A little mole out- manouvered me Friday afternoon. I was-sitting at the kitchen table going through some newspapers for articles to put in my scrapbook when | heard an odd noise. There was. a mole trying to get under the little broom cupboard door. I grabbed the fly swatter to hit the little creature. For an animal that is supposed to be sightless, it could cer- tainly get about. It kept to the floor and raced along near the wall and hiding spots: under stove, fridge. behind garbage container, but it never darted across the open floor space. I gave the thing several good whacks but it always managed to get away from me. Next the little rascal escaped into the dining and sitting room, under fur- niture, behind books. Finally | managed to hit it a good. wallop. It rolled over on its back but as I reached to pick it up by its short tail to throw it out the door, for ravens and dogs, it bounced back on its feet and got lost in my office. It must have entered the basement drain and started to explore my home. Here's hoping that it left the same way. It was a tough little animal. It pro- vided me with a good chuckle or two when I realized that it had outwit- ted me. Word has been received of the passing of Joseph Molinski in) Vancouver, Be.

Most of our national news media appear to believe that Canada revolves around the big city. Yet, every week, there are hundreds of first-class community news- papers produced by journalists who are just as talented as the high-profile media people whose work is focused and produced in Toronto. Initiated by the Elmira Independent, a small-town weekly in a com- munity where agriculture is still important, a new national journal | brings you an interesting and provocative selection of articles that broaden your outlook and involve you in matters of concern to some of . the majority of Canadians who live outside of the Toronto metropolis.
