What 1 understood from the article was the volunteers surveyed and recorded breeding birds within- an area of 10 square kilometers. This, I thought was a reasonable sized area being a little over 3 kilometers square. The province is divided into two squares and volunteers do work in each of the squares. So off went a letter to see if there was a square in this îm- mediate area in which 1 could operate to record birds breeding and nesting. Last week 1 received a square and alI necessary information along with recording cards for the Atlas and recording cards for the Royal Ontario Museum to be filled out on actual nests in the area. The package contained a map with the area outlined in red. Much greater than 10 square kilometers. In fact it is a thou- sand percent greater. My curiosity was aroused and it was back to, the news release where 1 understood 1 had read 10 square kilometers. What was printed and what I tnderstood was in- deed different. The printed work was a 10 kilometer square and this ends up into a 100 square kilometers. This reminded me of a saying often coming forth from Mayor Rickard when backed into a political corner, "Wha t I said is not necessarily what you heard nor what I said is not necessarily always what 1 meant. " (Th at may not be the actual content of his comments but 1 thin k it ;is close.) Well back to the birds. The square, 1 accept as being within the realm of possibility for the late spring and summer of 1982. The south-east corner is just north of Perrytown (north of Welcome) and runs west to a line running north, east of Elizabethville to the Mllbrook road. There were other surprises none the Ieast being the reliability of the bird nesting in the area. This is interestîng and understandable when one realizes that intent of the survey. This 1 had passed over very lightly in the first reading. To see a bird atop of a fence post is not really a sound in- dication that it is breeding and nesting in the area. But if you see the bird again atop the post some two weeks later there is more reliability that it may be nesting in the area. One of another reliability test is if the bird is calling its mate. This to me presents a problem. How does one tell whether the bird, sitting atoll the post, is singing because it is happy, through habit or calling its mate. Quite likely there is a dif- ference but that is just out of my league. The atlassing of birds is something that has been carried out in a number of countries and just recently introduced into On- tario. It started in Ontario in 1981 and is to be carried out through the summer of 1985. We do visit ou., square again in 83, 84 and 85 but the job will be a lot easier in those subse- quent years. We have enjoyed the winter and in fact skiing is still possible but we now look forward to spring and the advent of atlassing. meat trade in the area.

United, Way holds annual meeting Altamae Eherlee, president of the board of dîrectors of the Whitby, Oshawa, Newcastle United Way, pointed out at the annual meeting recently that more conimunity organizations will have to depend on United Way Funds in the future. She said in turn will mean greate'r demands by the United Way in seeking contributions from the general public. Eberlee said, "This then is the year to rekindie the spirit of volunteerism." "We must find new ways to raise public awareness of our service"' She also said it must be known that the United Way is alive and well and answer-, ing the needs of the many demands being made upon it by mrember agencies who in turn provide service within the communities. Such agencies as the Red Cross, Mentally Retarded, Distress Centre and others depend on the volunteer dollars provided through the United Way. Eberlee said the demand for that money con- tinues to increase." The president told her au- dience that many agencies are now unable to expand with some having to hold the line with part-time staff. She said the United Way could give no assurance that next year would be any better. Cut backs in funding from the governments will place a greater burden on volunteer service, she said. The United Way collected $1,313,000 in the faîl of 1981 but with an amount of $ 164,472 pledges being writ- ten off From 1980 it has left $1,265,835 to be distributed among the 33 member agen- cies this year.' A total of $5,650 more was distributedl this year over that of 1981 with some agencies being cut back while others received slight increases. Eberlee also informed the meeting that the United Way had set up an ad hoc comm it- tee, headed by Harry Morris, to review the philosophy and strategies of fund-raising and to prepare for the inevitable straîns that will take place.
