Mrs. Fawcett saw smile people gathered around on the street looking At something „so she went Over to see what was Attracting. .attention, There was the baby squirrel on the ground and the onlookers afraid to touch .4, Margaret walked into the circle and picked. it up, She held it in her .cupped hands and the wee animal feeling that it was safe curled up in a ball with its tail around it. Nancy, who shares her mother's love of nature wished to take it home and keep it for a pet, but'her mother said, "No, it is better with its mother!" Mother .squirrel was scolding excitedly from the roof of the store. So Mrs. Fawcett took the baby squirrel to a maple tree near Utter's store and got it to cling to the bark. Then she stepped back with the other people to watch, Mother squirrel ceased her scolding, jumped from the roof into. A maple tree and across to where her offspring was clinging for dear life. Very cautiously she came down the tree smelling all around the truck. Then she smelled the little one all over. Margaret watched in suspense as some wild animals will abandon their young if the scent of human hands is on them, However, mother squirrel must have felt like her baby, that they were kind loving hands for any helpless little animal or bird, for she suddenly dived her nose under the little one's hind quarters, caught the skin of its chest in her mouth. Baby wrapped its legs and tail around mother and up they went, slowly but surely, to the roof of the building, and no doubt to the nest out of which the venturesome one had strayed. One boy remarked: "If I'd had my sling-shot with me I'd have. shot it." "Not while I was here, you wouldn't," advised -Mrs. Fawcett. The cooler weather the second week in September was a welcome relief from the humidity and yet it was a reminder that Fall will soon be upon us. Already the purple martins and swallows have gone. Mrs. Fred "Weston says that the purple martins usually go every year on August 16. This year they left their colony house on that date but seemed to hang around "The Hut" for several days, so that it was towards -the end of the month when they left. Could it have been the exceedingly warm weather which delayed their departure? Or were they waiting for other birds from farther north to join them for the long trip. The first week in September, Carl remarked that the place seemed ' full of House Wrens, They were chattering about the shrubs. Lucy remarked that they must be gathering for migration. They may be still about but there hasn't been one on the property since. Also that week Miss Carrie Dixon sighted Blackburnian, black and white, Prothonotary, Red Starts and others feeding at Camborne House indicating that the Fall migration of warblers had begun. On one of the last hot dry days, Lucy was sitting outside the door when she.heard a little "cluk! cluk!" coming as she thought from the lilac trey' across the driveway. But flying straight towards her from that direction was a female humming bird. It came to the last dried out blooms of the red powder puff hollyhock by the door. Unaware of Lucy so close it dug its bill in repeatedly in search of nectar. Then it perched on the edge of the flower and tried again. It came last week, twice in one day to try and get in at the row of African violets on the dining room window. Lucy began thinking that perhaps these pretty birds were on slim diets as the flowers are so wilted and burnt-looking from lack of rain. Carl had read about putting out sugar and water for them and hanging something red near it. So he cut down a small plastic container, put a bit of honey and water in it and hung it from the awning so that it seemed part of the yellow briar. But a red ribbon on the awning has not yet attracted the bird or her mate. It may be that they do not care for the processing done by bees! Lucy suggested a red frill around the container. xwtxi opa Avg 44.w Stag/ *AN Watching a flock of various kinds of sparrows feeding on the only green patch on the lawn, Lucy wondered why they suddenly flew in a body to a very small greenish part in the middle of the lawn. Craning her neck to see from her chair in the dining-room she got the answer! A yellow-shafted flicker had alighted on that green patch shaded by the tall cedar hedge and was vigorously searching for ants, There is always a first time and this year it was to see the blue jay drinking from the bird bath, The dry weather •has been hard on the birds as well as drying up vegetables, fruit trees, flowers, etc. Lucy was amused one day while sitting over by the east border to watch sparrows dusting themselves in the loose soil where potatoes had been dug and corn stalks pulled out. One old matron in particular was having a lovely time sending the sandy soil flying out of a hole. Then she'd pause long enough to look up as it were over the edge of a dug-out to see how the others were faring, or if a cat might be creeping up on them, Mrs, Helene Hucaluk instructed representatives from Adastral Park, Clinton, Chesley, Exeter, Goderich, Seaforth and Kincardine.
