- - - - I ----- I Diary T of a Bird Watcher i i i Saturday, Jan. 11. I took a half hour drive up on Cherry Lane to see a Say's phoebe which J. H. had phoned me was up there. On the way up I saw a flock of nine cock pheasants, all in one bunch. Not far away was a flock of eight hens. Smart birds these cocks! You wouldn't find them nearby and con spicious like that if it was hunting season. I found the Say's phoebe, too. An insectivorous bird that catches insects in the air, we hardly expect to see it in the winter. But we do. In fact as I came home via Barnett Road I saw another. Sunday, Jan. 12. Since I couldn't take my usual Monday morning birding trip I went out for a while this afternoon. I went along Foothill Road and Antelope Road. One place I saw little pussy willows are beginning to come out. I saw a bur rowing owl on a post by the Camp White ruins on Antelope Road. It bowed at me in a most comical manner. As I came home along the old Crater Lake highway there was a little shower and some sunshine. This made a partial rainbow in the east. As I drove along the road the end of it kept moving along the edge of the foothills. I thought of the pots of gold the people along there must be finding. Anyhow, had the treasures of beauty in the world around me. CENTRAL POINT Students Win Contest Monday. Jan. 13. I drove to Portland where I went for a committee meeting and to take my mother-in-law home. We didn't have much sunshine but still the day was generally pleasant. As we approached Portland, Mt. Hood stood out in . perfect whiteness under the high clouds. I don't think I've . ever seen it any whiter. Nearly all the rocks were covered un der the deep snow. I remember a saying of Portlanders that if you can see Mt. Hood it is a sign it is going to rain. If you can't see it that is a sign it is raining. This is pretty apt to be . true, especially in the winter season. Tuesday, Jan. 14. It was raining this morning, as if to confirm the saying about Mt. Hood. It wasn't a wet rain, though, just gentle sprinkles, at least in the morning. Before going down town I stopped at Westmoreland Park and East moreland golf course to look at the ducks and gulls. It is one of the best places in the west to observe these birds because they become so tame you can get close to them. Among the several hundred American widgeons that feed on the lawns there I picked out two European widgeons, quite striking with .their reddish heads. I also identified four different kinds of gulls. One place they were all sitting on the grass facing south into the wind so that it didn't ruffle their feathers. It was easy there to see the color of their legs, the shape of their bills and the shade of their wings, which are the things you need to see to identify gulls. Later in the day I drove home and it was raining nearly all the way, sometimes heavily. There seems to have been plenty of moisture because sometimes there were lakes, in places where lakes are not supposed to be. Wednesday. Jan. 15. I got back to feeding the home birds that my wife had to take care of while I was gone. Seventy or more wait around in the nearby bushes for my feeding time which is usually between 4 and 5 o'clock. The golden crowned sparrows and white crowned sparrows usually sing for their supper. I am well rewarded for my trouble by all the birds which are both good to look at and to hear. The only ones I don't care for are the English sparrows. This prejudice has nothing to do with their foreign origin. I just don't like them.

Savings Bond Sales Increase in County Saving bond sales in Jack son county last month ex ceeded the 1956 sales by more than S20,000, according to George Mimnaugh, state director of saving bond sales. It was the third consecu tive month that savings bond sales in Jackson county have exceeded the amount sold in 1956. County residents last month purchased 862,820 worth of bonds, compared to S46,459 worth in December, 1956, Mimnaugh said. Total sales through Dec. 31 were less than the amount sold in 1956, he noted. Last year, $975,746 worth of bonds were bought by Jackson coun ty residents, compared to $1, 157,770, during 1956. State sales during Decem ber amounted to 82,647,187, an increase of 14.4 per cent over 1956, he said. Many bonds purchased last month, he indicated, was purchased as gifts. Dietrich, 111.

I rushed madly to the door to get another look at it and was lucky. Just then it turned so that I could see its markings clearly. It was an immature bird with prominent white patches on the wing. We see golden eagles occasionally around Roxy Ann and elsewhere in the valley; but this was the first time I had ever seen one from the home place. They are majestic creatures and always a thrill to see. Their num bers are said to have diminished greatly in recent years. I hope they may be preserved and protected. Friday, Jan. 17. The fog cleared away around noon. In the early afternoon I looked at the dewdrops on the lawn. They were sparkling in the sun. Some were blue, some yellow and some almost orange. Their glory is transient but while it lasts it is like the beauty of gems for which people spend much money. T.M. What Is The Law? This column is prepared as a public service by the College of Law. Willamette University, Salem, to explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal advice.

Their rent had been paid and they re fused to get out. The landlord and his wife moved into the small living room of the r leased home and remained there "interfering with ten i ants' home life and offending tenants' sensibilities" for a period of 17 days. The landlord had to pay damages for this invasion of the tenants' right of privacy, for the courts feel that the in -dividual should be protected from unauthorized invasion of his private affairs. The courts also feel that the individual should be let alone in the conduct of his personal business. Such was not the case when a business man put a placard in his store window stating that "Dr. M. (who later complained) owes an account here of $49.67 and if promises would pay an account, this account would have been settled long ago." In another situation a 10-year-old girl's picture was taken as she lay in the street after having been struck by an automobile. Almost two years later a magazine pub lished the picture to illustrate an article on the negligence of children entitled "They Ask To Be Killed." This, too, was an unwarranted invasion of her privacy. A movie company circulat ed a letter that appeared to have been signed by a lady, designated as Miss K. In ad advertising a movie, the let ter cast doubt on Miss K's moral character. The court said her right of privacy had been invaded. Implied Consent and the Public Interest A person can, of course, give his consent by implica tion, if not expressly, to be photographed and the photo graph later used. If a man at tends a baseball game and sits in the stands he certain ly could not rightfully com plain when a picture of the crowd, including him, is tak en and later published. Many events are newsworthy in their nature and such news value often overrides the ten der feelings of the individual. This is especially true where public figures such as politi cians, explorers and athletes are involved. However, the right of pri vacy, of being left alone, is a very real right: and in most states, if that right is violat ed without cause, it may be vindicated by civil action. The Busy Bees Sewing club met at Vi's Yardage Shoppe Tuesday, Jan. 14. Mrs. D. E. Burelson, leader of the club, demonstrated the operation of the sewing machine. Chery Cavin was a guest.
