JOY AT BRIGHTWATERS
Good Nature Restored with the
Coming of Goslings.

To the intense delight Of children and
nursemaids. who spend these sunny spring
davs about the lakes Of Brightwaters'
and TO the equally great interest OF tho
older folks. a pair OF semi-domesticated
Wild Canada geese. belonging TO & +.
Ackerson, one of the officers of the 7. T..
Ackerson Company. one morning early
this week became the proud parents or
six fuzzy yellow little Canada goslinss
Great was the rejoicing among the resi-
dents of the lakes section when the parent
birds led their young TO the margin OF
Nosrekca Lake one morning for their
first swim. At that moment ended a
siege Of the roads surrounding the lak7
that had lasted for more than month";
during the greater part of which time the
road was closed to traffic.
Early in April the two ganders of the
flock suddenly lost their perennial good
nature and became savage. They chased
children and grown-ups indiscriminately.
few after passing vehicles. npped ths
employees Of BHghtWaters and turned tno
neighborhood of their domlciles into
wilderness. This all began when the fe-
males began 10 lay, and continued with
out interruption until the first brood
hatched last week. on the lower lake the
second female Is still setting on fve eggs.
which are due 10 hatch within few days
In the mean time. all roads at Bright
waters lead TO Mirror Lake and the lawn
Of the c. F. Ackerson home, where the
young brood and their parents spend their
days.
With the arrival OF the young the gan
der became OF normal temper again, 50
far as his former human friends are con.
cerned, but the second day that the new
babies were on the water he trounced
the two white swans that also live on the
lakes and merely came along TO pay
neighborly call upon the doting parents.
The nesting of the two families OF
geese afforded an interesting nature les
son to the residents of the lakes section.
During the period OF incubation the males
and females covered the eggs, taking
turn and turn about TO feed and rest
each being as keen on the trail OF an In
uuder as the other though the males
were stronger to defend the nest and
more belligerent in that defence.
A year ago II was believed that the
geese were about TO nest. and an in.
closure was contrived on the shore Of the
lake, and in IL shelter houses were con-
structed. The geese were corralled, but
under confinement failed to breed, so this
year no attempt was made TO assist them
Left to themselves, they chose nesting
cites in the grass and bushes at the mar
gin OF the lake. and under the watchful
care Of their owner and the gardening
force Of Brghtyaters have been secure.

store at Heeia, was deferred.
P.sF. Ryan notified the board that
