Bark Side Up When laying 2x4 - inch deck boards„flat, greatest serviceability is obtained if the "bafrk side" of the planks is used as the wearing surface. To determine which is the bark side, look at the growth rings on the ends of the planks and turn them so they make an arc with ends down, curve at the top--like a rainbow. Burning the candle at both ends makes it might hard to keep Wifey in the dark. TMnldn' over some & the things that have been important happenin's in my life, f other day, I wuz reflects how things are accomplished. 0* course, it takes a heap 0* "Git-up-'n git" ter do any job real good, but. wi' out the cooperation o* others, i" give a hand where it is needed, a body wouldn't get very fer. Seems like no one kin take all the credit fer hisself, no matter how hard he has worked tf succeed. We all, as we live, take a little from this one and that one along the path o*life» buildin' us inter the kind o* folks we are today. Like I told my toy, long time ago, there ain't sech a thing as a "self-made man". Everyone who gits to the top has had a big push 'r a lift from someone in his life. Sometimes it is a person's "Ma" or "Pa" or someone who is greatly admired, 'n so, there's alius some influence, other than a body's desire ter git somewheres in this life. From folks who touch our lives, we take somethin' and weave it into our own nature, until the pattern is so composite, we don't know which part is truly our own. Younguns tend to idealize grownups whom they admire, and adopt their ways, so it is important fer us oldsters ter set a good example for the young. Parents, who teach the young folks to love work and the pride in a job well done, are given* them a good start in life. We might make a better showin' in this old world, if we are born wi' a love, fer work, but it takes some larain* from oth- Audubon Field Trip Takes Club To Cuny Property Again, the McHenry county chapter of Illinois Audubon society will be traveling Harvardway. Their field trip Saturday Aug. 10, will take them through the Cuny property on Rte. 14, adjacent to the Birchwood Rest home, approximately half way between Woodstock and Harvard. They will meet at 8:45 a.m. with Mrs. John (Rosemary) Fosse of Woodstock as chairman of the committee in charge. Miss Irene Brewer and Mr. and Mirs. Ray Paige, all of Crystal Lake, will assist her. Club members have been asked if anything should be done for birds at this time of year when food would seem to be readily available. It is answered that providing water is of extreme importance. August is apt to be a dry month, with rain seldom creating puddles for the birds to bathe in or drink. Many creeks and marshy areas have dried up this year, farmers also having added to their plantable acreage by draining ponds birds depended upon. It is necessary that bird baths be kept filled with fresh, clean watereven a big garbage can lid being an acceptable subsitute for a regular pedestaled bowl. It is well to keep on putting some grain or seeds in feeders too, to insure birds continuing to frequent one's yard. Hot, dry months like August stir argument on whether there is bird estivation akin to the hibernation of animals in winter. Audubon Nature Encyclopedia states that "From the time of Aristotle (384-322 BC), if not earlier, men have speculated on bird hibernation." It further explains: "Atorpid condition known as aestivation, seems to have evolved as a means of escape from the recurrent shortage of food brought about by drought and to maintain the tody's moisture." t Edmund J. Jaeger, professor |n Riverside college, Calif., recorded the first scientifically Observed instance of the trait, {studying a poor-will in the Chuckawalla mountains in the winter of 1947-48. He noted that this foird, with body processes slowed down, temperature 30 percent below normal and decreased weight, was profoundly torpid, giving little response to handling. There have also been Unverified accounts of aestivation (or estivation) for the North {American whip-poor-will. Australian frogmouth, and the bird brder containing swifts and pummingbirds. » Among North American'species, some ornithologists believe go into this state of profound lethargy are purple martins, bluebirds, bank, bam and fcliff swallows, turkey vultures, Jvillow ptarmigans, Virginia rails, soras and Carolina parafeets. * But Legends such as of swallows hibernating in mud or Imder water have given bird hibernation lore a bad name, the ;Audubon encyclopedia says, and $nany books discussing natural Science exhautively make no reference whatever to bird estivation , scholars fearing they risk (iheir reputations by seeming to Zgive any credence to the theory. ^Nevertheless, bird estivation is Relieved by scientists of such Tiigh repute that it must be accepted as credible.

We kin be , thankful for havin' work ter do, and I don't know a better kind o» therapy fer frazzled nerves. Too bad we don't heve t* use the old-fashioned way o' scrubbing clothes on a washboard,'r clean rugs wi' a broom, er gittin' down on hands nP knees t" scrub the floors, like*n we us'ter do.
