Let's Talk it over

A Prince County Viewpoint ,, ..,..

New Brunswick has taken I decidely progressive step in an- nounclng it is unlawful to fail to dim lights when meeting other cars. We could well follow their example. It seems to be a mis- take to call this act a "courtesy of the road." It is mandatory. There are drivers, you know. to whom the word courtesy is a joke. "You shouldn't" doesn't reg- ister with ihem at all. The only languago they know is- "You can't". Of course it is easy for a motorist to overlook dimming his lights and not mean to be dis- courteoul. but if drivers know it is required by law and a few fines are imposed for infractions they will concentrate on snapping on the dimm . until it becomes almost a reflex acttion. Police cruising along our highways would certainly be kept busy the first week or two.

9 O 0 C s It was interesting to learn that most of our Canadian Prov- inces give "cost-of-living" bon- uses to their teachers. In these days of inflation how any govern- ment can fail to do this for all its employees and Justify its fail- ure is a little difficult to under- stand. If the worker is giving the same service as in the past. he should. at least, be paid the same actual. not nominal remun- eratlon. I U 0 I

Visitors will. as a matter of courtesy. utter words of praise for the locality which they are visiting. Diplomacy, tact and gen- iality demand such hypocrisy. But you can usually tell when the visitor is speaking from his heart.

There is an ardor to his words that. cannot be mistaken unless he is a veritable John Barry-

more or George Arliss whose very life work was to dlssemble. Teachers we talked to told us the teachers from other parts or Canada wcrc ccsiaiic in their praise of our Island bills-of-furs-. Probably ihe sea-foods which the inland teachers would naturally consider oxira-delicious.

Baseball Park Canteen Entered

The canteen at the Summerside Baseball Park was broken into by forcing a window sometime early yesterday morning Although about a dozen baseballs are missing. the thieves were evidently frightened away as they left a bag of chocol- ate bars and also an electric lamp.

TALES OF TAILS

Tails are ve

Bu-dland. ThareryareImrx')sosrt?”c)IIffeI-xi once: in length, even among our uwn Canadian species, from me cxtremely long one of the Brown Thrasher to the bunty little stub of the Winter Wren. Although rormally all are alike in having an even number of feathers some hi"? Square ends, some forked. and some come to a point in the middle. We consider. them ome- meni-I. but they are really useful. and certain species could no; manage without tails.

Young birds are unable to tra- iel any great distance until their tails have grown sufficiently, and in mid-summer moult adults have difficulty in getting about, pg;-tly because for a time they are with. out their full supply of wing feathers. but also for lack of tail feathers. Watch a large Hawk cir- cling overhead and see the way its tail is used as a rudder. An excellent exhibition is given by a Gannet, not only steering from left to right when in flight. but in starting, stopping, mounting, or losing altitude.

Chimney Swifts. Woodpcckers. and Brown Creepers need their tails as support. with weak feet. Swifts cling to perpendicular, in- ner walls of chimneys down which they live. and keep their balance by jabbing the needle-like ends of their tails into the bricks. Wood- pcckers and Creepers act similarly cn tree trunks while gathering in- sects which form their diet.

A tail is often a good disting- u:shiiig mark. The Redstart's fan shaped fail with flame colour on rithcr side and black across the end. the deeply forked one of the Purple Finch. and the white shafts of the Juiico are a great aid to us in identifying their owners. And two species which, to the amateur iiird watcher. appear very much alike. can often be definitely dif- icrentiated by their tails. Many people are confused between Whip- poor-wills and Nighthawks until they can obtain a view of the tails. which are very unlike in shape and in the position of the white feathers. When looking at Swai- lows flying above you remember that it was the Barn swallow which suggested the name for the swallowtail coat, while the Tree Swallows tail is cut straight across. Grackles have splendid. large falls. Starlings' are short Decidedly reddish-brown tails of Hermit Thrushes separate these birds from the cinnamon brown. cvcnly coloured Veerys. Hawks are generally seen silhouetted rgninst the sky. and so to know them apart make a careful study or the shape of their tails.
