This year provided better conditions than either of the two previous years. The westerly to north westerly wind was very light in early morning gradually increasing to 15 miles an hour by 4 pm. The temperature from 20 degrees to 38 was ideal and the mostly overcast sky was easy on the eyes. Why do we go to all this ef- fort? Mostly because we are in- terested in birds andipossibly want an excuse for some winter activity. It also provides an op- portunity to take part in someâ€" thing useful. The actual value is to provide some numerical re- cord of the number of birds for each species. It is not con- sidered accurate but it is indi- cative. It provides information on the shifting of wintering areas of species; of large fluc- tuations in numbers within a species and indicates where. de- tailed studies of bird popula- tions may be necessary‘ or ad- visable. For instance, a steady decline in the census records of the bald eagle and the peregrine falcon led to studies which proved conclusively that these species were having reproduc- tion problems. The great abun- dance of the blackbird family has been clearly shown in re- cords over the years and, in contrast, the decline of the blue- birds. Beef suet balls appeal to most birds and are easily made. Boil 1/?3 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water together for a few min- utes.

Our records will be sent to the American Audubon Society and to the Kitchener-Waterloo Club that complies all the Ontario records. The total number of birds counted was 5,138 and the total species, 49. This was ’the highest count ever achieved in this area. It was partly due to the excellent weather and possibly the addition of some new expert birders. The 15-mile area radius wasthe same. There were nine teams, totalling 38 persons. It took thirty-seven party miles on foot and 327 party car miles to cover the area. Birds seen for the first time: Pigeon Hawk, Snow Owl. Chipping Sparrow and White-crowned Sparrow. The Starling count almost dou- bled â€" the Maple Dump must be providing more than an ade- quate food supply this year! N o r t h e r n shrikes, Flickers, Rough-legged and S p a r r o w hawks, Mourning doves, Downy woodpeckers and Cardinals were more numerous this year. Area three had the good fortune to observe a flock of 24 Cardinals, feeding on Yellow Birch seeds in one gully. A very memorable and unusual sight to remember. The winter finches were scarce which might be an indication that their food supply is ample farther north. The many feeding stations certame are the best spots to With a needle and long lengths of No. 10 thread, string popcorn, cranberries. and gar- den peas to make garlands to drape around the branches. Raisins, currants, and cubes of cheese may also be threaded. These will attract ohickadees, catbirds, and mockingbirds. It is best to let popcorn set two or three days after popping. It becomes a little soft and threads without breaking.

Drive a couple \of wooden wedges in the hole beside the trunk to make it fit snuggly so nothing can tip the tree over. If you haven’t a used Christmas tree, just decorate a tree already growing in your yard. If you decide to have one, be sure to place it in a promin- ent place in your yard, where you can see it from a window. Just watching will bring hours of enjoyment. It is ideal for entertaining a shut-in. Then, through the years, the charming custom of the feast tree almost disappeared. How- ever, now it is having a revival. I Christmas Trees Are For The Birds! Combined, the bird's feast tree came into being and became very popular. Throughout all the countryside ‘after Christmas Trees' could be seen, decorated with garlands and bells of edi- bies. Little homemade trays were tied to the branches and filled with seeds or table-scraps. Before the end of the 17th Century, two Christmas tradi- tions had merged. The Christ- mas tree of Germany and the Swedish custom of placing sheaves of grain on the roof- tops for the wintering birds to feed on. If you would like to extend the usefulness of your Christ- mas Tree, you could give it to the birds. That‘s what they used to do years ago. Count 5,138 Birds stir. Let the mixture cool.

The two at the Maple Research Sta- tion, supervised by Charlie Weir, were the most exciting. The open water and plenty of ever- green cover make the area a perfect winter haven. A very well fed black squirrel eats an atrocious amount of the bird food and, in the process, scat- ters a lot on the ground. This gives the tree sparrOWS and Juncos a wide spread area to feed without coming in conflict with the squirrel. It is amazing how often one wildlife species unwittingly helps others. The Toronto Brodie Club census was on December 27 and they passed on to us informa- tion, including locations, of rareties that they had observed. For instance, they located a Varied Thrush, A Snowy Owl, three Glaucous Gulls and one Iceland Gull all in our area. The thrush and the Ice- land Gull remained elusive but After the survey we all met at the Russell Tilt home where everyone enjoyed telling of the day’s experiences. Gord. Mac- Kenzie compiled the data while most or the .others consumed vast quantities of food & coffee. In Annual Census it added excitement to the day to try and find them. The Maple Dump for gulls is an experience by itself. It was hard enough to try to pick out one Glaucous amongst the constantly whirl- ing, fighting gulls without even attempting an Iceland (anyway it hadn’t been back since the Brodie Census we found out later). To make the feast complete, put out a pan of water every day. Otherwise, your feathered guests may have to fly quite a distance for a drink. Hang dog biscuits on the higher bran hes to attract birds instead of dogs. Children love to make gar- lands to redecorate their Christ- mas tree. There is also an educational value as they learn about birds and their habits. The effort it takes to deck the tree will be repaid a hun- dred fold as you watch the birds feed. Trying to identify Aluminum £011 containers from 'store bought’ tarts or in- dividual pies. make ideal feed- ing trays. Punch two tiny holes in the bottom. about one inch apart. Put the ends of a piece of wire through from the top of dish, and twist tightly around the,branch. Fill with whatever seeds or scraps you may have. a Birdseed mixtures, for feed- ing wild birds, are available in all supremarkets. Rolie-d dry oats appeal to many species. Scatter it under the tree or put in feeder trays. Barley, uficobked rice, and sunflower seeds will bring birds galore. Doughnuts, even stale ones, hung on the branches, attract many feathered friends. Espec- ially if smeared with peanut butter mixture. Peanut butter alone, will choke birds. But mixed with a little cornmeal, it is a favorite delicacy. Dabs of the peanut butter mixture may also be put along the branches and trunk of the tree. Bread. biscuits, cookies. and bits of piecrust will please all birds. Bits of pork fat. tied to the branches, will attract blue-jays. nuthatches, and woodpeckers.

You may contact him at Box 1135, Stouffville, if you are interested in graphoanalysis, The part of the analysis I was given to keep consisted of five typewritten pages. I did recognize myself in most of the notations â€"- not all of them favorable â€"â€" and it was amazingly accurate in my opinion. However some were definitely not my traits.

He then produced a sheet with approximately five hundred check points out of which about one hundred had notations beside them. These were traits which had shown themselves in my writing to varying degrees. (I allowed myself the luxury of biting one fingernail as I scanned the page). It seemed every flourish, each crossed “t”, dotted “i” and unconnected letter had been accounted for. Not only that, some traits were repeating them- selves frequently! Could I reveal that much so easily? ~ ' It;s a faséinating field John Peckitt . . . and as for me, I intend to use a typewriter from now on! When I visited Mr. Peckitt, he showed me the results of his analysis and some of the ways he had arrived at these conclusions. One of the tools in his scientific bag was a small, clear plastic card called an “emotional responsiveness gauge.” It divides 180° into thriteen specific areas by degrees. These areas measure the angles, forward and back of one’s handwriting. No sample of handwriting yet analysed has shown a constant angle. Using information gleaned with the aid of this gauge, Mr. Peckitt prepared what he called a “perspectograph.” It was a bar graph prepared from the angles of one hundred upward strokes. The first of his conclusions reached from this graph was that I am “a subjective type pfirson, )strongly influenced by the emotions”. (Oh, o . . .

The present educational system frequently lacks both sound practical guidance and direction on the types of further education within the scope of each pupil. In the covering letter to Mr. Davis it was explained that there are two vital points: In many schools guidance seems haphazard.

Vocational Schools 0 The student has practical skills, or practical goals; alt- ernatively he may not know what he wants to do or be or his aptitudes are uncertain. 0 Grant “Technicans Diploma.” 0 Could advance to college with credits if his latent talents develop. but he would not be eligible for university.
