t h e w e s t v a n n e w s THE HUUNING BUSH By Subadar Looking back over the recent European criaiH, J / ^ 'i to liiugh when I reahze now much it wa.s like a oat fight. Cat fighlB always make me laugh.* The toms foregather iiti night and sit around and sciuall' their lungs out, making noises th a t would make a jazz band player gnash his teeth with envy. Every mother's son of ;them keeps lashing his tail in an anger, which most of the time is never strong enough to start them scrapping. In the end they usually walk away to their various homes, looking sideways lest their .slow exit , should provoke a rush on the part- of one of them. Salutes (>f old boots and bedroom bric-a- brac only move the party - one ^ gardon-l4U-*U;crr-buL-iieA:iUija.topJi«.ii it. This reminds me of a deiu* old maiden lady I knew in Eng­ land, who in an ecstacy of mid- nigiit wrath tried to ernpty^ a jug' of water on one of these afi'airs. Unfortunately, s h e threw 'the ju'g as well, and hit a ̂ policeman instead of the cats. In telling me about it, she said . she u.sed beer; and .; that the policeman wa.s a dear. Please ,, . note neither she nor I were poets. Jlsp lia lt P rc m ix for yourDRIVEWAYS Phone North 1141 ROAD M ATiKIAU JUUMUanEn ALP' ELLIS, West 160-Yor m n A L D E L C O N O W 00.

It recall.s my boyhood (lays, when a story about some invasion of England by the Mar­ tians appeared in a , magazine. I remember they were depicted, as looking like gasometers on thin steel legs, and they chased trains and generally played hob with the countryside.
