BIRD NOTES
Ray Prescott read an article by
Charlotte Hilton Green, "Lets Be
come Familiar with Our Native aiid
Valuable Sparrows." The term
"sparrows" covere a multitude of
birds to the uninitiated. The white
throated sparrow is one of our most
familiar and abundant birds of win
ter. The song sparrow is a perma
nent winter visitor all over our State
and they breed in both the mountains
and in some places along the coast
in summer.
Of them all, only one is resident
throughout the whole State and
through the whole year. And that
one, the shy sweet singer with the
song of "a raindrop's silvery patter,"
is the field sparrow. Unfortunately,
all too often it is killed indiscrimi
nately as an "old sparrow." It has a
reddish or coral bill. It also has a
more reddish brown back, a longer
tail and more buffy underparts. There
are no spots on the breast. It is
found principally in grassy fields
but frequently the neighborhood of
houses and gardens wh^re it feeds on
insects and weed seeds. They leave
two or three broods and Mrs. Green
says we cannot have too much field
sparrow wealth nor too many of
these shy, sweet singers with the
bubbling musical notes.
Paschall Barrett read about the
friendly little chipping sparrow from
the same article. This bird feeds
and nests about the dooryard. It is
a permanent resident in the Eastern
part of the State. Sometimes - its
nest is in the rose arbor by the porch
or in a shrub or vine or 20 or SO feet
high in a tree. It -is the most do
mestic of all sparrows.
We might learn our native spar
ros and then they will not pay the
price of the ignorance of man and
then some gtw or sling shot will not
end suddenly a small, joyous winged
life because it is "just an old spar
row." For gon._ forever then is the
bit of funny happy little call or the
"raindrop's silvery patter."
Watermelon was served after the
meeting.

ed Nations now find themselves in a
war of survival, and
WHEREAS this nation, as the
arsenal of democracy, is laboring to
the utmost to provide the free peo
ples of the world with arms and
weapons, and
WHEREAS the collection of. scrap
and waste materials will increase our
national war production and hasten
the day of victory;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RE
SOLVED that as an organisation the
Farmville Rotary Club pledges its
full cooperation with the scrap sal
vage campaign of Farmville, and that
each member bring a contribution to
the next meeting.
It might help solve the problem if
there were some regulation of the
hours and wages of sin.
Scrap iron and steel represent half
