seemed adequate to the hospi

Ground Interment
Brown Creeper So Intent
He Ignores Nearby Humans
Constant and absolute con
centration to small details is
typical of the little brown
bird, with the stiff tail fea
thers and the long, down-
curved bilT, that creeps up
the trunks of forest trees. He
may even be present at times
on the trees in city backyards
and parks, the so-called tree,
or brown creeper.
This bird becomes so dedi
cated with the work at hand
that it will absolutely ignore
the curious human who may
be standing within a few feet
of the tree on which the bird
is working. The creeper be
gins at the base of the tree
trunk, progresses upward by
circling the trunk, and all the
time peering with near-sighted
intentness at the bark, looking
into every crack and crevice,
searching tor insects or in
sect eggs on which it feeds.
This little character never
heard about the fact that there
is "always room at the top,'
for the moment it creeps up
to the point where the branch
es of the trunk begin, it im
mediately forsakes its high
position, flies down to the
base of another tree and be
gins the slow, circling climb
all over again, right from the
bottom.
They're Hungry
This meek little brown bird
with the white markings,
spends all his waking time
working upward on tree
trunks for just one specific
purpose -to satisfy his appe
tite.
There are about a half doz
en kinds of tree creepers in
the United States. All of them
are meek and tame little
birds. Unlike the nuthatch
that insists on being upside
down on the tree trunk, the
creepers . usually assume a
more conventional position,
creeping round and round the
trunk, but constantly moving
upward.
These friendly little creat-
tures seem to be always short
on judgment and long on pe
culiar traits. Due perhaps to
their trusting nature, the bird
will calmly creep up and up
as if on a circular staircase,
and remain perfectly obliv
ious to the fact that someone
may be within a few feet of it
-someone or something that
might easily destroy it.
Where It Nests
Neither does it show a shred
of common sense in its selec
tion of a nesting site -something
it should be exceeding
ly careful about, for it insists
on building its nest behind a
loose piece of tree bark on a
Auto Helmets,
Safely Bells To
Reduce Fractures
Miami Beach, Fla. -(Science
Service)- Helmets may make
auto drivers and passengers
look like Buck Rogers, but
coupled with seat belts, their
use would practically elimi
nate facial and brain frac
tures in auto accidents.
Auto accidents are the ma
jor cause of facial fractures
requiring plastic surgery, Dr.
Reed O. Dingman of the Uni
versity of Michigan Medical
School, Ann Arbor, said here.
Safety equipment would sig
nificantly reduce these, he
told colleagues at the meeting
of the American Society of
Plastic and Reconstructive.
Surgry here.
He pointed out that the
front passenger in a car is
most likely to fracture the
bones of the middle portion of
his face-nose, cheekbones, or
upper jaw as he is thrown
forward in a crash against the
instrument panel or the rear
view mirror. On the other
hand, the driver is more likely
to injure his lower jaw.
Internal Wiring
To prevent deformity from
developing in such an injured
face, Dr. Dingman suggested
that the surgeon align and fix
the facial fractures by inter
nal wiring as soon as possible.
Otherwise, delayed treatment,
poor healing or the occurrence
of infection may cause a de
fect which needs later cor
rection by refracturing and re
positioning of the bones, or by
bone and cartilage grafts.
Dr. Dingman said that al
though a patient's own tissue
was still the best material for
facial reconstruction, bone
and cartilage preserved in
banks had been successfully
used during the past five
years. More effective meth
ods of preservation and ster
ilization of human tissue, in
cluding the use of cobalt as a
sterilizer, are now being em
ployed at University Hospital,
Ann Arbor, he said.
Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
tree that is rapidly falling
apart. The more-dilapidated
the tree, or how early its age
will cause it to fall apart,
seems to be what the bird
looks for in a location. Given
a preference, the creeper will
select a sheet of loose bark
that is hanging on a balsam
tree. If trees of this kind are
not available the bird will
search until it finds another
bark flap on any old tree, and
there it will construct its
nest. It would seem that Fate,
or whatever it is that directs
the destiny of birds, would
make some sort of favorable
allowances for those whose
trusting nature .- or lack of
judgment or extreme friend
liness - prompts them to risk
disaster or total destruction in
a precarious position.

Congress May Gel
Sleel Wage Dispute
Washington (OPD The gov
ernment's Taft-Hartley cool
ing off timetable threatens to
dump the steel wage dispute
into the lap of the returning
Congress in January.
If the strike is not settled
during an 80-day breather
provided by government
requested court injunction,
Congress will move into the
picture. Even if a settlement
is reached, the bitterness pro
duced by the dispute may
bring congressional action.
Many Suggestions
In either event, Congress
probably would try to write
a new and improved national
emergency section for the
Taft-Hartley act.
JUST TO SAY HELLO
