Rev. H. V. , Workman, Of
Northside United Church,
Speaks At School Literary
Society.
NEW ORDER MEANS
CHANCE FOR ALL
At the regular meeting of the Strat-
ford Normal School Literary Society,
held on Friday afternoon, Rev. H. V.
Workman, miniater of Northside Unit-
ed Church; Seaforth, and father of
one of this year's Normal class, was
the guest apeaker.
Mr. Workman referred very happily
to his year at Normal School in Ham-
ilton, when: the late Dr., Silcox was a
master there, for part` of the term,
leaving to come to Stratford Normal,
He felt that he had received more in
that year than in any other year of
bis school life.
"You are at a stage in life tremend-
ously important, - probably more im-
portant than ever "in the history of
our 'country," the sneaker said. "We,
who have the traditions of the United
Nations have cherished freedom. We
have talked democracy but we have
never lived it to 'the full. In the New
Order, according to men's ithinking,
the average person is going tohave a
chance, is going to mean much more
in the order of society, as democracy
becomes a;der, democracy than we
have ever' known." He stressed the
fact that the generation of pupils
whom the students will have the priv-
ilege to educate will see this new or-
der when it comes into being and
that the direction they will give to
these boys and girls will enable them
to become students so that we will
realize in time the meaning of that
word "education." Only when a per-
son ds mature is he educated, or un-
educated, the speaker said. "I wish
you , well and trust that in a few
months you will go • for't'h' from this
place smiling, ready to meet the pup-
ils in the schools waiting for you. We
have a . great chance to make them
good citizens," Mr.' Workman said in
closing.
Don Lawless' ,expressed the pleasure
of the students in having Mr. 'Work-
man with them and thanked him for
his splendid talk. The students were
also pleased to. have Mrs. Workman
as their guest for the afternoon.

Eagle Man Has
Narrow Escape
The Tampa, Florida, Tribune of
February 23rd, relates• the follo'w'ing
interesting story about a former Sea -
forth boy, C. L. Broley, Mr. Broley
is a son of the late Rev. Mr. (Broley;
a former, pastor of ' the Methodist
church in Seaforth, where he receiv-
ed his early education:
"C. L. Broley, Tampa's "eagle man,"
had his closest. escape in, all' his ' years
of bird -banding the other day.
He nearly fell from a -40 -foot -high
eagle nest near Punta Gorda as a
half-grown eagle attacked him. -
He still bears scars on his head and
left hand where the young bird sank
talons.
"It was my awn fault," Broley said.
"I've learned how to handle the birds
without injury to them or me,. but
this time I was• a title too confident.
"Before . I knew it, the eagle had
labbed`its talon clear through .sire
flesh of my hand. 1 tried to pull it
out with the pliers, and I had no idea
an eagle could be •so. strong. I couldn't
pull it out.
"The pain was so ,great and I was
working desperately so that I care-
lessly lowered my bead. In a flash
the eagle had grabbed my head with
his other talons. ' One sank into my
nose and the others cut into my ahead.
"The 'talons didn't sink deep in my
head though, as the skull stopped
them, and I was able to pull ,the bind
off. How the talon got out of .my
hard then, I'll never know. It just
came ,out." .
Although weak and in great pain,
Broley went ahead and held .the bins
down while 'the put the aluminum Au-
dubon band around the eagle's leg.
After climbing down . his rope lad-
rer; Broley rested fora half-hour be-
fore attempting to return. He ear
ies a first aid kit with him, so was
able to treat his own wounds.
Broley found 37 new eagle nests
along the Florida West Coast this
year, but found that 18 others had
beet lost because of timbering and,
forest fires. -
He found one eaglet that had been
attacked apparently by a wildcat, from
clawmarks on the tree. He left the
bird in the nest however, as it 'seem-'
ed to be getting along all right, and
would learn to use one leg as well as
if it 'had two.
In the last month he has banded
94 young eaglets, and stili plans an-
other trip .into the field before return-
ing to Toronto, Canada, his summer
home.
Broley has s•peeializefd in banding
eagles because little is' known about
their migratory • habits. Although in
his sixties, be climbs 50 and 60 -foot
trees with agility to find the huge
eagle ' nest's.
"I found one nest this season that
shows the eagles are saving scrap
too," be said. "The bird had purloin-
ed somebody's rubber boot."
