A friend of mine, a veteran stockman, constantly attempts to convince me that at the time of their initial contact with this now deceased live-wire my horses were stung with sufficient current to instill into them a lasting reluctance towards further proximity to the supposed hot-line. ! do not buy this. I firmly believe that they were frightened not by the obstacle itself but by the dubious decor. Perhaps I should begin at the beginning when in early spring I purchased, ostensibly for my decidedly disinterested grandchildren, a beautiful little mare who has to date lackadaisically carried the less than delighted kids around the corral some half a dozen times and upon whose short-coupled and well-rounded back their ecstatic grandmother has spent many happy summer hours. Little Dell'was initially confined to a box stall and an a djace nt enclosure where she flirted over the rails with my two fatuously frustrated geldings. After several weeks of such foolishness had led to an apparently mutual acceptance, ! ventured to give her the freedom of the pasture. Bedlam ensued. My shameful horses, outraged at the temerity of this encroaching newcomer, drove her at full gallop from fence corner to fence corner until my wrathful bellows penetrated their one-track minds and they were successfully stabled in their respective stalls. "Poor Little Dog," I said to myself. "She's scared half to death and I'll never be able to catch her !" I was wrong. Even as the words melted into memory she was running toward me. She braked to a screaming halt and tucked her trembling head beneath my arm. Back she went to private quarters while an electric wire was strung down mid-meadow to protect her rights and to ensure that she receive equal opportunity with no hint of discrimination. The fine line drawn to guard rather than to exclude the female of the species was almost invisible. In order to make the small but mighty barricade more readily obvious to the horses I Amaranth to meet Amaranth Social Club will meet at noon on Monday in Fir Tree Park. Those attending should bring sack lunches. Tea and coffee will be furnished. Public opinion unjust Nothing is more unjust or capricious than public opinion. William Hazlitt D,C,: $9,66 an hour. You can call cross-country, talk for a full sixty minutes and pay only $9.66, plus tax. That's if you call before 8 a.m. and dial direct without operator assistance. Other-hour calls across the country are also inexpensive. Go ahead. Reach out and touch someone you love. By phone. Just hearing those special voices is worth it, any day ofthe year. Pacific Northwest Bell tied to it at not too widely spaced intervals shining strips of white cloth. First ! utilized all available rags. Then the extra sheets were sacrificed. Finally the kitchen curtmins met their fate and there still remained to be adorned several hundred feet of fencing. I sought the universal answer to my dilemma by haunting the weekend garage and rummage sales. It is utterly amazing how little white material is discarded. In order to meet my quota I bought armloads of old bras, and in order to get the most for my nickel I purchased, naturally, the largest sizes pebble. These were subsequently flown at half mast from the heretofore empty expanse of fence and an impressive sight they were, whipping madly in their prodigious magnitude and bulging bawdily as they filled and billowed in the violent valley winds. Since an electric clothes dryer is one of the many little luxuries I have seen fit to forego in order to support my three horses in the manner to which most equines would like very much to become accustomed, I maintain a short length of sagging clothesline within shying distance of the barnyard; but the dark and curious orbs of the Arab and the highly suspicious hazel eyes of Big William had never noted with any degree of undue interest the rather insignificant display of my own meager unmentionables. My malfunctioning electric fence conducts no current. However, neither of those geldings will go anywhere near those fluttering size 48 D-cups. Many a so-called live-wire large upon the horizon has lost his charge; but past performance will see him through on the basis of that which he used to do. Nobody knows that he's not so hot, that the current has dimmed and the wad is shot. t {lmtt~y not included) OO On October 16 at 11:30 a.m. Hood Canal Woman's Club will meet in its Potlatch clubhouse for a dessert luncheon and business meeting.
