BY ED HARRIS

One thing I've learned as
q city-man-turned-farmer Is
that a pig is the most SLAM
dered animal in the world.
Given half a chance. a pig Is
scrupulously clean and we'll
hammered, and most pigs are
very intelligent.
For several weeks I've been
buying pigs by the score. I
don't claim that I saw any
Of them manicuring their
toenails or sitting around
with lorgnettes but I did
learn that they were smart
and had closer family rela-
tionships than some human
beings.
Whenever Miriam and I
would step over the wire
fence to corral some pigs
that we were buying. the
mother SOW would come at
us with mayhem in her eyes.
and her squealing offspring
would run around in dizzy
circles to keep us in turmoil.
AN ANGRY SOW can be
right perilous when her pigs
are being kidnapped.
We did manage, finally, to
buy and cart off nearly 100
pigs, ranging in weight from
IS pounds to IS pounds. I
didn't feel too badly about
their complaints because ac-
tually we were saving the
little porkers from slaughter.
We wanted them for our
apple orchard, and that's
where they are now, roaming
the whole 40 acres with great
gusto. roofing up the grass,
tearing up the mice runways
and eating the mice.
Our apple trees were top
pling over like tenpins be-
cause an army Of mice had
invaded the orchard. Burrow-
ing underground. the mice
eat tree roots and even the
tree bark, killing the trees.
Instead Of buying powerful
poisons to spray on the soil.
we thought 1t best to buy
pigs. which we can sell later
without loss.
Maybe we can even make o
little profit on them, since
hog prices have been fairly
good, but I'm always afraid

then swung the register
around so that the assistant

man looked at Paar and at
the name. "Yes, SIR" he said.
He hit a bell. Boy. please
take Mr.. Primrose Magoo to

showed me a great summer.
During that time I didn't
think Of Frank even once.
But when Frank returned I
realized I still liked him and
I found myself breaking dates
with Wilbur to be with him.
I learned that Frank didn't
really reciprocate my feeling,
and worse, was spreading
stories about me which did
nothing to help my repu-
tation.
He says his friends tell him
not to lower himself by TAX
ing me back. I know I was
wrong, but I have grown up
since the summer.
Wilbur M. Before Frank
came home, I was ready to
ask Arlene to go steady and
I thought she'd agree. But
shortly after his return, I
called at her house. She told
me nobody was home, so I
couldn't come in. I stood out
side. waiting for her parents
to come home. Soon, though,
I saw Frank come out of Ar
lene's apartment.
I decided to ignore this in
cident and continued to make
dates. But she broke them,
one after the other. She had
to babysit. or so m e thing.
Then I heard some of the
rumors Frank was circulat-
ing about her. He's a jerk
and I know the tales aren't
true.
Arlene hasn't learned her
lesson yet. Now that she
doesn't have Frank, she
wants me to hurry back. She
forgets I have some pride.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Sir Walter Scott puts the
"lesson" she learned this
way: "Oh. what a tangled
web we weave. when first we
practice to deceived" Arlene
lied to Wilbur. Instead Of
telling him openly that she
would like to be friends with
two Cor more) boys at the
same time. she tried to hold
on to Wilbur and "hide"
Frank by deception.
Surely she has learned two
things. First. that dishonesty
is fatal to a close friendship.
And second. there's no rea-
son why a l5-year-old girl
can't play the field light
heartedly am ong several
friends. both boys and girls.
Should Wilbur forgive her?
His friends say no. But a boy
who thinks in terms of a
steady person. -to-person rela-
tionship must find his own
answer.

Mr.. Ludwig for the third

phasized that he has quit the
ABC coalition.
Stockard's Future Questioned
He expressed doubt that the
ABC long will tolerate school
board member James Stock
ard because he has bucked
the party machine" And he
urged voters to review their
tax increases of the past four
years during which the ABC
has controlled the County
Board.
Mr.. Wetmore again declared
secret meetings" of the board
constitute a major campaign
issue.
He said that Joint study by
board members preparatory to
official meetings doubtless can
be profitable. but that work
sessions should be held in the
courthouse. where the public
can observe them and satisfy
itself that its business is not
being conducted in private.
