(With excerpts from "The
Bulletin" of the Conservation
Council of Ontario—May, 19604
Considerable attention has
been focused recently on the
preservation of our wildlife as
a renewable natural resource.
April 8 - 14 was officially
named as National Wildlife
Week, and in London on April.
L4, the Federation of Ontario
Naturalists held their annual
conference,
With the onrush of the spring
season and the resultant inter
est of everyone in the awaken-
ing of our great outdoors, it's
timely to discuss the habits of
certain recent feathery arriv-
als to the Canadian scene. The
birds in question are all re-
lated to the lark family, These
are the migratory woodland
creatures that make increas-
ing use of forests, fields, lakes,
and streams while out on a
lark.
These flighty visitors in.clude
many annoying birds: some
comic, some foolish, and some
dangerous.
Bird-watchers of my acquaint-
ance agree that the most com-
mon of the woodland pests is
the Migratory Litterbird. its
range encompasses parks,
campgrounds, highways and
"wilderness areas". Spoor of
this species is evident through-
out the year. It is being con-
sidered as the official bird of
some states and provinces,

naturalists are seldom able to
identify the home nesting
ground of the litterbird, but
there is ample reason to be-
lieve that it must; prefer to rive
in pig pens, barns or garbage
dumps,
One of the most. easily ident-
ified of our woods creatures is
the Red-Eyed Swallower. He
usually has a deservedly short
life and is often ostracized by
better-behaved birds. His cry

resting place on. the ground is
recognized by a collection of
beer or whiskey bottles. It's
those bottles, by the way,
which sometimes start, fires
just es efficiently as a mag-
nifying glass, by catching the
sun's rays.
This brings us to the one.
bird that should he shot on

world over, alerting citizens
of the free countries to the
dengers of underestimating or
ignoring the Com m u n i s t

Dr, Schwartz writes "In the
battle against Communism,
there is no substitute for ec-
eprete, specific knowledge. It
is the purpose of this book to
give that knowledge. The in-
formation contained in it is .es-
sential to survival."
Read this book for "where
there is knowledge there is

McPherson had invited his
friend McTavish to have a
drink. "Say when," he said
hopefully and poured A wee

son poured out another drop.

been known to fly off with

Perhaps the most intolerable
of all the fowl we have to put
up with is Lhe Red-Hatted
Loon. Fortunately, this rare
species is seasonal and does
its damage during a five or six
week period in the fall only.
Biologists have determined that
this loon has to have meat in
order to survive, One of its
more noticeable habits is that
of shooting first and looking
afterwards,

Arthur Blakely, feature wai-.
ter for the Montreal Gazette,
devoted his whole column on
April 12. to the story of the
visit, lie dealt at length with
all aspects of the visit, par-
ticularly the visits to the
schools, with special emphasis
nn the Indian School. Two
short hut interesting para-
graphs from his article are
hereby quoted:
"The Prime Minister's re-
cent pilgrimage to Strathroy is
one that is likely to. be remem-
bered long in that worthy and
historic town and in Ottawa as
"During a round of visits to
schools located in the area, the
prime ministerial party is re-
liably reported 'to have been
whirled along hack country
roads at speeds up to 80 mph.
It is further reported that two
vehicles forming part of the
caravan, taxed up to and past
the limit of their capabilities
by the high speed, were forced
out with mechanical defects of
an unspecified nature."
Where Blakely reports the
rumored speed as 80 miles per
hour. the Vancouver Sun re-
port had the speed up to 90
miles per hour, T can assure
you that l was with the tour
