(UPI Telephoto) Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Witkim Many Myths Have Been Built Up Around the Owl "Yes, sir, I've caught many an owl by Just walking around in a circle. The owl will keep turning its head un til it wrings its own neck." So spoke the Old Timer. It's surprising how many people believe this, all be cause the poor bird cannot move Its eyeballs but must a! ways turn its head. The eyes are firmly locked; to follow a moving object the owl must turn Its head, but It certainly doesn't turn it completely around. The head only comes to an extreme turning point, then quickly it is turned back. The ball-and-socket arrangement in the owl's neck docs allow for a great turning radius, but it docs not permit a full turn. It is only a superstition that an owl could wring its own neck. a juicy opportunity. . . WIN A CALIFORNIA ORANGE GROVE!

J dffVL '"' "'"" .i''- tsm. Vt??-X Another erroneous belief i usually associated with these solemn birds is the idea that they can see at night or in complete darkness. No ani mal, the owl. included, can see in total darkness. Of course the owl, like many other creatures that hunt dur ing the night, on see better in half-light than daylight feeding animals, but they can not "see" In the dark. Not 'Wise . . Neither is the owl an ex ceedingly "wise" bird in spite of its dignified appearance and universal reputation for "knowledge." In a wild, in stinctive way he is wise to the habits of those creatures on which he preys, but his actual IQ rating is rather low; he doesn't rate with the top third of their class. Probably because the owl is abroad only during the hours of darkness and care fully hidden from sight dur ing the daylight hours, he is but partially understood by most folks. Around the bird, because of its habits, have been fabricated many strange myths and superstitions. The owl is often used in stories of witchcraft and is a symbol of mysterious "going's on" at Hallowe'en, and all be cause he is so little under stood. Owls of some variety occur in nearly every section of the world. There are at least 18 kinds in North Ameri ca. Our owls range in size from the tiny, little elf owl of Arizona, which Is barely six inches long, to the great Arc tic owl. that may stand nearly three feet. Featherr Facet I All owls have exceedingly j feathery taces; even the bill Is almost completely hidden. One, the saw whet owl doesn't even cry like others of ils family but utters a sound startlingly like a dull file scraping over a steel saw. All owls are valuable, Inas much as they consume great numbers of mice and rats as well as many insects. The owl swallows hide, feathers, fur and bones of Ils prey, apparently needing this "roughage" for proper diges tion. The owl family has always been terribly misunderstood. Ancient literature credited them with being "birds of ill omen." As "wise" as owls ap pears to be, they have never been able to educate the ma jority of people with their worthiness and hannlessness. Poor things - they can neither "see in the dark nor wring their own necks." (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1960) Hon 'Alarmed' at Firemen's Plight Buffalo, N.Y.-Local fire fighters were, on the Job at a general alarm blaze , in nearby Lackawanna, but Ray mond J.
