 The Press: IF is easier to suggest ways of Identifying our town than to say quickly. six tim es, Stafford is 8 truly rural place Some things can be improved by being let alone Many years ago stood on the bridge at the Holllow watching little dipper duck disp5rt itself in the water A mum, Der of school boys saw it; the duck became more froliosome. seemingly pleased to entertain it's audience on ths bank. But alas some of the boys ran to their homes for guns, and in 8 few minutes the poor little duck was dead on the grass A few weeks later a beautiful blue heron sailed over the vii1lge and aligh:ed in a near the river News of it's arrival soon spread, the gunners went out, and about an hour after it's ar- rival the heron was killed. We who live in the country haya to go to the pity if we want to see these birds. Two years ago visited a manufactur- Ing town in the old country, and was Invited to go to the river in the even- Ing and see the swans My friend and myself sat on an iron seat, provided by the town council. There are a number of these forms. as they are callsd. placed about the town in suit able locations h a short time two fine swans rounded abend in the river How pretty they did look; they seemed quite fearless. There were also a number of wild ducks in sight I inquired how the swans came, and was told no one knew where they came from The town council voted to care for them as long as they re- mained gue:ts of the town. The stork does visit occasionally, and we know how to receive him But what shall wa do if pair of swans pay us a visit? Yours truly, A
