were for. But a few objected. ( )ne man in particular 

 would not sign because the birds ate his berries one 

 year. He had only a few, but the birds got them, 

 and he is still grieving about it. I talked and ex- 

 plained for half an hour, but couldn't convince him 

 it was for the best. I could have gotten several more 

 ranch signers if it had not been for our school in the 

 summer. As a member of the Green Meadow Club 

 I was anxious to do my part in this valuable war- 

 time work for our country, to help feed our Allies.

Your splendid work for bird life conservation 

 has been an inspiration to us. If the birds have a 

 chance they will work themselves into the hearts of 

 our boys and girls and stay there. We find that 

 landowners never refuse to help children who really 

 love birds. Whole communities feel kindlier toward 

 our feathered friends. During the past five years we 

 have maintained a bird hospital at our school and 

 have had the pleasure of saving more than a 

 thousand birds that otherwise would have been lost.
