Diary ' , jf" of a ' Bird Watchei Ifr Saturday, Oct. 11 I mentioned in my last column that I didn't think blue birds came eiound our home place as much as they used to. So today when I went out there they were in. the oak tree right in front.' I am glad they came around because I like bluebirds. There is another bird that I both like and dislike. It is the sapsucker. The species name is "yellow-bellied sap sucker", but the yellow belly is the least conspicuous mark ing on it. We aren't supposed to use the common names of subspecies any more fonly the Latin ones) but in this case the old subspecies name is much more descriptive, "red breasted sapsucker". Its whole head and neck are bright red. The other colors easily seen are black and white. This is .why I like it I am fond of bright colors.The reason I don't like it is that it pecks holes in our trees so that the sap will ooze out tor its later delectation. This isn't good for the trees. We chase it vay sometimes but we can't spend all our time doing that. It was working a lot on a hawthorne tree, so my wife had me get some of the sticky stuff you put around tree trunks to keep ants from crawling up. She figured the bird wouldn't want to get stuck up and I believe her idea worked. Monday, Oct. 13. Today my wife went along with J. H. and me on our morning trip We decided to go up "Oregon Switzerland"; which you reach by going out Hillcrest rd. and then going straight ahead instead of going toward the left up Roxy Anne. J. H. was the only one of us who has been to Switzer- j land and he says the scenery up this road looks more like Oregon than 'Switzerland; but we like Oregon all right, so i we were happy. 1 j We did particularly well on seeing birds in the thrush family:, robins, -varied thrushes, bluebirds, hermit thrushes and a solitaire. We found quite a few other woodland type birds such as both kind? of kinglets, both white breasted and red breasted nuthatches, titmice and a flock of chestnut backed chickadees. We watched a" couple of pileated wood peckers with special interest. As J. H. said, their loud pound ing sounded as if they were chopping down trees. They have long' necks end really hit the tree trunk with a lot of force. If we were to hammer like that with our heads we would beat our bra.ms out, but they are made with special shock absorbers in their heads. - Tuesday, Oct. 14. . .""'' A killdeer seems to have adopted a new lawn which was put in at the far corner of our place. I don't know what it feeds on, but there must be some kinds of living creatures in that green grass. j Thursday, October 16. This morning I saw a flock of geese flying over. They were too far away to see the markings but later a man who was working here spoke about them. He said he heard them and they were Canadian "honkers", so maybe I can count them among the species seen from the home place.. The bluebirds have been staying with us. I see them almost every day. I haven't noticed them eating berries. They seem to be picking up insects among the trees. Most of the "berries have now beeneaten by the cedar waxwings. ' Most of the birds seem well adapted to their way of feeding. For example the smallness of the lesser goldfinches makes it possible for them to perch gracefully on the top of the Michaelmas daisies. I have found a contrary example, though. A big flicker certainly looks awkward clinging to the flimsy Virginia creeper vines trying to reach the berres that he is so fond of . Friday, Oct. 17. . I have been in Medford for five years now. In fact we got to town on Oct. 9, 1953. I believe these have been the happiest five years of my life. A man is. apt to find his happiness, or the lack of it, in three different fields: his. work, his home life and his hobby. Fortunate indeed is a person (like me) who is happy in all three areas at once. , The first ten days in Medford I was too busy to make, nature notes, but not long after that I began to make the observations which have continued ever since.

Couple Smitten ByUnivac's Bow Joined At Altar ' Hollywood .(UPD. A starry eyed young couple took their vows' yesterday in a formal wedding that had the statis tical blessings of Univac, the robot -calculator which ar rived at the conclusion they were "ideal mates." ' Shirley Saunders and Rob ert Kardell, both 26, were joined inholy matrimony by Dr. Raymond I. Lindquist at the First Presbyterion church in the culmination of a ro mance started by the unemo tional calculator. . Univac was fed statistical data on Miss Saunders, and ad vertising copy writer, and Kardell, a communications consultant, and found that their personalities, politics, re ligion, education and general outlook on life were in "per fect harmony." Neither had been married previously. It all started as a stunt on Art Linkletter's NBC televi sion show, "People Are Fun ny." . Linkletter followed through by acting as best man at the wedding. This was Univac's first suc cess as a matchmaker. The calculator's batting average in this respect is not so good since it has paired 20 other couples on the TV program as "ideal mates," but the idea failed to take root. - Principals To Study Setting Space Pace Salem -flJPD-General theme of the annual state meeting of Oregon elementary school principals when they meet here Oct. 20-21 will be "set ting the pace in the age of space." , The conference is expected to draw about 600 elementary school administrators to study methods of improving curricu lum in their schools..
