COMMUNITY LOSS The death of Marion Leske Dec. 13, has saddened many people in our area. Having lived here for the past 32 years, her caring has touched almost every one of us. The picture of Marion's slight figure, tramping the streets of Lilymoor visiting in every home during her year with the Lilymoor association, is very vivid. The work she and Connie Johnson did in revitalizing the McHenry Nunda library when it seemed the library might close in 1970, has had a lasting effect on every library user in the district. Marion was always ar­ tistic, with sewing, knitting, ceramics, and finally, the reproduction of antique dolls. Don was an en­ thusiastic supporter in her endeavors, learning with Marion the intricasies of doll making, and spending many hours together with a hobby that became a business enterprise Sympathy is extended to Don, who also lost his mother this year, and on whose shoulders the burden of worry, care and pain have weighed ; to son Gary and his wife Phyllis and their two sons; to sister Anna Mary who has lived with the Leske's these past 25 years; and to Marion's mother, Mrs. Ann Erisman, who has also been staying with them. WIVS GUEST Louise Hipwell, president of the Board of Trustees of the McHenry Nunda library, spent an hour with host Mai Bellairs on radio station WIVS, Crystal Lake, on Friday, Dec. 12. Their subject was censorship in the library, as stated in a bill proposed by legislator Jeremiah Joyce. Louise spoke of the library's position of suggesting alternatives to children wishing to take out adult books of questionable morality. It is still the parents responsibility to check on the type of books their children read, and their decision is the final one. Louise had requested and received information from the State Library, the Illinois Library association, the Northern Illinois Library system and the Library Board attorney on the subject of censorship. She was well informed and able to answer the questions posed by Bellairs and several callers. She handled the unaccustomed role of being a guest on a radio talk show creditably and with poise. CELEBRATIONS Denise Brizzi always finds Christmas of double importance as her birthday is Dec. 24. This year Denise will start her twelfth - her last year as a pre-teen. Ted Dawdy also has his birthday on the twenty-fourth. Christmas day finds Maynard Johnson of Lakemoor starting his 64th year. Takes a large cake to hold all those candles. Art Lund celebrates the same day. Dec. 27 is shared by Charles Thornton and Ralph Freeman. It will be anniversary time for Charles and Nancy Hueckstaedt starting their fourteenth year as Mr. and Mrs. on Dec. 28. Hope the next 14 will show a decrease in the number of hospital stays for all the family. Join in prayer in a House of the Lord in honor of His coming this Christmas time.

The feathered friends on your holidy gift list would like nothing more than to find their favorite foods in your backyard this winter. The secret of attracting wild birds to your feeding stations is to provide the foods they like best and to put them in the right places. Just as some birds would rather eat suet than nuts, many birds prefer to eat on the ground rather than from hanging feeders. The National Wildlife federation's monthly publication for children offers these guidelines for providing a variety of wintering birds with the right foods in the right places: ...Ground Feeders include blue jays, sparrows, juncos, quail, mourning doves, pheasants, chickadees, and house finches. Their favorite foods are sunflower seeds, cracked corn (inexpensive, but will also attract starlings, grackles, and pigeons), wild bird seed mix, and peanuts. Feeders can be split fireplace logs (flatside up), hubcaps (for food or water), garbage can lids, trays, shallow pans, or birdbath tops (for water). ~ ...Tabletop or Window Feeders include cardinals, goldfinches^rort^ (RLSILLSTOIICS 1219N.GREEN ST.

Their favorite foods are sunflower seeds, shelled peanuts, wild bird seed mix, raisins, and currants. Feeders can be trays placed on picnic tables, benches, or stumps or at­ tached to windowsffls. ...Hanging or High Post Feeders include cardinals, chickadees, goldfinches or other finches, pine siskins, redpolls, titmice, and nuthatches. Their favorite foods are niger or thistle seeds, sun­ flower seeds, wild bird seed mix, and peanut hearts or other nutmeats. Feeders can be plastic tube feeders, round or square post feeders (some shaped like little houses), or recycled milk cartons, detergent, or bleach bottles, which have been cut open for easy access. ...Trunk Feeders include chickadees, woodpeckers, nuthatches, and many seedeating birds. Their favorite foods are suet or suet cakes, which can be mixed with peanut butter, seeds, and other treats. Feeders can be wire mesh holders, plastic mesh bags (used for onions, oranges, etc.) or log holders. Don't be discouraged if the birds don't come flocking into your yard the first day you put out food. Sometimes it takes a while for the birds in your area to discover your feeders. Once theye found them, they'll keep craning back so long as there is food for them. Feeders should be kept clean and checked every day. Don't put out large amounts of food that could soil or attract rats or mice. And remember that besides food and water, birds need cover. Most birds seem to feel more comfortable eating at feeders near trees or bushes where they can perch and hide from hawks or neighborhood cats. It's always nice to wake up on a frosty winter morning and see a perky Chickadee feeding in your backyard. And it's a perfect way to wish wildlife a "Happy Holiday". Johnsburg Mary L.
