Jo6 Lanier $0H i 1 9"? I Paul Harvey, radio newscaster, got back on track last week after his meddling in the ERA issue and made some fairly decent observations. He said Americans in the 1980s ? learned or discovered two things. . .One, that the |overnment has no money. The money it spends is ours. 1 .Number two, the unions have no jobs; the workers do not Work for a union. . .One other thing he said during his program that day that made sense. . .These folks wanting to do away with nuclear weapons. . ."If 1 am going to be killed in war, what difference does it make if it is by a nuclear bomb, a high-powered rifle, or a brick bat ? dead is dead." . . .Also, you cannon un-invent the nuclear weapons. . .If the major powers, the U.S. and Russia, do away with their nuclear weapons completely, some small country could easily set itself up as a world dictator by having such weapons. . .These were some pretty good ? thoughts for Mr. Harvey after getting all messed up in the ERA thing... ***** We have another bird friend. You might recall that a few years ago I wrote about having a bird friend who wanted - me to crack and shell its sunflower seeds. . .At the bird feeder behind the house, I had noticed one bird having ? quite a time with the sunflower seeds. . .He had pecked at . them, dropped them from a limb, and even dropped a rock on them. . .With him watching from a tree, one day I cracked and shelled a few for him. Every day or so that summer, I would shell some of the seeds for him. He ? became unafraid and would sit on the feeder waiting for me to shell more. . .Well, he went away when the cold weather came. Then, the next spring, I was sitting in the den when I heard a knocking on the window. It was my " bird friend back. He had brought several sunflower seeds and placed them on the window airconditioner and was pecking on the windowpane. . .1 went out, shelled the seeds and noticed that there were three other similar looking birds perched in a nearby tree. . .1 don't know what happened after that day, but I haven't seen him * again. . .At least, I haven't been asked to shell any sunflower seeds. . .Last week, another bird (this time a robin) decided to make friends with the family. . .Donna ?w.as the one he selected. She was mowing the lawn and this robin began to follow her up and down and back again. Apparently he was looking tor food, but when Donna would stop, he would walk right up to her feet with no fear. m . .And. if she remained stopped for very long, the bird ? would look up at her as if to say. . .Hurry up. Let's go. . .1 don't think he found a whole lot to eat, because he followed her for almost 45 minutes, getting braver with each round of mowing. He even got hold of her shoestring and gave it a yank one time while she was stopped. I think because she made friends with the bird, she should be allowed to mow all the lawn all summer. . .No telling what Akind of a lasting friendship they could work up before "winter sent one south and the other inside. . .So, on behalf of Donna and the bird, 1 surrender all my summer mowing chores. . .Son-of-a-Gun. . .
