Nature Notes
 From Wolcott
NELLIE THOMAS BADGER


 The first Juncoe's of the season visited us Wednesday. They usual ly arrive just before the severe cold weather begins. With them were a small flock of blue birds and of robins, the later probably gathering together for their fall migration. And so as we greet the returning of our feathered friends of last winter, we say goodbye to those who have been with us dur ing the summer.
 Nature offers so much of life and beauty to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear, that it is well that these eyes and ears be trained to be observant while young. To this purpose I have asked the pupils of the Woodtick school to contribute to Nature Notes. The following are from the pupils of Miss Riat Fitzmaurice.
 One day I was walking in the woods and saw a squirrel chasing a chipmunk for an acorn. The chipmunk ran into a hole which was too small for the squirrel to get into. Tommy ROzdiIski, 8 years old, grade 4.
 Fall is the best season of the year With the frost the leaves begin to change color. The pretty color of the leaves makes the countryside very beautiful. That is when I like to walk in the woods. That is when I find many pretty leaves. Some of these leaves have very odd colorS and shapes. Some people gather these leaves and keep them for long time, The fall is the time of the year that you may o hunting. My daddy goes hunting every year. He takes me with him sometimes. It is fun to walk through the woods and watch far birds. I have seen some pretty birds. There are other kinds of animals in the woods too. like to find a running brook in the woods. The clear cold water tastes so good after I have walked a long way. I like the fall because it is such a cool beautiful season. Betty Jane Andrews, Grade 4.
 I saw seven cock pheasants in my yard. They were frightened by a car. So they ran far into the woods. My father said it is very unusual for seven cock pheasants to be in one group. The cock phcasants have a ring of color around their neck. Veronica Gar vey, Grade 4, WOOdtick School, 9 years old.
 One day I was walkin in the fields and saw pheasant. There was a COW in the field and he buc- ked at the pheasant. I wentN to catch it and 1t flew away. It was a cock pheasant. William Wilcox, Grade 3, eight years old,

Sterilization of Roads
Saves Motorists Money!

Increased safety and lower costs,
both to the motorist and in high
way maintenance, are obtained
through the sterilization of gravel
roads, says Associate Professor Roy
S Swinton, of the University of Mich
igan department of engineering re-
search. In a survey Of wear on
several Michigan highways Profess
sor Swinton discovered that stabili-
cation saved about two-thirds of the
material losses which are so great
on loose, untreated gravel roads.
Sterilization consists of the use of
proper mixtures of soil, moisture
and chemicals in road construction.
In Professor Swinton's survey,
begun in 1885, extensive and con-
tinued examinations were made Of
gravel roads in five Michigan coun-
ties. About 100000 wear readings
were made on these five road Sec
tons. While saving of more than
60 per cent was made on stabilized
roads, Professor Swinton found,
other roads receiving surface treat
ment with calcium chloride had only
about one-half as much material
loss as the untreated roads.
The cost of road sterilization, says
Professor Swinton, is little or no
greater than the maintenance cost
of untreated roads where the loss
of materials is so much greater. In
addition he points out, the stabilized
road is much safer because it is
dustless and has no loose surface.
and at the same time allows greater
speeds which may be counted as q
saving for the motorist.
