One Yard 35-Inch : Diary 'ISSE' i of a flk Bird Watcher '-fr ! ; l: Thursday. July 10 At Camp Adams, near Molalla, I saw a new bird for my year list, number 193. It was a hermit warbler. Appropriate ly named, it is a bird of the woods in the foothills and moun tains. Its markings, a yellow head and black throat are dis tinctive and make it easy to recognize. I think I have only seen this bird a couple of times in Jackson county, but it is probably here regularly. ' !7032 A dainty apron for com pany best.

BRILL 0 METAL WORKS Commercial Industrial Residential Sheet Metal Work Stainless, Galvanised and Coppr Fabrication 2287 West Main PHONE SP 2-4440 Saturday. July 12 Today we came home from Camp Adams. It was a cooler, pleasanter trip than when we went up. When I head for home I am like a horse heading for the barn. I want to get there quick, not for a bin of oats, but to see my family and take up my neglected work. Such a trip is no time to look for birds. I just packed my binoculars in the trunk and left them there. I'll try to do my bird watching on the by-roads. Sunday, July 13 I noticed in the correspondence column of the Mail Trib une that someone thinks that the program of eradicating porcupines was so successful a bounty should.be placed on English sparrows. I am not fond of the house sparrow myself but I am strongly opposed to putting a bounty on them. Once, when I was feeding-birds in the winter I thought I had too many so I started to trap them. I found that I caught the attractive golden crowned sparrows just as easily as the house sparrows. That wasn't so bad as long as I knew the difference and could release them, but one day a Bewick's wren got caught in the trap when I didn't notice it, and died. Then I gave up trapping. Many people would not be able to tell an English sparrow from an immature golden crowned sparrow or some other of our native sparrows. Besides I think children and young people should be taught to love and cherish our wild life and putting a bounty on scjme of the creatures doesn't further that teaching. If any birds or animals must be destroyed let it be by adult people who are definitely hurt by them and know what they are doing. Monday, July 14 J. H. came by and we went up the Dead Indian grade and along that road part of the way toward Lake of the Woods. We also had a doctor friend along who wanted to see what bird watching was like. He said he could see the fascination of it. We did see some nice birds such as the always gorgeous tanagers, a purple finch with the sun shining on its bright red (not purple) head, a straight plumed mountain quail with a flock of cute little ones, and swifts flying rapidly over at a speed to justify their name. We went to the spot where we had seen the calliope hummingbird earlier in the season, and there might have been a whole family of them now, but they went streaking through the air at a speed that made them impossible to identify or else hid on the back sides of bushes. The only hummingbird we got a good view of seemed to bevof the commoner rufous variety. Once more we failed to see the black-backed woodpecker that I saw up in that area once and have been looking for ever since. GOLD HILL Recent Guests Listed By MRS. CLYDE KELL Gold Hill Mrs. Leslie Le men of Sitka, Alaska, and her sister, Mrs. Millie Snider, of Portland, were guests recent ly in the home of their moth er, Mrs. Maybelle Rains, in Gold Hill. While in southern Oregon, they also visited in the homes of their brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Goodman and daughter, Deb bie, in Medford, and friends, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Root, also of Medford. In Central Point, they visited Mr. and Mrs. Jess Davis and in Sams Valley at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lyman. Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Lyman are cousins of Mrs. Lemen and Mrs. Snider.

Tuesday, July 15 Rfnr the thunder shower in the evening we had a lot v.irH srnunH nnr nlace. At this season the birds are be ginning to travel more in flocks, some of which may be just hut hirris of different SDecies seem to prefer to be near each other. Most conspicuous this afternoon was a family of ash-throated flycatchers. The young ones seemed to look just like the adults which are easily identified by their reddish tails. I think this is one of the most attractive of the flycatchers. Since they do what their name implies catch flies most people would consider them useful as well as ornamental. They undoubtedly also get mosquitoes and other noxious insects. Arrmrur tho othpr hirrls we saw this afternoon were of course robins of which there are a good many speckled breasted young ones now, brown towhees, titmice and a Bewick's wren. Wednesday. July IS . Being near Hoover lake, as any one could guess, I visited it. The interesting thing I saw this time was two American egrets flying over one of the ponds. I am always happy when I see these beautiful birds in our valley. T.M. Georgia was the first state to require birth registration and to grant married women full property rights.

A description of the Eisenhower family history, written by Mrs. Fannie B. Richardson of Greenwood, Ind., points out this fact. A copy v of the history, which "traces the diverse gene ology of the Eisenhower fam ily, with at least 15 different spellings of which Icenhower is one, was given to the South ern Oregon college library by George B. Icenhower, an Ash land retail merchant. Historical Tracings The volume starts its hos torical tracings with a Hans Nicholas .Eisenhower, who was born in 1691. When Hans Nicholas migrated to the United States in 1741, he brought his three sons, Peter, Johannes and Martin, with him. Both President Eisenhower- and George B. Icen hower are descendents of Peter Eisenhower. President Eisenhower is de scended from Peter's 17th child, Samuel, product of Peter's third marriage. Icen- hower's great-great grandfa ther was Peter's fifth son, Frederick, born of his first marriage. The manuscript, which was presented unbound, will be bound and inserted into a col lection of family and local history which the SOC libra ry is beginning. Miss Myrtle Funkhouser, SOC librarian, said. The book of the Eisenhower family covers time from the date 1691 to 1955, some 264 years in all. Approximately 10 generations of Eisenhowers are included. Some 2,228 sep arate families are discussed in the mimeographed book. The care of a 10-cow herd consumes an average of 129 man-hours a year, according to a Department of Agricul ture study.
