A first person account describes a summer of bird watching sparked by a unique bird house. Jenny Wren and mate labor to nest while a red squirrel eyes the hole and a robin dives to deter intruders, keeping the watcher enthralled for days.
The narrator bemoans birdwatching habits and animal lore while venturing into political fear. He links birds and humans, laments communists among bird lovers, warns of socialists gaining influence in Canada, and questions who will act as the robin in a tense national drama. Conflicted tones mix avian hobbyism with political anxiety about propaganda and power.
Commentary argues socialism costs money and is often hidden in general funds. The writer notes voters grow wise to social service costs, urges transparency by governments and business, and critiques socialist claims about state enterprises. The piece questions funding clarity and political promises.
Manitoba reports about six thousand miles of trunk and secondary highways accessible by phone.

Two main phones handle up to 300 inquiries during holiday weekends, directing motorists to road conditions between points A and B.
