UR) Mr. and Mrs. Jack Yost probably dSn't bargain for the answers they received to a different type of "in-ation they sent out for their 40th wedding anniversary party.

The RSVP's they got back in an assortment of languages in cluding Lebanese, Hawaiian, Chi nese, French, Spanish, Norweg ian and Korean. One was writ ten In German on a handker t i CELEBRATION IS IN ORDER q Count, wins grand champion western Livestock bhow, m I' it TRIBUNE chief. Another was in Japanese, translated into German. One answer came on a phy sician's prescription blank. The reply that caused the greatest puzzle was merely the letters of the English alphabet without "N" and "O". Finally the Yosts deciphered it.

That's the advice of Dr. James Wadsworth, animal pathologist at the Vermont Extension Serv ice. Dr. Wadsworth said bulls are the most savage, unpredictable domestic animals in America. Although accident statistics do not record attacks by wild an imals, he said bulls are respon sible for nearly eight times as many fatalities among farmers as firearms. Because bulls are unpredict able, even the tamest may turn on his owner without provoca tion. Their disposition gets worse with age. . His advice is to stay near the fence while crossing a pasture. If in a field with a bull, don't run unless he starts after you. "Many have climbed a tree," he said. "That's good too." He noted that once a bull has treed its quarry, it will usually quiet down and depart. UN May Be Asked To Enter Egypt Dispute Jerusalem U.R) A reliable Israeli source today said Maj Gen.
