With sot shades of brown and grey in their plumage. quiet man. nets. and no actual song to draw Ellybodyls attention, Wnxwlngg might 311710” Pisa unnoticed," un- less we happen to hear their high, Wheezing call. Yet they have sev- eral unique characteristics. It would be H Pity to miss seeing the small, red spots on the ends of certain wing, and oceuionluy some tail feathers. No birds bet- ter deserve their names, for it surely looks as though ml-l sealing wax had been applied. Their sllcir appearance is owing to the un. USUBHY Silky textures of their feathers, which do actually cling together. A band of yellow across the end of the tall, the erect pose on a branch, and a conspicuous, upstanding orest,which often leads to identification when merely the silhouette is visible, complete the points or interest as far as looks are concerned. Their bulky home may be found either in fruit trees or in shade trees near to small fruits. Some- times mud is the foundation, bu: the nest may be made of a great variety of materials: strips -of bark, leaves, grasses, twigs, moc- lets, and even twine if the pair can find any. Cedar Waxwinizs are able to store cherries in their throats and bring them up, at will, to feed their children. Generally nestllngs sit pretty much facing the direc- tion from which the parents hab- itually arrive with their meals. and some keep their tails together in the centre of the nest and their heads at the edge; but we have positive proof that young Cedar waxwings are accustomed to keep their bills pointing inwards. If a nest is examined after the babies have flown. we invariably find that it is full of the cherry stones that have been "spit out". At ally season. a row of Cedar Waxwings "billing" a cherry along from one to mother is quite a common sight. They are both po- lite and chummy. In autumn the juveniles, recognized by their streaked breasts and lack of "seal- ing wax" appendages, are accom- panied by their parents. Often families gather together in large flocks; and sometimes they remain thus all winter in southern Can- ada, if they can, find a good feed- ing ground for the entire com-

By CYNTHIA LOWBY America's history is reflected in its folklore. In the same propor- tion. its folklore reflects its hist-

ory.

From the sea-sprayed fishing vil- lages 'of New England where wea- thered marincrs told of the fear- some white whale on winter"; nights, to California's Golden Gate where the exploits of the feared "v" " J are still being embroid- cred. a treasure-trove of myth and legend has accumulated through the years and is still growing.

Our folklore. which contains in- 51 dients of the lore of lands from which our settlers came. is as dis- tinctive as our national flag. It is a compound of truth and lies. drama and adventure, blood and pathos. and it seems to contain more than the usual amount o! roistering humor and wit.

Througlt 'the years. America's spinners 11 Mid and the singers of its songs have beenproud men. shrewd men aadmenwith the gift of laughter. "Good fools." in the phrase of Carl landburs. whose

nation.

Each section of the land has its own heroes. Pioneering men told of the wonders of their country - and invented wonders when they failed to find them. As time went on, story-tellers borrowed a little from here and there and attached them to a dlfferen subject. Or they used their imaginations and improved on the old stories.

Americans have always had a warm spot for the man able to brag, bluster and bluff - and fo'i- low it up with action if it was ne- cessary. Men were gauged by their ltrength and wiles. Tile highest acolade-self-' J ' of SW!!! by admirers-was "half-horse. half- alligator."

Folk-taie! and folk-songs were made to be enjoyed. Still the an- alyst can find all manner of fas- cinating facets to the subject.
