lett school in Waldo, is spending the
spring vacation at her home here. Basil
Newell is building some pretty martin
houses this spring. In his opinion the
arrival of pair of bluebirds on March
18th signifies that warmer weather is at
hand ''For," he says, 'the bluebird is a
sensitive bird and afraid of the cold, and
he also does not venture north until the
grass noppers and insects begin to thaw
out The robins and song sparrows take
chances and can subslst on seeds and
other things, but the bluebird is the real
spring bird"
