Canadian Boardwalk For Bird Watchers Recommended By Local Resident

By BERNIECE H. DWYER With those of you who are bird lovers, 1 would like to share an experience my son and I had recently. Forty miles southeast of Detroit jutting into Lake Erie is Canada's Point Pelee National Park which serves as a resting place for migratory birds. Point Pelee is a sand spit that projects southward into Lake Erie from near Leamington. Ontario, in a perfectly tapered triangle. Six square miles at its tip have been incorporated into point Pelee National Park Q. Because it.is located on one of

the major flyways and because it projects southward into Lake Erie, it is the first landfall for thousands of exhausted birds. A meandering six-foot-wide boardwalk has been built out over the 2.500 acre cattail marsh that occupies two thirds of the park. At the end of the walk is an observation tower where one can sit and watch the birds. Another observation tower was being constructed at the edge of the swamp Pelee is a world-famous meeting place for ornithologists. A nature center with a resident

naturalist is located in the park. Illuminated displays explain how climate, lake, dunes, marshes, animals and birds are interrelated. An auditorium is also a part of this interpretative center for group meetings. A paved road runs almost to the end of the Point, skirting the marsh. On either side as one approaches the Point, on can hear, smell, and see the waves and whitecaps of Lake Erie. TTiere are thirteen miles of beaches, picnic areas, and campgrounds in the Park. The park’s role as Grand Central station for birds begins in early spring. While only about 50 species of birds can be classed as residents, more than 270 species have been observed. The literature secured from the nature center reads that during the first week of May any reasonably observant enthusiast can spot a hundred species before lunch; an experience one will find even more. The height of the warbler migration is in May. The autumn migration is at its height during September and October. In the fall, the Park is also the resting place, for huge aggregations of (monarch butterflies awaiting'a favorable breeze to carry them over the lake and toward their winter rendezvous in Texas or Louisiana.

In addition to the Boardwalk over the marsh, there are othir trails for the nature lover. Yti will almost certainly want to walk to the tip of the point, if onk to say that you have stood on the southernmost tip of the Canadian mainland. This Canadian National Park is 40 milei southeast of Detroit, just beyoril the small town of Leamington. This makes it only 250 miles fron Milford. We crossed the Any bassador Bridge in Detroit, ani drove 35 miles on Highway No. 1 through Ontario Province to I small town of Leamington. On tario. Leamington, by the way claims to be the tomato capital oi the world. Their tourist information booth is a simulated large ripe red tomato! The Canadian plant of Heinz 57 soups is located here. Kevin and I had hoped that we could have a tour through this plant but spring vacation was a bit too early for their regularly conducted summer tours. For those of you who would like a short trip to Canada, I would suggest that you pack your binoculai s and pajamas and head for Point Pelee National Park in southern Ontario province. I threw bread upon the waters and sure enough, I got something back. A $lO fine fee littering.

The Peoples Congressman- Not the Politicians!

RE-ELECT CONGRESSMAN EARL LANDGREBE r REPUBLICAN PRIMARY . . . MAY 2, 1972. JEsSiMK Congressman Earl Landgrebe knows the politically "smart" thing is to go to Washington and never make waves. In other words go along with whatever is asked by the politicians and bureaucrats. ■4H Fortunately Earl Landgrebe is not that kind of congressman. He knows the deficit spending that is supposed to bring us prosperity. Will not. If it could it would have years L on, y brings us inflation with its.high prices and high unemployment. | With the housewife paying higher prices, the farmer barely surviving and businessmen I struggling for an honest return on investment Earl Landgrebe is not above demanding economy in government. Earl Landgrebe remembers the days when he drove a truck for a living and he knows how hard it is for the workingman to make ends meet when Washington politicians refuse to j '/ / keep down taxes and spending. Maybe this is why Earl Landgrebe refuses to be another “GO ALONG", politician. He cares too much for his friends and neighbors who live second district. This is why we in the second district are going to return Earl Landgrebe to Washington. Won't you help? k ■ 1

CONGRESSMAN EARL LANDGREBE — Second District United States Congressman Earl Landgrebe visited Kosciusko county Saturday in a sweep through the district to win re-election to a third term in the U. S. congress in the May 2 election. Shown here he is holding a street corner conversation with Jim Wine, r 3 Syracuse, a Viet Nam veteran. Kosciusko county is now in the Third District, but will vote in the Second District and be in the, Second District following the May 2 election. Landgrebe is stumping hard for what he calls "the rural He says about Viet Nam: "We should hit 'em hard or chicken out. If we’re going to continue a no-win policy, we may as well buy our way out and come home." He calls deficit spending “more dangerous than the communistic threat. Interest on our national debt is $43,000 per minute," he said. He favors strong tax reforms, and has introduced a bill (not passed) to reduce imports; he has defended the REMC consistently and opposed legislation, state and federal that would destroy the efficiency of the REMC to furnish electricity to the rural areas at a reasonable price. Will Chapel and Elliott Kaye-Smith are co-chairmen of the Kosciusko County Landgrebe-For-Congress Committee.
