County in western Minnesota draws many bird watchers from the Twin Cities to witness a unique and thrilling spectacle, The marshes in this region afford an- nual resting and feeding stations for from ten to two hundred thousand of the great birds on their way from the Gulf of Mex- ico to the arctic tundra where they breed, For a few spring days the Skies are laced with the long, wedge-shaped strings of flying birds, and the marshes are filled with the rustling and beat- ing of wings, and the honking of many voices. Against a vivid sunset sky the orderly concen- tration of flying birds, and the swooping and alighting in dark- ening marshland can be a sight to remember all one's life. After a few days the handsome birds vanish as mysteriously as thye come. How they return to the South in the fall is, not cer- tainly known, but, like the gold- en plover, they probably make a nonstop flight down the East coast to the Gulf, Certainly there is no concentration in the fall comparable to the mass flights of the spring. Sometimes a stray wedge of geese will fly over the Twin Cities, but the wild ducks are seen much more commonly near urban areas than are the wild geese, In fact many wild, ducks have become tame residents of the city lakes, On Lake Cornelia, in a newly settled area near Southdale in Minneapolis, the property owners began to feed and tame the wild ducks that came to the lake... Now the area is almost overrun by affection- ate mallards and canvasbacks which nest at the edge of the rose gardens and tramp, quack- ing and scolding, across the lawns to solicit food at the kitchen door. The. ducks enjoy the life of ease so much that they would rather not bother to fly South for the winter. Last winter an interested ob- server reported to the newspaper that he had seen on Lake Harriet not only hundreds of mallards and canvasbacks but American goldeneyes, black ducks, gad- walls, redheads, and blue bills swimming around in water which was kept open by body heat and constant motion, while the ice on parts of the lake was several inches thick, Residents of the area provided bushels of shelled corn and even shoveled paths through the snow to make life easier for their wild friends, — From "The Twin Cities," by Carol Brink, Q. Can you suggest a decorat- ing idea that will help to "lower" an old-fashioned, high-ceilinged room? A. You can make the ceiling in this room appear lower if you'll paint the walls a dark color, the ceiling a very light or white. MERRY MENAGERIE "Albert wants to be a subMaxiiie!"

Last year club officials enlarg- ed the course and took the 14 acres back.

"What direction would straight ahead be?" is the question, Family Fuss In Southern Church The Rev. Dr, Ramsey Pollards former president of the 9.7 mil- lion - member Southern Baptist Convention, has come out strong against liquor ("I'd like to kick the liquor business into hell") and the "Pope of Rome" ("I will never believe what (he) says about goodwill and brotherhood until I see some evidences of it, in countries where the Roman Catholic Church is .dominant"). He has even censured fellow Baptist and former President Harry Truman for his occasional profanities, "He ought to be 'turn- ed out of his church unless he repents of his sin," said Dr. lard. But last month Dr. Pollard came close to being turned out of his church, the 9,000-odd, member Bellevue Baptist, the SBC's second biggest, with a $3, millions block-square-plua struc- ttire,iii Memphis, Tenn. The ac tusallons against the pastor in the family fuss ranged from fail, tire to provide spiritual leader- ship to smoking an occasional cigar. The trouble, which has been building up ever slice Dr. E01- lard took over Bellevue twenty months ago, came to an acrimo- nious but orderly head following services earlier last month.

FARM HELP WANTED — MALE Snowstorms Don't"- Keep On Schedule One, particularly in Maine, should never presume about the weather, It may well happen that by the time I have penned this lament, and sealed it in an envelope, I'll have to wade chest-deep in new-fallen snow to mail it, But in late years nothing like that has happened, and -there has definitely been a thinning down of our Christmas climate. Along about the second week in December the spirit moves me, and I draw an edge on the ax and wander up into the woods after o u r Christmas greens, I first did this in the days of -horse, when we'd startle the beast, who hadn't done any- thing since the turnips were in, by leading him forth to be at- plained one speaker, maintaining that to call on Dr. Pollard in his office was like dropping in on a tycoon. Some.accused Dr, Pol- lard of ignoring democratic pro- cedure, neglecting the sick, and tongue-lashing the congregation from the pulpit. Others claimed that membership was falling. Many, however, rose to defend their pastor in terms of love and admiration. The vote to retain him in his $15,000 post was far from un- animous (1,100 to 808), but neith- er this nor the charges, which he flatly denied, seemed to flurry the 58-year-old minister. The question of spiritual leadership, said Dr. Pollard, was clearly a matter of opinion. "You can't serve a man," he added, "unless he wants to be close enough to you to be served." He admitted that some members have left the church, but he pointed out that more (1,300) had come in. "There's always a shuffling when .you change pastors," he explain- ed,- pointing out that his popular predecessor, the Rev. Robert G. \Lee, had led Bellevue for some 30 years. - By the weekend it looked as though the members of the big family had made up. "Members of Bellevue Baptist Church," said a statement from all hands, "have resolved their problems in the democratic process by which all Baptist churches solve their difficulties. Leaders of both sides have pledged themselves to close ranks and present a united effort behind the church program." As for the cigar question, said Dr. Pollard: "No comment."

He thought he was going to take things easy all winter, and the first thing he knew- he "had a jingle-bell on his Names and was off in gay holiday spirit with a pack of youngsters calling the plays. By the time my own children were joining this we had a trac- tor, but otherwise the errand was the same. But what I wanted to say is that we always did this with considerable snow on the ground. Enough for the pung, and often with the tractor we'd have to break a road where the drifts were deepest with a shovel. The snow would pack up under the housing and the wheels would spin, and we'd drive back and forth,, two-three times to tread things down. Right now, by contrast, the ground isn't even frozen. There are places in the wood road I'd have to skirt wet spots that dry out in summer and freeze over in winter. Spring and fall we don't go that way much, so I've never tried to haul in rocks. A Q. How can I remove grease or oil stains from wallpaper? A. Make a paste of cornstarch and water, apply, let remain on until dry, then brush off. If this doesn't work to your satisfaction, try a paste of fuller's earth and carbon tetrachloride. Use in the same manner. Q. How can I preserve soft rubber goods? A. Suspend these articles, or rest them on a rack, several inches from the bottom of their enclosure, in which place a small quantity of kerosene, The vapor will prevent cracking without in- juring the rubber. Q. TIM can I keep the bright bands of metal on my kitchen sink and counters from staining my apron black? • A. By touching up these metal bands with some colorless lac- quer, or with colorless fingernail polish. Q. How can I mix a wallpaper paste? A. Add one tablespoon of pow- dered alum to one quart of water. Sift flour into the water, stirring constantly, until it has acquired the consistency of dough. Then pour in boiling water until the paste turns; then dilute to the desired consistency. if a little creosote or carbolic acid is add- ed, it will prevent decomposi- tion, PECAN MEATS—New crop, bulk prices: Extra large halves, $1.10 lb, 30-pound cases, FOB Camp Hill.

A worm fancier told me one time that if I'd follow his practices a few worms would quickly remedy this swampy condition, but I'm no hand to lay out work for others. So, from long ago we'd rig in mittens, boots and earlappers, usually taking the snowshoes. The air would be crisp and sharp, and we'd churn up over' the hill and down through the hardwood to the black growth beyond. In the really older days I fear there was a utilitarian complexion to this, for fence posts were in demand. A Christ- mas tree and a few garlands "made the excuse, and permitted frivolity, but the farm could al- ways use a pile of fir poles any- way. I still bring back all the poles I can, because they fl are still use- ful, but the tree itself is the mo- tivating purpose now. Around amongst the pines and hemlocks and spruces we'd hunt out the firs, known also as balsams, and the best and bushiest was to adorn our hearthside. We'd al- ways get a half dozen or so be- sides, to hand to friends, and over the years certain friends have made a habit of this. We stand them in the dooryard, and if they don't like what we've cut they can borrow the ax and go get their own. The fir is a fast-growing tree, not too val-, uable as either pulpwood or tim- ber, and it's. good for pineland to thin them out. Then we always cut some big- ger firs, lop the limbs off, and bring the tips back for gar- lands and wreaths. Some years we've joined the commercializ- ed aspects and sold such, al- though I always felt making wreaths was a slow way to get rich. After lopping off the limbs we'd bring the pole home — if you don't use it for a fence post, a prop, a pry, you can al- ways saw it into stovewoOd. So, we'd wander around in the snow, and whenever we drove the ax into a tret the shock would loosen all the ,snow on the limbs, and we'd get a shower. Right: now the firs are standing up there as snowless as they were last August, and I can't feel exactly Christmasy without the shrieks that, in former years, went up as the snow came down. As I cut the limbs off the down tree, the children would carry the, branches to the trailer, and afterward they would grab on and help me bring out the pole. A green fir trunk, even if not too big, can be quite heavy, so While I took the thing a-balance in the middle they would pick up each end, and the way lever- age workS I would be carrying the whole thing. Once in a while, naturally, I would sag off, leav- ing them with the whole weight, and they'd go doWn in the snow, log and all, and accuse me of guile. There isn't much I think of that makes more fun than gathering greens with the young- Sters. doubt we could get all we wanted in an hour, arid be home, but we had to make the job last through dinnertime.
