Musical screech Owl

A screech owl that seems to enjoy
music is reported by Thomas b.
Smith in Detroit. "Every evening
when we turn ON the RADIO" Smith
said, "the owl comes and perches on
the railing of the front porch and
appears to be listening. AS soon as
we turn the radio off he leaves.
Opening the window doesn't bother
him, but if we open the door he flies
away"

danger Of getting a poison mush-
room in the spring, for gathering
them is as safe as picking straw
berries"
The mushroom season will last
for two or three weeks yet" Henry
said, and tables Of many city fam
lies should be supplied with the
common sponge or Morel variety"
A few warnings for the novice
who starts the quest for mushrooms
were issued by Henry. They are:
l. Never pick mushrooms in shady
places.
2. The novice should avoid wild
mushrooms that have white gtlls
and yellowish top skins.
3. Toadstools, as commonly known,
with ring around the stem and
silky white gills oftentimes are
poisonous, and. although uncom-
mon, should be left alone.
This last variety is said to con-
tain the same alkaloid- as the rattle
snake has in its stinger; con-
sequently, the after effect Of eating
it usually is fatal, Henry warned.
Conjecture as to the cause for
the abundant supply Of mushrooms
this season was advanced by Henry.
He attributes the increase to an
oversupply Of nitrogen in the soil.
Il am inclined to believe that the
dry hot summer and lack Of rain
fall probably might have brought
about the abundance Of mush-
rooms" the county agent declared.

The Oldest Church
This church is said to be the
oldest house of worship in use
on the Eastern Seaboard, and
was the first Quaker meeting
house to be established in Amer
lea.
Recently it came into promi-
nence when the members pro-
tested against the opening of a
swimming pool on the adjoin-
ing property. The objections
were made on the ground that
the revelry and laughter Of the
hathers would interfere with
the silence that is necessary
for worship according to the
Quaker faith.
