Lee Tire Distributor MAIN HIGHWAY Dallas 4-5587 FERNBROOK X THE DALLAS POST, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1957 The whistling swan which was shot on Huntsville Reservoir, is now on exhibit at Back Mountain Me- morial Library, the gift of Howard Risley who obtained permission from the State to have it mounted. Edwin Johnson, president of the Bird Club which meets on second Thursdays in the Library Annex, gave information about swans’ at Thursday night's session. Swans nest, Mr. Johnson said in the far north, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean and the upper reaches of Hudson Bay, building a platform of reeds, and laying half a dozen eggs. The cygnets hatch late in June, and grow rapidly under the influence of constant sunshine. For a period before the cygnets are able to fly, the adults lose their flight feathers, making the entire swan family an easy prey for Indians, who kill them for food and for their skins and feathers.

The Atlantic flights stop off briefly in-Massachu- setts, and winter at North Carolina. They fly so high, following the lonesome ridges, and shunning pop- ulous areas, that they are seldom seen except when sleet forces them down. In taking off, they make a long, splashing run, beating their wings | to get elevation, and striking the water with their wings as well as their feet. Unless the wind is very strong when they head into it, it takes them some time to attain any | altitude. The young are an ash grey, and young adults still show traces of grey in their plumage. When an adult is three years old, he is pure white. The specimen at the Ui- | brary still retains some of the cyg-| net coloring, though nearly white. The distinguishing feature of a whistling swan, according to Mr. Johnson, is the distance from the nostrils to the tip of the bill, shorter than the distance from eye to nos- tril, and the yellow mark on the bill below the eye. In the case of the vanishing trumpeter swan, the nostril is placed closer to the | eye, and there is a characteristic loop in the windpipe. Whistling swans have a deep bass | voice, but the leader of a flight directs his flock in a shrill whistle, an odd woodwind note, not heard at any other time. The tale of a swan singing before it dies, Mr. Johnson added, may not be entirely a myth. Hunters report an eerie sound, a“ peculiar keening noise, as a mortally wounded swan falls to earth. Frank Jackson reported that sev- eral years ago he paw a flock of forty whistling. swans making a clamorous landing on Harveys Lake, and taking off the next day into a high wind.

The Hon- eywells came originally from Pitts- ton, the vanguard of the family taking four days to traverse the (rough country, cutting down trees to clear the way for their horses and wagons. From 1886 to the early 19 hun- dreds, preparations for the annual fair were the hub of social activity around which the community re- | volved.
