NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

The worth of people of Scandinavian
ing last week in the Saskatoon Star
Phoenix. 1t appears that a CORE
spondent of this paper had visited the
northwestern section of Canada to
study conditions there, and in writing
about the results of his observations,
he waxed enthusiastic over the sue
cess attained by natives of Denmark,
Norway, Sweden and Iceland who had
come across the ocean to make their
home i'm North America.
1T is the Scandinavian who has
played the big part in northern life
in recent years." the writer said.
These are the men who have founded
homes. and found better than mere
living in the north. From the Hudson
Bay to the Rockies they are to be
places. You have to hand it to these
people. They can get on. and they
seem always to be firmly resolved
that they will not give up, no matter
what difficulties and perplexities may
face them.
A newspaper in the United States
which reprints these paragraphs, adds
one of its own:
What is here said about the Scan
dinavians in Canada, may be just as
truthfully said about that same sturdy
race of men here in our own country"

An Old Bird

The life of the average bird or
animal is comparatively short
compared with many other COM
mon species of life in the world
but this has not held true in the
case of a parrot owned by Miss
Gabrielle Desander living with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
Desander, southeast of Sandstone.
Whether the exceptional care the
bird has had while in the Desan-
der family has caused it to attain
it's longevity or whether it just
naturally aspired to be Methus-
elah is not definitely known but the
former is conceded. The bird
has seen four generations of the
family come and go but has sur
vived the tides of life and has
reached the age of more than one
hundred years.
To look at the parrot one would
think it was still young, since it
is very alert and has a fine plum
age covering it's body 1t is of a
green color with red tail and wing
feathers, yellow and blue head
trimmings. 1t has lived in three
European countries, France, Bel
GUM and Holland and is of a
very proud disposition, and fire.
quently if praised can be induced
to sing or talk either French or
Flemish. 1t also expects prompt
service at meal time, otherwise
his command is heard.
The parrot, together with a
mate which died soon after ar
rival, were brought to America
by the Desanders twenty-five years
ago and seems to have many more
years of life at his disposal.
