many apparently dead forms Of nature
unfold before our eyes and burst
into perfect beauty. It Is said that
April is the symbol of life, the month
when the seeming dead Spring into

Now that the outdoors not only
invites you, but tugs at your very
heartstrings, you find so many Of your
old friends returning that you may
need to make list Of those you wish
to see most.
New birds from the South are arriv-
ing every day, some merely stopping
over to refuel and rest, others survey
ing or prospecting for building site
Since you have the life story OF sc
many Of them; what fun to watch
them 70 about their domestic duties
Have you supplied some Of them with
ready-built houses?
Our golden-headed tramp, the
dandelion, will soon be in full glory
over lawns whose owners were sure
they had excavated deep enough to
get all of the famous travellers tap
root.
The grounding and the chipmunk
are almost starved for q mess OF
dandelion greens. Watch how they
select the most tender leaves.
The brooks are very busy these days.
Trout, sunfish, sticklebacks and many
others are building their nests in
sandy spots where the water is shall
low and the debris can be famed
away by father fish.

April.

Revisit your favorite trees toward
the end Of the month. There will
be filny veil over some OF them and
coral mist over the redbuds and
naples.
The marshes hold many surprises.
The frogs are going with leaps and
bounds toward their ancestral pond
or stream. At the edge OF the banks
OF some, the high turret of the craw-
fsh Is in full view.
After a fine shower, the angleworms
fairly swarm out of their Railways
They are the drillers OF the soil, va
eating their tunnels, in order that
the Spring rains may more readily
dow into the ground.
Baby animals are taking delight
In all the things in their new world
Squirrels are so frisky and talkative
they make fuss when you enter their
domain. Mole ridges are In evidence
See how many Of your friends, flowers
trees and birds, you can recognize by
their colors. Use your crayons for
hasty field marks. Who knows but
your desire to put the beautiful colors
and forms on paper is the beginning
Of your career IS q famous artist OF
scientist.
Remember, that while April is q
month packed with activities, it Is
not . marker to May, the high tide
for bird migration.
