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

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.

A heavy infestation of "flea

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

Horticultural Agent C. B.
Cordy said many residents
have called his office to ask
about the tiny bouncing balls

lawns.
Some "seeds" were reported
to have .bounced as high as
eight inches.
The cynipid wasp develops
from the larva "after it has

Cordy said the infestation
varies from year to year and
does not cause "too much"
damage to the oak trees.
