A catbird calling for raisins becomes
plain peeved when they do not in
stantly appear.
He goes back and forth on the drive
way. at the usual place, saying as
plainly as words, well, why don't
you hurry up?"
The incessant grating noise Of the
starting babies has abated at last.
They are growing up, with the teach
ing of their parents, and their own
physical maturing.
It will not be long now before autumn
Is really here.
Then the migrating birds will begin
to come through, most Of our hooking
birds win leave. all Of the catbirds. the
house wrens and others.
Longest lingering Of the migrators
will be the wood thrushes. These. al
ways tame, viii become their tanest
in middle October, and almost permit
one to touch them. It is their farewell
gift Of the year to us.
A word Of advice to ''birders," silly
word sometimes applied to the friends
Of birds by themselves!
Put more humanity into the consid-
Grafton Of the feathered ones of earth.
Stop thinking of their feathers as pri-
maries. and the like. Think OF them
instead as marvellous clothing. 1T for

win be alive and beautiful long after
mankind has blown itself from the

Dear Sir:
"a few months ago started putting
sunfiower seed on my window for q
pair of cardinals.

1t looks out on tall trees and on 9 wire
where they love to perch and rope

I am convinced that cardinals have
personalities and even temperaments.
1.-THE rainy day recently heard an
unusual squeak. and. looking out. there
was bird called Father perched on
the wire in the pouring rain, grumbling
to himself.
1.-TWO days later a different note
attracted me.
"There was Father on the window
sill with two young daughters. Not
yapping infants. nice little girls. sisters.
side by side, while Father was giving
them an illustration of the art OF crack
ing a seed and letting them extract
the inside for themselves.
Letting my fancy run back two days.
it took only moderate imagination to
translate his grumbling into: Children
ready to leave the nest. and this RANT

tors and 1t Is likely that the French win
bring our latest slogan policy" to its
deserved end.
The problem Of West Germany.
Japan, italy. France and in fact. our
total foreign problem. is that no small
nation can by itself support even a
minute fraction Of the ornaments re-
Quired for its defense without straining
its economy to the point where fascism
or communism emerges from within.
Should these small, nations disarn.
they would thereby achieve healthy
economies and strong free governments.
But without the guarantee of absolute
protection by the United States $4,000
miles away these same nations cannot
resist the infiltration. pressure and sub
version exerted by nearby Russia. and
clearly the United States can never
guarantee the inviolability of every ma
ton in the world outside the Iron
Curtain.
This dilemma and the problem of
world peace are essentially the prob
lem of what to do about unbridled ma
tional sovereignty One hundred and
fifty years ago the United States dis
covered that reckless sovereignty could
be curtailed under just law with q gain
in individual freedom and by extending
this principle to 48 States, we nave ex-
perienced an individual freedom and
well-being never before experienced by
160 million people collectively. It is this
