"THE TIME OF THE SINGING
OF Birds"

In a treasured volume are found
the words of spring time:
"The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing of birds is
come,
And the voice Of the turtle-dove is
heard in our land"
(Song of Songs 2:12)
By those who live in Henderson it
seems that the thought may be ap-
.propriated without violence, for the
love of the beautiful and care for
that which adds appreciation to daily
living. have long held the attention
of those who in more recent days
have. watched the town set apart as
a "Bird Sanctuary" Hillsides with
inviting shade, avenues of trees along
which to drive, parks in which one
may lOll at ease, or play to his
hearts content, and enhancing gar
dens everywhere give tone to the
sensibilities of business people, add
charm to the city's appearance, and
create joyous restfulness.
By no means least in the setting is
the attention given bird-life in Hen
derson. The Bird Club properly re-
ceives the support Of Garden Clubs,
Boy and Girl Scouts, the schools, the
churches, and numerous individuals
whose eyes detect the spots on the
breast of the thrasher, the brown lus-
ter of the yellow tipped wing of the
cedar bird, and the delicate colors
of the gold finch. Henderson must
continue to grow in appreciation of
that higher appeal to sight and sound
under the inspiration of the activities
of those, young and old, who call our
attention to that which may be seen
by all, as they remind us to listen
keenly, even as we are stirred by
the appeal of "Hoosier poet'::
''There is ever a song somewhere.
my dear;
There is ever a something sings
always:
There's the song of the lark when
the skies are clear,
And the song of the thrush when
the skies are gray.
The sunshine showers across the
grain,
And the bluebird thrills in the or
chard tree;
And in and out, when the caves drip
rain,
The swallows are twittering cease
lessly."

 SHIP TROUBLES
mi-PdrdIysis in Marine Circles df San Fran
 tiseo, Oakland

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24-Bay shipping today has been thrown into a state of mi-paralysis due to a labor dispute between water front employers and dock checkers loading and unloading most of the ships in San Francisco and Oak land.
 Picket lines appeared along tho waterfront and a series of confer ences have been called between em- ployer and labor groups to plot out the next move.
 The exact extent of the tieup and possible consequences awaited the outcome of meetings of both em. ployers and labor groups. It was agreed that the dispute is locai- ized and that it will not spread to other ports.
 The paralysis began at o'clock this morning when the employers edict refused employment to check CTS until the union withdrew picket lines at the Encinal Terminal at Oakland. The two groups reached a stalemate argument over how to settle the differences over which of the two contracts to enforce.

REPRESENTATIVES FLOODING ALONG,
 COMP E N 5AT|0N
Forty-page Bill Occupying Men of House in Dry
 Session Today

Dull day" expresses activities of the House of Representatives today.
 That body convened at Il o'clock this forenoon after a heavy session yesterday and listened to the min utes of the previous day being read for nearly an hour, whereupon, be- cause of the press of committee work, the House was recessed until 1:3O o'clock this afternoon.
 When work picked up again after lunch, House bill l8, the Habitual Criminal bill, was continued in se- cond reading, as were the appropri- ations bill and the Department of Labor and Mines measure.
 Next on the calendar was House bill 87, for amendments, repeals, and general rewrite of compulsory Workmean's Compensation Act, a measure 40 pages long.
 Representative Karl Drager, at torney of the House, nominated to that position unofficially and with out consideration because he is the sole lawyer of the lower body. baked
 He suggested the measure be ad- vanced to third reading and passed to the Senate, baldly stating There are three lawyers in the Senate, who with their friends, enjoy amending even minor House bills. Let them take care of this one.'
 Representative Walker, charging that the Senate had in a previous session tabled a similar measure without even reading it, after a House Committee had worked three weeks on it." urged the measure be dealt with in the House.
 Drager withdrew his motion and Legislators waded deeper into the ponderous tome that sets up num- Der of scaled benefits for injuries and deaths.
 At three o'clock, amendment was still proceeding, only seven pages in- to the forty.
