BEARING OUT Prof. w. H. Berky's
statements that robins who winter
over in Bluffton are not exactly a
rarity, and that seeing robin is no
sure sign of spring, two nature writ
ers had something to say on the mat
ter in area newspapers this week.
Lew K1ewer, Toledo Blade outdoor
editor, known to many Bluffton peo-
pie, said Sunday that thousands of
robins spent January in this area.
Perhaps better sign of spring would
be the first bluebird, for they are
one of the earliestarrivals from the
southland. With them may also be the
redwinged blackbirds, whose sudden
appearance on every fencepost is al
waysa sure sign of spring in these
parts.
The mourning doves are aalso win
tering over in good numbers, MIR.
Klewer writes. Perhaps Bluffton folk
have noticed this. The Herman Hiltys
reported seeing a dove last week on
their farm south of town.
Richard S. Phillips, instructor in
biology in Fndlay Senior high school,
also noted in an item in the Findlay
Republican, Courier Monday that rob-
ins haven't been a good sign of spring
in the last 20 years. He reports see
ing a flock of 26 robins the middle
of last month in the Camp Berry res

Of more than 40 percent in the
September to December period
Last year fires were responsible
for $500 deaths. During the last
ten years residential fires have in
