One hundred and forty pounds of pork — on the hoof— is on the loose somewhere in the woods of Norwood.
Now in this day of meat shortages and ration points that’s a lot of fresh shoulder and sausage meat running around unattached and no one knows it better than John Labisser of 535 Walpole Street who today issues an appeal, through the police, to the citizens of Norwood to be on the lookout for the roaming porker.
Labisser hasn’t yet set the terms of the reward but the finder could at least hope for the return of a pound or two of bacon with no ration points.
The animal, Labisser told police, escaped yesterday from its pen.
