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.

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."

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.

Summer Heat Brings
Open Window War
Oklahoma City (U.R) The
window war is on again at the
city hall.
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.
