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.
A WELCOME WAGON visit is a special treat to
help you get settled and feeling more ‘‘at home.’’ A
friendly get-together is easy to arrange. Just Call.
My basket holds lots of free gifts to welcome the
newcomer, new baby, or newly engaged girl. Please
call Cherie Dillow 653-1609, or Sue Binkle 653-2368 in
the Mount Joy area; or Hazel Baker 426-3643 in

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

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.”
