Here's a chance for the boys and girls of this vicinity to earn some cash or other prizes and also help in providing bird houses for the town park

The "Bird Sanctuary Fish Club" is offering $10 in cash and several other prizes to boys building the best bird houses.

These must be completed by May 1.

The houses will become the property of the Fish Club and will be placed in the town park as an attraction for more birds.

Naturally the house must be practical and it is suggested that those entering the contest study the requirements for bird houses before starting construction.

Announcement will be later as to where the bird houses are to be left for judging.

In the meantime, any further information regarding the contest may be secured from Charles Cowen.
