to officials of the Fish and Wildlife
Service, United States Department
of the Interior With summer va
cations under way, youngsters are
apt to take out the old BIB gun or

said, and parents are urged to warn
their children not to shoot the
feathered creatures.
aside from the fact that song
birds make a garden or farm more
attractive" one official explained,
"the birds are economically impor-
tant."
Many of the birds are beneficial
because they eat insects that other
wise would be injurious to plants

Even the much-maligned startling

of the food-habits of the European
startling shows that some 429o of
its diet consists of insects, nearly
half of which are beetles.

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

The safe operation of a motor
vehicle depends upon the person
driving it. If the driver recog-
nizes dangers as he approaches
them, he can control his. driving so
as to avoid accident. However, il
a driver is paying more attention
to the scenery than the road, he
probably will not observe road
signs and will not be alert to such
factors as his. approach to a curve.
Because his mind and thoughts are
taken up with the scenery, the
sign does not register with him.
The result is that he does not re-
duce his speed and his car goes off
the road.
The Delaware Safety Council
says a drivers attention is often
distracted from his driving by
buildings, advertisements, scenery
or activity along the highway, by
conversations with passengers re-
garding subjects not related to
driving, and sometimes by the pass
engers themselves. His mind may
be occupied by thoughts of bust
ness. work, home. family or other
such matters and sometimes by a
program he may hear over his car
radio.
Any failure to recognize and un-
derstand changing conditions leaves
the driver unprepared to take what
ever action is necessary to avoid
accident.
In analyzing accidents to deter
mine causes, it is possible by OBJ
servations to determine the con-
dition of the car, the highway and
the driver; but it has seldom been
possible to learn how much of the
drivers thoughts and attention
have been given to his driving. AL
though distraction or lack of atten-
tion is unquestionably a major
cause of accidents, analyses do not {
point this out and sufficient atten- l
ton has not been given this mat {
ter.
Learning to direct full attention s
to the highway. the car and the {
acts of driving is learning to save
lives and prevent injuries. Safe y
driving is challenge to the full a
attention of every driver and is i'm Q
possible without 1t. @
Safe driving is full-time job. {

Tense program at their meetings in
June.
The topic Building Stfong Am
orleans" is being demonstrated al
each club meeting by the leaders
from the group, who attended the
training meeting given by Mrs,
Helen Mckinley recently. A feature
of each program is the exhibit of
foods necessary for one person for
one week to insure adequate nu-
triton. The proper amounts of
milk, fruits, vegetables, meats and
cereals that would be needed to
provide varied and well balanced
menus for one week will be as
sembled at the meetings and meals

ings are being reminded that nu-
triton is a phase of the defense
