It was a mute tribute to th 75 men. women and children who died in rioting against Po land s Stalinist leaders riotin? which led in time to rebellion in Hungary. Return of Leader Riots in this West Poland in dustrial city touched off a train of events which saw the return to power of Communist leader Wladyslaw Gomulka and the freeing from prison of Stefan Cardinal Wyszynsky. There were reports, but no confirmation, that the Catholic primate himself might lead the procession or take part in the religious rites at the Church of St. Vojczck, several miles from the heart of the city. The streets were decked with flags and garlands for today s religious ceremonies led by the members of the Catholic hier archy in the silent parade from St. Oominicus church, near the town hall gt St. Vojczek. Pmei Red Square The route of the procession leads past Red Army Square where the rebellion started. Today was not a public holi day in Poznan, but workers were given permission to attend both the state and church cere monies this morning. Few were expected to return to work in the aftrrnoon. Polish authorities banned the Hale of liquor in hopes of pre venting outbreaks of trouble Nightclubs and '"inappropriate ' movies also were closed. Friday.

Highway Commission Pushing Survey Work Along Coast Route bay immediately south of the Cape Argo lighthouse reserva tion on the coast. The state would pay $7931 for the land and timber. Is That So? One of Miller's Convictions Dropped Washington 'W A federal judge today reaffirmed one of his contempt of Congress find ings against Playwright Arthur Miller, but set aside a second count. Miller had been convicted by Judge Charles F. McLaughlin May 31 on two counts. Today McLaughlin set aside the guilty verdict on the second count on the basis of a recent Supreme Court ruling in a simi lar cae. Miller has not yet been sen tenced. But affirmation of one of the two findings still makes him sub ject to a maximum penalty of $1,000 fine and one year in jail.

First from the Greek, skiouros, "shadow tail," from skia meaning shadow and oura meaning tail. And since about a third of every squirrel is tail the description tail seems like a smart choice for a name. The spider takes his name from spinning; in the word lady bug, the lady part refers to the Virgin Mary; and flea is akin to the word flee meaning to run away a lively creature. Named for Place of Origin Regarding horses, many breeds are named for thir place of origin. The Percheron, a draft horse, comes from La Perche, France; the Shetland pony from the Shetland islands off the coast of Scotland. The word stal lion apparently went through the old French word estalon to the old High German word stall, from which we got our stable-term- stall, and that of course Because the raccoon is almost llele tlie stauion is Kept. ine word oronco comes irom ,-iJ-5 -SB through the Algonquian Indians, the most populous and wide spread occupying the vast area stretching from North Carolina to Hudson's bay and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. The Algonquian name for opossum was apasum or "white beast.'' 20 acres of land just east of the Coast highway. An offer by Ma rion county to donate one mile of river frontage downstream from and adjoining Champoeg state park also was accepted. The commisison authorized purchase from the Bureau of Land Management about 22 acres of land adjoining Sunset Porter in Colombia For First-Hand Look At New Government meaning "he scratches with his his hands." By a succession of change, arathcone became rac coon. The carabou was called khali bu by the Algonquians meaning "pawer" or "scratcher." With-the name "moose"' the Indians picked out another char acteristic for their word moose meant "he strips off bark." Ap parently a hungry moose not only eats the twigs of trees but when he is hungry at a time when the Indians could see him up close he also rips the bark off trees to eat as a last resort. As for the word antler, the Germans called the antler an Augensprosse, or "eye-sprout. the Mexican frontier. It is a Spanish word meaning rough or crude, so bronco-busting means the breaking and training of a mustang (which in turn means "wild'' in Spanish.) But let's wind this up and with that strange animal the platypus. This comes from' two Greek words, platys meaning flat; and pous, meaning foot. So, the animal comes out a "flat foot." While we're on this one, there is octopus. Again from the Greek. Okto means eight; and pous means foot and so we have the "light-footed animal, the octopus.
