Television Set Good Place for tlest Milwaukee CJ.R) A tele vision set can be entertaining, informative, decorative and it can even provide a nice place for a bird nest. . Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lentz' five-year-old son, Danny, found a baby sparrow that had fallen from its nest. He took it home, and ell took turns feeding it with an eye dropper and tweezers. ' After a few days of this treat ment, the sparrow felt right at home, began enjoying its diet of warm milk and warm ground meat, and grew accustomed to its life in a cigar box stuffed with flannel matting. , The most convenient place for the bird's unorthodox nest was atop the television set. A lighted lamp was placed above the box to keep the bird warm. The Army will spend about $4,000,000 on the new Federal Employees Group' Life Insur ance program in fiscal 1959.
