From the southern tip of South
America nOrthward, birds are on
the move winging their way to-
ward favorite nesting grounds.
In their flight north, numerous
species will pause to rest and
feed about our lawns and gar
dels. some will be content to
stay and nest if they can find the
three essentials for their sur
Vival cover, food and water.
Most birds travel at night. re-
serving the daylight hours to re-

northbound migrants is the male
red-winged blackbird, arriving as
far north as New England by the
last week in February. The fe-
male follows in about two weeks,
and shortly thereafter the large

of redwings seek and defend a

Yeor-End Trend Keeps
Stock Prices Irregular

NEW YORK, Nov. 28 (AP) -
The stock market continued to
boil with activity early this az
ternoon. but without getting
anywhere.
Heavy trading and a late tape
left most prices up or down a
fraction. and generally a small
one at that. The influence of
year-end tax transactions such
as profit taking and selling to
establish losses continued to
outweigh a generally favorable
business and market outlook.
Even another gain in living
costs. with a simultaneous rise
in Spendable earnings and buy
ing power Of factory workers,
failed to move the market from
the irregular course it has pur-
sued for the past week or more.
Brokers said there was nothing
to be done until the storm of
tax transactions has blown it
self out.
Few changes of a point or
more were recorded by leading
issues although Sears Roebuck
fell nearly 2 points, Zenith pad
ded its gain to more than a
point and Great Western FL
