Bui. Annoyed by Visi lors he becomes t i c most dangerous Bird in the world. He is one of those tall Bulky Birds called ratites ant the ratites Are too heavy to Fly. You might mistake him for an Nostri a Wilh string in Black plumage plus other Odd Fca lures. The cassowary is armed like a Warrior and Figlilo like a karate expert. T h e Cassow Aries resemble Ilic ostriches and the Rhca Birds though they arc not re lated. There arc three species classed in the family Casu Arii Dae and All of them arc at Home on the far Side of the Globe. They live in the dense tropical Jungles of new Guinea on several nearby islands and in the Northeast Corner of Queensland Australia. In spite of their fierce reputations the Cassow Aries arc nol meat eating Hunters. They Dine mainly on vegetable food and prefer to keep out of sight most of the time they conceal themselves in dense Jungle thickets. During the Early mornings and evenings Small groups of the big Birds forage for mils and fruit and perhaps insects. Cassow Aries have Ihrck lord feet armed with huge and deadly claws. On their Long naked necks they Wear a Vari Ely of vivid patches selected from reds blues greens Yel lows and purples. Their Heads arc Armor plated with Bony helmets or High basques. Their Bulky bodies lire covered with droopy Black . The largest cassowary weighs 120 pounds and stands almost six feet tall. He wears a High razor Sharp Casque on his head. Like All his Kinfolk he is a Strong athlete. With Bis head held Down and his Onvall wings extended he can Cut his Way through tangled underbrush at 30 Miles an hour. Iti the open he can run Fasler.

Dur ing this period the Bossy father sits on the nest. He Laler lends the Perky Little striped Chicks. All goes Well unless some body threatens the cassowary s privacy. When intruders arrive the devoted father runs away. I r y i n g to distract attention from the precious nest. When cornered cassowary fights Wilh deadly fury. The beak and hard Crest May be used to Jab Anil slab. The main at tack is kicking. Kach blow is backed up by mighty Muscles and the Well aimed claws slash Long deep gashes. A but with cassowary can be fatal even to a grown Man. Andy sends a seven volume set of. The chronicles of narnia to Paul Mcnac age 10, of St. Bruno Quebec. Is the Ivory Bill i Woodpecker already extinct Early in the Century our two largest and most Beautiful j woodpeckers seemed doomed to extinction. Loggers were their native forests. One of the threatened species was the i Ica Ted Woodpecker a jul Inch Black and White Bird Wilh a vivid Scarlet Crest. However. He has managed to survive in Bolh the . And Canada where new Fores arc replacing those that were stripped. The larger Ivory filled Wood Pecker was not so Lucky. He depended on the big old Trees that grew in p i and swamp forests around the Mississippi. In 1042, the Audubon society selected this Bird for the first study of an endangered species. Time after Lime conservationists pleaded to preserve his native forests. But during the 1030s no Ivory Bills were seen and Bird watchers gave up Hope. Then during the 1060s a few sight Ings were claimed though s o m e experts suspect that Fhi so Birds might have been Pica cd woodpeckers. Our Best Hope is that a few Ivory ills still survive in swamp forests ill Louisiana and Eastern Texas but nobody is certain. Andy sends a seven a Hinic set if the Chroni cles of narnia to Jody Alan Jones age 11, of Gastonia no. Carolina for his ques Tion. Why Don t reptiles have Back Ionus a wiggly Snake seems to have no Backbone at All. A Turtle seems to have a Shell in Stead of a Backbone. Both snakes and turtles arc relies. And believe it or not All rep tiles have backbones. They do indeed even the snakes and the turtles. A Backbone As you know is made of a lot of Small Bones. The Small Bones arc linked together to form a Long Chain. Backbones arc band Abl be cause there arc grisly joints Between the Small Bones. The Snake s Backbone is More band ii blk than most because he has More of these Small Bones. A Turtle cannot Bend Bis Back Bone at All because it is fixed firmly onto the underside of his Shell. Lizards crocodiles and All the other members of inc reptile clan have bendable backbones made from Small Bones. All the Birds the fishes and inc furry mammals also have backbones. So do the frogs inc loads and the Sala Manders. History today Mackenzie s voyage of discovery by Bob Bowman there Are two prominent Alexander Macken Zies in Canadian history. One was sir Alexander Mackenzie the explorer and the other was Alex a Ander Mackenzie the first Liberal prime minister. All the other prime ministers from Macdonald to Borden accepted Knighthood. Sir Alexander had two outstanding achieve ments. He was the first Man to explore the River now named after him the longest River in Canada and he was the first Man to Cross the North Ameri can continent by land. His writings about experiences in Canada encouraged lord Selkirk to establish a settlement at red River and inspired Napoleon to try to Recap Ture Canada for France. In 1785, the North West company sent the Young Scot to establish a trading Post fort Chipewyan on Lake Athabaska. He Learned about a great River flowing from great slave Lake which is bigger than Lake Ontario and hoped it might be a route to the Pacific. So june he set out in a Canoe with five voyageurs and two of their wives. The women s skills were essential on such a Long trip. They were delayed for two weeks because great slave Lake was still Frozen but entered the River july 1. It was a wild trip in some places and indians tried to Stop them after they had gone Down the river500 Miles. The indians claimed there were evil spirits who would surely destroy the explorers but Mackenzie insisted on continuing. July 14 he reached the Mouth of the River which was a great disappointment because if flowed into the Arctic Ocean not the Pacific. Then came the trip Back against the current which took two months. They had covered Miles in about three months other events july 14 1645 French and Iroquois signed peace treaty at three Rivers. 1760 general Murray left Quebec with troops to join general Amherst s attack on Montreal. 1763 Baron de l Esperance was Given islands of St. Pierre Miquelon for settlement. 1756 generalmontcalmcapturedlakeoswcgo.n.y., and controlled Lake Ontario. 1915 sir Robert Borden was first Dominion prime mini Ster to attend a British government Cabinet meeting 1932 International peace Garden was opened along Mani Toba North Dakota Border. 1941 lieutenant general .

Rosen Berg it is one of the dread Dis eases of our time this eminent physician was saying. All at once those of us who were listening thought of some terrible physical ailment. No it is none of these. I thinking of Man s sense of loneliness. Frightening As human beings we can endure a wide variety of physical discomfort. We can withstand privation even poverty per severing in the Hope for better tomorrows. But life seems to go all1 to pieces when deep Down within us we experience the gnawing sense of being All alone. Life then loses All mean ing for us. As children we exhibit our fear of abandonment. We crave the Light shun the dark Ness we Are comforted when we Are certain that beloved close at hand. No matter How profoundly we mature As we grow older we never do outgrow the Basic human need for close rapport with someone to love. It is not the Bible was right in teaching for Man to be one teacher explained weep not for the dead weep for inc living. The dead go to their rest and we Are condemned to indeed the pain of bereavement and Mournful sorrow is essentially the ache of loneliness. We Don t easily abide the forlorn feeling of having been Hope Lessly and utterly abandoned. What causes loneliness Many Are lonely because they prefer to run away from unpleasant reality. They seek pleasure and remain unwilling or even unable to endure its absence. We would rather close our eyes the Sor did the perplexing or the tormenting. We prefer to regard our selves As the Centre of life s meaning at the heart of god s universe. If we. Lack what we think we need we flee from life we seek protecting arms. Too often those we sought Are not there. They too arc Busy fleeing seeking mindlessly for the unattainable. And so we often remain helplessly alone stripped of the necessary Armor with which to defend our lives from either alack or whal is even worse from sheer boredom. We lend to blame our loneliness on ourselves for investing Loo much love in someone who no longer Here or someone who no longer cares. Had i nol loved so deeply i would not now in this hour of Sor Row know the. Terrible feeling of this is the self accusation one Oflyn hears. Hut this is not True love in is infantile. Infantile love says i love you because i need luvs indeed is a cure in our loneliness but Only a mature love. A lure love is an act of Faith. It says i need you because 1 love immature infantile Luvcas think of love principally in terms of objects. We love Liis Man this woman this Home this Garden this nation. But full robust mature love More than any of these things it is inc affirmation of life itself. Such love Speaks a different language. Ii says i love life because i have a creative ongoing concern for the world. In Spile of myself my own hurls and pains i want to watch things grow to Sec inc seed Lake Root to observe How Ife itself and True love dedicates in self to ceaseless labor so thai life May indeed grow and that men May always continue to aspire. This above All is the creative Way out of our loneliness.
