Aug days are practi- cally lall planned. The "children . always get their story which is also enjoyed by the adults. On Sunday Rev. Linstead had chosed one about a lady missionary in Africa who was taken by tribe members to their sick chief because he wanted to hear more about Jesus whom he had heard about from a boy raised in a mission school. The sermon was based on Psalm 121, about hills, where people felt God could be found. Many, Bible references were about hills ang mountains. Indeed - we can see more of the work of God from a hill or moun- tain.

Peregrine falcons, '"Na- ture's ultimate flying mach- ine" and the once-proud pos- sessions of royal falconers in medieval Europe, are vir- tually extinct in eastern North America due to past use of DDT insecticides. The last known peregrine nesting in Algonquin was in 1962. Four peregrines 'were released last summer during the first year of the five-year reintroduction program. Of that first group, one was killed by a goshawk towards _ the end of the summer. Another disappeared after being releases and was not seen again. The remaining two birds migrated from the area and have not been seen near the cliff site this year. - However, they could be in the park, according to biolo- D. Lois Milne BA. 0.D.

"We are not advertising the location of the nesting areas in the park because we want to give the birds every chance possible to mature and adapt to their new en- vironments without being disturbed," said Mr. Miller. From Smoke Lake, the month-old birds were tran- sported to an interior site and put in a nesting box attached to the edge of a cliff face formerly used by wild peregrines. Gerald McKeating, the biologist responsible for Natural Resources threaten- ed species program, said the reintroduction project and technique of using a nesting box to minimize human con- tact with the birds is design- ed to persuade the falcons to consider the cliff face '"home", and eventually breed there. He said the peregrine is a special bird to most wildlife enthusiasts - but not just because it has become vir- tually extinct east of the Rocky Mountains and south of the tree line. '""The peregrine is the ulti- mate flying machine in Nature," he said. "Although it only weighs about two pounds and is slightly bigger than a raven, the peregrine has awesome powers of flight. ~~ .
