Watkms MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. 1 0 Thursdiy, Dec 31, 1959 1' happy all the time he forgets himself. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1959) Chipmunk Has Troubles; He's Carefree and Cheerful The eastern, striped chip munk is a true philosopher. Although his troubles are many and his enemies numer ous, he remains carefree and cheerful. He never allows his misfortunes to rumple his alert gaiety. He displays a friendly good humor toward friend and foe and endears himself to all who care to meet him on equal terms. If any animal could be said to be vivacious, then this pocket - sized edition of the squirrel family, who frequents tree - roots, stone piles and stumps throughout the entire section of the U.S., is surely it. He is about one-third the size of his tree-climbing rela tives. Along his agile body he wears five black and two white stripes. Seldom does he climb a tree, but scurries rapidly over roots and stones at the edge of the woodlots where he can dash out into the sun at frequent intervals. Show him the least sign of friendship and he will willingly eat out of your hand. Frighten him and he scampers with nervous haste and twitching tail into the mouth of his burrow.

In no time at all his prominent little ears and bright, beady eyes peak out to see that everything is again normal. He quickly scampers from his rock crevice, twitch es his tail with nervous jerks and begins his prowling. He is too good natured to hold a grudge even if you shoot at him. He is ever ready to for give and forget. Probably of all his many enemies, and there are more of them than he can shake his tail at, the worst of them is the man with the gun. The next enemy he has to watch out for is the weasel, an ani mal that hunts the chipmunk in its own burrow. These bur rows often run for many yards, dipping every few feet. Along the tunnel-side, rooms are dug out where food is stored. No Mound The chipmunk never throws up a tell-tale mound of earth at the tunnel entrance. He doesn't believe in placing the equivalent of a red lantern beside the hole; it would be too easy for enemies to locate him. A group of chipmunks of ten "get together" for a gen eral "talk-fest" or "commun ity sing" when they all chat ter in a shrill voice. Just what they accomplish at these civic meetings has never been ex plained. I think the chipmunk can be excused if in the joyful abandon of living he eats a bird's egg or two. He's so a?
