i Jaycettes Give Truck to Library The Central Point Jaycettes community libraries have have presented the Central Point branch o the Jackson County library with a hand truck to be used in the shelv ing of books, Mrs. Avis Van Hoy, Central Point librarian, has announced. This is the most recent of several donations made to the Central Point library by this organization. A low table and a set of brightly painted small chairs to create a children's corner in the library were furnished by the Jaycettes re cently. Jackson county organiza tions seeking activity projects are invited to consult their community librarians for sug gestions, according to library director, Miss Helen Webster. While, in accordance with the usual practice in county library systems, the head quarters library furnishes books, office supplies, salar ies, and such services as cata loging, book repair, and gen eral professional supervision for all it community agencies, e?ch community carries the responsibility for providing, furnishing, and maintaining the local library's quarters, she said. Many of Jackson county's need of additional equipment such as floor covering, office desks, magazine racks, and ta bles and chairs for readers; and some of them would wel come volunteers for building shelving or improving the decoration, it was pointed out.- The local librarian should be consulted in each case for the particular needs of any branch.

Today we drove home from Portland. Weather conditions were just the opposite of what they were on the way up. We left Portland in a gentle rain and arrived at Medford in the sunshine which was only partly obscured by smoke in the. valley. A neighbor boy had very kindly fed my birds while I was gone and there were many around the place.

Mail Tribune office 33 North Fir. Monday. Dec. 1. The main objective of our morning birding trip was to begin checking some of the territory in which we will probably be making our Christmas count. If possible, we want to find winter feeding territories of certain birds so that we can locate them more easily on the day of the count. Our first effort was negative. We looked in a barn near Eaele Point where we had seen a barn owl in the spring. The owner said one had been there but we did not find it today. I hope we can locate some in the next couple of weeks. We did the best on shore birds today. We found' long billed dowitchers (like snipe with a big white spot above the tail) on a pond near town and a spotted sandtriper was again along Little Butte Creek. These birds must be wintering here, and perhaps also a couple of western sandpipers which we saw at a pond on Gregory Road. We saw a particularly large flock of golden-crowned kinglets in the woods along Little Butte Creek. . Another thing we noticed was the large number of mourning doves, some of them travelling in good sized flocks. I am very sure that there is no harm in having an open season on these prolific birds. We also saw a number of cock pheasants. J. H. thought they seemed to be gloating over their successful survival of the hunting season. They make ideal game birds. I wish people would stop wanting to be senti mental about protecting all birds and get more worried about protecting the hawks and owls, some of which are getting alarmingly scarce. ; In the afternoon I had a call to make in Ashland. On the way back I took the less travelled roads and looked for a robin roost. I found that they are using the same spot as last year along Bear Creek north of Phoenix. Tuesday, Dec. 2. Even though the weather was the warmest ever for this date I decided to increase my bird feeding so that they would know where to look when they have need. I started throwing out some extra bird seed from the study window early in the morning. I also started putting some peanut butter on some branches of the oak tree. I was surprised to see that white crowned sparrows and juncos found it right away. I guess they remembered it from last year. Peanut butter is a favorite food of many birds. Wednesday. Dec. 3. i Ralph Browning called to say that he had also located the robin roost north of Phoenix. However, he went right to it and studied it more than I did. He says the starlings are using it too. He thinks there are about the same number of robins as last year, but more starlings. He lives in Phoenix now, so he will have an opportunity to watch the roost. I hope we will be able to arrive at some fairly accurate estimate of numbers. It must be very large.. Thursday, Dec. 4. . I had a phone call from a man in the Wagner Creek area asking about large flocks of birds feeding in the pastures. From the description I judged that they were starlings. In the afternoon I was driving down the Coleman Creek road toward Phoenix and I observed some of these large flocks of starlings myself. They were feeding in xne pear orchards. There certainly are plenty of them. I suppose this will be the pattern. The starlings will keep on increasing each year, migrating in from further east each fall, and soon beginning to nest here too. Sneaking of numbers, my caller irom wagner ureeK saia he had lived in this valley all his life and he believed that there are many more birds here now than there were when he was a boy. This confirms my own conjecture. I know that the bird population is denser in the settled parts oi tne vaney than in the brushy hillsides around it. irrigation and agricul ture make it possible for these areas to support more birds.
