MT. LAKE PARK
Wild weather with wilder winds
and there doesn't seem much left in
the weather mans bag of tricks 10
show US. The last few weeks have
been real old-time winter Even the
birds and squirrels began to look sorta
discouraged. Perhaps that was due to
the fact that it has been difficult to
get to the feeding stations. We fear
those we feed might have Jared badly
the last few days had it not been for
the timely rations brought by Wiley
yelling through the courtesy of the
district game warden. Several people
received corn for this purpose. We
could not quite see how this would
Eelp our bird friends but it was ex
planned that after the squirrels had
taken their part of the corn there re-
manned softer portion for the use OF
the feathered population. This with a
bit OF suet fastened to the tree or put
in a hanging container and few
bread crumbs scattered seems to take
care Of their wants.
We hear of people seeing many
robins in the vicinity. Well, we have
only met one, and even he has disap-
peared during the late bad weather
But there's a goodly number of blue
jays, sparrows, nut matches and black
birds which are with us always.
There is talk of a citizens meet
ing or group to discuss matters of
civic interest. One subject to be dis
cussed will be regarding a town bailihf
or police. Several instances have been
reported where it would have seemed
q good idea to have an officer around.
One case in point is that happening a
few nights ago at the home of the
j. P. McWilliams'. Mrs. McWilliams
was alone in the house at the time
which was around eight o'clock. A lad
coming up the hill past the house
noticed man perched upon a can of
some proportions peering into the
windows The man ran and the boy
gave chase. He notified Mrs. McWil-
Hams and call to a neighbor brought
Investigations which proved the lads
story to be correct. Things like this
happen every so often, as well as
other petty annoyances. So maybe
there should be some claw man., Just
in case.
