squirt a deadly poison a distaste
of 12 feet and which devours
rats and mice. It is being studied
by zoologists of the University
of California. The amphibian is
known as the Colorado River
toad because it is native to the
Colorado basin in Arizona and
California. ' It is being put
through its paces in a laboratory
aquarium so that more can be
learned of its little-known habits.
The toad grows to a length of
nearly a foot, when fully out

of South America is larger.

Bush of Medford spoke on birds
at the last meeting of Butte Falls
Garden club, hold at the home of
Mrs. N. B. Stoddard.
Mrs. Bush displayed oriole
and humming bird nests, which
are unique and difficult to find.
Feeding the birds in the winter

hemp, millet or sunflower seeds,
nut meats, currants or any
craps from the table are attrac
tive to birds, Mrs. Bush said.
Hawthorne trees, holly, and
michaelmas daisies grown in
gardens furnish interesting meals
for feathered friends, she said.

illustrations making identifaca
tion easier.

number and variety. Last year.
92 countries held celebrations
and the number was expected to
be greater this year.
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold, who will be host to
the General Assembly hall to
night, said in a U.N. day mes
sage: "We are all aware of the great
problems which are reflected in
