board of education and 1 the secondary school teachers in the issue of sept 6 it has always been my belief and hope that the press would report facts on both sides not biased reporting as in any dispute there are opposing views where was the view of the teachers in your report your editorial black tuesday was unjust and in poor taste it is this kind of press that makes it even more difficult for teachers and students to interact with good feelings the very positive letter proud to be a teacher was buried on page 23 why most other letters are published on the editorial page please think

ugliest bird in the world byartbriggs- jude returning from a recent trip down ot tawa way my wife and i were surprised to see a huge bird perched near a grove of trees some distance from the roadway thats some big bird she said as i eased the vehicle off the travelled pavement and stopped for a closer look at first the reddish head and neck were hardly discernable but gradually as the black feathered creature changed position it showed enough to make iden tification possible thats the first time ive seen a turkey vulture down on the ground in canada she continued and for the moment i nodded in agreement but sometime later i remembered an in cident that happened a dozen years ago one late afternoon in april 1967 a fleck of turkey vultures made their appeamace along the south shore of lake ontario near port welter from this north entrance to the wetland canal theses buzzards as c they are sometimes called moved inland in a south westerly direction on a course that took them near the niagara escarpment at rockway flying through the almost horizontal rays of the setting sun at an altitude of about 500 feet the big vultures tightened an arc in their wheeling flight and began to descend one after the other they swept in like huge gliders then folded their sue foot wings and settled into the bran ches of a giant maple the presence of these nakedheaded birds with charac teristic protruding shoulders so grouped together was like a scene from an african movie it was not a dead animal however that caused this particular gathering but rather a sheltered resting place on their- migratory route for each spring these ominouslooking creatures move into this province many through the niagara pen insula spreading out to take up residence in the rural countryside and while this hock numbered 32 birds a flight the year before contained no less than so scavengers in cidentally they stopped off for the night in the lower sixteen valley when you see a turkey vulture up close in the wild or even in a zoo most people would have to agree their appearance borders on the hideous their pinkyred head devoid of feathers resembles an old ringnecked cock pheasant thats been held with others in too cramped quarters but here the similarity ends for the vultures possess a large booked bill for tearing apart decaying flesh and large open nostrus that are capable of picking up suchoderifous scent from great heights t 1 there is nothing particularly unusual about their dark feathered body except for its large size when compared to that of a crow however the legs are somewhat long and fleshcolored and the feet resemble those of a chicken and while its appearance leaves a lot to be desired we have to look past these superficial features to understand why nature fashioned it in this way for as scavengers of dead animals they come into contact with many of the diseases that killed their carrion feast so the naked head though resem bling that of a tame gobbler and the reason for the name turkey vulture actually is an asset for in effect it allows the sterilizing rays of the sun to react on this bare skin add to this- feature the featherless legs and the fact their digestive juices are so strong they will kill the bacteria of even the most persistent diseases like hog cholera and anthrax i thus a check is in stituted by these valuable scavengers when outbreaks might otherwise ravage whole sections of the country but while the turkey vulture may not be pleasing to the eye when at rest its a different story when the big birds are airborne with their long broad wings set in an open v almost effortless flying is obtained a dip to either side causes the lift to increase on the lower wing and decrease on the upper feathered member almost automatically this feature brings the glider back to a normal flying position thus these sharpeyed buzzards can by utilizing the air currents and thermals remain aloft for hours without as much as moving a wing muscle in the coming autumn months some of these drifting migrants can be seen in the sky over the 1 stouffville area turkey vultures were first found nesting in huron county in 1901 and since that time have extended their range some 200 miles north ward unlike the more southerly black vulture which tends to flock at all seasons this hardier species spreads out after migration scattering in pairs as far north as kenora other sightings and nests of the turkey vulture have been recorded from such widely seperated places as thunder- bay manitouliri island apsley and rice lake oddly enough the- big birds nest on the ground in a secluded spot with little attempt at aest- building the two down- covered young are fed by regurgitation the adults having neither the power in their feet nor- strength in their bills to tear anything other than decayed flesh near the lakeshore these big scavengers seek out dead fish while the heavy toll of wildlife along the highways may have influenced the vultures northern movement in some areas what a pity more of these death- reminding creatures wouldnt perch along our carnagestrewn roads their grim posture might even influence
