Northern Advocate, 28 May 1940, Page 2

‘Advocate’’ Office, Water Street, Whangarei. Tuesday, May 28, 1940. Bear-Northlanders— Remember last week I was telling about my adventures out rabbit shooting? There was another part of that adventure, but we could not cram it in last week. On the way back across the paddock w-e found a sheep that had fallen into a hole and was held tight byblackberry stalks getting firmly entwined in the wool. Didn’t think it would be possible for blackberry to hold a fully-grown sheep captive, did you? But this old chap had been well and truly caught, and from the look of him had been struggling for a long time. We soon cut him free and he walked off none the worse for his experience. He stopped a few- yards away- and gave us the most puzzled look. - “I can’t understand you humans.” he seemed to say. “You rescue me today, yet in a few months’ time I’ll be in the freezer.” But there again, I don’t suppose he knows that there’s a war on and that Northland farmers are making extra special efforts to grow- food for our troops. Even the old sheep will be called on one of these days to play his part in helping us to win the war. Cheerio. Rangatira, Northland Tribe.
