The president, Allen Latham, was ably as- sisted by Mr. and Mrs. Fitch L. Allen, | and everyone had a genuinely good time. To some it was for the first time, to many it recalled the sugar house in the woods, the gathering of sap and boiling down to just the right consist- ency for wax on the snow. To one t present it recalled the grove of sugar | maples at William Cullen Bryant's jearly home in Cummington, Mas: { where was every arrangement for | making maple sugar by the thousand | pounds. Willlam Latham took tickets at the| door. Those serving the boiling syrup | on blocks of ice were Miss Natalie F.| Allen, Misses Barbara and Emily La- tham and Miss Gladys Beebe. New Bird Arrivals.

It is one of the few cone-bearing trees which drop their leaves in winter. The heartwood of cypress is noted for its decay-resist- ant properties.
