Mail Card Return Urged by Chairman QUEEN'S UNCLE DIES London (U.R) The Earl of Athlone, a great-uncle of Queen Elizabeth II, died in his London home today at the age of 82. A plea to Jackson county resi dents to return March of Dimes cards with contributions was voiced today by Dick Knight, Medford chairman of the polio 'fund campaign. The cards were mailed shortly after Jan. 2. '"The job of fighting polio is not yet over," Knight said. "We can only accomplish the tasks remaining to us if we raise suf ficient funds. We are a'sking everyone to send in his contri bution now." The goal of the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly sis, whose research led to the discovery of the Salk anti-polio vaccine, is $46,900,000. The March of Dimes has ear marked $10,000,000 to supply vaccine to those unable to pay for it. Knight pointed out that there are 64.000,000 Americans in the polio -susceptible age range (up to 40) who have not yet been inoculated. The balance of the funds is needed for the care of 80,000 polio victims, research and pub lic education.

Did you know that . . . the domestic honeybee was brought to America from Europe by 17th century colonists and many wild honeybees now found in the U.S. are descendants of early imports. The Chinook salmon, or kinj, may attain a weight of 125 pounds. The flying fox, largest of bats, with a wingspread of five feet, feeds mostly on fruits. This Asian bat supplements its diet .with small fish, catching them v.th its feet while hovering over the water. In general, squirrels go up trees at a gallop, the fore and hind feet being used in pain alternately. Coming down, they travel head first and are much more careful as tney move, i -tting their feet individually. The common European crick et, made -famous by Dicken s Christmas tale. The Cricket on the Hearth, has immigrated to America. They are often found in apartment buildings in larger cities where long into winter months they will regale inhabi tants with their song. When it confines itself to singing, well and good but alas, it has the ugly habit of chewing holes into its host's clothes. The sea lamprey, which at taches itself to other fish with a sucker-like mouth, is among the most primitive of fish. Al though called a sea lamprey, it can remain in fresh water all its life as has happened, un fortunately, with the descend ants of those that found their way through the Walland Canal into the Great Lakes and have now practically wiped out the lake trout and the white fish from some of the lakes. Bats are the only mammals that have real wings and are capable of true flight. Tails Tangled On occasion, gray squirrels have been known to tangle their tails. Unable to separate them and escape, the animals may starve to death. Such an unusual occurrence happened at the New York Zoological Park in Decem ber, 1951. The keeper discovered seven of them huddled together with their bodies extended in all directions but bound togeth er by their entangled tails. So twisted and interwoven was the hair on the tails that it had to be cut away in order to free the animals. All were adult; two females were dead and another soon died; four recovered and were released. Black widow spiders are not nearly as dangerous as they are cracked up to be. As a rule they are too small to Inject enough poison into a person to make him seriously ill providing he is healthy to begin with. The name, originally applied to the female, refers to her practice of eating the male although the young also devour one another. However, these habits are shar ed by most other . spiders. If bitten, try to make the wound bleed as much as possible. Located All Over World The famous rainbow trout, a landlocked steelhead really orig inally occurred only on the West Coast of the U.S., from south ern California to southeastern Alaska. Thanks to the shipa bility of the eggs keep them cold and moist and free from jarring and they will stay alive for many weeks, developing slowly this gamy fish is now located all over the world and is at present found throughout the northern U.S. and Canada, in Europe, including the British Isles, Argentina, Chile, Vene zuela, South Africa, East-Africa, Br EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Madascar Mauritius, India, Cey lon, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Hawaii and Panama.

"If anyone be killed, let it be me," King said in a emotion charged prayer. About 500 Negroes attending the rally acclaimed King's lead ership with a deafening outburst of shouting and weaping that lasted 15 minutes. King said segregationist ex tremists would have to dyna mite 50,000 homes not just two to dissuade them from their cause. rruii u Annual iruwer s League eeting II JANUARY 18 1:30 p.m. BUILDING ALL MEMBERS ARE URGED TO ATTEIVD FRUIT GROWERS LEAGUE OF JACKSON COUNTY, Ine. 1TI The Chieftain costs less than a lot of the "low-priced" cars yet delivers more power-more wheelbase-more room, Think this big, brawny beauty would fetch a fancy figure?
