Last week we jotted down a few notes on wild life and before we knew it had a column. The re- , sponse from many of our sub- scribers who read it prompts us to continue. preciate any readers may this vicinity. GETS HAWK Game Protector Clarence Moss of Wyoming county is responsible for the following: William Brown, a fifteen year old boy of Falls Township, saw a hawk kill a Ruffed Grouse. Not having a rifle he set three steel traps, pegged the Grouse carcess to the ground and in an hour had the hawk. It was a Cooper's. We will deeply ap-_ observations which have of wild life in - EXPENSIVE SPORT © Those who have ‘a desire to shoot protected game birds would do well to study the experience of: Joseph Val- of Pittston who was recently ar- rested by Game Protector C. P. Moss of Tunkhannock for shooting a Reeves Pheasant. Valenti was fined $52. Be- ing unable to pay the fine, Valenti was commited to Wyoming county jail for fifty-two days. " BOB WHITE In recent years there have been no- ticeable ‘increases in the number of Bob White or Quail in this vicinity. Thse birds wintered well last season and almost any afternoon their cheer- ful whistling can be heard by resi- dents of the upper end of Lake street. At least one flock hag its headquart- ers along Centre Hill road in the vic- inity of Warden Cemetery. Often the birds scamper along the dust of the road there making a pretty sight as they take to their wings in timid flight. In Susquehanna county this year petitions are being signed to have the Bob White protected from hunt- ing for a three year period. STARLINGS And speaking of birds, have you no- ticed the flocks of Starlings as they fly across the early evening sky com- ing from the vicinity of College Mis- ericordia to roost in trees near Hunts- ville reservoir. As high as ten flocks follow this route early every summer evening. There are possibly a hun- dred or two hundred birds in each flock, The Starling is a relative new comer to America but it apparently does well here and has made many enemies as well as friends. RATTLESNAKES ON INCREASE f According to the records of the Pennsylvania State Game commission, rattlesnakes are on the increase in the State. More ‘rattlesnakes have been reported killed by Game Com- mission officials and local residents so far this summer than in a number of years. In large measure this, how- ever, may be due to the dry weather which has forced many of the snakes out of their natural mountainous habitat and down into the more set- tled lowlands where. they can get wat-. er, PORCUPINES ‘E. E. Hove, northeastern Pennsyl- vania, representative of the Valentine Paint company, has his summer home on a mountainside just below Lute’s Corners in Wyoming county. He has recently been doing considerable re- pairing to the buildings, shingle sid- ing the house. The porcupines in that section either don’t like or like the idea. At any rate every morning, Mr. Hove says, finds a spot in the shingle siding where the porcupines have feasted during the night. But shingles aren't the only things that porcupines like to eat. A friend of ours recent- ly reports seeing a grouse making darts at something on the ground near the end of a log. Upon examination he found a porcupine eating the grouse eggs from a nest under the log. PLENTY OF RABBITS An early evening automobile ride from Dallas out past Clifford Spaces farm and’ then to the right up the hill to the old Whipp farm will con- vince even the most skeptical that wild life abounds near the shores of Huntsville’ reservoir. A few evenings ago we counted five rabbits sitting in the road in a space of not more than twenty yards. ALBINO DEER ~ Few woodsmen or sportsmen in this region excel Oscar Terry of Evans’ Falls in the number and variety of kills made. One of his most interest- ing trophies is the albino deer which is mounted and stands in the window of the store at Viola Park, Evans’ Falls. Most Indian tribes used to have in- teresting superstitions about albino, or “white,” deer, and even yet most hun- ters are proud if they happen to kill one. But however interesting because they are in reality just ‘‘freaks,” in the very worst sense of the word, and a threat to the herd. White deer, white mink, white robins, white crows, “white blackbirds,” — with each an® all of them Nature has simply “slipped a cog” and they are not healthy in the full sense of the term. - Unfortunately, albino deer are rath- er frequently reported in the Pennsyl- vania herd, and as a consequence we repeatedly hear of a spotted deer, or “pinto,” as they would be called in ® | adi We can resole your shoes and do a perfect job by leaving no repaired appearance . . . priced modestly . . . ask about it.

Lunch was served to: Mr. and Mrs. the southwest. The increase, if they are, as 'seems, increasing, is due to something abnormal in the conditions under which our deer live and repro- duce at present. However much their novelty may appeal to the layman, no biologist would grieve if every ‘‘white” deer in the state fell to a hunter's gun the next hunting season — under proper legal restrictions, of course. ted cow may be all right; but a “paint pony” is an abomination to the eye, and in the west is always supposed to be “meaner than Satan, his sire.” And imagine a herd of “pinto” deer! a] HOME HEATING WEEK Will be held August 14 to 19 this year, featuring all that’s new in heating and air conditioning equipment, in charge of factory representatives. fee cold lem- onade will be served by the Gay Murray organization.

Saves Brother rod, a bass weighing half a pound is to rival fishing with the tiny feather- ed lures for trout in Pennsylvania's waters, Oliver M. Deibler, fish com- missioner, said today. Anglers in many sections of the State are finding in fly casting for gamy black bass a sport of thrills. “Taken on a light fly cinnati.’ capable of furnishing action in abun- dance for the fisherman. Use of the feathered lures, equip- ped with small spinners, is of definite advantage, not only to the angler but to the bass. Undersize bass, when taker, are rarely hooked deeply enough to be severely injured. From the ang- ler’s angle, the difficulty attendant to keeping live bait and carrying a min now bucket while fishing is removed. George T.
