Strange But True l

Jim Crow is a smart bird. Ha be- longs to a. well organised clan. is well drilled as a soldier. and knows all the tricks of hunters.

It is interesting to note. that their leaders are always chosen from the oldest and wisest and bravest of their clan. The rank and file are the young 1 and the crows without special gl ts.

Anyone who has tried to shoot a crow knows Just how difficult it is. The mere fact. that you are carrying a gun is enough to send a band of cawers off in a hurry. But if you are unarmed they will fly right. above your head, and not twenty feet away.

. .

some crows have a hobby of col- lecting shells and other white, shiny things. These they will spread out in the sun from time to time, turn 'em over. nestle on them as though they were eggs. Ill other words. they will gloat over a prized collection like a miser over his gold. Then when they are through toying with their posses- sions they will cover them carefully with leaves and earth and about that business.

But with all their cunning they are pirates par excellence. Every morning they make the rounds of the small bird's nests and eat the new laid eggs, (No stale eggs for Jim Crow or his family! as reg- illarly as I doctor visiting his patients.

With every flock of crows. is a sentry, picked for his sharp eyes. if he fails in his duty anothei takes his place and he is blacklisted forever.

There is only one time nhen a crow can be taken completely off his guard, and that is at night. The nwl is the crow"; sworn enemy and when he sets up his eerie cry even the most courageous old crow will withdraw his head from under wing and set and tlemble, mberable till day break.

Crows have been known to kill small rabbits and other young fry. On the other hand. they eat many grubs in this way help the !armer to get rid of his insect enemies.

Whether it is wise to put bounty on crows is debatable cer- tainly they have their faults but they also have their good points. Gone are the old pine graves in i-xhich they and our forefathers gloried in. Their numbers ,are dwindling yet I should hate to see the black winged beauties cntirely inundated.

A few British scientists believe they can take the crow out of Mr. Rooster and are now working on, this theory. They hope that in five; lears they will be able to produce: a cock that can't crow. If and when' the crowless rooster is produced it will be a great day for light sleep-

Did you know that rabbits tele- graph each other by thumping on the ground with their hind feet. Those who have made a. study of rabbits tell. us that ".1 single thump means "look out' or 'frcezei. A s'ow thump followed by a second slow thump means 'dln3Cl”. and ihiee fast thumps means 'run for your life'. The fellow from whom I got the above data. in tellinglthe story (and I believe him), "I fre- quently translate from rabbit in-, to English, I repeat nothing thatl they did not say."

A wild duck can hide her chil- dren in the grass at the first sign of danger and then. believe it or not, she can remember cveizv blade of grass she last trod on. When the threatened danger is past she will return to find her little ones standing perfectly still. Even as she advances toward them not one will stir until the mother gives the all clear signal and then hiding place will give up its young duckling.

In this province, with its rich high yield per acre. they foresaw the profitable production of more vegetable and fruit crops, provided that processing plants were estab- lished and mal'ket.s developed. thus providing additional income to farmers and giving employment to Island men and women. They recognized too. the great amount of money that would be retained for use in this province if nothing more was done than supplying local requirements of canned fruits

Prince Edward Island's favorable position in relation to markets outside of this province that can- not supply their own needs.

The lack of information on pro- cessing technique, coupled with the high cost of building, and essential food processing machinery has posed such a formidable combina- tion that few have cared to risk the necessary investment.

The two Bedeque men who head this new concern are already mak- ing plans for further expansion which will necessitate a quick

They're probably the strongest junior club to be developed in the Maritime! in many years.

. . . What we'd like to know is why Curran dz Briggs always has to meet Lewisville in the Hill Wlllld of the Maritime play-offs. Last year Lewlsvllle was Mlrltiml champs. Why didn't they get a bye into the finals and let Nova Bcotla and Prince Edward Island battle it out for the right, to meet them? It seems we never get a chance to test our strength against the NOV!

Gene Boudreau said after the doubleheade. that his boys hadn't batted so wall all season. That, of course. could mean two vutly dif- ferent things.

It assist! us to organize and plan and to save time and materials. It helps us to be tolersnt at the short- comings and mistakes in others, when we see them In ourselves.

Work takes away from the dis- mal boredom of living. which hangs like a death psll over so many people who cannot seem to employ their time properly. Work occupies our minds and bodies in wholesome activity, which is as essential for living a good Christ- ian life.

Do not seek to escape from work. We were made to be busy. God Himself in never at rest. Man cannot be busy every m0l'flEl1l- R9" laxatlon is needed to refresh him. But remember, one of the chief purposes-of recreation is to help us work better. Our .daily tasks do become burdensome. and cause us suffering. This may be a good thing. We can then suffer some- thing for love of God. Christ by His life shows us that work and suffering are essential parts of Christian living.
