.,*â- ;,,. ^ Tim. To Plan War On Crows, Starlings The starlings have not yet begun fO make nuisances of themselves, but Nature-lovers have already had Occasion to notice the increashig depredations of crows, the black, ugly birds which each year do â-  great deal more harm than ^ood, both from the farmer's and the naturalist's point of view, says the Woodstock Scntinel-Rcview. Now would be a good time for naturalists, fish and game enthusi- asts and urban and county officials to get together to plan a sound canipaiKu against both starlings and crows. The vile mess and the unholy racket of the starlings are still vivid memories from last sum- mer and fall; every effort should be made to prevent a repetition of the plague. -Vnd anyone who has watched a crow rob nests, pillage crops and be a general nuisance â- will agree that an anti-starling cam- paign could very well be expanded to include a drive against crows. • • » Only a day or so ago we received a letter from a corrospondcnt which will bear repcatinp; in part: "One morning last week I had occasion to go out on the bus, and just west of the city a very large flock of crows was circling around. There must have been hundreds of them, and it reminded me of the times I have run out to scare them from the robins' nests in our orchard, where I have seen them make off with little birds in their beaks. "I railed Mr. Dutton and had a talk with Iiini about the matter and lie says the great horned owls, the birds intended to keep the crows limited in number, have been shot •off to such an extent that the crows have multiplied out of all propor- tion and there is a very great dan- ger that they may exterminate our song birds if nothing is done to stop them. ".â- \ few men try shooting these crows in nesting time but what is needed is a detcrmmed drive throughout the countryside such as is put on for jack rabbits'* India Must Be Strong, United •â-  Malialnia Gandhi, leader of more than a quarter of a million Hindus, said over the week-end that India must be strong and united when that country assumes its independ- ence in June of next year, also the departure of the British will mere- ly pave the way for the arrival of some other power to dominate the country. We are glad to see, says the I,ethb-idge Herald, that Mr. Gandhi has seen much of Asia brought under the domination of one grct power which, acting as a dictatorship and with a state police force to do its bidding, is a l)ast master of infiltration. The weakness of India with its castes, factions and general lack of co- hesion would be an open invitation. The world would like to see In- dia free. But the world would not like to see the British depart only to have another power walk in. Neither would the Hindus and Moslems.

CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM TEEN TOWN TOPICS By Gwendoline P. Clarke Signs of spring at Ginger Farm! One daffodil in full bloom; three stalks of asi>aragus two inches high; a few clusters of rhubarb leaves; 300 chicks â€" minus six â€" running around in the brooder pen; two new calves at the barn; an almost empty coal bin; a mother robin sitting on her nest over the front door on the outside; a long black cobweb hanging from the front door on the inside; the beginning of daylight saving time â€" and the date on the calendar. .Signs that arc not of spring! At night â€" out of doors â€" one's breath is as visible as the steam from a boiling kettle: white frost on the roof tops and on the grass; thin ice on puddles and water furrows; goose flesh on one's person as one rises in the morning to put on the fires: bare trees and a cold wind blowing: and ... oh well, let's skip it â€" let's talk about something pleasant. * * » Something pleasant? Sure that's easy. Last Thursday, for instance, 1 was invited to a special meeting of a local branch to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Wo- men's Institute in Canada. I was a little dubious as to whether I should go since I am not in the habit of leaving chicks for any length of time for the first two weeks. However, Partner thought he could look after them â€" so away We went (my hat and I!) with an- other member for company. I was glad I didn't miss it. It was a wonderful meeting; friendly, well organized, a good programme pro- vided, and finally there was the tea, which was well served, dainty and abundant. I describe the tea in that order because, to my way of thinking, it is a matter for com,- nient. ♦ » « Probably everyone has been at teas and lunches where the food supply was more than enough but where the service was very poor. Haven't you had the cxperioncc of ?â- - Sdve Hour milk problem ^\% easq waij I â- fr \ ..|f you don'l know," says the Borden Cow. "how easy it is to have pasteurized whole milk-any- where.

THI BORDEN COMPANY IIMITIO turning down cakes and cookies galore as they were passed to you while you thirsted for the second cup of tea that never same? Or perhaps the tea arrived but the cream and sugar didn't Don't you think at all these social affairs the tea or coffee should be the first consideration? Generally the room or hall is crowded; one gels hot, tired and thirsty, and one antici- pates longingly that good, hot cup of tea which we hope is in the offing. More than once when "eats" have come around time and again without the cups being replenished I have felt like shouting â€" "Give tne tea or I die!" * * If However, at this tea there was nothing like that. Everything was just perfect â€" including the marvel- lous birthday cake which was made by one of the members. There were also African violets â€" in pots â€" to decorate the tea table. Big, full- blooming plants that were the envy -of lii&rly every woman present. The'suest speaker chose as her topic the evils of self-pity as com- pared with the fulness of life which comes from living and working for others,. If an illustration were need- ed it could surely have been found in this particular branch of the W.I. This birthday celebration couldn't have been planned if the women had indulged in self-pity. In fact the branch, as a whole, which is now a live and energetic organization, is actually in existence because women during the past fifty years, had given of their time, their work and their enthusiasm. ♦ * ♦ Listen â€" I hear a tractor! That means one of our neighbours is out ploughing. Partner must hav): heard it too for he has just announced he is going up to the back field to see what the land is like. Farm- ers are all alike. Let one of their number start ploughing, seeding, mowing, or cutting crop, and the rest cannot be happy until they arc at it too. I have seen it happen so often. Harking back to this crime of self-pity. I mu?t confess I have been indulging in it quite freely while typing this copy. The rea- son? Yesterday I cut my finger on a sardine can. The cut is deep ragged and right on top of the finger. Try typing some day with a sore finger and you will know what I mean. Even when I sort of wrap it aroimd the next finger it gets in the way. And if I acci- dentally use it to tap a key . . . ouch! Partner is back from his tour of inspection. He reports the remains of a snowbank in one fence corner, hepaticas in another and more work everywhere than he likes to con- template. Pnit the ground is de- finitely not ready to plough. Lost Spring "Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of Nature, if the pros- pect of an early morning walk docs not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you, know that the morning and spring of your life are past. Thu»- you may feel your pulse." â€" Henry D. Thoreau. ^ By BARRY HURKAR : Today we turn the spotlight on Gordon Sinclair Jr., of Etobicoke High School. The youi.ger Gordon has been filling the shoes of hit famous father, Gordon Sinclair at a newscaster at CFRB, Toronto, while his pa is on vacation in the States. Gordon Jr. handles the newscast- ing very well, and, if he so desires, will likely wind up with just such a job some day. Besides attending Etobicoke High School as a stu- dent, he is co'.ditor of the school paper, writes •» column for Cana- dian High News and another week- ly and then docs the daily broad- casting stint in the bargain. In his late teens, young Sinclair Is on the threshold of a good journalistic career and no one can argue but that he is off to a good start. Best of luck, Gordon. » ♦ » Also in the spotlight this week is Mary Lou Dilworth, teen-age student of Oakville Collegiate, To- ronto, who writes a cupid-advice column for the Canadian High News, a student weekly that cir- culates the province. Mary Lou was recently featured in a two-page spread in the New World maga- zine .On top of that, she appeared a few weeks ago as a guest on the CBS programme, "We the Peo- ple," and had a nice trip to New York out of the deal. Seems as if quite a crop of juniors are aspir- ing to the writing field and, believe me, a by-line at the top of • reg- ular column at 17 and 18 it nothing to sneeze at, and doesn't go unno- ticed either. Many of you reading this, have already written to Mary Lou for advice on your love mix- ups and what-nots and the little gal that jots down the answers is doing a swell job of it. * * * The XN'cslon teen-club recently hit the news pages the hard way, with some of the members having number nines planted in their facet and their noggins bumped against the floor. You no doubt heard about it. A few rowdies decided to enter a dance the club were hav- ing, (loaded' down with laughing soup) and when refused admit- tance, started to play rough house. A night in the cooler no doubt made the bad boys feel different about the whole thing. » ♦ • We are in receipt of a * poem from a local who dared us to use it. Although a little zany it con- tains a little truth, so here it is: 'TIS SPRINO The snow is gone and spring It here, The rains have come and it is drear, The grass is turning and the buds are out. Mom's a cleaning, pop has the gout, The clouds go sailing far and near. But anyway, spring is here. * ♦ • According to some figures we read recently (and we can't remem- ber just what they were) crime is on the down-swing. Believe it or not, there were fewer arrests in 1«4C, than in '45 in one of Can- ada's largest cities. Crime among the juveniles is letting up at last. Fewer cases of break-ins, drunk- eimess and the sordid type are re- ported, all of which is very nice to hear. How Canadian youth com- pares with that of the U.S. in crime actions at the moment, I don't know, but let's all work to- gether to keep all Canadian crimes on the dowM-swing. * * * Down near the south-west cor- ner of Ontario is a place known as Kingsvillc. To most of America it is not known as Kingsville. but the Jack Miner r>ird Sanctuary. If any of you teeners are planning a trip this summer in that vicinity, by all means go down there and visit this famous spot. Big plans are being made for the sanctuary by Manley F. Miner, son of the late Jack Miner. This memorial to a great lover of birds is one of the beauty spots of our province.

Don't forget that those bird houses you built last winter should be out now. Almost any night from 10 p.m., on you can hear the Canadian geese honk- ing overhead as tiicy fiy to their northern playground for the sum- mer. If you can remember, bend an ear some night and when you hear that sound from above it will give you a thrill â€" see if it doesn't.
