It gave her hope that there was more warm weather to come! ■She has watched the-bird migrations. For a while flocks pf wihiitp throat and white crowned sparrows rested and feci hpre on their way eouth, "Mr” also identified the Fox sparrow. Lucy saw one first, perched on the edge of the bird bath, Its perky tai and reddish brown colour in flight attracted her at” tentipn but she couldn’t isee well enough to .identify it. What a time they all had splashing together! Just "sparrows” but is is intriguing to give them their proper names, About a month ago, there wasn’t even a house sparrow to be seen at "The But” for several days. Lucy remarked on it, and. wondered why. The robins had gone, she felt, bu,t had the cat birds gone? Mrs, J, E. Howard had- seen them at her place she learned. Then "Mr.” solved ithe mystery .He saw a movement in Bell’s cherry tree opposite the kitchen window. Looking more closely, he spied a pigeon hawk, It was ap­ parently watching there for the chickadees and Downy Wood­ peckers to come to the feeding station —- or a nice plump house sparrow! A car drove up the street and Pigeon Hawk took off in a hurry. Next day the birds appeared at "The Hut” although there seemed to be a nervous tension, amongst the young house sparrows. ■ . The cardinals which nested here, (haven’t been around for some time, They have probably gone to better feeding grounds. A.lady in Seaforth told Lucy in August about cardinals in her garden, A sunflower came up near the feeding station in a tulip bed and was allowed to grow. It grew to a great height with a tremendous head. Then a bad windstorm came and blew this 'top-heavy plant over. It hit the ground with such a thud that half toe seeds were knocked out. The cardinals soon discovered them and had a feast. Then they proceeded to hang onto toe edge of the head, and twist themselves around in amusing fashions to extract the remainder of toe seeds . from the head. • 6,- Mrs. J. E. Howard reported a small flock of olive backed thrush at her place last week. She saw one quite close to the' house and as she watched, it and five or six others flew to nearby shrubbery., J - "Mr.” saw a magnolia warbler one day recently. And on Monday,morning a pair of Northern robins looked over newly spread fop soil on the lawn for worms. Reports of the long lines of blackbirds and others following ,the shore-line, have come to Lucy’s ears for toe past' two weeks. But last week Harold Bell heard geese going south. They were flying so high that they were obscured by a cloud. ■ This and toe fact that there was a large flock of crows and smaller birds seen passing over Bayfiqld on Saturday leads one to think that maybe we are in for a spell of wintry- weather. One contra-indication was a Monarch butterfly sighted in the garden the same day. Mrs. Charles Bell says that a sun dog which she saw on Friday is a warning of bad weather. Mrs. J. E. Howard states these phenomena have been observed frequently all month. With the sun shining brightly on coloured leaves at the time of writing, one forgets about toe wintry blast for the time -being! • . Towards the end of November last year there was a great deal of rain and very high winds. Mrs.’ Carson Fawcett looked out of her window across ploughed fields at toe farm home near Kippen where she was residing then and saw a large white bird flying around low over the field. She sent toe children, Nancy and David, out to see what was causing its behaviour. They returned and re­ ported a brown bird on the .ground. Mrs. Fawcett has a great sympathy for wild life in dis­ tress, thus her curiosity was whetted. The ploughed field, from her description, resembled som- ytoat toe land at' the scene of the recent ploughing match at Seaforth. So she put on her husband’s rubber boots and took David with her (they almost got stuck in the mud). The male bird hovered over toe female on the ground ' as if trying to coax her to join him, and flew around them in a threatening manner as they approached. When they got about ten feet from the bird on land, she attempted to fly but seemed too weak to rise in the wind, but they could see that her legs and wings were not injured. And since toe male with a wingspread of about two feet, was determined to pro-1' teat his mate, they dragged themselves back through toe mud. When Carson Fawcett came home, he said they were gulls. His wife (toe former Margaret MacLeod) said that she’d been raised in Bayfield and knew gulls. They looked like ducks to her but not any she’d seen. The male’s neck was longer and bill slightly different. She figured that toe pair had been_ blown off icourse in the high winds and were trying to get' back to toe lake when the female became exhausted -battling the air currents, and dropped down. Next morning they had gone. From Margaret’s description it first appeared to her and Lucy to have been a Western. Grebes, but then they are all black „and white and this female was brownish and so toe cuts of the American Merganser and toe details supplied by Petersen’s Field Guide to toe Birds, seemed to fit this pair of birds better. The Mergansers are saw-billed, fishing ducks. "Mr.” shot one once and attempted to cook* it. The smell of fish was so rank that he couldn’t eat it, and it was a problem to rid toe vessel in which it was cooked of the fishy" odour.

I don’t agree with the speaker, but I found the following, corning from a big advertising man, the most refreshing statement I’ve' read for many a day: "The simple truth is that people don’t give, a damn about advertising. They never have and they' dever will . . . People don’t care about ad- . vertising, they care about things. “They care about things that make them happy or beautiful or fat or sober or drunk or alive or human; things that entertain them, transport them, enrich them, protect them or profit them. But they don’t give a tup­ penny damn about ads.” , A melancholy picture of the human race. Do you a- gree? . * LONDESBORO MRS.
