Feed the snow birds and other feath
cred species of the north as well as the
pigeons A North Main street man who
was sweeping out his door yard this
morning uncovered number of snow
birds frozen rigidly. Probably hunger
contributed to their untimely deaths, for
bird forage is at a premium nowadays
searcer, in fact, than ii has been in many
a winter season. A few days ago a we'll
known Massachusetts ornithologist sent
out an appeal in behalf of winter birds.
His letter was published in a number OF
state papers and there is a likelihood
that il had the effect of stimulating sym.
patty for the birds. The birds are hav-
ing a high-cost-o living struggle of their
own, and the appeal of Winthrop Pack
ard, who sent out the appeal, should be
widely needed.
