Page 4—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES New Address? ; WELCOME WAGON® CAN HELP YOU FEEL AT HOME. The feathered friends on your holiday gift list would like nothing more than to find their favorite foods in your backyard this winter. The secret of attracting wild birds to your feeding stations is to provide the foods they like best and to put them in the right places, says Ranger Rick’s Nature Magazine. Just as some birds would rather eat suet than nuts, many birds prefer to eat on the ground rather than from hanging feeders. The National Wildlife Federation’s monthly pub- lication for children offers these guidelines for provid- ing a variety of wintering birds with right foods in the right places: Greeting new neighbors is a tradition with Welcome Wagon—*‘‘America’s Neighborhood tradition. I’ld like to visit you. To say ‘‘Hi’’ and present gifts and greetings from community-minded businesses. I’ll also present invitations you can redeem for more gifts. And it’s all free.

Thank-you firemen! Letter to the Editor, - During this holiday season, we sometimes for- get, yet always take for granted those brave and faithful firemen, saying it can never happen to us. Well it does and did to us, on Thanksgiving Day. While we were enjoying a beautiful day with our family in New Jersey, the firemen of Marietta, Maytown and the Shawnee of Columbia an- swered a fire call and left their holiday festivities to fight the flames at 328 East Market Street, Marietta. Their fast response to the fire alarm saved our house, containing the fire to the attic and second floor. Although there was ex- tensive water damage, they did keep the first floor from fire damage. Our family would like to express our thanks and appreciation to these brave men who came to our aid and extinguished the fire and saved the lives and furnishings of our tenants. Many thanks for a job well done and a Blessed and Happy Holiday Season to all the firemen of our great country. » Sincerely, Bob & Vivian Carroll 72 Fairview Avenue % Marietta, PA Favorite foods in the right places are perfect gifts for winged wildlife Feeders can be wire mesh holds, plastic mesh bags (used for onions, oranges, etc.) or log holders. Don’t be discouraged if the birds don’t come flocking into your yard the first day you put out food. Sometimes it takes a while for the birds in your area to discover your feeders. Once they've found them, they’ll keep coming back so long as there is food for them. Feeders should be kept clean and checked every day. Don’t put out large amounts of food that could spoil or attract rats or mice. And remember that besides food and water, birds need cover. Most birds seem to feel more comfortable eat- ing at feeders near trees or bushes where they can perch and hide from hawks or neighborhood cats. It’s always nice to wake up on a frosty winter morning and see a perky chickadee feeding in your backyard. And it’s a perfect way to wish wildlife a ‘““Happy Holiday.” ply wad 0 te dt =~ 20% OFF | | EVERYTHING ¥ IN OUR STORE } fot a ust SL. Cay 3 December 17, 1980 beauty.
