-Std. -QQ' Wig!! THE ACCIDENT while I was very busy taking care of sick pets, a woman came in with a dog that had been run over. It was a sorry sight! The dog was bleeding internally, but could walk with a terrible limp.. I said that the dog looked like it could survive and we'd give it 48 hours with treat- ment and then see what happened. We put it in the best kennel we had and fed it. After 8 hours an operation became necessary. we had trouble giving it the anaesthetic but we had to hurry if the dog was to survive. The operation seemed to be successful, for the dog had less of a limp and seemed to be improving rapidly. we decided to put it in together with a few other dogs, as we thought it would do it good. Everything was going well until the dogs started going wild. I went to see what was happening. It wasn't a pretty sight. Rover had the dog, Lassie, by the neck and was swinging her around. I ran in to separate them and carried a bleeding Lassie out. We decided to put her down and called her owner, Mrs Ellis, to come over. Lassie was lying whining on the table. It was hard for me to do it. I ha the syringe in my hand. I said my last goodbyes and put the needle in her neck. Soon she was gone. H. PRAKKE One day Mike Schutte and Gerrie Coetzee were at a restaurant. At this particular one there were mirrors on all the walls. Mike piped up and said : HLook, there's Mike and Gerrie. Let's go and say hello.n Gerrie said, HYa, let's go and have a chat.H So they both got up and went over. They were half way there when Mike said to Gerrie uAg, let's go sit down again. It seems like they're coming over herein Far away, In some lonely bay, Lies a place, An empty space, Not filled with steel Ice cold rusty steel, Framed in concrete And glowing glass. Like here, Where in city gear, Me walk on roads, Lined with robes, of broken glass, And as we pass, The city sighs, Its warning cry. K. GOUGH A DISTANT WARNING Smog, The citys grog, But why should we be drunk on other peoples junk, So why should we let The people who just say get Destroy our earth, our precious earth. ' M.

I own the K.G. cemetry in Muizenberg. I'd like to tell you about a strange experience. It all started one day when an elderly lady by the name of wilson came into my office. I had agreed to cremate someone in her family by the name of Elliot. I went to take the measurements for the coffin. These were 5 cm by 3 cm. It was a hamster. At first I did not want to do the job, but after a while she persuaded me. I made the coffin, but I did not put on a latch as I could not find one small enough. The day came for Elliot to be cremated. we put him on the conveyor belt and switched it on. Just then the little lid was flung open and Elliot came clambering out. We switched the belt off and Mrs wilson took him home. Elliot had just been hibernating! K. GOUGH FEELINGS A- LA SONIA EMBARRASSMENT IS .... ... when you go to a restaurant and you drop your knife on the floor and your fingers are smeared with food. when your boyfriend phones you and the line is silent for ten minutes. when you call out an answer in class and it's wrong. GROSS IS .. when someone makes lumpy custard and you have to eat it because you don't want to offend them. FEAR IS ...... thinking about dying and what is going to happen to you afterwards. ... when you have broken your mother's best vase and she hasn't come home yet. S. VAN HEERDEN what do you get when you play a Bles Bridges record backwards? Potjiekos recipes. C. FREEMAN 143 .A M-. .,.. .........-.kxgl
