It is 1 a feeling of satisfaction which produces a cer- tain cheeriness that we note these migrants comi back. Some of us even bel ¢ that we have for- gotten the robin, or that if we aw an oriole we shouldn't recognize the species, And in more than instance has this 'stateme proved true, al- though th latterally men- tioned not returned as yet. | i the col of it h hi d that a hardy robin will v a locality if food is plent shelter handy.

Bond and Simcoe nest shows that it likes the local- ity and wishes to bring up its young there. A bird usually rears two broods each summer in one nest, the first hatching about the latter part of May or in early June and the other in August. Who has not watched with envy the mother carefully protecting or feeding the young bird? This is a privilege of the children of today. True enough, our younger years were spent in roaming the woods or playing in the haymow, and how often we would seek out the different bird homes to see how the eggs were coming along. And how we hide our faces now when we thing of that particular time when we could not satisfy ourselves with only looking at the nest, We rea- lize the carelessness on our parts when we took the egg and didn't think at the time tual we were taking the life of one of our most helpful friends. Year after year millions of dol- lars of crops are spoiled by in- sect "infestation. Think of the in- crease in this figure if our feath- ered creafures were destroyed, Their value alone to us is far toc eaormous ty even think of taking one life. Wiaen we think of shoot. ing the crow or any other injuri- ous bird pest, we dort think this without a respect for the ones which it destroys. The law gives us the privilege to shoot the crow, which takes it upon itself the di- vine right to be a scavenger and slayer of smaller birds. About this time of year, no date being accurate, one may expect the robin back. The blue-bird will not take "long in making up its mind to change its winter address also and about the latter part of April will also make its appear- ance in the fields, generally i'n flocks, and giving vent to its feels ings with its quaint littia whistle, The meadow lark will soon re-ap- pear in the meadows, and hiding behind some turf, offer its glory to (God at the return of Spring and whistling its well-known song, "I see you--yQqu can't see me."

This arti- cle must have appeared im the wrong edition for this fair and gaudy creature returns very late in the Spring. Possibly this bird was mistaken for the grosbeak, which is more or less of a winter bird or even at the most, an early arrival. The red splashes on its breast might easily have been tak- en for the scarlet and orange of the oriole, These two species are high perchers and their colors are deceiving at long ranges. Blackbirds, the purple, grackles and crows are soon to come again to Canada. Even these shunned creatures are welcomed after a long winter without them, and the harsh "cawk" of the crow and liquid notes of the grackle are really look- ed upon as music. Watch out for these Spring ar- rivals and make notes of their ap- pearances. No more innocent amusement, nor arduous study can give such satisfaction as this hob- by of the bird lover. DISPLAY OF SEED APPEARS IN STORES Preparations Are Made for Trade Prior to Spring Planting Bowmanville, March vearly appearance of cartons of seeds in local grocery stores has taken place. Many are already planning what they are going to plant in the back garden, or the field or the vacant lot, Some have chosen thelr seeds and are taking advantage of the full containers at the stores to select and buy their packages before the general rusa on seeds starts. Ahout the time that one mer- chant commences to arranges his attractive cases and advertising matter, other salesmen catch the disease, and soon all the windows have their only duly inspected seeds on display. The seed display is ons of the nicest that is shown the year round. Probably color is the attractive ad- vertising matter. Many s:eds with hrightly glowing packages are piled in large cartons which in their turn are also well decorated. Painted pictures of flowers of all species adorn the boxes of seeds and scenes of soft green lawns are lithograph- ed on covers of grass seed, It will not he long before the sun will be waking the tillers of tha soil at five o'clock in the morn- ing with the call for early rising to hegin plowing and seeding nper- ations. Soon will the Spring come with a vengeance bringing warmth to the soil which will make the grains grow and encouraze the clo- ver to show its sprouts, but enough of that, time will take its ennrse, and we musn't rush the season, 20.--The LITERARY SOCIETY TO HOLD ANOTHER SPLENDID PROGRAM (By Bowmanville, Staff Reporter) March 20,--The High School Literary Society are holding another open meeting at the Assembly Hall of the schnol on Friday afternoon. This time the third year are presenting their talent in various channels and no doubt have a splendid program up their sleeves. These programs, while necessary in the curriculum of the Society are highly interest- ing and at the same time instruc- tive because of the varied line of entertainment and the medium through which the talent is dizplay- ed. - GRADS PASS THROUGH (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 20.--The Varsity Grads who have just re- turned to Canada after winning for themselves a prominent place in the Olympic games at St. Maurice, Switzerland, passed Moritz, Switzerland, passed through Bowmanville on the daily flyer at four o'clock today. Much inter- est was taken by local sportsmen in the train, and a number of young people were down at the sta- tion to view the famous Grads. A FIXED EASTER A Bill has been introduced into the British House of Commons to stabilize Easter. The proposed day is the Sunday after the second Sat- stead "of ranging over a period of about six weeks. Easter Sunday would always fall between April 9 and 16. The Home Secretary stated that lay opinion at home and abroad is in favor of a fixed Easter. The International Chamber of Com- merce, the League of Nations Com- mittee and railway companies give it their support. Representatives of all the Churches have stated that no point of dogma js involved, and that, provided it were proved to be for the convenience of the peo- ple, the Churches would not be likely to oppose. The scholastic profession also favors the proposal. There seems then mo reason why, where once the bill is passed, the Government should not take the necessary steps to secure the defin- ite concurrence of the religious bodies in England and on the Con- tinent. One objectio was raised-- that a late Easter was nearly al- ways rainy, and that the period April 9 to 16 was one: peculiarly liable to rain and cold. But in a climate so accustomed to flout meteorological culculations the House evidently thought they might as well take the risk. Western styles in dress are tak- ing the place of the narrow cot- ton shawl ip Siam.
