Train Riding Rabbit Sandy Captivates Ontario Line Crew
A brown rabbit named Sandy made the caboose of a Canadian Pacific way freight train near Joachim Ontario his home for four years. He traveled about 100000 miles between Windsor and London, set a world record for cottontails, and bonded with Conductor Angus R McDonald who granted him freedom to the ground before each start. The rabbit was well fed and kept clean, but wary of visitors, and disappeared after the conductor retired. The crew mourned, advertising for him in newspapers without luck.

Fred A. Shannon, University of Illinois historian and Pulitzer winner, urged at the Conference on American Civilization at the University of Wisconsin that schools teach fewer incidental subjects. He argued elementary and high schools are dominated by zealots pushing activities like Sunday school, folk dances, PTA praise, and gold stars, with little focus on modern life facts.
