BIRD CLUB At the Bird Club meeting Saturday, James Thorne told the members that it is almost hopeless to have many birds if a place is overran with cats. They easily climb trees and can therefore get young birds from their nest unless there is a guard around the tree. Robins and chipping sparrows are great sufferers and many nests in trellis or arbor, or in the orchard are despoiled. Jean Boyce then said in severe winter weather feeding of birds will often save their lives. As they are warm blooded they seldom perish from oold but succumb to the oold when their vitality is lowered by starvation. By a little care and forethought we can save -hem. It is a pleasure to have them feeding at our doors and to be able to study them at dose range and to have their enlivening company at a time when there is so little alife fn the oold outdoor world. It was decided to have a picnic at the Park Saturday, May 80. All members will meet there. Air Observation Pest For Week of June 1st —__ WEEKLY SCHEDULE Monday Night—8 P. M. to 8 A. M. W. A.
