MANY PRIZES AWARDED AT PET PARADE Many Varieties of Pets Were Well Represented There may have been some young- sters in Oshawa who did not have their péts at the Humane Society Pet Parade and Competition last evening, but the number could not have been very large. As soon as school was out the fun started al- though it was not necessary for any of the entries to arrive at Memorial Park much before 5.30. There are even rumors that some ponies and dogs received careful grooming and thorough cleaning for days before. They certainly showed evidence of it 1ast evening, and the owner of the most insignificant mongrel was just | as proud of his pet as was the pos- sessor of a really valuable dog or oat. Lending their dignity and looking on with a sophisticated eye at the vapping little canines were the handsome horses from some of the bakeries and dairies in town. The collection of birds was not as large as had been expected, there was one parrot and several pairs of bantem chickens. The dogs and cats were in the majority and there was almost every kind of both. Guinea pigs, rabbits, a few white mice and *'Oli- ver Twist" the goat from the Col- legiate were also of great attrac- tion. Judging was difficult and as usu- al there were a few disappointed boys and girls. but never the less they were good sports and let the decision of the judges rule without any controversy. Most difficult was it to judge the dogs. There were many who did not receive awards who were worthy of mention. The two English bull dogs, owned by Mrs. Eccles and Jimmie Carey, are among these. The judging findlly over, then CATHOLIC WOMEN SEW FOR NEEDY "PARISHIONERS Many Cases Given Relief During Winter Months On" Wednesday, April 18th the final meeting of the Sewing Circle of St. Gregory's Catholic Women's League was held. ' Mrs. W. R. J. Irwin, who has acted as the able convenor of this circle since its in= ception in the early winter, was once more in charge of the meet- ing, and nineteen members were in attendance. Since November 5th, when the first meeting was held over six hundred garments have been made or remodelled and given to the needy of the parish. By appealing to the congregation last. autumn, a large quantity of clothing was sent in, which the workers repaired. With funds advanced by the C. W. L., boys' trousers, sweaters, mitts, infants' vests, flannellette and sewing supplies were purchased and the finished articles distributed. In addition, Mrs. F. Robson do- nated six girls' sweaters and Mrs. J. Stanton six boys' sweaters. The Four Leaf Clover, a social club, composed of four cuples, turned in their entire collection for the sea- son, which amounted to $43.25 This sum was used to purchase the following articles: 10 sweaters and windbreakers, 85 yards of flannel- lette, 6 infants' vests, 1 pair of flannellette blankets, and 1 new bed with complete outfit of bed- ding, etc., for a sick boy. At the conclusion of the after- noon's sewing, Mrs. Irwin, assist- ed by some of those present served a delightful afternoon tea, the chief feature of which was a :arge cake with two candles, signifying the completion of the second year's existence of the club. A very hear- ty vote of appreciation for the capable and efficient manner in which she had conducted the af- fairs of the club, to Mrs. Irwin, was moved by Mrs. Gifford and sec- onded b® Mrs. Donald and en- dorsed by'all. It was through her efforts and those who assisted ler, that such a large number of chil- dren and adults were made com- fortable and warm. Mrs.' Irwin responded in her us- ual amiable manner and disclaimed the credit, saying that the earn- est support and service she had re- ceived from the workers was re- sponsible for whatever measure of W.M.3.

Burgess LESSONS THAT WERE FUN Knowledge that is gained in fun Means education well begun. ~--Mother West Wind. Eight children to train so' that they will be fitted to go out into the Great World means a lot of responsibility. Yellow Wing, the Flicker, and Mrs. Yellow Wing thought so anyway. One great !'es- son had been learned. There had been nine young Flickers, but one who had been headstrong and care- less had been snatched away by Sharpshin the Hawk and his broth- ers and sisters had seen him taken. The result was that each was now constantly on the watch for Sharp- shin or any other possible enemy, and constant watchfulness is the first law of life among the little people. of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. This lesson having been so well learned, more attention could be given to other lessons. Yellow Wing showed them how to drum on a dead limb. He showed them how to strike without cutting the wood, for to cut the wood would be to spoil the drum, Then he showed them how to strike so as to cut the wood and take out tiny chips so as to make a hole. He showed them how to test woed with their bills so as to know if it were living ,or dead wood, and if hard or soft. It was Mrs. Yellow Wing who showed them most about hunting for food. "You will find, my dears," said she, 'that ants are the best all round insect food. Most other birds pay little attention to them, but we Flickers are very fond of them. In the first place, they are easy to get. You will find them on trees, on and in some dead wood and in all sorts of places on the ground. You know tne #lica ers belong to the Woodpecker fam- ily and the Woogdpeckets are birds of the trees. At least most of them are. I suppose that way back in the days when the Great World was young the Flickers lived al- most "altogether in trees. That must have heen before they dis- covered what good eating ants were. When that discovery was | made they began to look for ants | and soon found that more ants | were to be found on the ground | than anywhere else. So they. began going to the ground more and more and now your father and | gpend as much time on the oronnd as 'we do in the trees. We are still known as tree birds, but per- THEY GROW. Garden equipped to assist Mother Nature time should find yom haps some day Flickers will he known as ground birds instead. "There are many kinds of ants, Some are so tiny that they are hardly worth paying. attention to unless you find them in great num- bers. All are good eating. If you look trees over carefully you will find a tree up which ants are climbing or coming down. Usual- ly they are doing both. All you need to do then is to rest comfort- ably on the trunk of the tree just to one side of their line of march and pick them off as they come along. "Over in the Green Forest rre some big mounds made by 'large ants. I'll show you these. In the grass of Farmer Brown's yard you'll find little ant hills mada by small ants. However, they are excellent eating. Of course, while vou are looking for ants you will find other things by. the way of variety. Crickets are very good. So are some caterpillars You will like some beetles and in some dead wood you will find borers that are very nice inde#d. Later in the year there will be fine ber- ries and fruits, not to mention a little corn. Your food should be varied my dears." So it was that the young ¥lick- ers got their first lessons in how to live, and they didn't seem to like lessons at all for they were fun. Yes, sir, they were fun. It was fun to try to see who could find the biggest ant hill, the big- best ant, biggest caterpillars, plumpest crickets. It was fun to peck holes in soft, dead wood while learning how to use their bills. It was fun to try to drum. So-the young Flickers were day hy day becoming better fitted to look out for themselves in the Great World and do their share of its work. And day by day Yellow Wing and Mrs. Yellow Wing were finding their responsibilities grow- ing*less and less. The time would soon come when they would be left to themselves and they were not sorry.

President, Mrs. O*S. Hobbs, who was recently elected Captain of 3nd Oshawa Guides, tendered her re- signation to the council, which was regretfully received. Mrs. Hobbs' services have been invaluable to the council and have also been appreci- ated. The Garden Rally which is ar- ranged for June 13th, at the home of the Commissioner, Mrs. Eric Phillips, was discussed during the business session. Mrs. Gordon Rat- cliffe, introduced a varied program including nature study, first ald, and knot tying. Mothers of the Guides and Brownies attended these meetings which are proving most interesting. Any others who have not put in an appearance are invited to do so. The ladies are in- debted to Mrs. Ratcliffe for her in- struction and demonstration which is so willingly given.
