Several feeding-stations were kept constantly supphed with food last winter,

We have had some good lectures this year, one by Samuel Scoville, Jr., 

 Staff NaturaHst of the Boy Scouts of Philadelphia and Counties; Rev. Herbert 

 Westwood, of Mt. Airy, who used the Pennsylvania State Museum Slides; and 

 Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, Secretary of the State Game Commission, who used stuffed 

 specimens of our common birds to illustrate his interesting talk. In December, 

 70 of us went to hear Ernest Harold Baynes, the founder of our Club, in his 

 ever-interesting and impressive lecture on 'Wild Birds.' 



At one meeting the entertainment was almost entirely by the Juniors. 

 Their interest is a great source of encouragement to the Club. We feel that 

 especially in these strenuous times the Bird Club gives a needed recreation 

 and has another purpose than helping the birds. — Esther Heacock, Cor- 

 responding Secretary.
