other Scout, The old saying "Once a Scout Al- ways a Scout," was again borne ouf] when old boys of the 46th Toronto (Leslie Street School)' Scout Troup attended a meeting called for | the formation of a Group Committee, The history of the 46th Troop dates back to pre-war days, and many of the former Scouts are now occupying important positions in the com- munity, : gs GRR A Ra 'Banff Scouts made a special door- to-door canvas for used clothing and) footwear for their friends the Stony Indians on the reserve at Morley Alta, : * * 3 For Remembrance Day Sunday at Mount Dennis, Ont., Girl Guides and Brownies and Cubs, Scouts and Rovers of the 20th Toronto (Mount Dennis) Group paraded to the Church of the Good Shepherd for a service presided over by the rector, Rev.
