English Lad's Request Brings Speedy Action A lad in England, unknowp' here, who loves birds set things humming in Southern Pines last week, causing a busy secretary and a bank executive to hustle around overtime to give hto the information he wanted. It hap pened like this. Miss Mary Wintyen, an author- itv. on birds who before the press of her secretarial work was a long-time Southern Pines Bird Club member, serving as presi dent for 10 years, found in her postoffice box on Saturday a let ter addressed to the secretary of the Bird club. Knowing that club officers were not yet back from the North, and noting the English postmark, she opened the letter and read the following, sent from 55 Sandringham road. South Gos- forth, Newcastle on Tyre 3 England: “Dear Sir: “I would be pleased if you could put me in touch with a boy about my own age who is interested in birdwatching. “I am interested in all birds, especially sea birds, waders and wild fowl. “I would like the chance of , finding out which birds live in your part of the U. S. A. and something of their habits. Yours sincerely, Leo McGpwen.” Miss Wintyen thought that a Boy Scout would make the ideal correspondent for the English lad, so on Sunday she contacted Norris Hodgkins, Jr., Troop Committee chairman, to have him suggest one. Sunday night he and James Menzel, of Troop 73, who is work ing for his bird merit badge, call ed on Miss Wintyen to get Leo’s address, and Jimmy was briefed on his new “appointment.” Miss Wintyen then went into ac tion to locate a copy of Dr. Achorn’s bird book, written a number of years ago and at pres ent not available at the local book store. After numerous inquiries she finally found that she could purchase a copy frorri Levi Packard of Pinebluff. On Wed nesday, half a week from the time Leo’s letter arrived, a reply was on its way by air mail, bearing the information that the book was following by regular mail. Miss Wintyen wrote the boy a long, interesting letter, excerpts from which The Pilot asked per mission to share with its readers: “You asked to be put in touch with a boy of about your own age, but Leo, you didn’t mention how old you were. Nevertheless I decided to get in touch with the Scoutmaster who would select a Boy Scout to really answer your letter. He is a nice lad and you will be hearing from him. shortly ! “To give you an idea, better' than any letter could possibly do,' of the birds that can be identified in and arPund Southern Pines, ] am sending you tomorrow a book called “A Guide To The Winter' Birds of the North Carolina Sand hills.Don’t let the ‘winter’ mis lead you to think that^it is a list of birds we see only in the winter' time, because under each identi fication and description of a spe cies you will find the distribution, which tells whether or not we have the bird all year round, just in the winter, or if it is a tran sient. Then again, the pictures throughout the book of Southern Pines, Aberdeen, Pinehurst and Pinebluff (towns within a radius of seven or so miles) were taken many years ago (1928) and of course years have made great changes, yet it will give you an idea of our trees, especially the longleaf pines. “I have a number of feeders and bird baths in my yard. During the winter months I buy on the ave rage of 10 pounds of feed a week for the scamps. This summer the mockingbirds nested in my rose bush and a pair of Carolina Wbens raised a family of four in an old tin can just inside my garage. I happened to be present when the four babies left their nest the first time. Quite a sight. “I must tell you that in August of 1951 I spent six memorable days in England. Will never for get the all-day tour from London through your charming country side to Stratford on Avon. On that trip I saw birds, but the guide, well versed in history, was unable llo tell me their names, and that goes for the trees and flowers, too I felt then that ,a guide should have a little' knowledge of the flora of the land as well as of its history. You have a wonderful land, a storehouse of treasures that are both the work of nature and the work ■ of man. Many of those .treasures I saw, many I missed, but hope, some day, to go back to the charm and wealth of yoi’r British scenes. “Before I end this long letter the thought keeps coming to my mind and it has puzzled me, how you ever got the name of the Southern Pines Bird Club. How did you?” Kenfutky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 4 Years Old • 86 Proof THE DANT DISTILLERY CO.
