No Job Too Small Reasonable Rates Free Estimates Young People of Holy rout jlznrnAi// for 'ewd by Elizabeth Kelson The air around Thornhill is alive with pigeons these days. In fact a thriving business has been going on all winter amongst some of the neighborhood boys and it shows no sign of letting up, and daily there are more converts. As usual, with any hobby involving pets, there are a few problems. The worst criticism seems to be that the pigeons are dirty. Just the same, in spite of this drawback. these same pigeons are doing the boys a lot of good. I say boys, because I do not know a girl that owns pigeons. In the first place, it provides a healthy outlet for extra energy, satisfies the acquisitive instincts which young boys have in great amounts. They sometimes buy and sell pigeons and as you can see, it trains their business sense. They wait eagerly and al- most tenderly as each egg breaks and a new little pigeOn is added to their holdings. They, think in terms of doll- ars and cents, these boys, but they are capable of great kindness to these lovely looking birds, and they are fed and housed as carefully as any loved pet. fimummummnmmunmun“\Innnnnummummlmmmmumnnmlmmmunmmuumunmummmmmmmmmd The young pigeon fancier does a great deal of business over the phone and the words “homer” and “tumbler” have become as familiar as the words, “cat” or "dog". Sometimes it is a boy’s room that is a centre for the most remarkable discussions. The discussions are serious and quite grown up, and they discuss books that tell them about the different breeds and their feed- ing and care. The only complaint'I have heard so far is, that they have to spend too much time returning pigeons to their proper owners. It seems the 1‘ ‘ming pigeon has a habit of returning to the place where it was born, but these are only minor risks to this fascin- ating hobby that has kept a whole group of boys inter- ested for such a time. aummmuuumu\\mumummm“mummumlmmummmmuu“nnnmumllu\1mnumummmmnmumummnmunug TO FARMERS & GARDENERS A.o.a-a-o.u. s n n A Headquarters for builders’ supplies - - Lime, Cement and Plasters and Tile g 'k 'k * 1% Feed Coal Fuel Oil Bring that Auto Radio to Chapmans bloomed Mechanic- Repairs To All Makes 0!
