Birds and Beasts
Perish During. Ice
Storm Michigan

Detroit. Mar. 21-The humani-
tartan impulses of the peoples of
Michigan have never been better OK
emplified than during the recent
storm when the wild animal life OF
the entire state was threatened with
extinction Nv the sleet and ice that
covered the ground for days.
Despite the heroic measures taken
by the people of the northern part
of the state, the storm was SO severe
that 1t is feared that on the western
side years will be required to replace
birds and beasts lost and starved.
Talk is already being heard of asking
the next legislature to tighten the
game laws for a long number of
birds altogether.
The stories of the hardships volun-
tarily shouldercd by the citizens of
northern Michigan in order that
their friends Of the air and the for
csts might defeat the forces of ma
ture that sought to stamp them out,
are just beginning to come into De
troit Countless instances are record
ed OF the self-sacrifce of these
northern Michigan folk who forgot
their own comforts to minister to the
things that usually receive but Scant
attention.
When the ice king descended upon
the district he lCft behind a coating
of ice through which bird claws and
beaks could Lot break to reach the
natural food underneath. Deer and
other animals. Usually able to scrapc
away the snow with their hoofs and
gain sustcnancc found their effort
baked by the icy barrier. ,Thc
birds and beasts were unable to find
food on trees and bushes because
they, like the earth. Wecr cnCrustcd
with the ice mantle.
Although farmers and townspcople
alike rallied to the coll and placed
food where it could he reached
quickly by the suffering inhabitants
of the woods. the task was SO great
and the need so urgent that thou
sands of birds and animals are
known to have died by starvation le-
fore aid could he taken to them.
Hundreds of dead partridEes and
small animals have been found in
the Pctoskey district Near Cadillac
the number that starved was even
greater, according to reports. be
cause birds found buds of bushes and
trees completely coated with ice.
