Recently the predicament of a robin in dire circumstance, provoked the ingenuity of several people in North Ottawa. Miss Nellie March, retired Lincoln School teacher and a longtime na ture lover, noticed that a robin had caught his leg in a length of kite cord. The trouble was, theU cord was looped across the street from one tall treetop to another. She pro vided a ball of LOIS string which a volunteer threw over the line to bring it down. However the cord brpke from the ball allowing the string to fail to the ground.

The rescue was finally accomplished by a fisherman. He removed the hook from his line, attached the pole and reel to lengths of pipe to make a long extension, and cast from the top of a ladder steadied by another person. The bird, much worse for his experience of hanging by one leg, was finally brought down. Miss March kept him all night in a box, then released him where she thought he would be safe from cats until he regained his strength.

My husband's aunt gave our three children checks at Easter time. This an is well-to -dofF and quitejj a show of worldly goods. When she presented the children with the checks ($50 each) she made i a ceremony of it. All eANN LANDERS checks bounced last week and my husband and I don't know whether to mention it to his aunt or not. realize we should not have held ihe checks so long before putting them through, but we never anticipated this problem.

What is your AND P. Dear A. and It's most likely that your husband's aunt would give the kids rubber checks for Easter. Put the checks through again and give them a chance to clear. If they fail to make the grade a second time, your husband shoulr mention this to auntie and give her an opportunity to make some explanation.

Perhaps e's changed banks or started a new checking account and depleted the old one intentiionally. Dear Ann: My wife and I have been married two years. I think we're as happy as most marriec couples, but something is bothering me. We seem to wind up in an argument over the least little thing. Most people converse; my wife argues.

There are times when I disagree with her, but I find myself saying nothing or pretending to accept her point of view just to keep peace. Now, I'm wondering if this is wise. In your opinion, what kind of a man just sits there and lets things pass, in order to avoid a Dear H.H.H.: A married one. Silence is the best defense against people who have open mouths and closed minds. Individuals who will take either side of any argument are never convinced so save your breath to cool your soup.
