As look at 'those cards hanging by the score on three sort of clotheslines mad for them on the 'north' wall of the dining-reom, and still—more covering the bookcases of the study and. the furniture of the dining -room, it makes me proud and glad that ,they represent, in many caees, friends who give me he gift - of -their unfniling friendship through the years.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR T() ALL! BATS, IN OUR BELFRIES This. -is the time .tif year when mam- mal experts at the Royal (nitario Museum expect to hear outcries from citizens of the Province that they.have encountered bats, in their attics' or cellars. The species they find on cap- ture is the Big Brown bat, which used to hibernate in caves, but in our cities may pick olf almost any dark and sheltered spot.' Then the proverbial January thaw' may warm him up a bit, and stir him to aqivity. Most other species of Canadiau bats move to warmer climates in the U.S.A. during winter. Such a mild spell may bring .6ut other mammals as well, the groundhog, the chipmunk or the skunk. The latter's wavering track across the snow is kequently seen in January: - When no -thaws soften -winter's Icy blasts, the deer have a particularly hard time cf it. They find deep snow difficult to navigate, andin their search for food they are forced to confine themselves to small areas which they beat *down into deep paths. This prac- tice gave rise to the term deer "yard- ing." . The black or grey squirrel is* ,un- troubled by cold and snow, for now is the time when he can..,literallv neap the fruits of hiS saintlier and fall in- dustry. Many of his nuts he 'buried singly, but he can find -them, even under three or four feet of snow—probably by scent. ,• ST. HELENS .ST. HELENS,.
