AS Father Norris happily puts
1t: ITS not pennies from

from the long friendship be-

months ago. While the parish

acre tract Of land with a rec

a church or school.
First Goal Defined
"A school-auditorium to pro-
vide claSsrooms and space for |

The church building itself can
wait awhile. he adds.

almost insurmountable task, |
the pastor says. Until Johnny

If you received package OF

some or harvested pecans from
your own trees, you may want to
shell and store the INTO keep their
fine flavor.
Pecans like other nuts keep
better in the shell than shelled,
but the shelled nuts or meats"
take only half as much space and
are convenient for immediate use.
For easy Smelling, mix " cup
of salt to 3 quarts of water in an
enamel, glass or earthenware or
wood container. Soak pecans in
the water over night and drain. A
to hour soaking is required.
Crack the pecans carefully and
shell. Your favorite cracker will
do the job, and the nut meats will
come out WHOLE with a little
care.
After you have finished the
Smelling, sort the pecans and dis
card any discolored or imperfect
nuts. Spread nuts out to dry in
warm place. The oven at $50 de-
grees F with the door slightly ajar
is a good place. But be careful;
do not scorch the nuts.
Now, let them COOL For freez-
ing, pack in vapor-moisture- proof
containers. For home use, you may
find it convenient to pack one
cup of nut meats in each pint bag;
or put two cups in each pint con-
tainer or four in quart container
Be sure you press out all air

The PARASITES OF BIRDS

Birds have many problems to
solve in their struggle for exist
ence. Among the more important
ones is the fight against diseases.
Birds generally are frail and in
many instances have only slight
resistance to disease organisms.
But in spite of the odds against
their health, they have been able
to survive on the earth since the
latter half of the tertiary period,
which, it is believed by many pal
eontologists, was 10000, 900 years
ago.
With a survival period of this
great age, there must be consid-
cradle ability to resist the vicissi-
tudes that normally beset them.
In this expanse of time, many spe-
cies have appeared and disappear
ed at different times and places.
At least 787 species have left evil
dence of their life here through
fossils. No doubt there were many
other forms that lived and disap-
peared without leaving any marks
of any kind as evidence of their
existence.
Since the changes in the earth
and the life that inhabits it come
about through natural causes, we
may logically assume that all for
mer species disappeared as re-
suit of one or more of these
causes. Among the causes that
could have exterminated any spe-
cies might be epizootic diseases,
increase in numbers of their pre-
dators, disappearance of food sup
ply, lack of suitable environment,
changing climatic factors, and
others. These factors today cause
considerable fluctuation in our
avian population.
Since these factors can exert a
profound influence on birds, they
are worthy of some consideration.
We are inclined to devote our at
tention to the more pleasant as
poets of bird life. By understand
ing their problems, we might be
of more service to them and
through them, improve our own
| environment.
Ectoparasites
Several studies have been made
on various species Of birds, in
Guiding song birds, game birds,
waterfowl and domesticated fowl
to determine the kind and num-
Der of ectoparasites and their eff
fects on their hosts. Ectoparasites
live on the skin or feathers of
birds. They are easily found and
usually are large enough to be
seen without the aid of lenses.
They are arthropods, including at
| least three orders of insects and
