HI Man Took Away Acton Which Nature Provided Her horizons are limited to the immediate neighborhood just what she can see from her window. She and her wheel chair are inseparable. To her that window is the show place of the world. Her plans for to morrow and all the tomorrows after that are only continu; tions of today. What she will see tomorrow are just the little in cidents that will take place wilhin the limited range of her vision. Directly in front of her window and but a few yards away, is a small, square platform on a short post, a feeding station for the wild birds that visit her gar den. Every morning a kind- hearted neighbor fills the tray with bird-feed. The birds that used to come were the actors on the lady's stage. The curtain of her drama rises each day when the dawn comes, closes each day with the setting sun. With the darkness the curtain is down, and she must wait for another dawn. Through a long association she had become familiar with most of the birds that come. Many of them had been friends of long standing; she knew them well, and had a name for many of them. They were her friends, feathered bits of animated life, adding charm, action, song and color to the garden. To her, each and every one of them, jays, sparrows, cardinals, flick ers, blackbirds and all the oth ers, were interesting and beauti ful. Diminishing Birds She feit justified too, in be lieving she was contributing to the welfare of bird life, both to the song and the game birds, for many quails and doves fed at her table. The ever constant food supply naturally increased the bird population. In her hours of quiet meditation she figured out the formula. Nature must have planned that the preva lence of wildlife depends mainly on protective cover and ample supplies of food. While the birds were feeding they were never disturbed, for her garden was completely fenced. During the late summer this shut-in lady began to notice a change. Almost daily she noticed a diminishing number of birds. ' The flocks that had been coming were shrinking; the ranks were thinning. She had the food changed, thinking perhaps the birds were tired of the same diet day after day. But the bird population continued to decline, and at an alarming rate. Gradual But Steady The change at first was grad ual, but steady. By the end of 60 days the grain on Ihe feeding platform lay uneaten and un touched. The lady, concerned now, watched and waited but the feathered visitors did not come. The lady has a great deal of time to think, and although she admits she knows a little of conservation methods and pur poses; she has nevertheless come to a startling conclusion. Whiihe thought, has later been substantiated somewhat by friends who have told her of countless dead birds, both song and game birds, that have been found, killed without doubt by various poisons used in insect control. The lady, whose sole enjoy ment was derived from watch ing the bird life In a secluded garden, asks an important ques tion: "Why," she asks, "is it necessary to destroy something beautiful to gain a profit, or sat isfy a whim?" My dear shut-in friend, anoth er summer will come and na ture will again exert every ef fort lo repopulate the decimated ranks of bird life, and many will again return to your garden. I'm sure, that in Nature's plan, feathered songsters must again gladden and enliven your gar den. Man's bungling and stupid ity can only upset the plan for a little while, for nature always wins in Ihe end. DOWN THE HATCH NEW YORK (UP1) Ameri cans are drinking more and more bourbon whiskev.
