Largely on the hot second half shooting of Art Easterly and Jim Altenhofen, Portland pulled to within two points at 56-54 with less than three min utes to play. Then Miles got hot.

Did you ever hear of a cat developing stomach ulcers, in spite of the expression, "as nervous as a cat"? Ever hear of feline hypertension? Nev er. And all in spile of the well established biological fact that the members of the family of animals known collectively as felines are normally high strung and inclined to be more than a little nervous. The cat accomplishes tran quility, good health and an easy - life by adhering to a rigid program of complete re laxation: by never letting any thing interfere with frequent rest periods. She does this so perfectly that the expression "cat-nap" has come to mean any short sleep. Never Hurries A cat never hurries her meals, regardless of how hun gry she happens to be. She may not plan it but she allows herself about so much time for short naps. Sleep, to a dog or a cat, or most any animal, is as important as food. In fact any of these animals could prob ably live longer without food than they could without sleep. i - 1 565 E.

We're Lighting a Candle on SEARS Big DIAMOND JUBILEE BIRTHDAY CAKE SO-We're Open 'Till 9 Tonight ! WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1961 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins (Hcgisler and Tribune syndicate, 1961) Sleep is something that even the biologist, doctor or lay man knows little about; it h::s been called the "little death," and for good reason. I'. is the subject of endless debate. Ev eryone admits sleep is of the utmost importance, but aside from that we haven't got very far with a complete under standing of it. The cat that sleeps in a re laxed heap in your home and her wild cousin in the jungle, always nap after a full meal. At such times all animals be come sleepy, and they all know enough to seek out a comfortable place and doze off; it seems to be a natural result of a full stomach. Man himself feels the same way, but usually fights it off and hurries off to his next assignment. Ho has to hurry, in spite of the fact he actually is not going anywhere. Even fish and snakes, who can never close their eyes, spend many hours in slumber. The fish slows down his bod ily activity, comes to rest, and dozes. Keep a fish awake for a long time and it becomes nervous; if the experiment is kept up, the fish will die. THURS.-FRI.-SAT.

This is an an nual affair and permits stu dents on the patrol to learn more about traffic safety. The safety patrol is on duty both mornings and evenings at the Lore Pine-Brookdale in tersections. Patrol members are Patrick Wickersham, Capt. Bobby Stearns, Adclle Chis um, Carolyn DeWeerd, Terry Grover, Karen Stinger and Judy Chisum. Birds make a regular ritual of sleep. They take frequent "birdnaps" throughout t h e day; every afternoon, especial ly during hot weather, every bird retires t, what it hopes is a safe place, closes its eyes, and sleeps. And birds, too, have escaped the discomfort of stomach ulcers or nervous disorders. It's impossible for most of us to watch a fish, a raccoon, or even a horse or cow, but most folks can watch a cat, dog or parakeet; these crea tures all have good sense they sleep at frequent inter vals. They never hurry, but who wants to play host to a colony of stomach ulcers or jumpy nerves? The line forms right behind the guy with the twitching muscles and the nervous stomach.
