Birds are normally quiet in the early af- ternoon. during their supposed siesta. To stand still and listen at this time gives one a feeling of being in another world of sus- pended peacefulness. Around four o’clock. the same place sounds very gay. The musical twitter- ings of the tree sparrows are pre- dominant, interspersed with the light smack note of the slate-col- ored juncoes, the nasal "yank" of the white~breasted nuthatch, the loud chunk of several song sparrows and the very abrupt plk of the downy woodpecker. As one slowly comes nearer the seed feeders flutter gaily about in the weeds. Very few birdwatchers share this ornithologist's gift for bird- ing by ear. May, when there are so many call-notes and songs. might be rather a confusing time to start. Right now, if you have a feeding station near your home you can become acquainted with the cardinal’s sharp “clinic” as he arrives for his breakfast, almost before it is light. Later, you will hear his clear, slurred whis- tle and be able to identify it. There will also be the bird who is named after its best-known call. a rapid “chick-a-dee". Lis- ten carefully during the winter and familiarize yourself to its slower, more softly whistled "dee-dee" with the first note higher. Many amateurs do come to know a great number of birds by their unique songs and call notes and. once you have started bird listening you will want to continue for the pure joy of add- ing just another known song to your expanding ‘list.

Meeting The bairns are always a bit disappointed When the story ends. They seem to think that their itchy-footed grandmother should have played an important part in this adventure. I try to explain that it was excitement enough for me just to see the porter navigating the aisle of a swaying coach with a pail of boiling Water in ‘one hand and an armful of towels in the other, not to have participated in the actual birth of the baby myself. The one they like best is the tale about the arrival of a new baby on the train between Vancouver and Jasper Park last summer, when train crew members proved more excited than the young mother. She was an Indian girl still in her teens and she boarded the train at Blue.‘ River. Before we had travelled far, frantic wires were being sent ahead for a. nurse, or doctor, to board the train and relieve the conductor of his enforced responsibility. In the wee small hours of the morning, while most passengers snoozed cosily in their sleeping accommodations. unaware of all the ex- citement, a lusty howl announced the arrival of another Canadian citizen. The small papoose was wrapped in numerous CNR towels and a huge blanket. His mother cuddled him, as the pair was taken off the train and bundled into an ambulance at Jasper Park early the next morning. With hard little chins digging into both of my collar bones, and a pair of incredulous blue eyes gazing at me from the floor they plead for more stories about my “adventures”. These youngsters indulge in a bit of hero worship as far las their paternal grandmother is concerned. That is why I have never told them I should probably have fainted dead away, had I been faced with such a chore as midwifery. I experienced enough cold shudders when the porter rolled his huge black eyes at me as he said,1 “I’ve had six myself, but I never birthed one yet. How about you?” I was just ready to tell him I was the legendary “Typhoid Mary” and not safe to have near a new born infant, when the train stopped and picked up not one, but two nurses. When the tale reaches this point I change the sub- ject. I explain about the Museum of Natural History in Regina. They never tire of being told that dinosaurs roamed the prairies 70 v 100 million years ago, in a trop- ical atmosphere. This is the prelude to my enthusiastic description of this museum wonderland of pictorial his- tory, Where show case after show case depicts the natural habitat of the animals now peculiar to Saskat- chewan. ' There was a time when the three bairns would hit my front door with a whoop and head right for a toy box I keep in the sunroom, especially for their amusement. But times have changed since their grandmother be- came a v/agabond. Now they settle down, soon after arrival for a visit, with a small blond head on either of my shoulders and a lanky ten-year-old stretched at my feet. Ricky, the eldest bairn, is already planning a trip to this Queen city of the prairies, where he can see first- hand the exhibit of Eskimo art and the almost unbeliev- able collection of bird life that is arranged in several of the 101 cases devoted to nature study. Most of all they are fascinated by the fact that 200 children participate in Saturday morning programs at the museum. These include films, drawing from museum exhilgits and field study trips. It’s confusing, thinks young Ricky, with all the wonderful things there are to see in Canada, just where to' start. But with the new reduced group fares and complete package plans for travel by rail, announced recently by the C.N.R., and blessed with parents who believe in having their children “experience Canada”, these three youngsters stand a very good chance of enjoying a visual education, embracing their native land. Irbroug‘ht back withme from my summer visit in Regina, a brochure of the museum. Their great delight is in studying the picture of the “Bambi” case, inspired by the Walt Disney filmy It is so true to life that they can pick out the squirrels, bunnies, huge old owl, ground hog, and, of course, numerous birds.

Two verses of “When Mothers of Salem" were sung while baby Janet was car- ried to the front of the church and placed in the arms of her god- mother Mrs. Maurine Lawrence of London, England. Rev. Ken- nedy led in prayer after which he performed the rite of baptism. This was followed by prayer and singing of the remaining verses of the opening hymn. Little Jan- et Merry is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Robbins of King R. R. 3. Her godmother is Mr. Robbin’s sister, who flew from London, England, for this event and arrived at Malton airport on October 24. Janet’s beautiful christening gown has been used for members of the Robbins family for the past 39 years and was brought from England for this ocoasion. The christening cake also from England, was made by another sister of Janet’s father. CORRESPONDENT: MRS. MILTON WELLS. R.
