Tagged Wild Goose Is Occasion for Revival
Jack Miner of Kingsville Ontario attached metal tags to many wild geese and released them to migrate. A tagged gray goose was shot in Mississippi by an illiterate preacher who claimed a heavenly message and held a revival. Indian hunters in the Far North feared the tagged birds as marked by evil. Miner's work shows birds return to the same haunt yearly, kindness overcomes fear, and geese migrate along a roughly sixty mile per hour route.
