■ gEL '} i ""* ’ Sara-Cuse 'Says' By Ardis Larson BIRD FEEDERS . .. we saw several before noting a newspaper item on the matter which told, “They need food now as never before.” The article tells that “without adequate' food they’re unable to produce the body heat needed to prevent them from freezing to •death in the bitter cold. Scientists say that without birds this earth soqiy would be uninhabitable for jlhan. The insects (would take over and destroy the food supply.” Since they are protecting our food supply, it seems only fair that we can see that they are fed. So let’s us round up some bird seed or other food they can use and feed the birds. When we went to uptown Syracuse Monday we didn’t see any, where we looked around. So on arrival home, we made some bread crumbs and larger and sprinkled on an icy stretch. After all, we should practice what we preach, eh? fSARA’ was glad to be back on the front page of The Milford Mail again instead of having to tell questioners the inside page it was on. After all it is only genius that seeks to hide itself. WAYNE FULLER, Byron Conchy's fine meat manager at the grocery ... we have to check ourself from taking up his time. Mr. Fuller sure knows his vocation and has even raised our personal IQ in meat selection. RUTH PRICKETT, in the same store, we love the way she always says “Thank' You” with the soft accent on "you” at the end. 'THAT’S THE WAY the clock stops” is the slogan for the Syra-cuse-Wawasee Water Safety Council for this year’s financial project. Funds must be raised each year for tl).e teaching of all phases of Water-'Safety and swimming. More than 50,000 people used the beaches here last year. We think the “clock stops” is a real cute ’n clever ’n interesting 'n profitable project to raise the needed funds. Each of the 12 civic organizations have tickets. HELEN PURDY at the Dixie Restaurant . . . delish-looking in her white attire with a soft wooly yellow sweater. She’s a good waitress and a sweet person. How does one manage such good looks combined with efficiency? MARILYN SMITH at Lakeside Bakery ... a doll, we vow! We wanted some sweet ’ll rich rolls, regardless of being fattering, and she took us in the back to choose our own. Well, it wasn’t easy with all those varieties of pastry to choose from. We made out, however. THE EINAR T. Anderson’s Ipvely Temple Bells on each gable -of their summer home here, overlooking the race bank, and farther past the Syracuse schools. We always “short cut” there to the post office and listen for the music that comes at the slighest breeze to set the bells in motion. LAURA STUCKY at Thornburg drug soda bar . . .we loved that large bag of hers. Is it tapestry? Sure is a beauty. We worried a second when it sat on the floor, but then noticed it was fitted with _ knobs, to sit on. DARR’S GULF Service and the Au*r Service Station sure are busy in last week’s weather. Much business pushing cars to start. Every time we looked around there was someone getting a boost by Auer or Darr.
