BIII.DS' PANTRY

owing to the severity of Can- ada's winters. of course Flycatch- en cannot find enough food here to keep them during the cold months. However, some kinds of birds are provided with deep- freeze lockers, ready filled by Mother Nature. with its unusually long, barb-tipped tongue. the Hairy Woodpecker pulls the lar- vae of boring beetles from deep tunnels in the wood of trees. Its small counterpart, the Downy, finds borers and gall insects hid- den away in the dead canes of iion-woody plants. Prom bark, the

Chickadee picks out insect eggs and pupae. The White-breasted Nuthatch

also digs into bark crevices, dis- covering hibernating insects, their eggs and pupae. A more northerly Nuthatch, the little Red-breasted eats the seeds of conifers. but when it comes upon a feeding tray, especially prepared with suet. niitmeate. or sunflower seeds, its habit is to carry away what it cannot consume at the time. hid- ing it in holes and bark crannies, to be enjoyed when other food is mirce.

several species. not so clever about arrangements for refrigera- iion, cannot resist bringing home more food than they or their families are able to use before it spoils. Bald Eagles live mainly on fish. but it is quite usual to find in their nests parts of rabbits. squirrels, mice or snakes. Half- eaten pigeons or small song birds are always littered about the homes of Peregrine Falcons. spring are perhaps the most wasteful. They kill far more than they can eat, and leave their prey. which consists of small frogs and reptiles, little birds, mice. and mi-ews. impaled on thorns. No wonder they are popularly known as Butcher Birds! Their winter territory is easily recognized by its similarity to n. butcher's cold itorage room with meat hanging up on hooks.

Blue Jays. however. in spite of the fact. that they carry off many more acorns and beechnuts than

ire necessary to keep them, through the lean months. are in one respect useful. Their pantry

is the cold ground. The nuts they -iiry in the earth are often for- gotten, remaining there until oak ind-beech frees start up, the nu- -Zeus of a forest. Perhaps our early ieitlers had taken lessons from 'licm when they dug out cellars. miking refrigerators for supplies.

screech owls are, both provi- dent and clever about winter sup- plies. Once chilly weather sets in they concentrate on hunting for frogs, mice and other small ani- mals, storing them in hollow trees where they keep perfectly in win- ter weather.

Have birds winter houses?

The October meeting of the Bunbury W. M. S. was held at the home of Mrs. Russel Farquharson Thursday afternoon, October 2nd, with a. very good attendance.

The devotional period was led by Mrs.' William Smallwood. as- stated by Mrs. George Mason. who took for their theme, the "Courts of the Lord", giving members a clearer understanding of the ben- efits that may be derived from common worship, which is ameana of grace and a source of strength, drawing all into clearer fellowship with others.

At the close of the worship per- iod a letter, wiilch was written by Millicent Howse Do all friends of Dorothy Shauflier, was read by Mrs. George Mason. Miss schauf- fler was a missionary who passed away just as she was about to leave Africa on furlough. She will be greatly missed, and will always be remembered for her enthusi- asm and her happy disposition.

Mrs. John MacDonald, assisted by Mrs. Leslie MacDonald, took charge of the study period which dealt with family life in Angola, showing the many great differen- ces between the Christian and the non-Christian villages. Since almost all of the people in Angola live in rural areas, it was inter- esting to learn that one way in which the missionaries are helping the villagers, is by training boys and girls, men and women, in bet- ter methods of agriculture

This being the Thanksgiving meeting the thank offering was received and dedicated at the close of the study period.

The business period was presid- ed over by the president. After the reading of the minutes, men- tion was made of the service held in the Bunbury Church on Octo- ber 2i under the auspices of the W.M.S., the special speaker be- ing Mrs. Allison Tait.

A nominating committee w s appointed to bring in a new sla.e of ofTlcers for the coming year. Subscriptions for the Missionary Monthly for the new year were taken by Mrs. Perley Mutch. Members were reminded that holi- day bags were to be passed in at the November meeting, which will be held at the home of Mrs. Al- lison Tait, with the devotional leader being Mrs. Harry Wood. It was decided that Mrs. Farquhar- son would take charge of dona- tions to be sent to the Maritime Hqme for Girls.

The meeting closed with prayer by the president. followed by the Mizpah Benediction. A lovely lunch was then served by the hostess assisted by several of the ladies.

the Saracens moved westward and brought their arts with them into western Europe, the crafts of garden-making as well as the crafts of building and the decorative arts, and it would be strange if they left ,thls flower behind. Surely it found a. place in those gorgeous patterned gar- dens they made in Spain.

With so generous a flower at hand, little wonder the old Dutch gardeners took to niultipiying it. hybridizing it, until they had cre- ated and fixed many different kinds.

Islanders Active In International Peace conference

The International Peace Garden which lies across the Canadian- American border was the scene of an interesting gathering of Cana- dian and American University stu- dents recently. Twenty students from Brandon College in Brandon, Manitoba and a like number from State Teachers College, Minot. North Dakota, met in a daY'l0"K conference to discuss pertinent problems in international affairs. The theme of the conference was the Role of the United Kingdom in present day world affairs. Pa- pers on various aspects of Brit- lsh foreign policy were presented by students. Group discussions were held. At the evenlnl bl"' quet session. attended by many North Dakota and Manitoba cit- izens. an inspiring address on the present international situation was given by Professor Edgar Mclnnls. president of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs. and form- erly prolessor of history M the University of Toronto.

It is interesting to note that Mr. Mclnnis is a native of Char- lottetown and that Professor lleath Macquarrie the general chairman of the conference and the origin- ator of the conference idea is an- other Isiander, the son of Mrs. Wilfred Macquarrle, St. Peters Rd.

well aware of one of the chief causes of tooth decay-more suit" than the teeth will tolerate.

Because tooth decay occur: be- fore school ege, one of the helpful health services provided is that each month in each community, one afternoon is devoted to the moth- ers of pre-school children.

The public health nurse after her child health conference with the mother, passes her along to the deiitai health officer. If the mother has a child unde rsix months with no teeth erupted yet-all the bet- ter. This is the effective time for the interview. especially if it is the first child. If other children, 3 to 5 years of age. are with the mother and these older children have den- tal defects, the dental officer can size up how the mother thinks and acts regarding the teeth of her children.

Now. every youngster needs some sugar daily. Sugar gives energy In. less time than other foods and youngsters can play best after eat- ing sugar. but. it is the sugar that remains on and between the teeth that causes most tooth decay. It may be difficuclt to have children brush their teeth more than once or twice daily but if after eating or drinking sweet substances they would "rinse" the mouth out, slushlng water between the teeth thus cleansing all sides and sur- faces of the teeth.they could enjoy their play and still preserve the teeth.
