Gun Club Sets
Sunday Shooting
Medford Gun club's skeet
grounds will be ready for use on
Sunday, November 7, but the
organization's annual skeet
tournament will not be held on
that date.
There will be skeet and 16
yard practice at the club on Sun
day, however, along with com
petition in the Ed Pease handi
cap. Delay in getting the skeet
grounds ready and the resulting
lack of practice in that type of
shooting are reasons for post
ponement of the tournament
which had been set for this week
end. The tournament is now
planned for some time in De
cember. First of the fall turkey shoots
will be held at the club on No
vember 14.

the pulsing and movement of
our bodies.
4. Much of my waking life is
spent on the wing. Our flight
is a miracle: like no other bird
we can fly forward and back
ward; sideways, up and down,
besides hovering in one spot.
Our wing beat is stupendously
fast up to .75 complete beats a
second in forward flight, or
should I say darting? I go 100
feet in a second! We migrate,
males leaving a month or so be
fore females, going thousands
of miles, perhaps.
5. Because of the prodigious
energy expended, I can eat over
twice my own weight in concen
trated food in one day. My diet
is nectar, mostly, and insects.
From the latter I extract what
nourishment exists, and then
make minute pellets of the in
digestible parts and regurgitate
them.
6. My exquisite teaspoon-size
nest is made of fine fibers, lined
with thistle-down, and camou
flaged with bits of live lichen,
moss and bits of bark bound with
silk from the spider's web. In it,
the female lays two -white one-half-inch
long eggs. But then,
did I say I may be only 2V2 in
ches long while my nest is only
IVi inches across?
7. Father is quite a courts
man! Some males make aerial
U-shaped dances that is, with
the female at the bottom of the
U he flies up one side and down
the other, hundreds of times.
Other males fly sideways, back
and forth, keeping their eye on
the female. If another male in
trudes, a fight's to pay and it
may last hours, during whicH
they use their needle-sharp
beaks. Upon one occasion, a
friend of mine found two birds
locked in death the sharp bill
of one had pierced the breast of
the other.
8. Mother alone broods for 15
days, until the eggs hatch, and
rather than forsake the nest will
allow a person to stroke her
head gently. Father helps with
the feeding. It consists of a crop
ful of mixed nectar and partly
digested insects squirted into the
young 'uns' gaping mouths at
20-minute feeding intervals. In
three weeks the young can fly.
Ugly Tempers
9. Frankly, we have ugly tem
pers and in our fury rout crows
and hawks. Our enemies are
spider's webs, in which we may
become entangled; predatory
birds and animals; and an oc
casional large dragonfly may
seize me by the neck and kill
me. Because of man's lust for
my jeweled feathers, in one year
400,000 of our skins were ship
ped from the West Indies to one
London dealer.
10. Many humans, however,
are friendly to us and I'll cozy
iip gratefully if you'll put a
small bottle wrapped with bright
cloth I take a shine to red
and fill it with sugar-water, two
parts of water to one of sugar,
and hang it among the blossoms
of a vine. My name? I get it
from being the smallest bird in
the world and making a musical
ly humming noise with my rapidly-vibrating
wings. I do not have
a true song, but I do squeak
and twitter.
Answer: I am a Humming
Bird.

Athletics Buyer
Eyes AL Session
Philadelphia (U.R) The rud
derless Philadelphia Athletics,
sold to Chicago industrialist
l Arnold Johnson, veered toward
I an American League meeting in
New York next Monday for an
expected shift to Kansas City.
There was nothing in the wind
to indicate the eight club owners
would not approve transfer of
the A's and leave behind a heart
sick Connie Mack and his two
equally shaken sons, Roy and
Earle.
A 54-year-old institution died
Thursday when the Athletics,
founded by the 92-year r old
"grand old man"; of baseball,
were sold to Johnson and three
associates for $3,350,000. The
sale ended a stormy confused
final three months for the club,
which saw a Philadelphia syndi
cate 'thwarted twice in its ef
forts to save the A's for this city.
Johnson plans to move the
team to Kansas City but appar
enlly must get an okay from
club owners at the New York
session, called by league Presi
dent Will Harridge.

something a whole new age of low-cost motoring
by taking a whole new look at the low-cost car.
Here are new ideas, young ideas . and some of
tomorrow's ideas, too! And they're all rolled up in
the most glamorous package that ever wore any
thing like a Chevrolet price tag!
This is the car that began with a great
idea the idea that a low-priced car
could be built that would have the
style, the performance, the comfort and
convenience features, and the fine
quality "feel" of high-priced care.
Lots of car buyers have wished for such
a car. Lots of automotive engineers
have dreamed about it. But there were :
Slenty of reasons why it couldn't be
one.
Then Chevrolet and General Motors
designed and built a car to fit the
dream the Moloramic Chevrolet!
Come in and see how the Motoramic
Chevrolet for '55 is far more than a
completely new car. It's a whole new
idea about cars!
