George Scott, of Bloor street west, Oshawa ornithologist, re-| ports very interesting findings) as a result of his regular au- thorized visits to the Oshawa marshes. * The most interesting find of the summer was three nests containing eggs of the Little Gull. This was the first record- ed nesting of The Little Gull on this continent. The Latin name of this gull is 'Larus Minutus." It is the smallest gull in exist- ence, being about 11 inches in length. The normal range is in Europe and Asia, but the Little ull has been seen occasionally alon the coasts of New Eng- land and the Great Lakes. Other nests discovered in the marshes by Mr. Scott were one of the Least Bittern, which raised four young, and the Marsh Hawk, which raised) three young. A nest of the Short Billed Marsh Wren con- tained six eggs which. were| later destroyed by predators. Other interesting bird rarities} observed this summer were a White - Eyed Vireo, Blue-grey Gnat Catcher, Glossy Ibis, King Rail and Franklin's Gull.

McGivery,}' Memory Expert Amazes Group A London, Ont., memory ex- pert addressed a luncheon here Thursday -- amazed listeners with his powers of mental re- call -- then told them they should get to work and develop the same faculties. Evon D. McGugan told the an- nual meeting of the Associated Milk Foundations of Canada everyone could have a memory like his. The audience was agog, be- cause moments before they'd watched as Mr, McGugan rattled off the names of people he'd met earlier and amazed them with a mental trick using a magazine. He passed around the dining hall, pages from a recent maga- zine, then invited watchers to test his powers of recall by giv- ing him page numbers and ask- ing him what was on them. He replied correctly in every case. BAFFLES AUDIENCE | He also baffled watchers with| his power to recall any one of) a list of 50 objects and playing cards when a _ corresponding number was given.

SENSES PLAY PART He said all five senses play a part in calling things to mind, but in most cases people only use tangible sight. "The secret is to use associa- tion," he said. "My system is to use what you might call 'shorthand for the mind'," he told the group. "Ladies can use the system for shopping," he said. '"There's no longer any reason to carry a list, "But, work's going out of style in 1962, and it's a lot of hard work to get your memory al- most perfect." TV HABIT CRITICIZED He criticized Canadians for -'watching so much television and said the time could be spent on working. "T like to think of what Robert Oppenheimer said at the time the Russians sent up the first sputnik,"" Mr. McGugan said. "He said: 'We must learn to cherish work and learning',"' he continued. "If we're blessed with a nor- mal body in a democratic so- ciety," he went on, '"'then nothing is impossible if we want|§ to pay the price -- and tha means we must work for it." Mr. McGugan is much in de- mand as a public speaker by many groups across the prov- ince.

Downey Is Third County Man Honored | The election this week of Ray Downey, of Toronto, as presi- dent of the Associated Milk Foundations of Canada is a tribute to Ontario County. He is the third native of the county to be elected to the position which reflects the place the Oshawa Milk Foundation holds in the organization. Irwin T. Ormiston, of Raglan, was president of the Founda- tions in 1958-59; while Ald. Nor- man Down of Oshawa, re- tired as president during the convention held here this week. Both Mr. Downey and Mr. Ormiston are members of the Milk Foundation of Toronto. Mr. Downey works in Toronto and Mr. Ormiston shipped his milk to the Toronto market. Mr. Downey was born and raised on a farm at Myrtle He later attended the Whitby) High School. At 17 he was a member of the Ontario County judging team and participated at the Royal Winter Fair where he was the winner of the Rob- ert Graham Memorial Trophy and also a gold medal for judg- ing.

Indeed, some reports say that witchcraft is enjoyng a re- vival. Belief in the black arts per- sists in modern industrial coun- tries as well as remote unso- phisticated villages. A Scotland Yard official be- lieves that there is more black magic in Great Britain now than in the Dark Ages. A_ self- proclaimed witch has warned that British witches might "raise a cone of power" to pre- vent nuclear war. CRONES ON BROOMSTICKS In Germany, where thousands still scan the heavens for crones on broomsticks, charges of witchcraft frequently reach the courts, and books on black magic are best sellers. A woman in a Russian village asked for police protection because her neighbors were convinced she was a witch and wanted her to hex their enemies. In New York City, a doctor watched helplessly as life slipp- ed away from a patient who be- lieved himself under a_ fatal spell. An autopsy disclosed no disease. Despite these cases, the mod- ern age is skeptical of witch- craft, though, song writers may refer to that old black magic, But for untold generations most people believed strongly in the black arts. Basically, belief in witches arises from nothing more sinis- ter than man's earnest efforts to understand the world around him and make it work for him instead of against him. Early men who fell sick knew nothing of bacteria and viruses. To ex- plain their misfortune, they de- veloped the theory that an enemy was somehow injuring them. They began trying to injure others by magical means, such as making an image of hated man and sticking pins in it. If a victim learned tha' a spell was being worked against him, Accident Factor A collision between two cars, at the intersection of William street and Ritson road, resulted in $350 damage today. Drivers involved were Martin Tessier, of 239 Roxborough ave- nue and Ross C. Heasman, of Omemee. The accident took place at ap- proximately 6.40 a.m. The police said the pavement was wet at the time, it was raining and CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating their birthdays today: Linda Arsenault, 769 Cam- bridge Court.

Sooner or later every speel works because all meéff eventually die. Thus many «ume sophisticated believers think that they have good reason féf faith in witchcraft. * USEFUL BLACK ARTS Belief in the black arts hag desirable aspects.

Ironically, in the 16! and 17th centuries, when the Res naissance and the New Science began to spread, the infamous oe persecutions occurf: ed. - It was an age of social ype heaval; the Reformation had split Europe into warrin camps. In this time of tension. and unrest, popular wrath turne ed on women who, for oné reason or another, had aroused distrust. They were accused of dealing with the Devil, and 300,000 were put to death.
