Mothers went as cha- perones. Tangier I'll believe almost anything I hear in the future about this international city that is separated from the Kingdom of Morocco by the narrow arc of Spanish Moroc CO. It is a place of surprises Typical of these are the tree- climbing goats. A man drove me out to a place where he had some ar gan trees growing.

They love it. I saw a bearded billy, a good 15 feet off the ground munching happily away and others climbing up to join him. As for Tangier itself, it is such a mixture of old and new, Africa, Arabic, European and American cultures, that I jumped at the chance late yesterday to make a brief flight to Fez, the old capital of Morocco. . One of the most startling things I saw there were the storks. They, were nesting on one of the mosques and sev eral other buildings. I knew, of course, that they fly south from northern Europe to win ter in Afica, but I didn't ex pect to see them on Moroccan houses. They looked as friendly and grotesque as in any picture. One was standing on one leg on the edge of , a building above the street. Apparently he was asleep, quite oblivious of the burnoosed and tur baned Arabs in the street be low. Sign of Good Luck The Mohammedans, by the way, regard the stork just as the Danes and Dutch do, I was told. He is a sign of good luck. His appearance means an addition to the family. And since Mohammedans like chil dren just as we do though they make less of a production about having them they give the birds an extra welcome. The storks in Morocco live the same way they do in North Europe. They make a lazy flight to swampy areas outside the city for their daily, quota of frogs, fish and mice. Then flap their voiceless way back to their rooftops. The only sound they ever make is during their awkward mat ing dances when they clack their mandibles, the upper and lower parts of their bills.
