    Migrating martins have returned to their cozy little bird houses at Al Cuffel's home on South Detroit Street from their annual winter pilgrimage to the south during the winter months. They arrived one day ahead of Cuffel's prediction and were chortling their songs as they inspected some of the pretty new bird houses erected for them by Cuffel. "I believe my martins got back one day ahead of Dr. John R. White's birds this year," proudly declared Cuffel.

Forrest Croop's martin house has been filled for a week, say neighbors.
