IVacation Bible School at Orono Church The Orono United Church held a most successful five- day Vacation Bible School last week at the churcli. Enrolîment in the event numbered a total of 80 children li ages from 4 to 12 years. The attendance held firm throughout the entire program. The school's program lneluded inside and outside The saga of the Winter Wren continues. It's back .. more than likely neyer left. I have just not been getting up early enough for this early riser. We shall leave it in peace for the time being. I can report, however, the receipt of newspaper clipping submitted by David Watkins, Orono. and it has to do with a Jenny Wren. This particular Wren, a haîf ounce in weight and some four inches in length, travelled a distance of 1000ý miles. it was banded in a, ringing station in Russia in Septemnber and tumned up in West Sussex, England, the following March. No doubt a strong strong tail-wind on this trip. In conversation with one of our relatives from Milton at the recent Forrester picnic he noted of a large numnber of Rosebreasted Grosbeaks and Indigo' Buntîngs in migration this past spring. This was certainly the trend in southem Ontario for these twospecies last spring. You may remember -we bad a lot of local sightings of these two birds. It was also the case, as reported, in Prince Edward County. Everyone who puts out bird feeders has something to tell about squirrels, and their ingenuity. games along with crafts, a music program and Bible stories. on the final day of the program chlldren brought items of food for the Clarington East Food Bank as their part of a community service. The children also expressed their appreciation to the Donut Gallery and I have a little story about their little cousins, the Chipmunks. It happened at Jim's and Nancy's, son-mn- law and daughter, down at Lake On The Mountain. Jim had purchased a big bag of Black Sunflower seed and placed it ini the kzitchen some twenty feet from the nearest window. The window which is well screened was left open during the night. Coming down in the morning the couple found four chipmunks in the kitchen having chewed a hole in the Sunflower seed bag. The chipmunks had chewed a hole through the wire screen for their entrance and had made off with some of their boot. 1The feed was then placed in large plastic pails but left on the back porch. During the next night the 'munks' chewed a hole through one, of the plastic pails and no doubt bolstered their larder for the winter months. Now we don't think that chiùpmunks can read so how did they know that the bag in the kitchen contained sunflower seeds and the plastic soap pails on the deck, the next day, were filled with the sarne goodies. Chipmunks must -have a N ew -exhibits at the Bowmanvillle Museum Fred's Fruit Market, both located Highway 115 south, for their contribution to the snack bar. The bar was well patronized.

She commends the leaders and helpers for the part they played in this success. great s ense of smell and likely is a requirement for such a little animal to search out food for its survival in this bigbig world. Another wonder of nature. Another mystery pertaining to the chipmunk for whîch I have neyer found an answer pertains to the hole it burrows to its den. Neyer do you ftnd any dirt around the entrance. Ants have anthilîs and worms deposit some dirt at their entrance. What does the chiÉpmunk do with the dirt it excavates. Flil take a phone cail if you have an answer on this one.
