INSTALL BIRD FEEDING STATION: First grade children of Bach school built and gave to the Anna Botsford Bach Home on W. Liberty St. the bird feeding station shown above as it was placed near the home. They will keep food at the station and have studied winter birds, written about them and seen pictures of them. Their study includes also writing to the women residing at the home about the winter birds here, and the women have been invited to write to the children about the birds they see at the station. The children in the picture above are, from left to right, Clyde Camp of Montgomery Ave., Betty Lou Eisemann of Crest Ave. and Suzanne Collins of Kenwood Ave., with their teacher, Mrs. Ruth Reilly at the right.

This baby owl should be quite a wise old owl when it grows up, if going to school means anything to the bird family. It was found about two weeks ago on an Albion farm, apparently having fallen out of a tree. Brought to Ann Arbor by Mrs. Donald Abbott (left) of 939 Greenwood, it now is caged in Mrs. Abbott's room of fourth and fifth graders in Northside School. Joan E. Dolfin of 1507 Ottawa and James A. Grob of 1803 Upland are shown helping Waldo (nicknamed Wally by the students) with his studies. It is a great horned owl, about eight weeks old, and is fed raw beef kidney and pork liver.

PRIZE-WINNING HOME IS TAKEN FOR THE SEASON: James F. Calhoon, eight-year-old son of Prof. and Mrs. F. N. Calhoon of Liberty Rd. is inspecting the progress of the first occupants of his bird house in a moment of their absence. The house won for him second place in his age group in a state-wide contest. More than 2,500 houses were entered in the contest, and the shelters were placed on exhibition at the Michigan Flower show in Detroit this spring. James competed with boys up to 10 years of age. A pair of bluebirds has taken up residence in the house which has been placed high in a blossoming apple tree at the Calhoon home.
