Information gathered by game technicians shows that mowing destroys 40 percent of the pheasant nests in hayfields. Mowing may injure or kill one out of five nesting pheasant hens. Quail, prairie chickens and songbirds consider hayfields and grasslands a nursery. Mowing operations destroy their nests. Cottpntail rabbits, just old enough to leave their nests, are extremely vulnerable to mowing machines. Even deer may be killed. Jack Calhoun of the Illinois Department of Conservation said he has seen dead fawns with missing legs or feet in newly mowed fields close to woodlands. Deer born after the peak of the fawning season are most likely to be killed. Game technicians realize that much of the wildlife loss is inevitable in an intensively farmed state like Illinois. But the toll would be reduced if grassy areas not devoted to crop production were left undisturbed until after the nesting season is over. Hillsides, road shoulders antj^, forest glades shoQlQ not be mowed until after midsummer. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that the mowing of lands diverted from LEARNING . . .

The trail was developed at the National Arboretum to enable blind people to see and enjoy nature. From C. William Nunsber: ger, Souderton, Pa.: C rossing the threshhold of another Lenten Season as marked in liturgical churches such as St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Telford, Pa., my thoughts are aroused to the days of my youth. I recall long ago days when the church of my confirmation, St. John's Lutheran, Sumncytown, I'a., observed the seven Wednesdays before Master as the Lenten Season. In ^ mystical way the aromatic odor of fastnachts (doughnuts) baked by my mother returns to fill my nostrils. There was nothing special about them except they were homemade and a taste treat to a. generation not used to so much production line baking. I recall, too, how it seemed to me young people had little or no role at all to play in the life of the church, much less in its services. Young people were not challenged to take an active part in the life of the parish. This was the responsibility of the pastor and a few older men. Today this role is reversed and young people are being encouraged to direct their energies, talents, enthusiasm, into channels of church life. Without the participation of youth in the Lenten services at St. Paul's Lutheran in Telford the aura could well be that of a long past time. However, as they give of their time as ushers and choir singers, especially, there is a vibrance of life, a pulsating of futurity. The church is alive because it stays young!
