SUE JONES, Editor Audubon Notes By FRANCES HAMES President of Monroe County ‘ Audubon Society How many varieties of birds may be found around Key West in Ap- ril? Ifyou should drive -out Tru- man Avenue to the Boulevard and even over to the Sanctuary on Stock Island, without taking a little time to investigate, you might not see more than a dozen different kinds, but it you had gone with three or four of us on a few days in April about vacant lots, around the fresh water ponds and. along the beaches of Key West you would have been fairly close to about 112 species of birds. This would not seem a great number to one who has had the privilege of birding in the Ever- glades National Park or on some of the inland flyways in the spring, but for Key West it is a good list. There were waves of warblers, buntings, vireos and nighthawks, which at times appeared in such concentrations as could be seen only on islands along the migra- tion route, 36 species were migrants, some traveling over end- less stretehes of ocean — as do the nighthawk and bobolink, com- ing from the southernmost tip of South America, while a great ma- ny of our migrating warblers spend the winter in Cuba and the Islands of the West Indies, Roseate spoonbills seem to have taken up residence here for the first time. Five birds have been feeding around the ponds near Ber- tha Street and Atlantic Boulevard since the 17th of April, The “old timers” say these birds were never here before. Reedish egrets, glossy ibis and white-rumped sandpipers were al- 0 among the unusual, as were the 100 or so cedar waxwings seen on May. 14. Great white herons out- number American egrets now and the yellow-crowned night heron ap- Pears to be on the increase. White- crowned pigeons have come back in the usual numbers, also the Cu- ban golden warbler. A representative group from Key West attended the first southeast Audubon Convention in Miamfé in April. We were both informed and inspired by the many speakers re- presenting conservation groups and peblie interests throughout the S01 Our annual dinner was held this year on Aldubon Day, April 26, with Kenneth D. Morrison, Direc- » tor of Public Relations of the Na- tional Audubon Society and Editor of Audubon Magazine, as guest “speaker. Mr. Morrison spoke on several subjects pertaining to the National Society’s activities. We have just presented our first annual Award to Sheila Sweeting, outstanding Nature Student in. the Senior Class of the Key West High School. We regret that Mr. and Mrs. El- lis Finch have moved away from Key, West. They were enthusiastic boosters of thé Audubon Society, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Kirke have joined that movement “Nerth with the Spring,” and Miss Hilda Cunniff is preening for a ‘hop to her summer home in New Hamp- shire, / . We have just discovered that we have an artist in our group Mar- garet Hundley. Being an ardent bird-watcher, she decided to paint them, and her Roseate Spoonbills, Reedish Egrets and some others afe to be hung in the Gallery soon. The Junior Clubs have been very active this past year and deserve more recognition than we have given them. Weekly program of the Poinciana Elementary School, ov- er WKWF, was taken over by their Junior Audubon Club last week: They were given fifteen minutes to tell about what their Club is doing, At the last meeting of the St. Jo. seph’s Club for this school year, to © gigas an active member- ship of . The story, with photo- graphs of the group, was os in a recent issue of The Key West Citizen. d Beat The Heat At The JayShees’ Dip And Dance It’s possible that you won't be- lieve your eyes if you happen. to see a towel being used as a stole this evening — but before you de- cide on new glasses, just remem- ber that the JayShee’s “Dip and Dance” party is tonight. No bet- ter way to keep cool and have fun at the same time! The girls are issuing a “last call” for tickets. A very few are still available at the Cuba Shop on Duval Street and from JayShee members. All indications are for a sellout and the purchase of a brand-new incubator for the nursery at Mon- Toe General Hospital will become a reality. The JayShees have completed ar- Yangements for a wonderful floor show including “clown divers” and the popular Don Albin. The Key Wester - management ‘bas made dressing rooms available the movies.

Your Child Today By DOROTHY Vv. WHIPPLE, M.D. AP Newsfeatures Mrs. Mayberry and 14-year-old Mrs. Ned Simmons Is Honoree At Baby Shower Members and friends of the Wo- men’s Society of Christian Service of the Ley Memorial Methodist Church honored Mrs. Ned A. Sim- mons with a baby shower on Mon- Jane fussed at each other about a/day evening at the Wesley House lot of things, but the worst dis- agreement of ‘all was about Sat- urday mornings. Mrs. Mayberry worked hard all week taking care of her house and four children. Now that Jane was a big girl she felt that four hours of work on Saturday morning was not an unreasonable request. She told Jane exactly what she wanted her to do: clean the refrigerator, scrub the kitchen floor and finish up the ironing. But when Saturday morning came Jane just wouldn’t get out of bed. After periodically awaken- ing her, Mrs, Mayberry stormed into her room at 10:30 a.m., yank- ed the bedclothes from the bed and} gave Jane a good hard spank. Jane screamed back and an unpleasant scene followed. When Jane did get up, she daw- dled through her dressing and ap- peared downstairs at 11:30 to eat a large, leisurely breakfast. At noon no work had been done. Mother was furious and said Jane would have to do the work that afternoon instead of going to Jane sullenly went through the motions, making a poor job of her tasks. The final straw was a big scorched spot in the front of her little brother’s new white shirt. What's the answer? Jane and her mother need a little more understanding of what’s going on inside Jane. Jane at 14 is growing very fast. Adolescents go through a rapid spurt of growth and may put on 10 or 15 or even 20 pounds in a year. That’s a lot of pounds com- pared with the 4 or 5 pounds Jane’s been adding each year all through her childhood. It takes food and sleep to put on pounds. Jane needs more sleep than her 9-year-old sister. But there is another thing hap- pening to Jane too, She is grow- ing up emotionally as well as phy- sically, She wants the privileges that go with growing up—such as on Varella Street. During the evening the group was delightfully entertained with a nice program and games. A humorous skit was presented which featured Miss Catherine Knowles at the piano singing Bra- hms “Lullaby” to her “baby” in its buggy. Mrs. R. Z. Gravel was the cute baby, appropriately dressed for the occasion. Readings were given and games played with prizes going to Mrs. Harry Richardson and Mrs. J. H. Brady. The refreshment table was beau- tifully decorated with blue candles and blue and white flowers. It was covered with a pretty lace cloth. Mrs. Simmons was the recipient of many beautiful and useful gifts. Those attending were Mesdames Ned §. Simmons, J. Hy Brady, Eu- gene Roberts, Sr., Lawrence Hood, Eldon Simmons, Wilbur Franklin, George Peterson, R. Z. Gravel, Charles Allen, R. M. Bramlett, Louis Menendez, Harry Richard- son, Leon Curry, Charles Myers, Hoke Hendricks, Tom Curry, Virgil Brooks, Merrell Sands and Archie Roberts, ' Also present were the Misses Ca- therine Knowes, Barbara Saunders, Miriam E. Carey, Nancy Lee Smith, Kathy Simmons and Flor- ence Hoffman. Mrs. McEwan To Direct Campfire Girls’ Camp Near Washington, D. C. Mrs. Virginia’ McEwan and young son Bruce, will leave Sunday morning for Washington, D. C. to be gone until early Fall. Mrs. McEwan is director of the summer camp for Washington, D. C. Campfire Girls. The camp is located on a lake in Prince Wil- liam Forest, Virginia. As director, Mrs, responsible for. the efficiency of mére than twenty well trained councilors who are students or gra- sitting up later at night than the | duates of various universities, also younger children. Here’s where we run into one of our big conflicts. Jane’s body needs more sleep while her mind needs the privilege of sitting up as rown-ups do. a One ial her mother talk it over they could very likely come to an agreement. “ . Let Jane sit up weekend nights so that she can feel the privileges of her developing maturity. Early bedtime school nights is intelli- gent because it’s no fun to be tir- ed all day at school. Jane will understand that. * : Saturday and Sunday mornings however, are just made for teen- agers to catch up on needed sleep. When Jane stops growing so fast she'll not need so much sleep. These late week-end mornings are only a temporary need. But right now let Jane sleep as late as she wants. When she does get up, she’ll be rested and cheer- ful because her body is working vell. “W's a good chance too, she'll feel more grown up and responsi- ble and will actually offer to help Mom carry the load of family re- sponsibility. but patrons are requested to bring their own towels. Both the JayShees and the hotel management hope that you will come out to the pool tonight and make this “Dip and Dance” party one_of the most successful ‘events the office force and other camp workers. Bruce has been the camp mas- cot for the past three years and declares that this is his last. He is looking for a good boys’ camp where he may enroll next season.

Each year the Scouts are given the use of the Navy pool for swim- ming lessons. The Red Cross fur- nishes qualified instructors and by the end of the summer the girls will have passed the requirements for beginners, intermediates and advanced swimmers. They also work gn the require- ments for their Proficiency badge in swimming. These requirements are roughly equivalant to the Red Cross intermediate certificate. This is the time of year, too, when Girl Scouts are thinking about “cook outs” and “nosebag” hikes. Several troops have planned these events, and we would like |for some of the troops.to write us and tell us about the fun they have. Brownie Troop 9 and Interme- diate Troop 18 will meet at Har- ris School next Thursday after- noon at 3:30 p. m. for a “nose- bag” hike to the County Beach. For the benefit of those who don’t know what a “nose bag” hike is — well, the girls put their lunch in a paper sack and hike to a de- signated spot. They sing along.the way and more then likely get in a little nature study, too. Don’t forget, Scouts, this is your column and all you have to do is wirete a note to “Girl Scouts To- gether” and either bring it to The Citizen Office or mail it to “Girl Scouts Together” care of The Ci- tizen, Greene Street, Key West.
