shave the Black Hawks’_Na- tional Hockey League lead to one point.

It was Geoffrion's 12th goal of the season, his sixth winner. and goalie Charlie Hodge's sec- ond shutout of the season.

Montreal now has won three of its last four games against Hawks. Hawks have won five, and two ended in ties in the 10 meetings between the two teams.

Jean Beliveau got an assist on Geoffrion's goal to move him to within two points of the league scoring leader Stan Mt- kita of the Hawks.

The farm I took over after the war was ideal r robins and other nesting birds. A heavy spruce hedge sheltered the house and orchard on the east side and a similar hedge sheltered the farm buildings from the north. The hronzed grackles gave the robins I rough passage and En- glish sparrows look over the mud nests the Swallows built under the eve of the farm that faced the south. The 12 guage shotgun was noisy and too ex- pensive sol ordered I 22 cal B.S.A. target rifle with I 6 hole peep sight from I firm in Mon- lreal. It weighed between eight and nine pounds and was accur- ale to I hairs breadth. I could hit a bulls eye the size of I five cent piece three times out of five at fifty yards.

On I day when the light was right. particularly in the early morning or late evening, I crow tip to 150 yards had about one chance in 10. English sparrows at 25 yards were duck soup and hronzed grackles It 75 were in, the same category. It didn't takei me long to get the English spar-; rows. crows and prowling house ‘ cats under control but the bran. ed grackles were I tougher pro- position. They were both brazen and numerous. They had their headquarters in the old home grove about 125 yards west of my farm buildings One mor- niniz I lay prone amid I bed in the grove and killed 17 without I miss. Once I got them whittled down to I pair or so the robins could handle the situation’ in my absence. A robin is quite I fighter and has courage to back it up.

QUITE A PROBLEM

House csta gone wild were quite a problem at the start but after I had put I few to sleep the swallows and robins caught on fast. The swallows would hov- er over the cat, like spotting alr- planes. while it was in the open fields ajoinlng the farmyard and the robins would take over once it had gained the shelter of the hedge and buildings.

After the swallows left for the south the robins and song sparrows would pin point any cat that visited the premis- es including the orchard or hedge rows. And don't think for I mome they... the birds... didn't know what they were do- ing. One specific robin would fly to the red Istrachan tree near the kitchen and say ‘thanks’ with I few cheery notes and I flirt of its tail and then fly off about its business.
