TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, August 28, 19S8 omend Bird Coloring Project Topic Of Butte Falls Garden Club Butte Fall Mrs. N. B. Stod dard presented a program on con servation and bird lore at the last meeting of Butte Falls Gar den club, held at the home of Mrs. Clay Conley. Mrs. Frank Carson, president, conducted a business meeting which followed a tour of several interesting gardens in the community. Mrs. Stoddard read the conser vation pledge: "I give my pledge as an American to save and faith fully to defend from waste the natural resources of my country; its soiland minerals, its forests, waters and wildlife." She said that parents and teachers play an important part in training the young to help 'Keep Oregon Green." Mrs. Goddard also read an in teresting article entitled "Ever See a Purple Goose?" Inhabi tants of the Pacific Northwest, provinces in Canada and even up through Alaska and the Arc tic circle reported strange phe nomena in the skies last spring. Red-faced individuals circum spectly told authorities how their "brother-in-law" or their "cous in" had seen a purple snow goose flying north adding of course that they themselves didn't take any stock in the story. The authorities reassured them their "cousin hadn't been see ing things." Colored geese were no hallucination, but the result of a project being conducted by the California Department of Fish and Game in cooperation with the United States Fish and Wildlife service. Geese Colored Until two years ago, standard procedure for migration study of birds was banding. However, the results left much to be desired, so someone hit on the idea of coloring the geese as an experi ment. The advantage is that col ored geese can be spotted in flight, while a banded goose is not reported until he becomes the victim of a hunter and there the goose's story ends. Dyeing the snow goose began at Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge in the spring of 1955, after careful experimentation to make sure the dyes were harm less, bright and lasting. Only 83 geese were colored last year, but observers' reports were so satis factory that 435 of the birds were dunked In the dye last spring. And reports have come in from everywhere 10 times as many as in 1955. According to Frank M. Kozlik, director of the project, colored geese have already been seen in Alaska and along the Arctic Coast. He says, "Last year the Eskimos were pretty startled to see the pink and yellow geese, but they seem to be taking it in their stride now. Studies Aided Now Kozlik is hoping for re ports from Siberia, where the geese are known to have breed ing grounds, too. The principal aim of migration study is to dis cover what makes for a good breeding ground, the climate and foliage, etc. Such knowledge is important for the conservation of the bird. The method of dyeing the geese is to dip their wings and tail feathers in the color. As the birds preen themselves, the color quickly spreads over the rest of their feathers. The geese are kept overnight in a warm shed before being released, completely dry. A guest for the day was Mrs. Mary Boerner of Pasadena who is visiting at the home of Elmer Leatherman.

Multi-Lingual Translators Aid Business Deals By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York U.R) A diminu tive brunette has made it her business to help men understand each other. While women have been win ning equal rights in this modern world, men have entangled them selves in more and more business deals and professional confer ences with other nations. Into the confusion of a three nation business deal stepped a woman named Jackueline Man rique. If men were going to add the confusion of foreign langu ages to the competition of big business, Mrs. Manrique rea soned they could use help. Now, for the first time, the men can sit down at these multi lingual conference tables wear ing ear phones, just like those worn by United National dele gates. While the representative of a Brazilian company explains his proposition in Portuguese, the executive from Ohio gets simultaneous translation in his ear phones in English. Mrs. Manrique provides the earphones and the translators. You can't stump her on any lan quage from Hindustani to Esper anto. She only speaks six lan guages herself, she hastens to tell you in an apologetic tone, and does not have the rare, highly-developed skill of a simul taneous interpreter. But her staff of 10 and her file of "free-lance" linguists provide every known tongue. . Eight months ago Mrs. Man rique, daughter of a Belgian mother and a Dutch father and wife of a Spanish psychiatrist, opened the International Visitors Center, Inc., in a Fifth Avenue office building. "I had been working on my own to help foreign visitors be fore that time." she explained. "I let the consulates and the New York City Convention and Visi tors' bureau know about my serv ice, and it grew into such size that I decided to open the office."

Salad Suggestions Found in Circular Salads make "the difference" in serving meals that are attrac tive, appetizing and well-balanced, according to a new cir cular from Oregon State college. Vary the type of salads you serve and their dressings, sug gests Agnes Kolshorn, OSC ex tension nutritionist and author of the bulletin. Try new combi nations in fruits and vegetables or dress up favorite salads with new toppings. For instance, try adding chili sauce to French dressing for a tomato flavor. Recipe combinations using canned, frozen and fresh fruits and vegetables are offered in the circular, "Salads Make the Dif ference."
