The Great American Eagle
Screams Faintly Now
At least there is some little
satisfaction in having lived at
time when the American
bald eagle was an occasional
visitor in the sky.
A never - to - be - forgotten
thrill was the first shrill
scream, coming from out of
the blue sky, and knowing
that this wild call came from
the great bird soaring on stif
fened pinions far above our
earthbound feet.
The American bald eagle.
majestic in his wildness and
his freedom, master of the air
ways, supreme up there in
the clear atmosphere, is the
symbol of a great nation.
Just seeing the majestic birds
up there gave us a feeling of
freedom and mastery of wide
spaces; a living creature, un
tamed, unconfined, unshackled.
Later, a rather intimate fa
miliarity with the bald eagle
and his home life became pos
sible. In frequent trips afield
the great bulky nests were
counted, and their locatoins
carefully recorded for future
observation. Young bald
eagles, still chained by imma
turity to the nesting plat
forms, became i willing sub
jects for photographic film.
A certain qualm of mild
disappointment was felt when
we realized this majestic bird
made no attempt to protect
its eggs or young. A visit to
the top of the eagle's nest al
ways frightened the parent
bi"ds away, and regardless of
tiie time we spent on the plat
form and the screams of the
baby eagles, the parents nev
er came back to dispute our
presence.
Within a relatively short
radius of home we catalogued
17 eagles' nests. And each
year all but one of the nests
produced at least one eaglet.
These nests protected the
young and they left, able to
take care of themselves; cap
able of taking their places in
the clear sky.
Few Nests Loft
And all this was just a few
shorts years ago. Today all
but one of the nests are gone,
and no new ones have been
constructed. Hurricanes have
blown down some nesting
trees. Wild bush fires, some
deliberately manmade, have
destroyed others.
Men and boys with rifles,
ignorant or thoughtless of the
significance of this majestic
bird, have shot down this liv
ing symbol of the independ
ence of a great nation.
Expanding home and indus
trial development have de
stroyed what few nests were
left.
Perhaps already too late,
the governor of the great state
of Florida has proclaimed
"Bald Eagle Week," in an at
tempt to save what few eagles
are still struggling for a little
place in the sun.
The symbol of American
freedom and independence
screams faintly now. Too soon
the echo will have completely
faded away, and another
American bird will have pas
sed from the earthly scene.

and Tribune Syndicate, 1960)

Fire in Mattress
Almost Disastrous
Los Angeles - (UPD - It was
only a minor fire in a mat
tress, but for an elderly cou-
olc who didn't believe in
banks It almost proved disastrous.
When firemen answered
the call Tuesday at the home
of Leslie Smoot, 73, and his
wife, Rose, 60, they found the
couple excitedly tryipg to col
lect their lite savings or
260 in bills and silver slowed
in the mattress, in the pillow
cases, in shoes and jars
throughout the bedroom.
Firemen quickly doused the
flames started by a short In a
healing pad. The couple, oper
ators of a small cafe, explain
ed they were distrustful of
banks since losing their sav
ings during the depression of
the 1930s.
Added Mrs. Smoot, "Will
you give me a ride-I'm going
to the bank to deposit this
money.
Over 300 students attended
the Snowflake Dream Dance
which was sponsored by the
Stingers Dec. 2, from 7 until
9:30 in the school cafeteria.
Decorations were a myriad of
snowflakes which carried out
the wintry theme.
Entertainment was furnish
ed by the Shadows, Imperials
and the Bill Hannaford quar
tet.
Refreshments were served
throughout the evening.
The art display case has
been filled with paper mache

A color scheme combining
all hues will be the result of
the redecoration given the

of rose, yellow, and turquoise
are being used. Mrs. Mildred
