act TheRt Hon set the trend by consuming the fcood part of a barrel of draft beer between calls to the rist room and enthralled with card tricks Things progressed very smoothly until a brawl erupted in the ladles room and the local constabulary were called to the scene All hell broke loose and tables and bottles went sailing through the air It has long been recognized that man must learn to live in harmony with his natural environment that a delicate ecological web exists in nature balance can be easily upset by actions such as draining a swamp cutting down trees removing natural cover etc Our own observations have borne out changes that happened when Fairy Lake was dredged and the swamp on the north end filled in with silt The swamp was the home for hundreds of red winged blackbirds which nested there raised young and sang shrill to the frogs and other water creatures which made the swamp and that end of the lake a sanctuary Now the swamp is gone and so are the red wing blackbirds rhe distinctive flash of red which makes these blackbirds so distinctive has gone except for a few itinerants birds Filling the area in created other changes too swamp was also a breeding ground for millions of mosquitos and other insects which neirby people never There likely hive been other changes in the ecological balance at this end of the I ike but it is the blackbirds we miss although have been called pests because of their tendency to congregate in large numbers feed on gr crops I wo wildlife workers it the University of Guelph J Hintz M I Dyer have shown by their studies that the have benefitted man iny limes over the amount of gram they consume during the harvest season They found the red wings feed chiefly on insects during the period June to July to August 11 the pcrcentnge of insects in the diet decreased slightly and there wis i intake of weed seeds sm ill gruns and corn During the period August 15 to September although there were still lots of insects to feed on the birds switched their diet to com and weed seeds rom these findings the searchers deduced that Lie red wings reduce the extent of damage to economically important crops by feeding on certain pest species of insects and are an import part of the recently developed agricultural ecosystem in the Lake Fne area Likely the red wings at the northern end of I Like have only gone a few hundred yards further to new nesting breeding grounds However if residents of the area find they have more weeds in their lawns and more insects to contend with this summer the reason is the of red winged blackbirds which used much maligned swamp at the north end of fairy Lake Student cleanups commendable following Decoration service The gates were moved recently from Ransom St to their new

are tired of living and no feared of dying The awakening consciousness of the general public to the need for preservation of natural beauty is reflected in clean being conducted around town by school students They are being educated to appreciate the aesthetic value of areas where there is no junk cluttering up the landscape Students from and high schools have into the School Creek and started on Fairy Lake to help improve the appearance of these natural waterways which always seem to attract more than their shire of Utter and garbage It was amazing the stuff they fished out of the water ranging all the way from boots children toys logged boards pieces of fence wire sticks and limbs of all sizes bottles of every size and shape tin cms Notes and quotes There nothing wrong with teenagers that trying to reason with them won aggravate buckets boxes cartons wrappers and over in one cleanup even yielded the proverbial kitchen sink It is amazing how fast the areas that were
