Notwithstanding the fact that there has heen a very generous response to the urgent ecall sent out by the Red Cross knitting branch for enough knitted sets te equip the drafted men who are leaving this week and next for the military camvs. it was found on Thursday that there is still a_ery- ing need for more helmets, wusue(q and ruffiers. Thirty-six men were fitted out at the rooms yesterday. Eighteen more will require knitted sets by next Wed- nesday: to make these fully complete there cre still needed 10 helmets, 20 pairs of wristlets, and a number of mufflers. Tt is hoped that there will be an im- mediate response to this last hurry cal. and that those women who are making helmets. sea wristlets will manage to finish and bring them to the Service rooms on Monday, or by Tuesday at the very latest. The very least that we can do for these men wro are going to take their part in the war is te send them fl\' with the proper equipinent of knitted articles as a token of our guod will and appreciation.

The winter birds are still coming to their feeding places. the blue jay es- pecially often. This handsome bird found a friend in Emerson. He said in its defense “It does more good than harm.” One writer states that the blue jay has the habit of burying nuts and hard seeds in the ground so that many a waste fflace is clothed with trees and shrubs. The word from Bear Hill is “of purple finches musical all day long, the fox sparrow, field sparrow and cow bird are there, phoebes are nest- ing.” - The field sparrow has also been heard on Huntingten lane and thc purple grackle. The field sparro ong which begins with three musi whistles and ends with sweet thrills is somewhat like the rich melody of the vesper sparrow. It is a hird of the pastures and uplands and it sings from early morning till after sunset. FUNERAL Miss Emily Hall Wilcox.
