Mrs. H. G. E. Crosby sighted a.pair of red-winged black-
jjdtek■' on Cameron Street on March 31. They were singing
nierriiljZ.' ■ -i
On March 28, Mrs. Robert Blair heard thq Bluebird,
Singing but couldn’t locate lit. Later her husband saw it.
The Bluebirds are missing the holes in fthe old straight
rail fences and ithe old apple trees for nesting.
Lucy hopes that boxes will be erected to.provide accom
modation for this gentle pretty bird. Once so numerous on
the scene, (they have,, all but disappeared.
The house, rustic in appearance, should’have an opening
-of D/z” and be erected pn a pole 8 to 12 feet above the
ground in open areas. Bluebirds seem to prefer large terri
tories so boxes should not -be erected too close, to each other.
Like the robin, the Bluebird shuns the deep forest. He
prefers open country, roadside trees, orchards, trees in cities
and towns, and cut over woodlands with, plenty of Mow
trees .for nesting. t; . •
A mated’pair may place its loose grass riesit in an aband
oned'woodpecker hole. Suitable accommodations are in great
' demand apd the Bluebirds must compete, aggressively with
.house wrens, house sparrows’ and starlings, Fortunately they
will readily settle into nest boxes.
The female incubates the four to six bluish-white eggs for
about 12 ’days. The male takes charge of the. fledglings, feed
ing them and teaching them to feed themselves, while his mate
is busy renovating the hursexty or building a new one for a
second brood. , ,
Young Bluebirds, have moiise-gray backs and spotted
white, breasts; only a tinge of dull blues.on the Wings and
fail gives a hint of the brighter colors to develop in the adult
, bird.
Bluebirds pore over the ground for grasshoppers and
beetles. They dart about foliage hunting flying insects and
caterpillars. From trees and bushes, they pick berries and
other fruit. • z
In early autumn they fly about the, country in. families,
and then join other families for a leisurely trip south.
In prematurely mild weather they are apt to fly north
too soon. Many are killed by slee’it and ice storms. An entire
Small flock has been known to take refuge in an old tree
.hole and freeze to death. . <(
Conservationalis,ts have been .alarmed of late years by the
virtual disappearance of the Bluebird. Amongst reasons .al
ready noted, they cite insecticides and growing competition
from starlings.
The Bluebird is used as the insignia of the Canadian
Arthritis and' Rheumatism Society. And it is the state bird
of New York and Missouri. , :
The friendly little chickadee, with us all year, will nest in
a handmade box, too, provided it is of the right type. They

The Bible Today
Complete Bibles were pub
lished 'ill 1966 for the first time
in three languages, all of them
African—a reflection of the
growing maturity of the Church
in that continent. The lan
guages* are Lugbara (spoken in
Congo and Uganda), Obeteja
(Congo) and Sango (Congo and
Central African Republic).,
With tribal feelings runnning
high in Africa, it is rare for an
African language to increase
rapidly in importance. But
Sango is an exception. Original
ly the language of a small
group living in the ‘ Central
African Republic, it is now
spoken qlso in Congo, -and is
spreading further laifietd. Even
beforb publication, -firm orders
had been placed for 14,250 of
the first edition of 15,000 copies
of the Sango Bible.
The three* new Bibles bring
the total of languages which
have the complete Bible to 240.
They are spoken by at least
90% of the worlds population.
During 1966, 29 tribes had
the first portion of Scriptures
translated into t'heir language,
most of them small groups of
people in inaccessible regions oif
Central and South America.
Having special
meeting, pf Huron Presbytery
of , the .United Church hh* April
5in, Clinton, X Was quite teter-*
ested In .the 11 p.m. hews over
CKNX that night., .
It was. ■steted that ‘'Jtqteri
P.resbytery .of the , United
Church voted to join Perth
Presbytery/’
How little was said and bow
much was omitted!
Since I didn’t Recognize any
CKNX reporter there I think
I would be correct1 in conclud
ing that seme member of Pres
bytery reported to CKNX.
To have been technically cor
rect, the statement should have
been ’Huron Presbytery- re
quested London Conference to
amalgamate Huron and Perth
Presbyteries.”
To have been morally correct
it should have been stated that
jess than half of those attend
ing thez meeting voted for the
motion and one voted against
and the rest were “blowing in
the wind”.
Having attended so many
farm organization meetings,
tlijs abstention from voting was'
amazing. • »
I went'to .the meeting with
an open mind on the question
and not too greatly concerned
as the notice, of meeting simply
stated that the question was to
be discussed. Howevex* I found
that within fifteen minutes of
the opening of the meeting, the
executive had already presented
a motion, which they had pre
viously drafted, requesting the
amalgamation.
I think- anyone' who knows
me would agree that I am not
opposed to change but I am op
posed to change without reason.
It was -for this reaiten that I
voted , against the motion. , •
I .asked for information as to
the ^advantages of the1 amalga
mation.. The chairman stated
that it would mean a bigger
■Presbytery with better commit
tees and bigger Presbytery pro
jects'.
This answer really meant
■nothing to me so I asked how
the committees would be better
•and what bigger Presbytery
projects were in view?
‘There seemed to be consider
able consternation that anyone
, would ask pointed questions buit
finally a couple ofministers
tjiat " there/ weren't
enough members .pi Presbytery
to man the committees without
duplication. One of them was
on four committees.
I then asked for the mumbiey
pf committees and both of the
ministers were .suddenly silent.
After considerable confusion by
several speakers making' ye-
rnarks on different subjects’ the
secretary gave the number
which I didn’t hear distinctly,
so that evening I called my
own minister and was told that
there were 15 committees. He
also commented that some of
these wore ..name only and
didn’t1 seem th have anything to
do.
Since there were 73 members
out to the last regular Presby
tery meeting in February, I
can’t see the need for duplica
tions.
The ’only Presbytery project
that was mentioned as needing
improvement was the Presby
tery Camps, Goderich and one
in Perth.
It was reported that ithe
Perth camp was quite small
and in very bad state of repair.
One minister stated that it was
on the verge of being condemn
ed.
I remembered from going
over the financial statement of
the Goderich Camp that the
revenue from Presbytery Camps
Was less than $6,000 while the
returns from “rental” Camps
was over $6,000 jso I asked
what was meant by Presbytery
Camps and rental Camps.
The Superintendent of the
Goderich Camp stated in no un
certain terms that he would
not answer my question in the
meeting and liif I wanted the
information I would have to
see him afterwards.
I wanted the information so
went to him' after the meeting
and confirmed what I already
expected. Presbytery Oamps are
those,sponsored by Presbytery
of United Church Children and
young people while rental
Catnips are camps sponsored by
organizations outside the United
Church.
other words, United
J. Corl Hemingway
Church organizations use the
Goderich .Camp about half thie
•ayaVabie time. The regt, bf the
time. . it‘ is & Commercial Camp
for other .Interests. I have no
objection to renting the camp
to gibers when we don't need
it but I don't think it should be
necessary for-file United Church
people to make gpants totalling
oyer $9,500 as 'they did last
year |o expand oqimp. facilities
for commercial purposes.
While I'm not happy with the
operation of Presbytery it is
educational. I have almost con
cluded that too many ministers
have mistaken the railroad
whistle for the call of the Spirit
and I think I now have a much
better understanding of wlhat
our Master meant ‘by the word
“Pharisee”.
Backache
ft ? .■ ■ ' .*•■ I ■’/
The common backache suffer
ed by many housewives is not
a disease, ..but a result of poor
posture while doing housework
and other things, says the Can
adian Medical Association. . ■
The poor posture involved is
not that of failing * to stand up
straight, but that of the sway-
backed stance dr lordosis, This
can be corrected through prop
er stance and during resit.
The C.M.A. advises sufferers
to sleep on a firm bed, curled
up on the side in the foetal
position. If. pain persists in this
position, sleep on the back with
the head on two pillows and the
knees flexed over /two or more
pillows placed crosisiways, pre
ferably rolled in a cylindrical
shape.
It is recommended to take
daytime rests in a Similar pos
ition as often as possible, break
ing up long periods of activity
into many short ones. The cor
recting. effect of this procedure
will soon, ibe realized.
The strain of standing still
can be greatly eased by placing
one foot on a chair while stoop
ing slightly, and resting an el
bow ' on the elevated knee. Do
not lift anything without bend
ing the knees, and do not treat
a sore back with exercise.
