The jays are hoar- ing sunflower seeds, so they ust be up on the latest news f shortages and crop failures. hey are preparing for a sun- ower seed shortage which just ight occur this fall. They have undreds ' of seeds tucked curely behind the "roughy ark"- of an old pine tree. The ee is the last one in a long ow of trees that end at the ne of house number 164, We tried to get some seeds ut, but we. couldn't,_ so we ecided that the only way to et them out would be 'to use a arp strong beak of a bluejay or your dad's screwdriver. They are so well hidden in that old tree that you need really good eyes to find them. We fur- ther • examined the old tree, with its "roughy bark" and its "bare skin:' branches and saw many, many holei made by woodpeckers. The holes .were in the trunk just before the branches start and they were in rows round and round and in rows up and down - hundreds of holes! The pine trees were the only trees that had holes in them. The spruce trees had no holes and the maple trees had no woodpecker holes, so we decided that the gum from the pine trees must be the best gum. The children also made in- teresting remarks about the people who live in the houses on Raglan Street. House ex- teriors reflect the personality of the people who live in them; for example the people who live in number 84 must be really nice people because they kept their Christmas tree instead of giving it to the garbage man. The bird. tracks around the tree told us that the birds wait their turn for food by sitting in the Christ- MfecadiPo the 'snow'. in their bare feet. Also, the people are kind people because they had two• feeders for the birds instead of the usual one. One feeder had suet in it and the other one had seed feed, so the birds had a choice of food. At the front steps, the man of the house had made little houses for two baby trees, to keep the snow off the trees. And in the front window we saw real live yellow flowers that looked like spring. All of these reasons tell us that the people inside like birds and flowers and trees. The inhabitants of house number 133 are really "lucky ducks" because they have a cir- cle drive where you could ride your bike in the summer time, if you had one. Also, the big old trees on the lawn would make lots of shade in the summer time and in the winter time they make homes for chickadeeing birds. In the 35 minute trip out of our classroom, we saw two chickadees, one bluejay, a robin's nest, an oriole's nest, part of a wasp nest, that looked like an upside-down bird's nest, moss on tree trunks, lots of sparrows and, starlings, little trees, with white bark that looked like paper, a horse and cutter on the race track, dog and cat tracks in' the snow, people tracks and all kinds of car tracks, a dead bird, four bird feeders and a bird house. On returning to our classroom, we made an ex- perience chart and a booklet with each child contributing an illustrated page. The title we chose for our booklet was Looking, Listening and Lear- ning. We also made a bulletin board display on which are hung an oriole's nest and a robin's nest, pictures of a bluejay and chickadees and our experience chart. Many in- teresting lessons develop from short trips •out of classroom, of which the children would otherwise be unaware. The regular monthly meeting of the Women's Auxiliary to the Clinton Public Hospital was held in the hospital board room on Monday, March 4 at 10 a.m. In February the auxiliary provided cart service to patients and provided Valen- tine tray favours which were made by Wesley-Willis Sunday School. The current membership drive is in full swing. All mem- bers are welcome to our meetings, The Fashion Show presented by the boutique of the Victorian Inn, Stratford was an excep- tional success. The auxiliary wishes to thank all who con- tributed.
