tiGHT - tAw e^tWILD LIFE 3 v SOUTH CAROLINA ^vIwith PftOF-FBANKLIN 5NEBMAN HfeA»-e»-6M30** COLLS5E • D6PT OP ZOOLCttV ROBIN “Sir Robin is one of our best known and best loved birds, a g-ood-looker and a pleasing songster. In most parts of S. C. Robins are present the year ’round; yet at Charleston they are more numerous in winter than in summer; at Clemson more present in summer than in winter. Through out the state Robins are more num erous during the migrations (spring and fall) than during summer or winter. So Robins’ status va-ies in differ ent sections, and indeed we have more than one variety of the Robin species. The Robin-population shift-; northward in spring and southward in autumn, and although the species may be in one locality all year, we can not be sure whether the same in dividual remains all year. Perhaps the younger generation of bird-band ers will someday solve this Robin riddle. The Robin has changed its own status within recent years. Long time Clemson residents say that in former years few Robins nested ih this vicinity; while Robin nests are now common here. Robin has simply extended its nesting-range south wardly. It is possible, (though unlikely) that Robin has become more resident with us because we have changed our attitude toward him. Formerly we considered the Robin a game bird, and in season strings of Robinp hung in restaurant windows, to be “picked and roasted while you wait”. That practice is now illegal. While the male may have a brighter red breast and a more glossy-black head, this is not dependable enough to be sure of separating the sexes at sight. But if Robin is singing, it is a male; the females never truly sing. Robin’s nest is unusual in that a wall of mud is port of its construe^ tion. Coarse twigs form the frame work, then come smaller twigs and other materials, then the layer of mud, (which you may see Robin ga thering at wet places) and finally the inside lining of fine rootlets, plant fibers, etc. The pale blue eggs are four or five in number. Robin feeds on insects, berries and small fruits. He may do appreciable harm to strawberries, raspberries and cherries, yet he also devours large numbers of harmful insects. Most people overlook Sir Robin’s berry-eating sins in heir of his im- macudate appearance, pleasing song, and insect-destroying appetite. MAYS - CANNON Cathedral candles, baskets of white roses and snapdragons, palms, ferns, and smilax decorated the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Reid in Freder icksburg, Va. for the wedding of Miss Sarah Marie Mays, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.

COUNTS Save leftover vegetables — even dabs ahd spoonfuls. Conserving the small amounts is one way to help food fight for fredom. The res many a hearty dish in the making when an icebox holds vegetable leftovers too small to be served by themselves, say- home economists of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. Cooked vegetables are good mixed with one another, and even better mixed with a bit of meat or fish. Leftovers needn’t crowd the icebox; if -foods to be used together are stored in one dish. Here are a few of the ways to put vegetable leftovers to good use: Reheat mixed vegetables, such as peas, turnips, carrots, com, and serve with hot white sauce. If re heating is done in a pan in which meat has just been cooked, the vege tables will take up good meat flavor. Or, for added flavor dress up a plain white sauce with bits of meat, fish, or grated cheese. Or give pep to the sauce with a dash of Worcestershire sauce or horseradish. Combine leftover vegetables with cooked or canned tomato and bring to a boil. Then pour into a baking dish and cover with biscuit rounds. Bake in a hot oven (425 F.) until the biscuits are nicely brown. Make a vegetable scallop by mix ing cooked vegetables with a white sauce or tomato sauce onion-flavor ed. Top with breadcrumbs and bake until bubbling and brown. Bake a big pinwheel. For this, roll out biscuit dough in a square, one-fourth inch thick. Spread with a little softened fat for extra flavor and cover with a layer of leftover vegetables. Roll up jelly-roll style, and place in a shallow baking dish, or if vegetables are not too moist a cookie baking sheet will serve. Bake in a hot oven (425 F.) about 25 min utes until brown. At serving time, slice and serve with hot tomato sauce or gravy. Or, shape dough into a pastry triangle. Pour mixed vege tables on one half fold to make a big turnover. Bake, and serve with a sauce. For zest, make it a Spanish sauce of tomatoes, green pepper, and onion. Mash cooked turnip, rutabaga, or carrot together with potato for a pleasing change. Season with salt, pepper, and- a little table fat. Lands In Italy Thos. E. Keitfc received a letter from his son, Sgt.
