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. '

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.
