All members are urged to pay their dues for the coming year by the last of November. zV^to-S-fear Sentence Peter Furey, 25, the so-called walking burglar,\ who 'broke into supermarkets, gas stations and a bank branch, ftiainly in Altamont, has been described as \the product of a broken home,\ after he insisted* a second time on going to jail for his crimes, and won his 'plea. County Judge Schenek last week permitted Furey to withdraw his earlier innocent plea to nine in- dictments growing out of the crime, spree last August and September. The court sentenced Furey to 2Vz to five years on each count of third- degree burglary and grand larceny for the Grand Union store burglary at 1235 Western Ave., Albany, Sept.' 17. The two sentences at Clinto'n ; Prison, Dennamora, will run con- currently. The remaining indictments will be dismissed, it was indicated. J. Richard Williams, assigned counsel, said Furey had told him, \I am anxious to pay for what I did.\ Mr. Williams said the court and the district attorney's office were fully familiar with Furey's background, beginning in Brooklyn, where his parents were divorced when he was 5 years old. \Twice after the divorce Furey had skirmishes as a youth with the law,\ Mr. Williams said. \Once he was sentenced as a wayward minor to Elmira and was processed to Cox- sackie, where he served a year. That was not a felony, since he was still under 18.\ Mr. Williams went on to relate that Furey was placed on a farm in a remote section of Albany county, near Gallupville, two miles from the nearest traveled road. The farm was owned by his mother and step- father, she having remarried in 1947. \They placed him on the farm alone to keep him out of trouble,' Mr. Williams said. \He was to be a farmer. He had no equipment and no car. He had no friends and knew no one. Once a week they sent him groceries. One day, -fed up, he left a note at the farmhouse, walked off and began his series of burglaries.' Birds Hungry This Fall, Start Feeding Them Now Start feeding the birds now. Their natural food supply is short. Last' summer's drought reduced woodland vegetation. So there were fewer seeds on weeds and shrubs Woodland birds were forced into the suburbs to feed on berries of dog- woods, viburnums, pyracantha, haw thorn and mountain ash, according to Robert A. Bartlette of the Barflett Tree Experts. Then along came flocks of migrat-, ing hungry birds. Now, after their departure, there is little food left'for birds that normally stay around all winter. Even crows boldly venture into downtown city areas in search of food. Dooryard bird feeders .are, simple to erect. Once you start feeid' ing birds, keep it up all winter. , • Seeds,-and .suet.purchased in a s<2ea, store • will' supplement the diet ot.'Q., pine (grosbeak searching for the las|tj berry on' a .California privet, or a\ redbird seeking out the remaining berries on a juniper, yew and sumac:, or a cedar waxwing, hungry because the black-colored berries of Japanese honeysuckle all have gone. Birds richly repay in friendship and insect protection. Keep them around aft winter to help clean up insect eggs or borers and bark 'beet- les in your trees. Downy and hairy-woodpeckers dig out destructive bark beetles. Chicka-; dees and nuthatches prefer scale*, pests and insect eggs.
