Is That So?
By EUGENE BURNS
Ranger-Naturalist
Baghdad, There are sev
eral varieties of sand grouse
They seem to be a fairly com
mon bird in the Near and
Middle East. All . that I have
seen are good looking, but
those we saw coming in from
the nearby desert are the
most striking so far.
As one might expect from
nature's protective coloration,
they have a generally sandy
tone to their feathers, as one
looks at them quickly. But
B-l-ra
closer inspection and we
wer within 10 feet of some
of these revealed a soft pink
lilac coloring of the plumage
on head and breast, while that
of the lower half of face and
throat was a vivid orangeish
yellow. The two main tail
feathers were elongated, al
most swallow-like and dark
tipped. The wings were barred
in a a darker brown and the
legs were feathered.
Those we saw yesterday
were picking for seeds in cam
el droppings along the road
where it entered the cultivat
ed area from the desert. As
they pecked their way along
the ground, one of the cocks
threw back his head and gave
a strange cry. Almost im
mediately more birds came
wheeling down the sky.
For a second they seemed
to be hawks, their flight was
so free and strong-Tiien they
seemed to be swallows, from
the manner of their darting
and wheeling. But as they set
tled on the road a little far
ther along, I could plainly see
they were more sand grouse.
Two of them, however, re
mained aloft, soaring and dart
ing about as if they were in
an ecstasy. There seemed to
be no reason for their actions.
But presently one of those
on the ground near us joined
them and I saw the reason
why.
Both Veered
A large bug was flying mad
ly past, about 20 feet up, and
though he veered in an effort
to escape the upcoming dang
er, the sand grouse veered,
too, in his swallow-like flight
and nailed him.
I could make out other bugs'
now, and as the two birds I,
have been watcnmg came low1
er, it was evident that the in
sects were the explanation of
their seeming ecstasy. The
bugs, however, were merely
an hors doeuvre. A few sec
onds more and all the sand
grouse were on the ground
hunting the seeds thaf form
their favorite food.

Norman T. Why should we
bex railroaded by vicious gos
sip? Greta A. I am a widow ir
my 50s with grown and mar
ried children. About a year
ago I met a man of my own
age at my brother's home.
He told me he was married,
but never went out with his
wife as she lived in a world
of her own with her family
and club activities.
Norman and I hit it off just
beautifully from the start.
We seemed to like to do the
same kind of thing and it was
a joy to be able to have an
escort to go out with again.
Our relationship was purely
one of friendship and dating.
but it turns out that others
did not see it that way.
Recently I got a couple of
anonymous letters of the most
vicious kind, calling me every
horrible name in the language.
I feel that I can't go on with
our friendship if I am going
to be looked at in this light.
Norman thinks it's foolish.
Norman T. We are two
mature individuals and we
have a right to enjoy our
lives as we see fit. Why
should we be railroaded by
vicious gossip of this kind?
Anyone who is malicious
enough to send an anonymous
letter deserves the worst kind
of punishment. Certainly self
respecting people should not
be influenced by it. Greta
has suggested that it might
have been my wife, but I
think this is impossible as
she often told me she would
be happy to have me enjoy
myself in my own way as
long as she has her freedom.
We have never been able to
enjoy ourselves together.
Greta and I know we are
doing nothing wrong from any
point of view. It is a blessing
to both of us to be able to
have a companion. Before we
met we were both so terribly
lonely and Greta told me at
one time she almost thought
she was on the verge of sui
cide. Tha Council: We agree noth
ing can be more dispicable
than the kind of anonymous
letters Greta describes, and
that nobody should be "rail
roaded by vicous gossip."
There are, however, other
considerations for both Nor
man and Greta.
Unfortunately, perhaps, it
isn't possible in our society
for a man and woman freely
to enjoy the kind of friend
ship they describe. Married
couples do not wish to be
come involved and avoid
them. Their own children and
other relatives are perplexed
and reluctant to share social
activities with them.
As a result Greta and Nor
man are forced into a relation
ship which cuts them off from
the rest of society. The more
cut off they become, the more
dependent upon one another
they grow.
They may eventually be
come involved with on anoth
er than they really want to
be, or they may gradually be
come quite bored with one
another and find themselves
unable to escape one another's
company.
Greta in particular, has
much to lose by a relationship
which cuts her off from the
possibility of meeting men
who might be interested " in
marriage. She must also be
made uneasy by the fact that
her actions are open to unfor
unate interpretations.
We do not thing Greta and
Norman must destroy their
friendship, but we do think it
would be better for both of
them to stop dating. They
should try to find group ac
tivities that bring them to
gether on a limited number
of occasions.

Does
Your Family, Inc
have an
annual report?
In some ways it certainly makes a lot of sense to
look at your family as a business.
For instance, businesses set aside money each year
to meet their future needs. Your family should, too,
because you'll have a lot of future needs . . . college
educations for the children . . . a new house ... a
- retirement fund. '
You might call the money you'll need for these things
a reserve for future operating expenses. And you should
start building that reserve right now.'
One of the best ways to do this is by regular purchase
of U. S. Savings Bonds. They're a safe, sure invest
ment that's backed by the strength of the greatest
nat'ion on eartr- "
Savings Bonds are ab9otutefy indestruct'ble. stolen,
lost or destroyed -theyl be replaced without charge
by the U. S, Treasury. v .'
' And now they're better than ever. Every U. S.
Series E Savings Bond purchased since February 1, 1957
pays 3 interest when held to maturity. It matures
earlier, too in only 8 years and 11 months and pays
higher interest in the earlier years. ' '.
So this year look at, your family's finances with V
businessman's eye. And make it your New Year's"
Resolution to start building a fund for the fuWeJ by
buying Savings Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan,
