IA m EMBEhS OF the oalem woman
N club and a large number of their
Ava friends enjoyed one of the most
interesting, instructive and entertain
ing lectures they had ever been priv
ileged to attend, wnen William l.. Fin
ley, state game warden, delivered an
illustrated talk on "Birds," Saturday
afternoon, which was the third event
scheduled on the l9l4-l5 calendar. The
lecture was notable IN many ways. Mr..
Finley, who is a pleasing and fluent
speaker, thoroughly acquainted with his
subject, held the interest and attention
of his audience from the first to the
last picture and its description. The
lecture took place in the chapel of
the state hospital, Dr. r. f. Lee Steiner,
superintendent Of the instituting, loan
ing the lantern for the reels, and also
asked the regular asylum orchestra to
furnish musical program, which was
much appreciated. All pictures shown
We're Of Oregon birds, the origin, devel-
opment, habitat and peculariarties Of
each being discussed in detail, the
screen showing the entire evolution Of
the varccs species from the egg to the
matIed bird All pictures were taken
by Mr.. Finley and his assistants, wno
annually spend months in the various
regions where the birds are found, max
ing careful and painstaking studies Of
their habits.
Many eXclamatiOns of surprise were
heard as the different types were
thrown on the screen, the entire lee
ture revealing numerous feathered
creatures which had previously been
entirely unheard of.
Interest in our beautiful songster
frienls is gradually increasing, a more
systematic effort for their preservati0n
being noted each year. Educating the
people is generally recognized as tine
best method of enlisting the services OF
supporters in any cause and is the
primal reason for these lectures given
by Mr.. Finley, and it is expected that
the results Of each will be far reach
ing and most satisfactory to those de-
voting their time and services to this
work.
