16 MAIL TRIBUNf, M.oW, Or. A Sunday, June 28, 1959 Arrowheads in Lake Co. Exhibit Portland - Twmt y -five thousand dollars worth of arrowheads, a display of cat tle brands and scale model of a uranium concentration mill are features of the Lake county booth at the Oregon Centennial Exposition Cen ter. The arrowheads, arranged in a covered wagon and In dian head design, are valued at more than $25,000 and are considered one of the most valuable collections of its type in the nation. Comple menting the arrowheads is a display of semi- precious stones and rare rock forma tions which are indigenous to the county. Although no cash value has been placed on the stones, they are considered extremely valuable. ' A display of over 40 catge brands gives the viewer some idea of the flourishing cattle industry Din Lake county. While totally unrecognkable to the non-cowboy type indi vidual, the brands give an authentic taste of the "old west." v Highlighting the exhibit is a model of the new uranium concentration mill near Lake view. The mill is one of the many new industries moving into Lake county. Also on display in conjunc tion with the Lake county booth is an exhibit by the Order of the Antelope. The Order of the Antelope is a group of Lake county men dedicated to preserving the now scarce Antelope herds. One of the most distinctive souvenir pieces for Centen nial visitors is available at the booth. Nationally known mm ha T atro rmintv "hiiek" the souvenir is a leather cow hide dollar.

Wheat Bill Veto Seen Political Issue Washignton-ajPB-Democrats are convinced that President Eisenhower's wheat bill veto has handed them a farm issue which will help elect a Demo crat to the presidency in 1960 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Ducks Aren't Hikers,-But This On Trekked 9 miles - I would imagine that nearly everyone knows that ducks are flat-footed. You know, that is, if you ever think of ducks. If you don't give ducks a thought, their flat-foot af fliction will come as news to you for they don't talk much about it but they don't talk much about anything, at least in language that we can un derstand. The duck family has no arch to the foot at all. They are flat-footed as a board. But it is no serious handicap since normally they can fly. About the only walking they have to do, ever, is back and forth from a pond's edge to a near by grass-clump. Classic Feat Inasmuch as no one expects a duck to do any cross-country hiking, the feat performed by Sophia, the California duck, who made the long hike, be came almost a classic. She was the pet of a family who had three children, who ob jected strenuously when the family decided the. duck would be much better off in the city park where she could be with others of her kind and have a big lake in which' to swim. The park was nine miles away,' across the city. Sophia didn't object. She had no idea where she was going or why. Several times during the following months the children visited the park and played for a while with the duck. She gave every evidence of en joying every moment of their visits. Then," on a holiday, the chil dren with their picnic baskets went to spend the day in the City park. Sophia was not there. Inquiries revealed the fact that the duck had not been seen for a couple of days. The children were very sad. Sophia couldn't fly, her wing had been clipped, so the only explanation was that she had wandered away or had been caught by some predator. But a few days later the duck wad dled into the home yard. "So phia had come home." On Pavement Nine miles it was, and ve hicular traffic was heavy. There was nowhere to walk except on the hot, hard, un yielding pavement, alongside the curb. Hundreds of cars zipped past. Thousands of peo ple must have seen the duck waddling along but they only laughed. They would fail to realize what a heart-breaking effort was being expended or how sore the paddle-feet were or what wild thoughts were passing through the little duck-brain. - . Even had they noticed, they would not have cared, just a lost duck, waddling, flat-foot-edly along the curb-side. Yet, Sophia the duck who could not fly, finally made it. And for her effort her family decided that she could always remain, just where she want ed so desperately to be at home. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1959) - Infestation of 'Flea Seeds' Noted. A heavy infestation of "flea seeds," tiny ball-like galls con taining cynipid wasp larvae) j has been reported to the coun ty agents office in recent days. ine minute bails form on the underside of oak leaves and remain there until the movement of the larvae breaks them loose to fall on the ground. Horticultural Agent C. B. Cordy said many residents have called his office to ask about the tiny bouncing balls they have found on their lawns. Some "seeds" were reported to have .bounced as high as eight inches. The cynipid wasp develops from the larva "after it has moved into a secluded spot. Cordy said the infestation varies from year to year and does not cause "too much" damage to the oak trees.

Champlin has! flew idea. for the defense of the enlightened majority. The objective is simply to discour age goofy and dangerous an tics by giving the familiar 'thumbs down' gesture to the offender. "Public safety; authorities suggest that whenever i per son is seen making a pest of himself by clownish behavior in or around a boat, or for that matter in an auto on the highway, annoyed or endan gered bystanders can give the unmistakable thumbs down sign - a universally recog nized signal of disapproval.

Yet, just as motoring has its mi nority of irresponsible 'hot-rod jockeys and 'drag-race show offs' so does boating have a few smart alecks who imperil the safety of themselves and others," he declared. ; Chief Champlin said "Out of a desire to curb the danger ous behavior of this trouble- 0) Y ESTABLISHED 1896 I GREEN PRINTED PATTERN M 185 Societe des Modelistes de France s ... -j The EXCITEMENT OF PARIS is curved into every line of this blade-slim sheath that -comes to you directly from the Societ Des Modelistes de France.
