Will the Swallows Come Capistrano on St. Joseph's By J. A. ST. AMANT San Juan, Capistrano, Calif. -(UPD- It's swallow time at San Juan Capistrano and the an nual spring madness about the "Miracle of the Swallows" is in the air. The faithful feathered crea tures are due back at this his toric mission tomorrow on St. Joseph's Day but there are few people left who believe their return has any religious significance. The pretty legend has been pretty well blasted by science. The swallows do come north in the spring but so do a lot of other migratory birds such as geese and ducks. Other Places. Too The swallows come north not only to the mission here but also to old barns and out buildings and to the Episcopal Church at San Clemente a few miles to the south. The swallow legend became famous in the mid-1930s on the wings of a song, "When Two Cars Involved In Ashland Mishap Ashland - A Tillamook teen-ager lost control of his car at the intersection of Sec ond and C sts. here yesterday afternoon and struck a . ve hicle operated by a 17-year-old Ashland youth, city police reported. There were no in juries and no citations. Police said Tom M. Mun ger, 16, was turning left from Second onto C st. when his car struck that of James R. Doster, 705 Clay st.

Dick Spain - Bill Lively AND THE ROGUE VALLEY BOYS WESTERN MUSIC the Swallows Come Back To Capistrano." But the good Franciscan padres who run the mission have never at tached any religious signifi cance to their return. Some old settlers of Spanish-Mexican descent look upon the annual migration as part of the Feast of St. Joseph, but they won't get any back ing from the Catholic Church. No Religious Implications Msgr. Vincent Lloyd-Russell, the mission pastor, says "There's nothing religious about the migration. It just happens that it usually coin cides with St. Joseph's Day." Any swallows arriving ear lier than the feast day are called "scouts" by the old timers. So many scouts ar rived in 1947, that most every one had to admit the swallows were early four days early. Two elements may have been factors in establishing and perpetuating the legend -the Franciscan Order was founded by St. Francis of As sisi, the patron of the birds and the beasts, and the birth day of Msgr. S. John O. Sulli van, longtime pastor who helped restore the mission grounds, fell on St. Joseph's Day. Strictly Their Business A member of the Franciscan Order, Rev. Edgar Holden of the St. Anthony - On - Hudson Seminary in New York creat ed some consternation among old-timers last year when he said in a speech, "it might be true that these little creatures return to Capistrano each year on March 19. If so, it is strictly their business. But the veiled implication that their scheduled appearance some how bolsters the truth of Catholicism is - in the quaint metric of the feathered folk -strictly for the birds." The local Chamber of Com merce does nothing to dispell the legend of the swallows' supposedly exact schedule. This year the chamber in curred the displeasure of the padres by scheduling its "Fi esta De Las Golbndrinas" on St. Joseph's Day rather than in mid - summer as in past years. This includes' a horse parade with a few movie stars and other trimmings. Too Commercial , The padres feel this is just a bit too commercial. They confine their activities to a pageant on the mission grounds and special masses for the saint's day. Ted Hodges, a local news paperman and observer of the swallows for 25 years, takes the non-religious view of the migration. "I've never seen a March 19 but that we've had at least a few swallows although storms and other weather changes affect their arrival time," he says. "This is a biological thing - these birds want to get rid of their eggs and they want to do it back where they were born. It's as simple as that." Paul Arbiso who was born here and collects the 50 cents admission fee to the mission, hints rather guardedly at re ligious overtones. Departure Sequel Junked "I've been watching the swallows come back for about 60 years," he says, "and most of the time, most of them come back right on St. Jo seph's Day." The legend of the swallows used to have a sequel - their departure supposedly on San Juan's Day, Oct. 23. But this has been junked and science again can be blamed. The swallows are insect-eaters and because of the effectiveness of modern insecticides, their PLAYHOUSE Elk Creek Highway 8 Miles Off Crater Lake Highway Back to Day? food supply runs out earlier. They sometimes leave the mission and surroundings as early as July, faithless crea tures bent on finding happier hunting grounds to fill their gullets.
