He was imprisoned in the Tower of London at the time. Cupid, another symbol of the holiday, hol-iday, became associated with it because he was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty. By Dennis Hinkamp Feeding birds throughout the winter win-ter is both a humanitarian act and a way to bring birdwatching to your own back yard in the cold months. Bird food sales in the U.S. last year topped $200 million. However, poorly maintained bird feeding stations may cause the birds you are trying to help, some real problems. Recently, there have been increasing reports of songbird dis eases that have been spread through bird feeding, says Terry Messmer, Utah State University Extension Wildlife specialist. According to the National Wildlife Health Center, there are five diseases that affect birds which visit bird feeders, Messmer says. There diseases are Salmonellosis, Aspergillosis, Avian Pox, Trichomonas and Mycopalmosis. All of these diseases can lead to death either directly or indirectly. by making the bird more vulnerable to predators. He suggests these preventative measures that will make for healthi er birds and lesson the chance of spread of disease from your bird feeder.

Clean up wastes-Keep the feeder feed-er area clean of waste food and droppings. A broom and shovel will work, but a wet and dry vacuum is great. Make feeders physically safe-Use safe-Use feeders with rounded comers. Feeders with sharp edges may cut birds thus allowing bacteria an opening to infect otherwise healthy birds. Keep feeders clean-Clean and disinfect feeders regularly. Use one part of liquid chlorine bleach in nine parts of warm water. Make enough solution to immerse empty feeders completely for 2-3 minutes. Allow the feeder to air dry. This should be done at least once a month. Use quality food Discard food that smells musty, is wet, looks old, or has fungus growing on it. Clean and disinfect any storage containers or scoops that were used to store the feed to fill the feeders. Prevent contamination-Keep rodents and pets out of stored food. Rodents can carry and spread some bird diseases without being affected themselves. Follow these precautions and you and your birds will continue to enjoy your bird feeding efforts, Messmer says. Love... continued from B1 was a cryptographer in the Army Signal Corps. A furlough brought Henry back for their July 27, 1942, marriage in Logan. When the war ended three years later, Mildred recalls "It was a special spe-cial reunion" when she and their first son met him in Salt Lake City. Working hard together as a family and helping neighbors was the binding bind-ing element in their marriage. Dan and Clara Price also feel that working together as a family team pays big benefits for couples establishing estab-lishing their own homes. Dan advises, "Plan time together as husband and wife and with your children, and let them know that they are very important to you." lone and Marven Tippetts raised their children knowing that Mom and Dad were a team. "All the children chil-dren knew that mothersat-beside dad in the car and that we would all work things out together. We knew not to go to bed angry with each other, but to make up and start the new day with a fresh outlook," lone says. Floyd and Aston Workman, wed July 17, 1937, say that families are not seen together today. "We'd do things together, and go very few places without one another." Aston adds, "The more together you are, the closer you are." Theda Washburn says that her father had a reputation for being hard on young suitors where his daughters were concerned, but that he took an immediate liking to Fred Washburn. Married July 28, 1936, Fred courted Theda after long rides from Salt Lake City on his Harley-Davidson Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Fred and Theda encourage husbands hus-bands and wives to always think of ways to keep love alive by paying attention to their mate. "Never take him or her for granted," grant-ed," cautions Theda. Niles and Frances Southam encourage couples to "make time for each other and enjoy." They have enjoyed this philosophy since Dec. 26, 1940. L.Y. and Merle Siddoway are looking forward to their 70th wedding wed-ding anniversary this July 21. Married in 1934 in the midst of the Depression and continuing education, educa-tion, the couple advise patience and understanding to those getting married mar-ried today. Penned the poet Merle, "As I thought of our lives together, These things came to view-Husbands view-Husbands are the captains-Wives are the crew." Harry and Ruth Tomlinson, began their long-lived marriage August 24, 1941. Ruth feels that today's marriages need to realize that "If they don't work together they won't make it." Her father counseled them at their marriage, that marriage is not for a day-they would have to work on making their marriage last. Aston Rogers says of her 60-year marriage to sweetheart Ivan, "You just have to hang in there and be strong." Married July 23, 1943, the Rogers enjoy their Pelican Lake home, and say they don't feel that they have "worked" on marriage, but just took their experiences as they came along. Whatever the circumstances, whatever the joint philosophies, this sampling of "60-year-pIus marriages" mar-riages" show that love is still being polished bright this Valentine's Day. I |
