Woods, Water end Wlldife By: Ron Reid - Federation of Ontario Naturalluts As usual, my August was highlighted by leading a wilderness trip for Canadian Nature Tours, and as usual, the trip yielded somne une- pected treats. Our biggest surprise came late one after- noon as we were setting up camp on a rocky point overlooking an isolated marsh. Our bustie of activity was silenced by an echoing garoo-a-a-a-calI that sudden- ly trumnphete-d downr through the wooded hills. The cali was unfamniliar, with good reasont. In a few seconds, its source appeared, in the form of a pair of large greyish birds, flying slowly in perfect unison. Their-heron- like size and outstretched necks identified the pair as Ontario rarities - sandhill cranes. Even at, a distance, sandhill cranes are distinc- tive, for theïr long necks ex-, tended ini front and long legs behind form the silhouette of a flyin& cross. In the prairie provinces, sandhill crases are a relatively common sight. But the crases which used to breed in southern Ontario were wiped out decades ago, and the scattered sightings of crases in the north leave large gaps in our knowledge of their distribution there. But repeated reports of sandhill crases i some regions, such as northeast of Sault Ste. Marie, leads to speculation that these primitive birds may once again be nesting in the province. Sandhill crases need lots of speace for nesting, with open marshes to provide a steady diet of roots, seeds, and small aquatic animais. They mate for life, with each spring accentuated by a wierd series of noisy displays. Including a bouncing sort of dance with wings half-spread. if a nesting of these ititeresting birds cas be confirmed, they wiil be welcomed by or- nithologists and amateur birdwatchers alike as a fascinating addition to On- tario's bird life.- The Kendal-Kirby Public day afternoon i connection Bruce Lush, principal at School took the top honours with the Orono Fair the school is pictured at the for decorated floats at the childrens' day.

She said it was not a heaith problem and as well she did flot feel it was a school problem. It was pointed out that lice were passed from person to person mainly in the home or a firend's home, flot in the schoolsý. During a two month period in 1981 it cost the Health Unit some $10,000 for examina- tions when nurses sent 400 children home with head lice. In the area of 1200 students took part in the parade.
