A blot on the fair escutchiOn
of Milford's welfare work is
the present lack of interest in
the current Red Cross cam
paign. All of the surrounding
areas have completed the work
and the familiar phrase of
"Over the top" has been writ
ten about the accomplishment
of it. With the great need for
more and more money, the
wards in our prosperous town
have not nearly come up to the
quota which has been set for
Milford. With every turn Of
the radio, and with every ap-
pearance Of personalities on
the television, each pleads for
more funds for the food strick-
en- areas of the middle states
of our country. Some incOnse-
quental excuses have been
given by those who would
avoid contributing, some so
petty they are not worthy of
repetition. The need here and in
Korea is real. and pressing and
there must be help given in
all quarters. if we are to con-
tinue with our humanitarian
ism.

ESTIMATE OF INCOME AND
EXPENDITURES YEAR 1852
1888 As PREPARED By
FINANCE COMMITTEE
TOWN OF NRANGELL
Evening star., 1952-01-08
Now It's official

Coming as it does on the heels of Senator
Lodges New Hampshire primary announcement,
the statement from General Eisenhower cannot
be classed as a surprise.
Senator Lodge is an old hand at the political
game. He would hardly have announced that he
was entering General Eisenhower's name in the
primary unless he had firm assurance that the
general was not going to repudiate him, and
thereby leave Senator Lodge out in the cold
political winds. The Eisenhower statement, how
ever, serves the desirable purpose of removing
all doubt
In essence, he is available He will not do
anything to seek the nomination, but If he is
the Republican choice in July he will come back
to this country and run as the G. o. P. presi-
dental candidate. Meanwhile, he is going to
stick to his job in Western Europe and await
the "clear-cut CALI W. .~sr
This, in the circumstances, is about all that
General Eisenhower could have said There is
no assurance that he will get the nomination,
for Senator Taft has been hard at work in the
political hay fields and undoubtedly has sub
Stantial lead at this time. Thus, the NATO
chief was faced with choice between asking
to be relieved of his important assignment in
Europe to come back here and campaign for an
uncertain political prize, or of sticking to his
post and awaiting a draft The decision that
he made, purely political considerations aside
was the right one, and it reflects favorably on
him. genuine political draft however, Is a rare
creature II it is to be forthcoming, the EiSen-
mower hackers have their work cut out for them

Zoning Victory at WoodIey

The long-continued controversy over the
rezoning of a part of the old Woodley estate is
over. Requests for the zoning change, which
If granted would have permitted erection of
apartment houses in an A-restricted area have
been withdrawn. The property has been sold to
developer who plans the erection of detached
residences. The Zoning Commission had twice
ruled against the change and might have
reached that decision without the protesting
testimony of the owners of the surrounding
property. But that testimony must have been
an important factor It's preparation and deliv-
cry, arranged by the protesting citizens at the
zoning hearings is a good illustration of the
effectiveness of citizen organization in the pro-
lection of community. 1t is the best safe
guard against the breakdown of zoning. The
citizens are to be congratulated on worthwhile
victory.

Feeding the wild things that come to
the suburban garden in the cold does not
take great variety.
Seeds. bread and raisins-
These about do it, with some little
thought given to supplying water in the
cold.
When snow and ice, and particularly
the latter, completely cover the ground,
it is sometimes very hard for birds and
small animals to find anything to drink.
Birds .eat snow crystals, but the ami
mails are not so inclined, and sometimes
suffer in this way. They could all be
easily helped by no more than pan of
warm water put out in the yard.
This is one of the. easiest and best
things to do, and all it takes is an old pan
or large saucer, and some thought.
Put the pan of water where the birds
can see it, but not too near the feeding
place.
If the sun is shining, it is best to put
the pan in the sun, of course and to
replenish it after about an hour.
If there are established bird baths,
these should be cleaned out, and kept
filled in the cold. 1t is not always easy
to do this, but it helps considerably If it
can be done.
Too often householders never think of
their bird baths in winter. but this is the
very time the birds need water, because
the cold and wind dry it up in natural
snall pools and puddles.
Evening star., 1952-01-08
This and That

Almost any sort of seeds can be used,
but those especially processed for bird
feeding are best.
They are, too, rather expensive, so it is
possible to mix with them some chicken
food, commonly called baby chick feed,
or plain chicken feed. These are not
liked so well by song birds, but most of
them will eat it if driven to it, and If it is
mixed with some sunflower seed. they
will search through the mixture for the
latter. and in doing so eat some of the
other. now and then.
Every household has some bread left
over.
This dry bread, just as long as it is not
mouldy, serves the birds well in the cold.
It may be moistened with milk or water
before being put out.
Raisins are liked by cardinals, song
sparrows, and especially by mocking-
birds. The sharp click, click. click Of
this bird. staying with us, means call
for raisins. in particular, although he
will eat bread, sometimes, and cake, too.
This might seem to some waste, but
fine mocker is worth slice Of cake. now
and then.
An apple cut in two also may be
offered.
ANY old cereals, kept so long that they
have worms and "millers' In them, are
fine for the birds.
The more "bugs" and worms in cereal.
the better for them.
