way fatalities and prevent a recur-
renee of the alarming number OF
deaths and accidents such as occur

"a recent survey conducted by
the International Association OF
Police Chiefs in the United States
and Canada revealed that one car
in every three examined had one
or more mechanical defects that
| we've hazardous to safety" MI. Ellis
| said. "a large percentage of our
highway accidents r caused by
mechanical defects and by lack Of
| observance of traffic regulations and
safe driving habits"
Mr.. Ellis points out that, accord
ing to the Police Chiefs survey
the mechanical defects in order OF
their frequency were as follows
real and stop lights; front lights.
brakes; windshield wipers; horns
and tires. These defects accounted
for eighty per cent of the total dis
covered in the cars checked. The
survey also revealed that the ca
sons for police contact with motor

light violations, right-of-way viola

: Montgomery Sidelights :
BY ELSIE WHITE HAINES

That bird shelf right up against
the window pane was gift of the
man of the house about three years
ago--if one sits very quietly in the
chair the birds feed without fear,
for the vines and the two thick
nesses of glass-inside and storm
window-keep the birds from see
ing the person sitting within two
feet of them. Seen through the
glass even the sparrows take on
an added beauty. Sunflower seeds
are put on the shelf daily in win
ter. Titmice, chickadees and the
cardinals are fond of these. In
summer we put out no food-and
the summer birds live on insects
and weed seed. eT
Parent birds, in rearing their
offspring, perform almost unbe-
1lievable feats of food-fetching. We
were interested TO read an Audi
bon. Magazine story Which told of
mother wren whose feeding trips
to her babies were carefully count
ed between dawn and sunset of one
day she fed the babies 1,217
timesl Our observations would i'm
dictate that papa wren made at
least halt, of those, trips-he really
works, and often is roundly scold-
ed by Mrs. Wren - poor @"hen-
pecked" male that he is. -, rs VS.
May we recommend that you
start clump of untrimmed lilac
bushes for the catbiids n put up
nesting boxes-make little bird
sanctuary somewhere on your
grounds for real pleasure-and for
profit too.

ginning for a project well worth
expanding"
In each grade from the seventh

homeroom team. Through compe-
titive rounds the senior high boys
and girls teams were both in the
tenth grade. In the junior high the

pionship titles.
Two plaques were donated by
the Girls Athletic Association and

girls teams in the junior and SEN
Tor high, and on the other, the win
ming boys teams.
Spring intramurals will consist

FOR, 10! the winter is past, the
rain is over and gone; the flowers,
appear on the earth; the time of
the singing of birds is come, and
the voice of the turtle is heard in
our land"
We think of these words from
thesSong of Solomon every time we
hear the mournful coo of the pair
of turtle doves which have lived
in our trees for several years.
From observing the pair we have
learned why they have so much
time to sit on our porch roof with
their heads together. They are the
most careless housekeepers.
Doves raise three or four broods
in a summer. Their nest is COM
posed of handful of twigs thrown
loosely together = the eggs often
roll out or fall through and a high
wind usually blows the nest, away.
They just move on to another
spot--they build new nest for
each brood. This year they have
started next door in a nest built
under Gordon Keys Window q "eii
April ssBird Month-every day
Should ibe Bird Day on the, farm,
butte call attention,to the need for
bird protection the second Friday
in April is designated as Bird Day.
1t comes this year on Friday, 9Th.
More than 35 years ago the
Farm Journal established the Lib
erty Bell Bird Club with the motto,
Protect Our Feathered Friends"
Since that time, almost a million,
persons have signed the clubs
pledge and promised to study and
protect all song and insectivorous
birds.
Birds are interesting and beau
tiful and their study is fascinat-
ing pastime, but to farmers the
birds are not only interesting they
are indispensable. Every farmer
knows that much of the time the
bugs have the best of it. For the
last few years we have had pow
erful weapon in DOT, but the fact
remains that in the war on insects
we must still depend chiefly on our
old allies, the wild birds. Birds are
bug eaters and without them we
should be soon overwhelmed and
starve to death, DOT or no DOT.
Now is the time birdhouses
should be put up : they are not
particularly attracted to fancy
houses but want safety and COM
fort. Swinging houses with no
perches are good when English
sparrows are troublesome. A bird
bath is one of the best ways of
attracting birds. We have a sub
stantial one, built almost twenty
years ago, used by the birds both
summer and winter. In winter wa
ter is placed in cans and set in the
bath.
We love our summer birds and
those that stay with us the year
round, but from the birds we feed
in winter at the several stations,
we get the greatest pleasure.
Through French door we look
out on bird bath and large feeder.
Through the front window we see
the mocking bird at his own bas-
ket where we keep apple and raj
sins but the window feeder we
like best.
On our living room wall is a
mirror hung to reflect a crimson
chair placed near west window.
in the window are several glass
shelves, where pieces Of colored
glass sparkle in the sun. Ivy and
philodendron twines around the
frame Of the window and forms a
screen for an outside window sill
feeding station. Almost any time
Of the day one may glimpse the
futtering birds feeding that
forms a picture we can gaze on
for hours.
