Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins (Register and Tribune syndicate 1961) Witness the Birth of A Baby Porpoise She was behaving in an "unporpoise" manner. Instead of coming to the surface of the water and gulping a breath of air, she cruised along on the water surface. She moved slowly and sighed heavily. Evidently that time, which we humans looked forward lo with nervous expectancy, was rapidly approaching. A baby porpoise was about to be born to the large female porpoise in the huge circular tank. Baby porpoises arrive into this watery world in a differ ent way from most other ani mals. They are born tail-first, reversing the biological order of things. Added Safety Born as they are, under water, this tail-first birth gives them an added measure of safety. If the actual birth is delayed, the reversed position gives the young an added ad vantage, preventing drowning. When birth is complete, the mother porpoise nudges the baby quickly to the water's surface, may even bunt the little guy gently in order to get the first breath into the baby's lungs. There have been instances where the mother held the baby with its head out of water until the breath was ordered and regular. In spite of the fact the warm - blooded porpoise lives its entire life in water, it will drown as readily as a human; two or three tablespoons of water will drown one as readily as the same amount would a human. The baby por poise could be drowned with only a fraction of the amount. Fascinated, we watched the birth of this healthy little 119 Speakers Set For SOC Conference Ashland - More than 500 speeches will be made by 119 speakers from 9 Oregon high schools at the 13th Annual Speech conference, Friday and Saturday at Southern Oregon college campus, ac cording to Dr. Leon C. Mull ing, founder-coordinator of the event. Along with the 86 critics, composed of professors, fac ulty wives, and townspeople, there will be 86 college stu dents serving as timekeepers, and at least 85 visitors from the participating high schools. This latter figure includes coaches, chaperones, and ad visers, Dr. Mulling said. Mulling praised the cooper ating townspeople, faculty, and members of student or ganizations, saying that with out their assistance, the event would have been impossible. Complete programs of evenls for each of the high school speech teams may be obtained in the Brill Student Center for the benefit of those wishing to attend any of the events, Dr. Mulling said.

We actually cuuld hear the gasp as the youngster got his first breath. He was 22 inches long and weighed 14 pounds. He was somewhat lighter in color than his mother. His under sides, instead of being pearly gray, like any adult bottlenose porpoise, was almost while. Removed from his mother's side to be measured and weighed, he accepted handling with a calm dignity. He al most giggled when we picked him up so we named him "Happy." Trusting Nature During the short separation, while he was away from his mother, she watched with kind and pleading eyes. Here was a trusting nature. Trust is a wonderful thing, whether it be in a human, in a dog, or a porpoise. And even more remarkable is affection. Here was a wild creature, none of whose ancestors were ever touched by a human hand. She gladly and almost joyous ly accepted human companion ship, from what to her must be a very slrange creature, a human being that lived in a world of air rather than water. Farmers Told To ile on Program To Give Kennedy Washington - lUI'll - Sharply divided farm leaders were told Thursday to stop trying to talk all at once and get together on a farm program to present to the Kennedy ad ministration. President James G. Patton of the National Farmers Union told farm policy conference delegates that in their present state of confusion they are unequipped lo deal on even terms with big business, big labor or big government. The conference, called by President Kennedy in hopes of achieving unified farm or ganization backing for steps lo bolster the agricultural economy, produced more dis cord than harmony. "This meeting proves that agriculture is so highly or ganized it is disorganized," Patton told about 350 spokes men for big and little farm groups. "We have so many voices we sound like a bab ble." Proposal Heard Following formal presenta tions of farm policy proposals by Patton and leaders uf other major farm groups, the delegates heard a proposal by Jay Taylor, former president of the American National Cat tlemen's association, that the government keep hands off the livestock business. On the other extreme, Jerome Taub, president of the U.S. Poultry and Egg association, said thai government intervention i s needed to allow poullrymen to stay in business. Charles Murphy, new un dersecretary of agriculture, told the meeting that the con ference was "just a begin ning." He said the adminis tration plans to "keep open communication with farm organizations." Service for Customer Once Again Being Stressed in Housing Industry New York - (LTD - Some post-war home buyers may find it hard to believe, but service for the customer once again is being stressed in the housing industry. There is evidence that once again the gual is not just a completed deal but a satisfied customer. For instance, a Falls Church, Va., real estate bro ker, William Fairchild, has introduced a unique new serv ice for home buyers and sell ers - a free course of inslruc- Russian Escapee Discusses Life in USSR at College Ashland - Paul Voronacff, a Russian escapee who has de voted his life to combating Communism, spoke at South ern Oregon college Wednes day on the topic, "First Hand -the Truth and the Facts of Life Behind the Iron Curtain." The talk was sponsored by Freedom Crusade," an edu cational a r m of Christian Schools, Inc. In comparing the Russian colleges to ours, Voronaeff said that only the best stu dents are selected lo go to college. The few are chosen on the basis of competitive tests, health, and importance of family. Only about eight out of 35 are able to further their education. He said he believed the ed ucational system in this coun try is on a much higher level than theirs because this coun try believes in a liberal edu cation. There is only one faith in Russia and that is Commu nism, and work for the cause of the party is their religious doctrine. The approximately 15,000 Christians living in Moscow find litlle sanctuary, for 98 per cent of their churches are closed, wrecked, or destroyed. Future of Country "Children are more or less the property of the stale," Voronaeff said, "as Commu nists realize that the children are the future of their coun try." Only about 4 million Rus sian people are actually mem bers of the Communist party. Of the others, many are not party members but provide services for the Communists and are depended upon by Khrushchev. To visitors in Moscow, it may not seem as bad as it really is, for they are only allowed lo see certain areas around the city, and these are the best. One does not see the sickness, poverty and sad ness that also lie within Moscow. We can help keep Commu nism out of the United States by listening to speeches, lec tures, reading, and finding out all we can about the evils of Communism, Voronaeff stated. Born in Russia, Voronaeff was brought to America at an early age. Some years later his family returned to Russia and Eastern Europe, and his parents were arrested for do ing Christian missionary work. They were exiled and sent to Siberia, but Voronaeff, at this time, was attending the University of Moscow. He was also arrested and spent a term as a slave laborer in Siberia. For more than two years, he was treated like an animal, and finally escaped and fled from Russia. Since his return to Amer ica, he had dedicated his life to exposing the evils of Com munism and telling the Amer ican people what he knows first hand. Voronaeff has also made a study of Communist methods and tactics and has an extremely perceptive in sight into the political aspects of this struggle with atheistic Communism. lo acquaint uiem various steps and Willi p lo tion the cedures involved Aware that the layman is likely to be completely un equipped to cope with buying selling a home. Fairchild felt the lectures, open to any interested person, would serve both to educate the home-buying public and, at the same time, lo creale good will for the real estate business. He said public response has been overwhelming. Uses Motion Pictures A scries of lectures, supple mented with slides and mo tion pictures, is being con ducted by Richard L. Stanton, who has taught real estate at various universities and cur rently is with the U.S. Navy as a real estate expert. Stan ton, using his own unedited material in the interests of ob jectivity, covers topics such as buying vs. renting; explan ation of real estate terms; how lo finance your home: tips on construction, and the various steps through settlement. Cooperating with Fairchild the program are Virginia builders Vincent A. Mangano and Mario E. Yederlinic of Mar-Built Homes, Inc. They will conduct tours of various of their homes under construc tion and point out various home building techniques SHOWS IMPROVEMENT West Los Angeles, Calif. - lUPli - Comodlnn Mel Blanc. 52, the man who supplied the voices for such cartoon char acters as Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig, was showing con tinued Improvement today from injuries received in an auto collision. that can be spotted by the lay man when judging homes. Community Coordinator Another instance: Builder Saul Canto in his 2.000-homc "packaged community," Sayre Woods South in Madison township, N.J., lias installed a c o m munity coordinator "to make residents feci at home, to help them overcome their feeling of strangeness in a new environment." Coordinator Mrs. Cassie Fisher says of her job: "My office is like a dentist's wait ing room - six deep. New comers are barely settled bo fore they rush to me with all sorts of problems." Mrs. Fisher helps families get children speedily trans ferred into new schools, in forms residents of available medical services, sets up car pools, organizes clubs and so cial groups of all types, ar ranges home-car courses (gar dening, funiiture-i'cfinishing, heating-system operation, etc.) and adult education classes in cooperation with Rutgers uni versity; oven puts families who wish to adopt a baby in touch with the proper authori ties. Another of her jobs is pub lication of a monthly news letter which keeps residents posted on goings-on in the community, points out nearby places of interest to visit, in forms newcomers on such mailers as voter registration and functions as a service information exchange anrl buyers' and sellers' mart among residents.
