There are strawberry and raspberry bushes, and various kinds of vegetables. "The lawns are dotted with large shade trees and the buildings are bordered with beautiful flowers. As one flower makes its seasonable exit, a new and equally beautiful one so that we have flowers appears, all through the summer months. In our birdbaths we have seen robins, orioles, canaries, wrens and a catbird. One cunning little wren has made its nest in a small balsam fir just outside the window of our ward.

"Paralysis, hip and spinal dislocations and other similar disorders are treated in the orthopedic ward. Blake Smith, now discharged from the hospital, received such excellent treatment in this ward for seven years that he is now walking with only a slight limp. It is wonderful to realize that he is able to walk at all. "Alice Nash, who was an orthopatient here for three pedic years, was graduated last spring from Jefferson High School and is planning to enter Geneseo Normal. With the aids of crutches and a brace she is able to get around quite nicely.

"Sophia Litto, who was born with dislocated, hip bones, and who cast for eight months, has just started walking. Harriet Clancy, who suffered from infantile paralysis last August, is now able to walk again, although it will be necessary for her to have one more operation before she is sent home. "Last October Loretta Muscarella underwent a spinal operation, and lay on her back on a straight Bradford frame for five ing, and will probably be months. Now she is up and wallscharged shortly. "The medical patients, many of whom are suffering from lack of nourishment, chorea and cardiac and kidney diseases, are usually kept here from three to six months.

From Aug. 1, 1936, to July 31, 1937, the hospital cared for 139 medical and 43 orthopedic patients, their ages varying from 2 to 15 years. of the medical patients, "SOME suffer from cardiac diseases along with different forms of paralysis, are given treatment five days a week. treatconsist of massage and exercise to strengthen their muscles.

15, 1933. Samaritan Balked By Racing Pigeon A racing pigeon which can't be identified because it won't stand still long enough is causing Grover Aldrich, 158 Malling Drive, plenty of worry. Aldrich, who believes the bird to be valuable, has tried to read the inscription on its leg band with no success. Every time he attempts to catch the pigeon, read the band and sent him home where he belongs, the bird calmly walks away and, if pursuit becomes too hot, takes to the air. The bird dropped from the skies on the Aldrich yard about three weeks ago, apparently exhausted after a long flight.

The walls and floors are white tile, and the chairs and tables are painted an ivory color, which gives the whole room a fresh, bright antiseptic appearance. The napkin rings at each place at table are designed to look like Scotties, ducks, rabbits and the tables are small or large, according to the ages of the children who sit at them. The plates used by the smaller children are decorated with nursery rhymes and pictures.

"The food at the hospital is the best, and we have an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. Hardly a child is entered here who doesn't start gaining in weight after the first week; the meals served under the supervision of Miss Harle, our superintendent, assures this. "A librarian calls twice a week during the summer and. once a week during the winter months, and even children as young as 4 years may have books. The hospital library itself is lined from floor ceiling with interesting books, and for those of us who are unable to call and get the books, a service is provided for delivering them in pushcarts to bed patients.

"DURING the school term there are two teachers at the hospital, and the course extends from kindergarten through the 10th grade. Patients who are able to do so take regular examinations in June. The orthopedic patients go to school in bed, and the medical patients are instructed in a regular classroom, which is similar to the classrooms in the ordinary grade schools. "The orthopedics have maintained a hospital paper, called 'Sunshine News' (and a lively, interesting, cheerful, little paper it is, too. H.

Several Organizations and individuals make it possible for us to enjoy movies, and among the former are the Rochester Folding Box Company, the Daughters of the Nile, the Children's Cripple Guild and the board of the hospital. We are sending to you, Mr. Clune, a copy of our paper, and we hope you may find it interesting.

"We owe much to our superintendent, Miss Harle. She takes an interest in each child and sees that many of our desires are fulfilled. Every day she visits each of us, for a little chat. She permits former patients to return and visit with us. We are very grateful for the kindnesses of Miss Harle and the other members of the staff and we will never forget them, "Miss Harle and all of the patients invite you to visit the Convalescent Hospital for Children.

Won't you please come?" "Sincerely yours, "Harriet Clancy and Loretta Muscarella."

No wise bird after being caught in a trap once would try stealing chickens from the same roost again and when the name on the mail box is Butcher, any bird would have to be actually dumb to try it, regardless of a weakness for hens.

J. Deuel of Buffalo Road, Chili, four miles from the Butcher farm, has a chicken farm and is one who has hearty congratulations for Mr. Butcher. Deuel, too, was bothered by owls on a chicken diet. It was nothing to find four or five missing when heads were counted in the morning.

Only a few weeks ago, Deuel said, he went after an owl attacking his chickens and got close enough to see a trap and a piece of chain dangling from one of the owl's feet. When Deuel heard Butcher had slain an owl with a trap clinging to it, he went post haste to the Butcher home and is said to have identified it as the same that bad been seen in his henyard. heard a commotion among his chickens and found a huge owl with one of his choicest hens in its t-lons.
