Jr. * r •! s e s c <: From Around Home by Roy Forrester The nest is empty. The kids packed up their suitcases and took flight into the world of wonders and survival. How many young birds there were is not known but for a period of time there was considerable bird chatter---mainly from the parents I would expect.

There was considerable chatter for a short period of time and no doubt it came from the parent birds giving direction and possibly encouragement encouragement to the youngsters. For the past four days I have not seen a chickadee around home and this differs with the constant flight over the previous two weeks as the young were fed by both parents. parents.

The individual individual is allowed to join the birds in their majestic fllight of migration. It is currently showing at Cumberland 4, 154 Cumberland Cumberland Street, Toronto.

Ed states that the right music is important to a party and the Jazz Cats do set the right mood. It did so happen at a dinner outing at the Senior Citizen Lodge in Orono last fall. There was many positive comments as to the entertainment. entertainment. Of course, it is music that I do enjoy. The two disks do allow one the opportunity to hear what the Jazz Cats have to offer.
