NOTE—Lucy wrote this "Rambling" before winter returned to the area, but it is still being printed with the hope the "omens" .are evidence that the present weather is only a last fling. At any rate, it certainly proves that birds are returning and will need to be fed until the snow goes again.) Spring is here! A robin arrived at "The Hut" on March 1, since when he has been observed pulling fat worms out of the vegetable garden. On the same day a purple grackle was seen 'swaying in" the French pussy willow. He feeds at the station. 'Mrs. J. E. Howard reported a migration of red poll's feeding at the back of her property on MarCh 6. There were hundreds of them when she went out for a walk and when she returned home, not one was to be seen. They had evidently gone on their way farther north. On March 14, Mrs. Howard heard the meadow larks singing and saw two flocks of wild geese coming in from the lake (presumably to feed in a grain field south of the village). And as week earlier she had noticed a flock feeding in a field near Goderich. On Monday morning, she reports that she was attracted by a large flock of birds singing beautifully in the trees. It was such a clear liquid "Scablear! So-clear!" song and upon investigation the songstets proved to be evening grosbeaks.' Lucy hadn't seen any at "The Hut" ter some time so supposed they'd taken off for their nesting grounds in the fir belt north of Lake :Superior. Two scouts came to the feeding station on Monday but did not return, But the chickadees and the cardinals still look for their handout. "Mr." forgot to put out sunflower seeds on Saturday evening. On Sunday, morning, lie was .scolded roundly: by a pet chickadee as soon as he appeared. And others joined in the chorus until their favourite food was forthcoming. A resident of Clinton reported hearing the kildeer's cry in the country on March 9. And the same day, Lucy was -told that the ground hogs were out again. A pair of mourning doves were observed feeding on Main Street on Manday, They may have been here for some time but when• one heara their mournful "000ah, c000, c000, coo", the warm weather will be here for the season. With the melting of the snow,• the garden is dotted with white patches of snowdrops. "Mr." first brought four in to Lucy two weeks ago. On Saturday, be dug up a clump and potted them, In the warmth of the house, they grew over two inches overnight, and the bells fell out from the stems instead of being packed in tightly together, making a dainty; graceful table centre, And in sheltered, sunny spots the yellow crocuses are Poking up their heads, Sap's running! Maple syrup's making! The sun is shin- ing (at time'of writing)! It's spring! It's spring! The long dark days Of winter are past! One is full of hope! But—the month of March' is not over! The robin may 'yet be looking •for a spot to "hide his head under his wing, poor thing!" However, be it an early warm spring or a late cool one, gardeners will be busy. ' There are the grounds to clean up—and the aching muscles to be endured from the unaccustomed exercise of raking. Then as soon as the soil is dry and warm enough, the first potatoes and early vegetable seeds will be planted. Lucy recalls one year in particular when many villagers planted their gardens on March 17. Those were the days when Lucy had the pleasure of getting her fingers into God's good clean soil.

The heating entliPMent, plumbing, the wash rooms,, 'the septic tank disposal beds, were all installed With a ca acct far four roorne, The new school built in 1955 cost $40,000. There is a $35,000 debt still against In answer to enestiOns, was ascertained, that while a percentage is paid by the Pro- vincial GOVeeranerrt, it de not given in a InMP sum, hUt as a percentage of the payment falling. due each year, Bay- field is therefore liable for the interest. -With the movement for an area school, it was hoped by the Hayfield, Board that ara rangements might be made to have the two school sections, No. 3 and No, 4 Stanley; joined to. Bayfield and maintain a foer-room school here. The general feeling was that after incurring so much debt it was a pity not to utilize it. of the various systems,' Mr. Pareeffe stated that Baeliielld has OW' good teach, er s but that A4' an edglina00111 consolidated school there would be only one grade to a room. The teachers are at present, over-worked and hearing the other grades taught as .con,. fusing to the pupil, Merton Merrier pointed out that 'in $S No, 8, there are at present 613 pupils. That would mean two busses- .corn,, Mg to the villae te transrt them to: a centrally located area in Stanley Township. That expense could be saved if the school were. here. The pupils here constitute one-aiftb oaf the gross attend- ance in Stanley Township, The anspeetor stated that the Trustees elected for Stanley Township School' Board - to come into, office in January of 1965 Will decide the location of the school. He advised that the ratepayers get busy and get two, from Bayfield on it.. One ratepayer suggested 'that those who favoured saving some expense by adding two rooms onto Bayfield and those in favour of en eight-room sch- ool get together 'and co-oper- ate. Stanley Township could be split into two camps, Inspector Burrows, at one point in the meeting inadvert- ently referred to SS No. 8 as, "the old school." As with one yoke the ratepayers asked, "What do you mean.. — OLD SCHOOL?". Mr. Burrows quoted the ed- itorial in last week's Clinton News-Record concerning the advisability of delaying decis- ions until the new ruling which comes into effect January 1965 be thoroughly understood. ' He called on Reeve E. Tal- bot who was non-committed. He felt that Stanley Township council had nothing to do with the proceedings. However, he asked for a sheaving of hands of those in favour of a consoli- dated. school. Only one hand was raised. There was not absolute dis- cord in the meeting, neither was there accord. Before the meeting adjourn- ed, Merton Mernor expressed thanks to Inspector J. G. Bur- rows for attending the meeting and giving information to the ratepayers.
