(International) Billy Graham Sees Crusade as Last Call Before End of World Whooping Cranes' Hesf Being Watched New Orleans Itf) Ex perts watched today for the hatching of a second rare whoop ing crane in a captive nest that represents possibly the only hope of preventing extinction of the species. Josephine and Crip, the only pair of whooping cranes in cap tivity, hatched the first of their two eggs early Sunday. That chick raised the whooping crane population to 30. There 'is one other whooping crane in cap tivity. Dr. Gorge Douglass, superin tendent of Audubon Zoo, per mitted scientists, newsmen and bird lovers to watch the nest only from a high-powered tele scope on top of a nearby build ing. This is the third time Jose phine and Crip have hatched offspring. Two eggs which made headlines in 1955 were crushed and last year ' and owl carried off one chick, and another died of disease. this time by fire," the revivalist said.

"I have not only God's word for it that the end of the world is in sight," he said, "but I also have the word of the scientists. "The Iron Curtain countries are arming to .the teeth and we in the West are arming to the teeth, and we are told that in a flash in a moment it is pos sible to destroy New York with the push of a button." Overflow Crowd Graham addressed an overflow crowd of 19,000, the lareest yet in New York, in the fifth night of his crusade. The 38-year-old evangelist said the crusade in New York was "the biggest and most important mission of my life." At the close of his sermon 931 persons came forward to make "decisions for Christ." Graham said that the Apostle Peter "points back to the de struction of, the flood and says there was a time in history when God destroyed the entire human race except for eight people." "He indicates that as God de stroyed the world and most of the human race once because of that at the scriptures until the first atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima. "Now it is the scientists who are predicting the end of the world," Graham said. In the first five nights of Gra ham's crusade here 3,757 per sons have made "decisions for Christ." woFwslYoWsi Here is an up-to-date definition of wood that any member of good standing in the Forest Products Research Society might rattle off on a TV quiz show. How does it jibe with your own particular definition of the wood of the crop that is growing on your tree farm, or of the wood that is in use in your house? "Wood is a skeleton of poly saccharide based fibers in which glucosan predominates, embedd- who are to hold their 11th An nual Meeting at Buffalo, June 23-28 have made Paul Bunyan their patron saint. The gala event at Buffalo will be a "Paul Bunyan Smorgasbord Supper" on June 26, followed by an old time tour of Niagara Falls.

Shop Talk After all, such language is no more mystifying than much of the testimony that has come forth on television from U.S. Senate investigations. And it docs represent the studies and in ventions that are serving to con vert the one-time leftovers of logging and lumber manufacture into commerical products that timber payrolls. The able men of the Forest Products Research Society wood. This is the famous factory of the Rudolph Wurtlitzer com pany of North Tonawanda. The Old Sawmill Traditional lumber holds its own, however, even in the sem inars of the most advanced scientists in the forest industry. Sessions on logging, lumber man ufacture, wood machining, wood finishing, wood drying, wood preservation, and quality con trol in woodwork, are on the dis cussion programs. And even when the chemists take up the business of "Separa tion and Properties of Hemi cellulose and Hyrogenated Lign in," it is because these processes hold promise for new ways to utilize plain old sawmill saw dust. In short, when the forest pro ducts researchers gather to show and demonstrate their new dis coveries and inventions for mak ing the most of forest raw ma terial, lumber, oldest product of them all, will remain the heart and center of the proceedings. And the spirit of the lumberman Washington Oil The Nation al Geographic society has come out with a confidenital expose on the bedroom habits of frogs. The hush-hush facts turned out to be far worse than many frog haters believed. The usually staid Geographic society apparently felt com pelled to disclose the wanton truth because of the csfvorting of a crowd of suburban Wash ington frogs in Brentwood, Md. Eighty - three - year - old Mrs. Mary Harman complained sev ieral weeks ago to Brentwood Mayor William H. Smith that the frogs in a neighbor's pond were "disorderly and carrying on every night until midnight. L j. lie mayor cieany. a roman tic said he liked frogs. However, the Geographic so ciety made clear in its expose that Mrs. Harman had some thing, to complain about. It said each species of boy frog uses a distinctive mating call during the springtime to at tract the girl frogs of the same species It noted that frogs are very particular about what spe cies they date. ; "Some calls resemble the sounds of quacking ducks, bark ing dogs, bleating goats, whoop ing Indians or a regiment of men beating tin pans," it said. Of course, the society said, this goes on until the boys and girls get together. But that's not all. t ;. The society said night-prowling researchers armed with tape recorders have reported four other types of frog noises be sides the mating call. It de scribed them as the "warning chirp, warning vibration, fright scream and rain song." "The last is a singing-in-the-showee type of thing apparent ly just for fun," it said. The society said that spooning frogs have been accused of lots of things, including keeping a Missouri farmer's hogs slim. "Every time that blamed bull frog, gives out with a bellow the pigs' think it's someone calling them to eat," the farmer said. "They're running all the fat off their bones answering his call." On the other hand, the society said, many people agree with Mayor" Smith. If you've always thought fof bourbon "too strong" as ...fry the tighter, milder 86 proof Old Crow!
