Tricky Weather
Makes It Tough
For Game Birds
WASHINGTON (VP) Unusual
woather last winter and the drought
conditions of recent weeks have
brought new dangers to the nation's
waterfowl flocks, and biological sur
vey officials are acting to save as
many aa possible.
The birds have been decimated In
recent years b:' the drying up of
many of the lakes and swamp, wnlch
are their normal. breeding places, and
by overshooting. Now tho weather
has launched another attack.
Last winter's weather caprices led
to unusual behavior by the birds
which gave many hunters the er
roneous impression that they were
morp plentiful tlian was actually the
case.'
Early storms In tlie north caused
tho flocks to bunch up and migrate
south two or three weeks ahead of
time. Dry lakes, marshes and pools
over a wide area caused largo num
hers of birds to concentrate on the
few favorable feeding grounds re
mnlnlng, giving tho Impression of In
crooned numbers.
Mlkl winter weather l:i the west
caused birds to stop north of their
usuoj wintering areas, ngtim leading
to me raise impression uroi wuici
f owl' 1 were Increasing. At tho some
tlmej tho sevore winter in tho east
arove uiras mruier suuui unui unum,
leadUig to unwarranted optimism
among southern hunters.
Black ducks, mallards, plntnlls,
widgeons not pigeons) and green
wlugcd teal were found In fair num
bers this season, end canvasboclcs
nboiU hold their-own, compared with
the lust two years. However, there
was i, sovero shortage of red-heads,
lessor scaups, shovclers, 'blue-winded
teolA and other small blrdu, ,
Greater scaups? stowed some J In
crease In Great South Bay, Long Is
lond ond along tho Connecticut
coast. Canada geeso and blue geosc
maintained their numbers and show
ed some Increase in local areas here
and fthoro, but the brant along the
Atlantic coast were greatly reduced
In numbers due to tho disappearance
of eelgrass, their favorite food.

With leafy branches growing wide
That did not feel within his heart
A sense of joyous honest pride,
Thot on this earth where that tree Is
He, too. may olso moke his home.
May dream his dreams ond make his peace
And lost may sleep and need not roam?
Or, who has looked upon a star
Thot beams upon this lovely earth
And has not felt a sense of pride
And marveled at its splendid worth?
Or. who has felt the breezes blow.
The lovely drops or summer rain.

And has not felt a sense of gain?
Or. who has seen the breath of death
Come stealing o'er a brother's brow
And has not felt down In his heart
That there's a God somewhere, somehow?
Who could have seen these wonderous things
Without a sense of honest Joy?
Who could not feel his brothership
So close so close without alloy?
