This and That
BY Charles E. TroceweN

The term "wildbird" is applied to all
the outdoor species.
Someway or other it fits the cardinals
better than most
Some of them will fly down to hand.
The mocking bird looks in the window, If
one is forgetful of his raisins.
Chickadees will fly to hand, to pick
up seeds.
Cardinals seldom if ever come close.
They are strong, tough, suspicious.
No matter how long one feeds the
birds, these particular beauties end as
suspicious of man as they began.
In this they have not changed one
whit from the cardinals of Colonial days,
when the boys and men with the long
rifles used them as targets.
Some of this wildness of the redbird
is due simply to its strength.
Only a watcher who has held an
injured cardinal in his hand knows how
strong it's muscles are
In fact, ii is impossible to hold this
one for more than few seconds.
If one holds longer, one runs the
risk of injuring the bird.
Unless the creature is almost dead,
it struggles so wildly and fiercely. puts
forth such strength, that it is impos-
sible to hold it.
Many cardinal rescued from hurt
renders 1t impossible for the finder to
help 1t.
Evening star., 1951-01-19

All one can do is let it go.
1t belongs to the finch family, of the
order of perching birds
Buntings, grosbeaks, sparrows and
flnches are the vernacular names ap-
piled to the birds of this group.
Bunting" means plump; s'grosbeak"
means short, thick bill; sparrow" means
futterer. no one seems to know exactly
what finch" means. Our English or
common sparrow is regarded by some
as weaver bird. not true sparrow.
Here we have some of our best birds.
The cardinal is strong partly because
he Is a Dig bird. He is almost 8 inches
long, but more than that, he has
stout neck, thick body. and strong
wings and TAIL
While he is somewhat solitary in
habits most of the year, even turning
away from his mate in spring he softens
Bit and selects sunf1ower seed, which
he proffers her. This is delightful sight.
The nest is carelessly constructed, but
it serves it's purpose. From two to four
eggs are laid. The young cardinals
resemble their mother, and remain with
their parents until the males assume the
typical red coat of the father.
The cardinal is one of the most famous
birds in America, and the fact that 1t
comes to every yard and garden makes
1t better than ever.
Evening star., 1951-01-19
Mr.. Trumon's AHbi

The Presidents complaint that no news
paper carried a correct report Of his press
conference remarks last week concerning his
authority to send troops abroad is pretty thin
The Star has not seen all of the newspaper
reports of that conference, and doubts very much
that Mr.. Truman has. 1t is certainly fact,
however that many papers accurately reported
the Presidents remarks in the sense that they
did not misrepresent what he had said To con-
tend otherwise, as Mr.. Truman has done, Is
unjustified and untrue.
Mr.. Truman has peculiar genius for getting
himself into hot water by making ill-considered
statements. That is an unfortunate failing. The
situation is made worse, however, when the Presi-
dent tries to pass the buck by claiming that the
reporters misrepresented him when, in fact they
did nothing Of the kind
Evening star., 1951-01-19

In a day of rapid growth of Washing
tons suburban areas, one bird still
stands as a sort of symbol.
He u.s. of course, the cardinal.
Our cardinal, to be exact; that is the
way all in nearby Maryland and Virginia
feel about him.
Other birds may come and go. but the
redbird goes on forever, flashing into
hedges, out of bushes, down to feeding
stations.
In his red feathers with his mate
somewhat subdued, but still lovely he
cuts the same old swath he did in
Colonial days.
The redbird is the first at home
feeding station. the last to leave at
dusk.
Long before most other birds, he
drops down to sample seed and grain.
After all other species and specimens
have left, he and his mate fly in to
get last goodnight bite.
Sunf1oWer seed is his favorite.
Plenty of this seed in mixtures, or
handful or two by itself. is guaranteed
to draw cardinals.
Now and then he likes a bite of
suet. but the sunflower seed is, the
universal favorite.
That big bill, sign Of the grosbeaks,
k designed by nature for seed cracking.
