antique “cup plates” that I have.
These pressed pattern flint glass,
known as “Sandwich glass,” were
used to set teacups on as people
drank their tea from the saucer.
What I didn’t expect was the big
box of herbs that she gave me. So,
despite the fact that I was doing a
lot of extra cleaning, as I expected
guests for several meals, I dug a
plot and planted them. It was
necessary to remove some tansy
and lemon balm to make room for
the tarragon, chives, anise, sage
and basil. As we had an inch of rain
soon afterwards, I believe they will
all survive the transplanting.
Then came the day when I did an
unusual thing. I do not turn off

and I was to sit at the polls all day
and “work.” As I skipped

minutes late but I can’t say that I
“worked.” The turnout was very

Sparrows Face Extinction

the Bee Line a veritable “ghost
road’’ for 10 years. Out-of-control
forest fires, started by nearby
ranchers who wished to clear their
lands for grazing, swept over the
dusky’s areas many times. By
spring 1979, there were 13 males
left on the St. Johns marsh, none at
all on Merritt Island.
Fish and Wildlife then ordered
the capture of all dusky seaside
sparrows. No females were found.
Five males were brought to Santa
Fe Community College Teaching
Zoo in Gainesville. There scientists
and officials continued their
fighting, this time over the
philosophical right to
“crossbreed” the birds. The
argument prevented the ex
periment for two crucial mating
seasons.
“I know it is impossible to save
everything. But why commit
aggravated assault on nature?”
asks Jim Ellis, who directs the
nation’s only collegiate teaching
zoo. “People come in and say,

However, a phone call informed us
that he had a badly broken ankle
and could not be on his feet for two
months. Now we have the problem
of finding other help.
I suppose that we better not
count on using the boat very often
that Allen bought this winter. But,
we still hope that we will at least
have a chance to try a bit of fishing
now and then.

fortunately, most people don’t see
the future.
“What are we going to do about
the St. Johns River? The dusky is
at the headwaters there. The dusky
is gone. You have fish kills out
there. The nanatee is in trouble.
How many species does it take
before you realize that the whole
river may be in trouble?”
Fish and Wildlife finally agreed
to permit crossbreeding if
taxpayers were spared the con
siderable cost. Nudged by Florida
Audubon, Disney officials agreed
to take on the $lOO,OOO annual cost
of maintaining the breeding the
final diskies.
It was all done secretly, without
public announcement. But proper
message is there, says Cook:
“It’s like a tree that falls in the
woods. If no one hears it, who
knows it fell? The dusky will fall in
the woods and it will be passing
news. That’s not right. We want
people to see and hear about this.
Extinction is forever. And here we
