1 J The All-America Bird This is the most famous portrait of one of the two most famous birds in America. It was painted a hun dred years ago by John James Audubon for his classic bird book and has been reproduced times without number. Audubon spent a lot of time studying painting and writing about the turkey. For an all-America bird, the turkey has a queer name, and he got into grandpa's barnyard by a queer route via Europe. But it's now conceded that the (gobbler's name might have come from his call notes turk, turk, turk rather than from the name of the country with which our European forbears falsely identified him. The early Spanish explorers came upon the turkey as a do mesticated fowl in Mexico and promptly sent him back to Spain as a trophy from the new world. From Spain he went to France and' England and thence back to New England with the early settlers. There the Pilgrims and Puri tans found the turkey's first cousins great flocks of them wild in the woods. If it hadn't been for the turkey, there might not have been a first Thanksgiving, so important was it as a food bird. A sharp shooter could knock off a dozen turkey in the course of a morning and count himself lucky because the birds then as now weighed from 16 to 20, sometimes 40 pounds. Such hunting cut down the turkey flocks in short order but as late as 1717 they sold for as little as shilling fourpence apiece in Northampton, Mass. In congress, at the time the Bald Eagle was voted the symbol of v the newborn United States, the f turkey championed by Ben Franklin was runnerup. Originally a friendly, stupid sort of bird, the turkey has been educated into extreme wariness. One authority calls it the "noblest game bird in the world." . Running as fast as a dog when frightened, it flushes rarely. A trained turkey dog, however, will jump barking Into the midst of a flock and send them winging away. Then the canny hunter sits down to take advantage of their instinctive return to the place of their fright. The wild turkey, which used to range abundantly from New England to eastern Mexico, per sists still in Pennsylvania, east ern Texas, the gulf coast and various other parts of the old south. Nearly 3000 a year are shot in Pennsylvania where re stocking has made it compara tively abundant. ' William Pendergast Dies in Portland Portland, Nov. 21 (fl) Wil liam J.

Sailors Move On Cargo Boat Portland, Nov. 21 m Five hundred sailors and Seabees were bound for California today in the ship they dubbed the "U. S.S. Pneumonia" when they re belled at being packed into un healed holds for the transfer voyage the navy said would speed their discharge. The cargo vessel, ordered into transport service because of shortage of railroad transporta tion ,was cleared by naval phy sicians as "liveable and habit able" after the demonstration here yesterday. Lt. Commdr. Edward F. Gal lagher said inspection by 13th naval district officers revealed the lower No. 3 hold which sailors branded a "refrigerator" had a temperature of 65 de grees, although it was unheated. He said the ship had 1600 blankets two for each of the 800 passengers originally order ed aboard but the army cots had no pillows. The officer declared the ship was pressed into service as a choice between uncomfortable travel or no travel at all, but that the 300 men crossed off the U.S.S. Procyon sailing list would be sent home by November 24. He reported 30 of the veterans were missing, but believed they would report at separation cen ters near their homes. The ship was held at its berth here until shortly after noon yesterday by river fog but was expected in San Francisco in 72 hours, the navy officer reported.
