MOU MOTS I JACK MINER'S APPEAL FOR HELP FOR BIRDS mm.m W (Harry Hampton In Columbia st.ite) The follow I nil letter from Jack Miner, pioneer, conservationist of Kingsvllle, Ontario, Canada, Bpeaks for itself, and eloquently: My dear Friend*: , Though I am now 75 years of age, never before In my life havejjaced such a financial orleta. as Hea ahead 'of roe during the next few weeks. Canada Is at war. 1 am not able to cpguge a high-pressure salesman to go through the country selling my claims on the public nor can I cm-, ploy a professional publicity man to drum up my story. 1 have got to de! 1K?i(i on my own simple appeul. made [in this simple way. to try to raise $15,000 between now and January 1 for the maintenance of my community park, bird sanctuary, and bird-banding activities. It will be only by the kind co-operation of my friends who on receiving thiB will help me raise the needed amount that this can be done. 1 am sorry to have to announce that the Dominion federal government has reduced my grant of $4,000 to $2,600? a reduction of $1,500. Is there not Home one person who. on reclept of this letter, will mall me a cheque for $1,500 to overcome this government reduction? 1 pruy that there will he. My work In conservation, in education and in scientific research through banding birds to learn their exact migration routes needs no introduction, and I feel confident that every one who receives this appeal in its Interests will, if he is not able to send me a contribution at this time, approach his club members or . some philanthropic trust on my behalf in this war-time crisis. To any person sending me a contribution at this time of $1 or more toward the annual maintenance of this place, so that I may bo enabled t ocarry it on I will tenance of this place, so that I will write a personal letter of thanks, and not only thaS but I will also send him one of my bands such as I put on a goose's leg, to be carried as a pocket piece if the recipient would like. This band vylll be stamped "Souvenir" so that it will never in any way become confused with any of my acual records. No contribution is too small to be accepted and appreciated. Some of the biggest concerns on this continent have oeen built up by nickels I and dimes. 1 do appreciate such | small contrlbutons in the same spirit as "the widow's mite." Yet let me say to those who are able to give and have never visited here, that in the past one young man from New York City, after visiting the place and seeing for himself the work being carried on, sent me a cheque for $1,000. In another instance, a Christian lady made a special trip here from New York City, and she was so well satisfied with my activities-that she gave me a cheque for $500 immediately, and since that time has continued to contribute liberally. Several other people, from other cities, after visiting here have become regular voluntary supporters of the work being done and have contributed hundreds of dollars annually. 1 Just mention this so that recipients of this letter may know what others think after visiting my sanctuary and seeing for themselves what is being accomplished here. 1 will gladly furnish the names of these contributors to any person in New York who is sufficiently interested to interview them am learn at first hand what they saw at Jack Miner's. Although Canada is at war I know my Canadian supporters will not let mo down. But I want to make a special appeal to my friends in the United States. This sanctuary has been saving a nest-egg supply of game birds ever since 1904, and my handing records prove bow every state east of the Mississippi has benefitted from its conservation work. You now have an opportunity to show your appreciation of all I have done for you these las; 36 years. Will you do it? "Come over into Macedonia and help us." All cheques for this maintenance appeal should be made payable to Just Jack Miner, and sent to me at Kingsvllle, Ontario. Your faithful t and appreciative friend. JACK MINER. Jack Mindr's ducks and geese have frequently been killed In South Carolina and their bands returned to him at the sanctuary which ho started single-handed with an old clay pit as a nucleus. In"fact, the first hand rotured came back from South Carolina. having been found on a black duck in Anderson county, if mentor) serves correctly. Needless to say. bis work is of apodal benefit to the sportsmen of the United States, his feeding and protec tion practices saving many fine birds to go baok North and reproduce. It is to be hoped that the sporting spirit will manifest itself sufficiently to enable Jack Mnier to carry on his great work. I nFO^TRSnRlN^EET| U8E | [ STA-DRI torion I At Your Druggist's 35c * I Writer Returned; Tell of Unrest New York, Dec. 5?The ordinary 'citizen in Uermany takes his radio to bed, throws his heavy quilt over It, and softly tunes in foreign stations to learn the truth about the war. Already discontented with ersatz coffee and reduced rations, he now lq skeptical about his propaganda-laden newspapers and Berlin broadcasts and risks dire punishment to listen nightly | to the Brtish Broadcasting company's accounts of German losses. And the consequent lowering of his morale is going to be a vital factor in the final determination of the conflict, in the opinion of Warren IrYln, famous American war correspondent and radio commentator, who has just returned to the United States alter a five yeans sojourn in Europe. Mr. Irvin and his French wife are making their headquarters in the Hotel McAlpin preparatory to his departure on an extended lecture tour of the United States commencing in January, j Irvin is the only American reporter to have spent considerable time on both sides of the war. As Berlin com! mentator for the National Broadcasting company he spent the first eight [months of the war in Germany, and j thereafter was in Finland, Norway, the low Countries, the Balkans, Italy, France and finally England. "Germany'8 vast propaganda machine grinds endlessly to see that the people of that country believe only what Hitler wants them to believe and to prevent unfavorable news from reaching the outside world." Irvin relates. ? "Foreign correspondents aren't permittedsto see much, and every effort is made to influence their reports on what little they do observe. Some of the German newspapermen representing big American newspapers and syndicates are Nazis themselves and they deliberately color their stores. The censorship on all news is severe ?and newspapermen who are susspected are closely watched. A reporter who innocently halts a man in tb4 streets to ask directions exposea that person to grave danger. "I left Germany in April when (he tip came that Norway was to be invaded. When I tried to get back later I was told that I was no longer welcome because I had dared to tell some unpleasant truths in my nightly broadcasts to America. "The average person in Germany is cynical, if ho wishes a new overcoat he must first convince some bureaucrat that he actually needs it, that his old one is unfit for use?and if he finally wins consent he must surrender his old coat for the replacement. "The German knows that what his government tells him about end'ess victories against the enemy is not true, and he tries to find out. Kven in the family circle he is not safe, because a child may Innocently blab. So ho waits until all have gone to bed before he and his frau huddle under their bedding with the radio. "In one instance a Berlin family had been led to believe that a son died in battle. Being devout Catholics, thoy luado tu'ruiiKOiueuU to have A ipass for him. "While they were mourning a rap [came at the door. It waa the family butcher, summoning the mother Into the hallway for a whispered coufl. dence. Later came a grocer, still later another tradesman. "All of them wore men with whom she had dealt for years, and who therefore knew they could trust her. They told her that they had listened over the radio to British broadcasts of casualty lists and heard her son's name read as among those living, but taken prisoner. "In the circumstances, the family did not dare to cancel the arrangements for the mass, because they would have been questioned as to the course of their information that the son was living?and that might have meant concentration camp for the friendly tradesmen. "So all they could do waa go through with the mass and simulate grief, while In privacy they gave thetnselves up to a Joyous feast. "Here and there a man on the street will give vent to his feelings when talking to an American. When that bomb missed Hitler by 15 minutes at the Nazi celebration In Munich, a cab driver with whom I was riding turned to me and said: "Too bad it didn't go off a quarter of an hour earlier'." Irvin enjoys the unique distinction of having staged the first broadcast ever made under actual combat conditions, with a genuine bombardment for sound effects. ? He covered the Finnish-Russian conflict and on New Year'B eve, last year, was on the Karelian Istmus front. He asked the Finns to Area? Yoiley for his microphone, and thpy obliged by shelling a Russian position. Their marksmanship was too good, however. The angry Russians responded so fiercely that their shells fell around him and he barely was able to crawl on his belly to the safety of a Finnish dugout.
