The Zebulon Record
POTTER PATTER
By Eloise Potter
Several weeks ago a visitor
came to our bird feeding station
whom we could not identify. Af
ter looking at all the bird pictures
in our books, we still could not
give even a family name. Unable
to endure the suspense any long
er, I telephoned Gladys Baker. She
identified the stranger as a tufted
titmouse before I half finished my
description.
The conversation soon left tit
mice and turned to books about
birds. Miss Baker not only gave
me some helpful advice but also
generously offered to let me bor
row some of her books to see if I
wanted to purchase my own copies.
Among them were Birds of the
South by Charlotte Hilton Green,
Wonders of the Bird World by
Helen G. Cruickshank, and a field
guide to birds by Allen D. Cru
ickshank.
The Cruichshanks, a husband
and wife team of writers and pho
tographers, were among the celeb
rities Miss Baker met at the Au
dubon Nature Camp in Maine last
summer. Last week end Gladys
attended the Carolina Bird Club
meeting in Henderson, and as
winner of their scholarship she
participated in the program. Upon
returning she telephoned me to
give an enthusiastic report of the
fine people who make up the CBC
membership and of the interesting
projects (including field trips)
planned for the year ahead.

One aim of the CBC is to interest
young people in appreciating, en
joying and protecting wildlife. It
is not enough for North Carolina
wildlife to be defended by a hard
core of professional conservation
ists, nature writers and photogra
phers, amateur bird watchers, and
nature-wise sportsmen. The state
needs thousands of plain citizens
who understand the importance of
protecting animals in danger of
extinction, maintaining habitats,
observing game laws, and prevent
ing wanton slaughter of birds that
fight insect and rodent pests.
No wonder Gladys Baker felt
at home among the CBCers! For
years she has been teaching and
preaching their message in the
classroom and throughout her
community.
In my opinion, the CBC could
not have picked a better recipient
for its scholarship. Where nature
study is concerned, Miss Baker
radiates enthusiasm. A friend of
mine once said, “I can’t think of
anyone I’d rather have introduce
my child to God’s beautiful world
than Gladys Baker.” Thanks to a
sassy little tufted titmouse, I
know that gracious compliment is
well deserved.
