TOTS -TO TEEMS Encouraging Sign Of Whooping Crane Nests Reported Washington fll.R) A TicVi and Wildlife Service sripntist said Tuesday he has discovered encouraging signs but no posi tive prooi that Great Slave lake in Northern Canada is the long-sought nestine ground of the wrooping crane. The crane. North Amprir-a's largest and rarest bird, is almost extinct, and wildlife authorities nave been searching for years to find where it breeds. Unless the breeding grounds are found soon and protected, the bird may die out completely. Local Man Finds Nest Robert H. Smith, Medford, Ore., and Everett L. Sutton, Aberdeen. S.D.. sighted two of the rare birds July 11 and 12 along the shore of Great Slave lake while on an aerial trip across Canada. The cranes are rarely seen away from the Ar kansas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas where they winter. , Smith said the discoverv was "encouraging" but "doesn't real ly prove anything." First renorts from (Canada said flatly that Smith and Sutton had discovered the long-sought breed ing, areas. Smith, the son of Mrs. R. P. Smith, 79 Janney lane, is a Fish and Wildlife Service biologist permanently stationed in Med ford. He was transferred to this area from the Mississippi flyway and moved to Medford from Klamath Falls about a year ago, Smith, who has been associat ed with the Fish and Wildlife Service since 1936, travels each year from Central America to the Arctic circle conducting var ious types of research. He con ducts a "duck inventory" each year for the service and this summer has investigated fly ways in Canada in addition to finding the apparent nesting place of the whooping crane. An article on Smith's activi ties with the Fish and Wildlife service will appear in the Octo ber issue of Field and Stream magazine, according to friends here.

(International) Courtesy, Friendliness Rate High for Teen-Agers Oregon Stale Fair To Have Television Salem -(U.R Visitors at Ore gon State fair this year will see television produced and shown at the fairgrounds. Fair officials said Tuesday that a TV display will be han dled by station KEX of Portland. Two television cameras will be used to produce real shows near the floral exhibits at the fair and then will be transmitted over television sets on the porch of the agricultural building. Transmission will be by clos ed circuit. State College, Pa. (U.R) Courtesy, friendliness- and a j sense of humor are rated higher j in teen-age dating than either good looks or a good line, ac cording to a survey made at Pennsylvania State College. The fact that glamour factors are not all-important was one of several conclusions reached in a master's thesis submitted by Phoebe Forrest. Miss Forrest did her research under the direction of Dr. William M. Smith, Jr., professor of family relations. Among the 135 high school juniors surveyed by Miss For rest, about half discussed their dating problems with their mothers, while fewer than three per cent carried their troubles to their fathers. The figures also showed that teen-agers are more apt to quarrel with their moth ers than with their fathers. . Although most of the young people wanted their parents to approve of the person they were dating, almost 75 per cent indi cated a parental lack of interest in their problems. The girls said that they re ceived most of their ideas on how to get a date from current magazines, while the boys list ed as their chief source "bull ses sions" with classmates. ' " The starting-age for dating is earlier for boys than for girls, according to the thesis. Most girls start when they are 14. The boys claim, however, that they themselves stop dating by the time they are juniors in high school. ' . Long-Missing 'Peking Man' Sought by Archeologist Tokyo U.R) Dr. J. J. Mar- key, an American archaeological investigator, has arrived here to search for the long-missing "Pe king Man." The Chinese Communists have accused the United States of stealing the 500,000 -year -old bones which disappeared from China on the eve of World War II, but Markey is convinced they are still somewhere in the Ori ent. - One story Is that the bones have been lost forever at the bot tom of the Yellow sea. The bits of bone, dug up in a cave outside Peking during the 1920s, were the earliest known evidence that a species of hu man beings walked erect in Asia some 500,000 years ago. Actu ally, they were the remains of several creatures, not just one. Sent To Seaport The fossils were being studied at the Peking Union medical col lege in December, 1941, when word came that the city would soon be' occupied by Japanese troops. Scientists packed the bones into three large wooden cases and shipped them under guard of U. S. Marines "of -the legation guard to the port of Chinwang tao, to be taken to a place of safety aboard ship. That's the last time they were seen. Some reports say the crates disappeared from the train dur ing the confusion and some say they fell from a lighter into the sea while being trans-shipped. The most logical story would seem to be that Japanese troops took the bones when they cap tured the train and the Marines. Ordinary soldiers would hardly be expected to know the value of some old bones found packed in unmarked crates and it seems possible that the fossils were scat tered about and lost forever. Markey, however, thinks they might have been brought to J Japan, unofficially and clandes tinely. The investigator, a former newspaperman, said that while in Tangiers last year he met several persons who were in Shanghai, Peking and Chinwang tao during that fateful Decem ber. "They gave me the names of men now living in Tokyo, Hong kong, Manila, Singapore and Cal cutta," he said. "We will run down every lead." The information now at our disposal convinces me that the remains are in the Orient and that they are being held by peo ple who do not know how to ap proach us directly and still reap a reward. ' . . Markey said he is offering $1,000 for a tip that will lead directly to the missing relics, "with no questions asked." BIRTHS GUSCHES To Mr. and Mrs?

Get j DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK! 3 ffT ' Miss Forrest said the reason was that the boys have a much narrower idea of what, a date means. The boys do not accept the girls' premise that even a casual downtown meeting and consequent walk home can be termed a date. As a result, the totals for the girls show a high er number of dates than for the boys. Although about 25 per cent of the high school students inter viewed were "going steady," most of them were not taking their dating too seriously. Among the chief pastimes listed were movies, car riding, and dancing. , The matrimonial ambitions of the girls differed materially from the boys. Most of the girls expressed a desire to be married by the time they were 21, but the boys did not want to be fet tered until they were at least 24 or 25. Incidentally, 80 per cent of both groups did not think that the dating they were doing at the time of the survey was part of a successful courtship for marriage. The desire for. more indepen dence on the part of thejboys was reflected in the freedom they were granted by their par ents in date curfews. "Only 27 per cent of the boys were under any time limit imposed by their own parents, while 71 per cent of the girls had a definite home coming time established. Miss Forrest came to the con clusion that the high number of boys not dating meant that too many were missing an import ant experience for all teen-agers. The responsibility, she felt, rests with the schools and with the home.

The building superintendent, Frank Ramseyer, is leading the summer-long skirmish in defense of his air-conditioning system. Since the first warm days of spring Ramseyer's janitors, boil er tenders and other employees have been serving on part-time window watching patrol outside the building.- When they spot an open one, they go inside, invade the office involved and slam it shut, with a stern lecture to the office holder involved. Ramseyer contends that if everyone keeps his windows closed and gives his air-conditioning system a fair chance, all in the building will be cooler as a result. -ILEOMS-.
