Ashley Suite 935, 200 S.W. Market Portland, Ore. 97201 222-4301 Calling him an insurance “salesman" is like calling Beethoven a piano player. Sure, he sells life insurance And he's so good at it that he's won Provident Mutual s Diamond Medallion Award for outstanding sales efforts But he's far more than a salesman He's a skilled insurance counselor, a full-time professional underwriter, who can go a long way toward bringing you and your family financial security and peace of mind He's a good man to know, and a call is the only introduction you need Call today. 3 PROVIDENT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMTANY OF PHILADELPHIA For the birds Breeders enjoy fowl language To people like Herb Fenwick and E lm er and Peggy Lloyd. Mandarin Duck is not something served braised and stuffed in a Chinese restaurant. At $40 a pair, not including orange slices, the ducks as dinner would find few takers anyway. And that's just fine with Fenwick and the Lloyds The three raise birds for the pond not the pa ,,.y and insist that the progeny are for looking at only. To promote public looking and un derstanding as opposed to tasting, the Oregon Pheasant Breeders Association, of which the three are all members, has sponsored the 11th annual Competitive Game Bird Show at Memorial Coliseum, Nov 15 and 16. Fenwick, owner of Fenwick's Oldtime M ercan tile in B oring, serves as superintendent of the show, relying on know ledge gained from more than 15 years of bird breeding. In spite of his vehement stand on eating the home bred variety, Fenwick has long been a wild game bird hunter. “ One day I got this harebrained idea when I passed a sign saying pheasants for sale,’ ” Fenwick shrugged, "and I ’ve been hooked every since.” When he’s not showing birds himself, Fenw ick may be found on the other end of the trophy—he's a judge, certified by the National Gamebird Federation. What makes a good bird good and a bad bird bad0 Fenwick admitted carrying a manual of Federation standards with him into the judging ring These standards, he explained, don't reward a bird just for being beautiful. “The primary criteria for a winning fowl," he said, is that it as closely as possible approximates the size and color of the original wild specimen." A lot of the wild birds are becoming extinct either from overkill or loss of their natural habitat to spreading civilization As they’re raised in captivity, the birds develop other characteristics," Fenwick pointed out. “ We raise and show these birds to promote the original wild bird qualities " In the effort to preserve, bird breeders find that federal regulations designed to protect w ildlife can interfere. Kegulations prohibit importing or sale of endangered game birds across state lint's according to Fenwick They 're designed to keep unscrupulous people from catching and selling wild birds just to make money. Since endangered birds are raised in the State of Oregon in limited numbers, the rules may cause continued in-breeding, which will genetically weaken the species That problem has been modified by the availability of government permits—but that takes at least 90 days, a long span in the life of a bird. If it's an endangered species, Mrs Lloyd said, you can’t even sell or give away the feathers She related the story of a federal agent who once talked an Indian into selling his headdress filled with bald eagle feathers for $500 The agent turned right around and arrested him for violation of that law Lloyd m aintain ed that federal regulations kill the profit incentive for raising birds, preventing more people from going into business The Lloyds, however, "just like birds.” They bring up enough baby birds to put Alfred Hitchcock to shame Raising birds is not necessarily an easy- job, Lloyd said It's a lot of enjoyable work Tlx- Lloyds are mentioned in a national bird magazine for having "one of the finest layouts in the country ” They erected it and their liouse on a tangled patch of briars four years ago The facilities include insulated coops to ac commodate varied tem perature requirements. Incubators for new chicks, chickens to hatch pheasant eggs, and a homemade pond area forwaterfowl To the Lloyds, birds are more pets than products and they devote a lot of concern to their welfare “ We’ve had several people come here looking for birds to train their hunting dogs," Mrs. Lloyd fumed. “ We put so much time and care into raising the birds, I can’t see allowing them to be played with and torn apart for exercise Besides, we never have any trouble selling all of the 42 different kinds of birds to other breeders just as fast as they're raised.” E lm e r Lloyd Cam p fir e Signals Fairview Friends is this ye a r's C hristm as service project for the ML Hood Council of Camp F ire Girls. The project will begin with the collection of gifts to be presented individuals at the Fairview Hospital and Training Center in Salem, a state facility for the retarded. Each M t. Hood Council Camp F ire G irl is given the op portunity to give a personal gift to another child. The project involves a g irl creating, refurbishing or recycling a gift which she then gives It is a chance for each girl to find out that a renovated (discarded, outgrown, unused) or self- created item can literally recycle the joy of giving and receiving.
