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.

the recent summer market.
Only one manufacturer re
ported any reduction in price
since January. Delmar R. Kroeh

Circular Tells How
To Use, Grow Herbs
Use of garden-grown herbs to
pep up salads, soups and gravies
is suggested in a new Oregon
State college publication. .
Add zest to everyday foods by
using herbs for variety and ac-'
cent, but be careful not to over
season, OSC nutritionists ad
vise. The trick with all herbs
and seasonings is to use them
sparingly so they don't over
power food flavors, they ex
plain.
Seventeen common herbs are
suggested as seasonings in the
circular. Tips for starting herb
gardens, storage information
and recipes are also included.
The new circular, "Herbs and
Other Seasonings for Variety
and Accent, is available on re
quest from county extension
agents or the OSC bulletin
clerk.
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." Copies are available
from county extension offices
or the OSC bulletin clerk.
Driver Hospitalized
After Car Hits Tree
Eugene H. Dyrhaug, 22, St.
Paul, Minn., was taken by Med
ford Ambulance service to Sa
cred Heart hospital Monday eve
ning after his car struck a tree
in Dquglas county 13 miles
north of the Diamond Lake junc
tion on Highway 230.
State police said Dyrhaug was
traveling north at a high rate
of speed, when he apparently
fell asleep. Officers said the
right wheels of the car moved
to the shoulder of the highway
and continued on the shoulder
for 238 feet. The car suddenly
veered to the right, went off
the east shoulder of the high
way and struck a sugar pine
tree about nine feet from the
highway.
Dyrhaug sustained multiple
injuries, including a fractured
hand, dislocated hip, chest in
juries and lacerations. He is re
ported in "fairly good" condi
tion at the hospital.
He was alone in the car when
the accident occurred about
6:55 p.m.
