i J. H. called to say he had seen TownsencPs warblers along
with Wilson's up on Roxy Anne. I would have gone up- to
look for them because Townsend's are pretty hard to see,
but he also said the road had been oiled and I wasn't going
on it in my new car. It is a good thing because I didn't have
the time anyway.
Sunday May 4
It was such a fine day that we decided to cook our ham
burgers on those electric burners at TouVelle park after
church. It was very nice there, but there were many more
people than birds. There would be more birds at 5 o'clock
some morning. Bacon and eggs would taste mighty good then,
cooked on those burners which will cook quite a bit of food
for a dime.
Monday, May 5
We took the Sterling Creek road for our morning trip.
That is the one that goes along the crest of the hill west of
Jacksonville and then winds down along the Little Applegate.
J. H. could not go this time so my wife and S. made up the
company. This is the last Monday trip for S. She is leaving
Friday to sail later in the month and join her husband, my
son, in Japan. '
This was our first summer-like trip in the matter of birds
we saw. What made it like summer is that we kept hearing
black headed grosbeaks and tanagers, typical summer song
sters in this area. The western tanagers were the very first
of the season. This is perhaps the most gorgeous bird we
have. Its yellow body, black wings and tail and red head
make anybody stop and look. In migration time we bird
watchers usually get a call or two from some person who
has seen this bird for the first time and wonders what it is
Actually it is a very common bird through all the forested
area of the state, but it feeds often in the higher branches
of the trees where it is hard to see. That is why we hear so
many more than we see. We got a fine view of just one
today.
My wife has some trouble distinguishing the songs of the
tanager and the black headed grosbeak which are both some
what robin-like. This is strange because she is rather musical
and knows a lot of tunes, whereas I am a complete musical
dub and have trouble telling "America" from "The Star
Spangled Banner." I can distinguish these loud bird songs
but I fall down on the thinner ones because of my deafness
to high pitches. I can hardly hear any of the warblers any
more.
I compared our list for today with the one we made on
this same route on March 10. Fourteen of the species we saw
today weren't even in the area then. Five of the ones we saw
then and not today are Winter-type birds now much reduced
in numbers, if not gone. So is the bird population rapidly
changing.
Tuesday, May 6
We keep running Into bird watching pieces in the news'
papers and magazines. Our friends like to show us cartoons
of bird watchers. My wife has started making a collection
of them. Some of the most recent ones have been about birds
doing people-watching. In tonight's Mail Tribune is a column
by Joseph Alsop mostly taken up with bird watching.
gather that he feels somewhat apologetic about using it as
an escape from the harsh realities of world politics: I think
we need some temporary escapes for the good of our souls
Moreover, I think escaping to a better knowledge of the
world around us can be escaping to reality, not away from it
Thursday, May 8 v .
The commonest warbler in our willows this week Is Wil
son's. Mighty pretty little fellows, too, with their black caps
I have also seen a warbling vireo a couple of times and heard
it more. I hear an oriole every day and catch occasional
glimpses of it. I have been hearing ash throated flycatchers
every day but today for the first time got a good view of a
pair. They are distinguished by their reddish tail and by a
ioua can wnich sounds like i churr" to me. .
I saw one golden crowned sparrow today. This is rather
late for even one to be lingering. For the first time today no
birds came down after I threw chick scratch on the lawn. I
guess my season of bird feeding is about over. . A brown
towhee has been coming in recently, though. I also hear one
singing sometimes. I think they might be1 nesting on the

Custody Fight Begins
Over Lana Turner's Girl
Cheryl should have been com
pletely freed after the Good
Friday killing of her moth
er's1 lover, John Stompanata".
He also stated, "I am
ready, willing and able to ex
ercise parental supervision."
Friends close to Crane
pointed out that once Cheryl
is freed or being a ward of
Juvenile Court there would
be nothing to prevent Crane
from seeking custody.
Jerry Giesler, Miss Tur
ner's attorney, said he will
fight Crane's attempt to ap
peal the decision. ,
"I will oppose on the basis
that the court acted wisely
and properly and there is no
ground for action," the Hol
lywood lawyer said.
Hollywood Iff) Steve
Crane, second husband of ac
tress Lana Turner, has fired
the first shot in what may be
a bitter battle for custody of
his daughter, Cheryl.
The Beverly Hills restau
rant owner Friday filed a
written notice with Superior
Court that he would appeal
from an April 24 ruling by
Juvenile Court Judge Allen
T. Lynch which made 14-year-old
Cheryl a ward of the court
and placed her in the tempo
rary custody of Miss Turner's
mother, Mildred. -
Crane declared after the
court ruling that he felt

Receives Citation
For Safe Riding
Kathy Robertson, 8-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Stuart Robertson, of 1540 Jas
per street, Medford, was pre
sented a citation for faultless
bicycle riding at the Friday
noon meeting of the Medford
Safety council;
She was selected after a
city police check of bicycle
riders. She has been the only
bicycle rider observed obey
ing all traffic laws and riding
safely since officers started
Checking about six weeks
ago, according to Capt. Clyde
Fichtner, of the Medford
police. '
The safety council and city
police plan to continue the
practice of honoring safe bi
cycle riders with the hope all
bicycle riders will improve
riding habits.
Featured Speaker '
Featured speaker at the Fri
day meeting was Sidney King,
director of safety for the Ore
gon state motor association,
Portland.
He told the group the par
ticipation and suppport of a
well-organized safety program
by such organizations as the
Medford Safety council would
greatly help in improving traf
fic accident and death records
set in 1957. He pointed out
that 1957 traffic deaths in
Oregon was the greatest ever
recorded.
The pedestrian death rate
was the largest ever recorded
and is growing faster than
others. He explained that Ore
gon's death rate rose about the
same percentage as the na
tional rates.
Method of Improvement
He said the main method of
improvement in the rate is not
by blaming speed alone.
"Speed is a relative thing,"
he noted. A recent study by
an eastern state showed 72
per cent of all fatal accidents
took place where a car was
Call Workers For
Brownlee Dam
Pendleton KB Eastern
Oregon officials of the state
council of laborers were busy
rounding up striking con
struction workers late Friday
to put them back on the job
at Brownlee dam after con
tractors declared a state of
emergency because of the pos
sibility of high water damage
to roads and farmlands along
the Snake river.
i Mike Grim, secretary of the
union's local 682 here, said
the order to return to. work
came from the union's inter
national headquarters m
Washington, D.C. He said it
was "just for four or five
days" and affected only wor
kers at the Brownlee site.
"The strike's not over. It's
only to get these jobs fin
ished," he said.
Grim said the work was
to start as soon as a work
force could be assembled. He
said the laborers would work
around-the-clock shifts to fin
ish work on spillways and
gates at the dam, and on two
roads, one from Richland t
the dam that replaces a low
er route along the river. The
roadwork was also to be con
tinued at the Huntington end
of Highway 30.
traveling at less than 40 miles
per hour, he said.
The'attitude of drivers must
be changed, according to
King. He said several studies
are now under way at univer
sities to determine how much
attitude affects a person's
driving habits.
He said the attitude can be
changed in a driver and cited
the fact high school .students
who have attended driver
training have 50 per cent less
accidents and 50 per cent
less traffic citation than
similar groups with no driver
training. '
