The following instruc tions from the Fish and Wildlife Service states exactly what pro cedure is required in reporting bird bands. We particularly wish to en courage sportsmen to report the bands they may find on waterfowl taken this fall. This information is Important in helping biologists learn more about bird migration and movement and other useful facts. 1. Print the full number of the band, including the series designa tion and the serial number. The series designation may be a single letter or a two or three digit num ber. It may be stamped to the left of or over the serial number and may be at right angles to the serial number. A designation such as “48” is not a date and should not be so interpreted. Samples of full num bers and the manner in which they should be written are: A-678901; 48- 345920; 141-543678 ; 20167; and 496- 00517. 2. If the bird is alive, read the number without removing the band and release the bird again. If dead, remove the band, flatten it out, and fasten it to the letter with scotch tape. If it is desired as a souvenir, the band will be returned to the finder after being examined. 3. State the exact date, location (town, county, state) and manner in which the bird was obtained (i.e. shot, trapped, found dead, etc.) 4. Print your name and perma nent address clearly on your letter. Keep a record of the band number and refer to it on all subsequent correspondence. 5. Address letter to: Bird-Banding Office Patuxent Research Refuge U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Laurel, Maryland. 6. Bands may bear the inscrip tion and address \Notify F. and Wildlife Service” or “Notify Bio logical Surveys” Washington, D.C. These are frequently abbreviated to \F & W Serv.” or “Biol. Surv. Wash D.C.” 7. All letters will be acknowledged and this acknowledgment will state the name of the bird, date and place banded, and the name and address of the bander. SU N N Y S ID E by Clark S.

In these lakes, much of the angling is done with wire line, and the Pakron has been found to be the ideal reel for this type of fishing due to its large line capacity and large hub—and, particularly, because of its quick pickup. A A A Subversive Rodents Subversive elements sabotaging the nation’s food supplies and ware house stocks of vital materials are the millions of rats harbored by careless or uninformed farmers and warehouse managers. “The thoughtless scattering of grain, failure to place metal sheath- ,ing and guards on corncribs and store houses, and the piling up of trash under or near buildings are all ‘engraved invitations,’ as far as rats are concerned,” Service officials warned. “Rats are now moving into buildings for the win ter; it is a tragic waste to harbor and feed them.” Rats destroy millions of dollars worth of property each year—not only by eating and spoiling food stuffs, but also by gnawing through protective wrappings on stored mer chandise, and in setting fires by short-circuiting electric wiring. A small sum spent on rat-proofing and rat eradication is good insur ance against possible heavy losses. A A A The female sea-horse deposits its eggs in a small pouch on the body of the male. A A A Waterfowl Traps P r o b a b ly the m o s t spectacular and prom ising trap for' capturing w a terfow l is the “cannon-project ed net trap.” It w a s developed by the national fish and w ildlife serv ice in 1948 and proved very effec tive for catching both g e e s e and ducks.

For all-aiound cleaning and polishing of silverware, a dis carded powder puff is one of the handiest things to keep around. To prevent the glaze on china ware from cracking, don’t pile freshly washed cup.-- on top of each other. Spread them out and give them plenty of time to cool before they’re put away. When the man of the houst breaks the handle off a teacup, don’t throw the cup away. It’s handy for scooping sugar and flour out of sacks and canisters. f i n How True Pro—“Can you tell me any thing about the great chemists of the 17th century?” Con—“They are all dead, sir.” To avoid letting tarnished sil verware pile up until there’s so much you have a big job to do. keep a piece of unbleached flan nel in a jar with a little silver polish near the sink. When you’re washing the dishes and an egg- stained fork or tarnished piece of silver shows up, take a few sec onds to polish it clean right there and then, and you may postpone a bigger job indefinitely. To eliminate the odor from a kitchen knife that’s been used to cut up onions, hold the blade over the flame of a match. Don’t hold it too long, though, and don’t hold it over a gas flame because pro longed intense heat will spoil the temper pf the blade. Egg beaters, like any other gadgets with movable parts, need lubricating. Salad oil will do the trick, but it may corrode the metal in time. Mineral oil is thf best bet because it, like salad oil will not ruin food if it drops in i it; and, unlike salad oil, it’s nog corrosive.
