WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES

w edneSqay afternoon the members
and visitors listened to another Of the
unusually good programs for which
we are becoming noted. Our Native
Birds" was the subject and Mrs Lon
Dickey handled it in d most unique
and effective way. She was assisted
by Mrs. J. L. Frazer who read from
the report of the Dept. of Agriculture
list OF plants and trees that furnish
food for birds; Mrs. S. G. Pryor who
named the various useful native birds
and added some interesting remin s.
cences, and Mr.. Smith of the Kiwanis
Club who gave the report of the De-
partrent OF Agriculture on the Eng
fish Sparrow, to the effect that the
harm the Sparrow does over balances
any good and that it is a menace to
our native birds.
Mrs. Dickey told of the good the
birds are to the farmer and to all of
us and showed the necessity for car
ing for them.
Six boys from each ward school had
been invited to be present and several
more than that came. A more inter-
esting or better behaved group of
small boys could not be found. They
answered questions and took an active
part in the program particularly i'll
filling in the names of the birds in
the Fairy tale Mrs. Dickey told them.
At the close one boy from each ward
was given a trap for catching spar
rows; this boy is to show it to the 9th
ers, and all are to help in getting rid
of the pests Each boy present was CIV
en- a trigger and some grass bands to
help in the work.
The little houses for birds and the
bands to put around the trees to keep
cats and snakes away from the nests
showed how we all can do our part in
caring for the birds we have and Undue
