THE BIRD CLUB
Bobby Russell was * welcome visitor
at the meeting of the Bird Club
Saturday and read an article on the
Wood Duck, .which was written by
U. H. Brimley, State Bird Club President.
According to Mr. Brimley, this
bird is unquestionably the most beautiful
member of the Duck family and
occurs all over the State, but more
plentifully in the ooastal plain region.
To .prevent its complete anihilation,
Fisheries and Wild Life placed it on
the fully protecaed list with no open
season. Due to this protective measure
Wood Ducks are again to be found
in our Eastern counties.
Wood Ducks nest in hollow trees,
usually in or near water, l^ie nest is
deeply lined with down which the female
bird plucks from her breast,
and there are about * dozen eggs! If
the nest is discovered the young birds
scatter in one direction while the
mother emulating injury, goes in the
opposite direction, thus giving the
young birds a chance to disappear by
dieing.

TO A STRANGER
You a stranger—no,
I have known you all my life.
You are a part of me—
For we had the same earthly girth;
We have the same earthly needs,
food, shelter and drink;
We share the same longings for understanding
and companionship;
We share the same knowledge of
our frailness;
And each of us, all our lives, seek
aolance and a firm foundation.
You are a part of me that I need—
And there is a part pf me that I.
must give to you, I
A stranger—no—my brother.
