suttznus FROM LAND

AMERICAN EGBET

Great Auks are birds of the past and Ivory-billed woodpeckers are on the wane. Passenger Pigeons were killed off to grace the tables of cplcures and are now extinct; American Egrets were slaughtered that their plumes might deck the heads of wealthy women, and their numbers diminished until there were probably fewer than fifty left.

At breeding time. these magni- ment white Herons, which used to flourish in Florida and the south- ern states, acquired on the back ionic fifty plumes that fell like a bridal train for a foot or more be- mild the tail. Just after the eggs hatched, plume hunters used to in- vade the territory, shooting the adults and leaving the young to m,,.,. At first it did not seem to mam: - the supply-was supposed to be endless. This ruthless destruc- iioii continued until it was almost, hm not quite, too late. A' law pro- hibiting the use of these plumes W011! through in 1911. followed by me Migratory Bird Treaty of 1918. For some years, the few remaining pairs in Florida were jealously ;;uiii'fi('d, until miraculously the grnnii white birds, nearly as llifle as Great Blue Herons, began to in- L'l'Efl5P. and extended their territory. pushing their way gradually farther north.

seeking quiet pools bordered with trees, American Egrcts build loose nests or twigs to form a. platform in the branches or on the tops oi biishes high above the water. A Limily of about four young Herons is raised largely on fish. They may be distinguished from other large all-white birds by having yellow iliils and black legs and feet. When answering this description, and reports began to come in that birds with .1 wing spread of approximate- 13' seven feet, had been seen in Connecticut. Maine, Massachusetts, and Ohio, bird watchers became ex- cited. But members of the Heron iaiiiiiy have the habit of wandering for a while instead of flying dir- south after the breeding sea- Thcrciore dates were carefully kcd. Finally it was definitely 0..nbiiSil9Ci that American Egrets were nostiiig in the northern states

Now for some 15 seasons, they are being found in several provin- ces of Canada. Flocks of 16 or 18 have been seen in. Quebec near Gi'.'iIlby and in marshes along the Richelieu, and there are authentic reports that "at least 9" have re- muincd in New Brunswick from iAp- ril' until November, having nested at Grand Manan, near St. John. mid some other coastal spots. It seems certain that American Egrets

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

Stresses Need Of Return To Christian Principles

A strong appeal for I halt in the decline of moral values, and u re- turn in Christian principles if Csn' Ida is to enjoy the blessings to which she is entitled. was voiced by the Rev. E. Melville Aitken, B. A.. B.D.. It Rotary luncheon yes-, ierdey.

"Canada is a nation of great re- sources, iis citizens are rich in firm)!-lldl. ilehing u-eu, mines, lumber and power, yet our atten- tion seems in be nxed more and more on the development of these rather than on the abiding values of liberty and democ , which are the more important part of our inheritance," said the speaker. "There are forces at work today which would rob us of our liberty and we should give serious thought to these matters."

Canada had” a great beginning. continued Mr. Altken. Each time he had visited thin Province he spent some time in the room in the Legislative building where the Fathers of-Confederation had gath- ered. Tbey had come to this coun- try to build something new and to enter I different way of life. They wanted to develop further in

their search for freedom and to.

ensure that this new land would not become one of oppression and slavery. -

Spiritual Need: First

Among the first buildings erect- ed here were their churches,smal1, unattractive, but dedicated lower- ship. These were ibuilt before businesses, schools, roads, or pub- lic buildings,'and.they went to them each Sunday. Many had to travel long trails, ford rivers and endure hardship to be in their places each week. They knew from past bitter exper-iena: that these other things would not bring peace or fulness of life.

Their faith held -to the Script- ural teac-hlng, "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. His delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law doth he meditate day and night. He shall be like .1 tree planted by the rivers of waters which bring- eth forth his fruit in his season. his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall pros- per"; and with this vision they laid the foundation of- this Canada of ours. 8

Democracy is a hybrid stemming from the Greek experiments in popular government, and Christian teaching. The word. itself is made up of the Greek, "Demos" (people) and "Knifes" (rule), it not only means the rule of the people, but also the rule of iihe best people.

"Is it any wonder," asked the speaker. "that when they were looking for a name for this coun- try, they should accept the sug- gestion of one of their number who read again and again the Psalm at his morning devotions He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the eatf.h'."

Cannot Be Inherited

But having a good beginning. ,democrac,- cannot be inherited by isucceedin generations. The prod- igal son had a good beginning, and it is evident as pointed out by Rev. Emerson Fosclicls, "It must be reborn in every generation. Dic- tatorship csn in a way be inherit- cd. Democracy is spiritually en- gendered in the hearts of its indi- vidual cltisens. and unless it is constantly renewed it falls and decays."

Furthermore. continued Mr. Alt- ken, once the democratic spirit is born, it cannot grow and thrive simply through the vote of the majority as the will of the major- ity is not always the will of God. It is only foo evident that some politicians for their own advance- ment, stoop to dishonesty, graft and corruption to win a majority of the votes. Though they may receive the seeming approval of the people, this is not true demo

racy.

"Unless we as individuals have within us the personal character which accepts responsibility for the mater-lsl. moral. and spiritual well-being of all, and create 1 so- ciety which produces tesmen. then we are in danger of destruc- tion," said Mr. Aitken. We must come to our senses and realize that democracy demands I grow- ing moral standard, not a declin- ing one. Today the decline in mor- als is following the decline in worship. and may be seen in the increasing commercialization of Sunday, the wave of iniemperance and the pressure to legalize gamb- ling."

Thomas E. Dewey. Governor of the State of New York said re- oently: "fhe rise of powerful un- derworld ngures was built upon organized gsmblinl in "ii" where it was legal or winked Ii as I part of city policy. In each imfance gang wars, murder. cor- ruption and poverty have followed in the inn of such policY- The

GUIDI TRAINING IN PRACTICE

Former Guides and Cadets were seen to wonderful advantage at the Childrenis Kinsmen Camp at North Rustlco. The Camp Com- mandant. Mrs. H. Cudmore, and her team of former Guides as Counsellors were operating with clockwork precision and the hap- piness prevailing among the little ones was a joy to watch. Each Cadet had her own group and they really had them well in hand and what was especially noted by the visitors the affection so freely given. One quite unrehearsed in- cident seemed iyrpical of the way the girls were treated. One small child said to a Counsellor, "Give me a hug" and the Counsellor without hesitation, gave the child a great hug and kissed her light- ly. That child's joy should have been recorded and shown to the hardworking Kinsmen who would feel quite certain that -their camp was in splendid hands and was worth every effort to raise the necesary money.

Races were being run off with not too great i distance to fire the little legs. and organized entirely by the Cadets. A search for any objects appealing to the girls was Joyously entered into by all and the display of stones, shells, flow- ers, harseshoes testified the inter- est shown. Original handicrafts with picnic plates. crayons and paints was something else that the youngsters endovyed and the results were most attractive. The group were mostly underprivileged chil- dren, with several from the Pro- testant Orphanage. All ages, even a wee girl of seven were having a wonderful time. You should have heard the Indian '.'.'elcome given the visitors, it nearly raised the roof.

The Counsellors were fully put- ting into practical use our Guide Promise, Laws and Tiraining and fulfilling them to the letter and proving that once again, time spent at Guide meetings need not be wasted. If Leaders could have seen those Guides being "A sister to every other Guide." sl-though not all were Guides, their "Help- fulness" and kindness and so many other ways of demonstrating Guiding it would have given them renewed enthusiasm for the train- ing of their own Guides. As it is you will have to take my word for it. every minute with our girls in training them to be Guides is worth while. Leaders. be thinking out your winter progr plan some variety, get outdoors when possible. Reed "Girl Guiding" :- gain. you may find some new ideas that you had missed before. Above all do not let your meet- ings get dull and monotonous. Let the girls make suggestions at Court of Honour and let them carry the meeting with. your di- rections. They will love it. It seems I little early to begin thinking of the winter programme but next month should see us all meeting agoin, and that in not long. so start THINKING. and PLANNING.

ling in this country and abroad shows that it has brought nothing buf crime, demoraliufion, weak- en ng of the ethical standards and ultimately lowering the living standard with misery for all people." Other signs of our de- cline msy be seen in our crowded divorce courts. and the obscene literature offered for our reading.

Two Alternatives '

"Two alternatives face our de- caying democncy." said Mr. Ali- ken. "Either we will have repent- ance and restoration, or decay and destruction. This is the challenge for every citizen. There must be more emphasis on worship. clean living, truth, honour. responsibil- ity and service."

Visiting Rotarians at yesterday's luncheon were Rev. S. K. Stiles, Toronto; H. Dewitt, Woodstock. N. B.; P. J. Cadlgan, Glace Bay, N.S.; H. '1'. West, Toronto; Arthur Stesrns. Medford.. Other guests were Meurs. R. D. Newsome. Est- svui. Sask.; D. If. Gallant. surn- merside; Dr. 0'Moi-o, Milton; Capt. J. 5. Scott. Jnisra, Peru: Capt. Charles Fenwick, Middleton, N.8.; R. 8. Dana.
