Now that the sun is warming up the countryside, and drying off the land, the birds again return to take up summer residence in Canada, Although a number of blackbirds have been reported before, great flocks of them are continually seen in this neighborhood. Crows are again taking to the meadows and pastures, and even though they are $25,000 condemned to death even before they arrive, it is a welcome sight to see them around again, Cowbirds are arriving ia muwm- bers and have dome so for a few weeks past. These birds, too, have a questionable character and as a Tule are not encouraged to live im community on account of thelr ES . habits of their eggs in the mest of smaller birds and leaving them for the mother bird of the nest to bring to maturity, As a general rule, no warblers are reported back. These timid songsters are partial to warm eli- mates and usually remain until the Yast few days before 1 sum- mer to return, However, the hardy little Myrtle Warbler, a streaked yellow and brown bird with black markings on the breast, is ome of the first warblers to come back, and is generally followed by the Black and White Warbler, quite noticeable for its prominent black and white stripes covering the en- tive body. e warblers ave a community's most beneficial birds, Reward for the capture, dead or alive, of Peter Blake, South Sea trader and adventurer, wanted for the murder of Thomas Murchison, For detailed description see The DEVIL'S MANTLE By Frank L, Packard in the THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES Those birds which are legally and a menace to the bene- ficial of the community are the crow, the English Sparrow, the Sparrow Hawk, the blue jay, the cowbird, the blackbird, ROAD CONDITIONS ARE INPROVED Extensive Paving Program Planned in Bowmanville This Year (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Aprll 17.--Al- though there still remain a num- ber of country roads which are not considered open to automobile traf- fie, the general condition of the roads in this vicinity is reported as somewhat improved. Many cars have been deeply mired during the rainy season when the frost is com- ing out of the ground and during that time the roads around Bow- manville were among the worst to be found, The air, although windy and cool, 1s just exactly what was need- ed to dry up the moisture and bring out the frost, However, there will be a certain amount of frost in the ground every night until real warm weather arrives, when a like- ly repetition of bad roads will be caused. It is hoped that this will be in a very slight degree, however, The paving program in Bowman- ville is considerably extensive for the 1928 season. A number of back streets, besides a few main roads, are to be paved and as a re- sult trafic to the paints where be- fore it was practically impossible to go, will be both increased and bet- ter. Work on new drains approved at ing laid where the council deemed necessary, which will take care of much hg sii A We toads besides a Senora 1 benefit t them.
