F BROM - VARNA FEED MILL Phone 482-9219 We Deliver Rambling With Lucy (Lucy R.. .Woods) The groandhog .which saw his shadow on February .g cer- tainly made „error in going '1).0etk to sleep for six”: More weeks this year — in fact he'may not be finding things to 'his liking at over eight weeks ! ! March came in like a lamb ;and soon afterwarda "the lion” began to roar and kept it up until the end. As one radio commen- tater remarked, "Spring is just around the next snow drift. More were no potatoes plante0 739.1itiod this_ year on. March 11!.. 'But on that date; H. H. Ormond repOked a pair of robins at his feeder. They appeared to have just :returned from the sunny south, in good plumage looldneplittm0 and WelKed. How 'they must have Shivered since then! In those stormy days four male and one female oardirial hung around the feeder at "The 1-11.1V' waiting for the sunflower qeedsf. The 'little chickadees, too, flit in and out, watching leer theitl. And recently a murmuration of starlings has, as "Mr." says, seen bothering him.They swoop down on: the..feeding station and the two bunches of suet hanging out for the chickadees and woodpeckers. He is kept busy rattling the latch of the storm icor. This is really the first winter there 'have been many star tugs at "The Hut". You might wonder how the starlings cling to the bags of suet — one on, the clothes line and the other hanging from a limb of the willow tree. They don't cling — just sit on top of the net which holds it. "Mr" put the suet out first in a piece of old lace curtain. It hung there for two weeks and nary a bird went near it, Lucy 3taltited to tease him by saying he'd have -to crotchet a proper •bag. That seemed like too much work for her spouse! Next day "Mr" 'announced that he had salved the problem. He'd cut a chunk out of that old fishnet stored in the barn, and transferred the suet to it; and he'd no 's'ooner hung it up than a Downie woodpecker alighted on it. "That was the tennis net!" ejaculated Lucy, her eyebrows and probably her voice, too, rising. "Tennis net or not, it IS cut now!" replied "Mr." Next day, another piece of the tennis net held a second chunk of suet sus- pended from the clothes line where Lucy could view it from her chair. Now, Lucy has Scottish as well as Irish blood in her veins, and the thought of wantonly outing up the tennis net for the birds seemed a waste. But 'a bit of reasoning with herself and the Irish came to the fore. How long was it .since that tennis net had been used? Thirty-five years, probably! And it brought back many memories of when Lucy and her sister were young. They had no tennis net nor money to buy one, so mother made them one out of some fish nets Stored in the attic. Father had accepted the nets some, years before in payment of a medical bill from a fisherman who had no money. They hhilg in 'the 'attic for years as they weren't the type of net used here; But not too long after the tennis net had 'been made, these nets' came into vogue again. And someone remembered that the Doctor had some of those nets. And so they were acid to a fisher- mlan — minus the piece for the tennis net — and the Doctor was. reimbursed for his medicines and attendance. The homemade tennis net brought much 'happiness to Ludy, her sister Jean and their' friends. And' here a piece of it was bringing 'happiness 'again' to Lucy, watching from her chair the birds enjoying the suet it held. And so she argued, it was 'still useful — anyway, who ,at her age would flaunt Providence by rattling their old bones around a tennis court! So Scottish conscience was lulled to sleep! "Mr." has been following the Downie woodpeckers about with a camera, They are friendly little birds but simply will net pose properly for him. And the Hairy woodpecker is very shy end takes off as soon as' he appears. One friendly chickadee made a dive for a hole in Carl's pant leg one day. It almost lighted be- fore it discovered that the light spot was -neither a chunk of suet nor a hole suitable for building a nest! Mrs. J. E. HoWard report- ed en Oregon junco and two pair of purple finches at her feeder last Month: Bayfield seems to have quite a variety of birds. Those migrating came back early this year. Could they have rushed the season being certain of finding plenty of food in the many -feeding stations here?

Original estimates on the ar- ena were set at about $200,000 but more recent figures show the building could probably be constructed for $150,000. Under the Centeneial Act, Clinton could expect about $7,000 from federal and provin- cial governments if the project was elven approval. The local committee is also investigating other sources from which money may be available.
