Swings, slides, seasaws and the merry-go-round were in constant use and offered much pleasure and exercise. Before lonch Mies Bettie Joyner told the members to save the sang birds because no task is too much trouble for us in caring for and making our birds happy. T%e gnat value of bird study is that it teaches people to find out things for themselves and hear what is going on in nature. Miss Joyner said if we are to attract the birds in summer we must furnish them proper nesting -places and houses, cover, food, building material and water for drinking and bathing. If we want to keep them in winter, we must again furnish then with shelter, foid and water and protect them from their enemies, especially cats which are undoubtedly the worst enemy. The alley cat or stray cat should be exterminated. Old pieces of fertiliser sacks, six or eight indies spuare, tacked up with one tack in the middle and short lengths of twine make excellent best building material. Mrs. Barrett made pictures of the group and Howard Pope Murphrey was welcomed ae a new member. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE !
