"There's . r953 hedge around a big prop- ,,.y there, and ever so many dead mice are hanging on the thorns. I lulu-nit seen the butcher yet. but 1:2:-..s evidence enough that a .3. is living nearby."

of song bird and bird of prey. Thcir strange habit of impaling the Victims springs from the fact that their feet. weak like those of song birds, are incapable of hold- in: them. But theirrhooked beaks, with which they tear the prey apart. resemble those of Hawks. Like Owls. they disgorge the in- cligestible parts (bones. hair of mice. feathers of birds). which come up from the stomach rolled into compact pellets.

Roughly speaking. the size of a Robin. the Northern Shrike is light grey above, white below. and wears a. suitable black mask through the eyes. like the villain that he is. Boldly perched on a prominent branch, the better to see. he awaits his victim. He will pounce on a mouse. But he must dart after a little bird. chasing it un- til he comes near enough to strike. Then slowly the heavy burden is carried to some convenient hook. which may be a thorn, a sharp twig. or even barbed wire.
some think Ehrlkes do as much good as they do harm because of their taste for rodents. the ever- increasing English Snarrows. and dcstructive insects. However that may be. their worst fault seems to be their needless killing. Unfor- tunatelv these butchers hang a great deal more meat than they ever eat. And so a whole row of spiked mice. found any time from October until March. is an indica- tion that a Northern Shrike is in the neighbourhood--probably, only one.

A joint meeting of all the four Hi-Y Chapters was held in the social Room of the Y. M. C. A. on Monday night. The meeting which opened with the Charlottetown Ht-Y Prayer was a very impress- ive,occasion. Don Large who had been sent by the Charlottetown Hi-Y Clubs in the Y. M. C. A. Centennial International Convenb ion held in Cleveland, Ohio, June 21-24. i951 gave his report. He also described the Hi-Y Conference at Oberlin. Ohio which was attended by 1.000 Canadian and American boys and girls. Don brought back a real challemze and the offer to help all the clubs in carrying out this challenge. An induction of new members was then held. This was conducted by Barry Beers. President of Grand Council of Hi- Y. Six members were inducted. Mariorlc Macl.eorl then reported on the 10th. Maritime Hi-Y Con- ference held in Halifax over Thanksgiving week-cnd. This end- ed the serious business of the evening. on the lighter side "wild Bill llickoxl' rode again, a Negro quartettc specially imported for the evening on three loyal "15. landers" entertained. The plenti- ful lunch was then served follow- ed by a square dance. All mem. bers left with a feeling of jolly good fellowship. having not only enjoyed themselves but having added to their insight of ill-Y.

The meeting was chaired by Audrey Cutcliffe and it was decided that lhe next meeting would take the form of a supper meeting after which there would be an initiation of all new members. As at least
half the members are new this yvnr the meeting should prove very interesting.

The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride. which was very attractively decorated with pink and white streamers. The marriage ceremony was performed under an arch gaily decorated with flowers.
The Welding March was played by Mr. Norman Morrison of Heb- ron. P. E. 1., a cousin of the bride. During the signing of the register he played ”l"ather in Heaven". The bride was given in marriage by her brother-in-law, Mr. Rod- erick MacNevin of -summersirle.
The bride looked the picture of girlish loveliness in a. floor-length gown of white lace over taffeta featuring a high neckline with nylon marqulsette, yoke, lily point sleeves; the full skirt was gather- ed to a pointed midriff with double ruffles of nylon marquis- ette at hemllne. she wore a floor- length veil gathered to a tiara of iridescent ,l and a bouquet of American Beauty roses. Her only ornament was a rhinestone necklace. the gift of the groom.
The bridesmaid was Miss Freda she was charmingly gowned in a floor-length dress of sky blue brocaded nylon over taf- feta and matching headdress. She carried a. bouquet of yellow lmums. The matron of honor was the sister of the bride, Mrs. George Stewart of Halifax. She looked lovely in a floor-length dress of rose taffeta with eyelet trim and matching headdress.

Fort Augustus credit union Meeting
Fort. Augustus Credit Union held their annual meeting in rbrt Augustus Parish Hall on Monday evening. October 15. The president Maurice Oummiskey. called the meeting to order and gave an in- teresting report of the past year's activities. and posed' some alter- ations in the present local credit union setup with an eye to givlns greater service and convenience to members. To this end it was decided, following a lengthy dis- cussion. that two manbers of a credit committee of five be chosen from the Mount Ryan district to approve or disapprove loans from that area. The other credit com- mittee members from other sort- ions of the credit union territory would accept the decision of these committee men.
Most noteworthy feature of the meeting was contained in the treasux-er's report. submitted by Mr. Alfred Hughes. This report showed that share capital in the credit union increased by over so per cent in the past year over the amount that had accumulated since incorporation in 1931. It was further noted that earnings were comparatively low, and it was felt that the reason for this might be that members were not aware that such a sizable amount of money was available for loans following the rapid increase in share capital. Members were urg- ed to patronln their credit union when in need of a loan and in so doing help to build a better credit union and I better community.
Mr. Ernest Hughes, convenor of the credit committee, and present-
in a royal blue taffeta dress with net trim and a corsage of pink carnatione.
The young couple who are two of the most. popular young people of the district, received many lovely gifts and telegrams, includ- ing a telegram from the bride: brother. Mr. Harvey MacNevin who is with the R.C.A.F. stationed at Aylmer. Ont.
Before her marriage the bride was a valued member of the stall of Jelly's Department Store in O'Leary while the groom is en- gaged in a trucking business. The happy young couple left on a honeymoon trip to points of in- terest. in this Province and also on the mainland. On their return they will reside in O'Leery. For
travelling the bride wore a yellow shortie over a chocolate brown suit with accessories to match. 1-ler corsage was of Talisman roses. They have the good wishes of many friends for a long and hap- py wedded life.
