BIRDS TO ENJOY THEIR
CHRISTMAS FRIDAY
Tree Decorated TO Birds Taste
Will Feature Clubs
Program.

The South Bend Bird club has
arranged for a Christmas tree for
the BIRDS in one of the trees in the
rear of the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. /. IL. Unruh, 336 w. Navarro
St This location has been chosen
as the most desirable as there is
plenty of water near and because Of
the fact that 40 different kinds of
birds have been seen visiting at this
place.
The celebration will be held Fri
day afternoon at 4 o'clock and the
Madison school pupils will join with
the Bird club in making contribu-
tons for the birds 1t is hoped that
more schools viii take part in the
affair next year.
The tree will be attractively dec
Grated with strings of popcorn and
suet stones, consisting of melted
suet with small seeds. y feeding
table will be placed beneath the
tree, upon which will be found va
rious kinds of seeds, crumbs. crack
ed nuts and numerous other deli
cacies for the birds. In order that
the undesirable bluejays will not be
attracted TO the Christmas tree, suet
has been placed in the nearby trees
fer the larger birds.
