The Wingham Advance-Times, 1963-07-25, Page 3THE CAMEL BIRD The ostrich is known as the „camel bird" because of the great strides it takes when run- ning. These strides measure irfrom 12 to 15 feet when the ostrich is in full flight and the bird's speed will reach 40 miles per hour. This speed compensates for the ostrich's inability to fly, A female ostrich lays about 15 eggs at a 41r5' time, each egg weighing roughly three pounds and being the equivalent in weight of two dozen hen's eggs. It is claimed that some ostriches have lived for 70 years in cap- tivity.

Over 500 Cadets At Picton Camp CAMP PICTON-*Over 500 boys from across Ontario are gathered in Camp Picton for seven weeks' summer training, exchanging their normal sum- neer wear of bathing suits for khaki shirts and shorts. All are members of the various school and Militia unit Cadet Corps which are part of the army's Central Command. While at camp they will be instructed by members of the Regular Arany, Militia soldiers on summer call -out and Cadet Services of Canada officers. During their seven -weeks' stay the cadets are taught drill, basic rifle training, sports and other subjects of general mili- tary knowledge. During inspection each morning, each cadet is check- ed for personal cleanliness and cleanliness of dress and wea- pons, much the same as the regular force soldiers in whose barracks they live, Their uniform consists of soft cap, open necked khaki shirt, khaki shorts, hose -tops and boots. When they arrived, most were wearing their heavy winter battledress in the near 80 de- gree weather, From now until the 17th of August, Camp Picton will be filled with eager young boys trying to solve the intricacies of the drill manual and the component parts of a rifle. They will be learning the vari- ous subjects that make up the training of a soldier when they are not down at the large "swimming hole" called Lake Ontario, that is. SNAKE•EATING SNAKE The three feet long King Snake of the United States and Mexico likes to feed on other snakes, even poisonous species like rattlesnakes. It also eats lizards, amphibians, small mammals and even turtle eggs. In spite of these ferocious ten- deneies, however, the King Snake is easily tamed and does not resent being handled by humans. Hence, it is popular as a pet (if you like petting a snake), Teeswater Tonight Wingham Hosts an Infer -Club Jitney The Wingham Lawn Bowling Club entertained Teeswater and Lucknow clubs at an inter- club jitney last Thursday eve- ning, There were 64 bowlers.

Howard Pace Belmore, Ontario Did you ever see a bird teaching her fledglings to fly? The busy activity of the mother bird is interesting indeed. There are two little ones, but it is upon one of them that she seems to lavish most of her attention. He can fly only a few feet at a time, but he in- sists on flying toward the water. The other one flies toward the bushes in the nearby field. Every time the wayward little fellow stretches his wings it is to get nearer and nearer to the cold waters of the lake. With screaming and fluttering she tries to get him to go the other way. Finally he is at the water's edge. Then the foolish little fellow starts out toward the water. He insists upon go- ing into danger. The mother flies at him, and striking him with her wings she knocks him into the grass. This little drama from nature could re- mind us of people who are just as foolish as the little bird. It is because there is love in that mother's heart that she flings herself against the body of the little bird. He is un- doubtedly hurt, but to be hurt like that is better by far than to lose his life in the lake. You see, the mother knows the danger. The foolish little bird does not. He had seen nothing but the inside of a nest. The mother has come into contact with the big world of water and trees and hawks and human be- ings. Fathers and mothers are not always cruel and unkind when they seem to be, When day by day they watch their loved ones foolishly running into danger they try their best to stop them. Would it be kindness to allow them to go? Is it not kinder by fat to insist upon obedience now than to allow freedom to go into danger that would hurt beyond repair? Often in the Christian ex- perience we find that the Lord who loves us knows more about the danger places than we know Cubs Enjoy Camp -Out al District Camp BELGRAVE--Camp Martyn, Duane Currie, Brian Jamieson, Inverhuron, was the scene of the annual camp -out for 26 Bel - grave Cubs and their leader, Mrs. Kenneth Wheeler and her assistants, Mrs. Clare Van - Camp, Mrs. Harold Vincent, Mrs. Gordon McBurney, The cubs left on Tuesday, July 16 and returned July 18.

Wingham Advance»Times, Thursday. July 25, 1963 -- Page 3 ourselves, So every once in a while He has to chasten those whom He loves, It is not always punishment because we have done wrong, but many times fie does it to prevent us from running into danger. If we could apply this truth what a difference it would make to our understanding of life. Life is not a heap of un- connected incidents, like a number of links thrown upon the ground. But the links are a chain, and the forging of that chain is in the hand of Him who is shaping aur lives. It is not a blind impersonal chance that rules us. Rather we are being guided by one who lovesand yearns after us with all the longing ofal'ather. To realize this, and to commit our lives to Him, is to have the confidence that "the Lord is my Shepherd," and to know "that all things work together for good to them that love God . " if we, as Christians, would remember the lesson of the little bird it would explain a lot of things that we often misunderstand. Let us not have our eyes so full of tears that we cannot see, or our minds so full of disap- pointments that we cannot understand, or our hearts so full of regrets that we cannot accept this sweet strong mess- age of God's love.
