Winnetka Youths to Take 2500-Mile Trip by Canoe in Canada Arthur Fisher, 1060 Sheridan road and Roland Williams, son of Dr. and Mrs. Aubrey Williams, 163 Bertling lane, Winnetka, will spend the sum- mer on a 2,500 mile canoe trip through Canada, headed for Hudson bay. Williams graduated from New Trier high school this June, leaving before the graduation exercises in order to take the trip. Mr. Fisher and Mr. Williams will leave from Prince Al- bert, Canada, pick up their equipment, and start the trip as soon as possible. The 2,500 miles they plan to cover has not been entirely mapped, and the government will use data they record to perfect records. While attending New Trier, Wil- liams interested himself in bird band- ing, which consists of catching birds, slipping a light band around one foot and letting them go. Records are sent to the government of the time, plum- age, etc, and later when the bird is found in another part of the country, further data is added to the record. By this method of bird banding the habits of birds are discovered, and their yearly migrations recorded. Williams will return to Winnetka on completing the trip and attend Worcester eollege next year.
