The rabbit population is up this year and hunters are "having top luck. in a certainty 14 the swamps remain green much longer the bunny population will undergo a severe thinning out. I wonder what effect we ravens have on the rabbits. Every stroll I take in the wooded back country I ear their harsh cmaking and watch them .os.1ing on ebony wings at tree level always searching with all geelng eyes for whatever moves or crouehes on the swamp floor. I believe the raven has -the sharpest eyes of any bird that (lies, better even then the crow or wildgoose. Once I heard one croakiing its way toward me and stepped under s thick spruce tree and waited mo- tionless. As it happened the big bird elected to slight on a tree within ten yards of me.

looking back over the years many Xmas Mys peas in review, each one a story in itself, but the ones that come to mind most vividly are those spent at home with the family circle still unbroken. some during the let Great War years are better not remembered. That's the way with life . . . we have to take the bitter with the sweet. Its Just a short Jump to the New Year when we will look back on our successes or disappointments in the hunting field and lay plane to do better in the year that lies ahead but . . y as the immortal Bobbie Burns wrote: "The best laid plans of mice and men" Nevertheless its fun planning to outwit that wise old (look leader that is still crowing

mp in his favourite spruce thicket in

spite of our efforts to line the sights on him. - O O O '

Anything that comes too easy soon loses its appeal and that's why hunters never tire of the game. The planning and anticipation in the hunting game contribute to the enjoyment every bit as much as the actual shoot, bringing home the game is Just one part of the fun and after the platter is cleaned and the bones picked the old think- ing cap is donned and strategy planned for the next outing. with this hwppy thought in mind I take this opportunity to wish all readers of the Corner a Merry Xmas and happy hunting in the year that lies ahead.

Strange But True

By F. ii. MacArthur

The mark most people set out to make in the world is an "8" sign with ,two vertical lines.

Among the Parrot tribe the large Macsws are said to be the best talk- ers. Some of them can whistle a tune very well and imitate laugh- ter in an extraordinary manner.

An Amazon kept in e. West and London home and owned by an oificer in the tower of London could imitate perfectly a bugle call. men it would pipe up. "Who goes there? The keys; whose keys? Queen Victoria's keys. pass the keys etc. There are some amazing stories about these clever birds and the funny things they say. Here is an old one I read in a book titled "Talking parrots: "mere was a par- rot kept in the bar of a country inn and well known to numerous customers. It imitated what they said, and also what the proprietor said, and one of the things that he often had to repeatwhen his cus-, tomers were impatient was: "One at a time. please. gentlemen: one at a time."-

one day someone forgot to close the door of the bird's cage and it flew away to a nearby field of grain. A search was made to find it and lo and behold it was the proprietor himself who came upon it in the midst of a noisy group at rooks. He drew nearer to see what all the noise was about. The rooks were pulling the feathers out of

the parrot and the parrot would

Card of Thanks

I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the Doctors and staff of Prince County Hospital for their kindness and care while I was a patient there: also to my good neighbours and friends who sent flowers, fruit, cards and letters.
