Las Vegas Judie Davis, 31-year-old secretary who was
mmdea in a car accident 10 years ago but still leads an

Washington Rep. Roman C. Pucinski (D-Ill.), who pre

and in impressing the uncommitted and especially the un
developed nations."
Washington Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman on
U.S. farm productivity:
"If we turned loose all the productivity of American
agriculture overnight, prices would break maybe 30, 40. 50
per cent. It would mean, as far as the producers are con

. . . About Education in United States
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
Things you (maybe) didn't
know about education in the
U.S.A.:
Hauling kids to and from
school has become a major in
dustry. A U. S. Office of Ed
ucation survey shows, that
more than 176,000 buses are
now being operated by public
school districts across the na
tion. They transport more
than 12 million children on
daily round-trips from home
to school.
The annual cost of operat
ing this "great yellow fleet"
(leaving out the cost of buying
the buses) is nearly $450 mil
lion. One interesting fact: even
today, nearly two-thirds of
the children get to school on
foot, on bikes or in private
car pools.
English is taught as a "for
eign" or second language in
thousands of U.S. schools.
New York City schools, for
example, serve a population
in which one out of every ten
persons speaks English as his
native tongue. An estimated
45,000 Indian students in fed
eral schools come from homes
where English is spoken rare
ly, if at all. Texas educates
nearly 500,000 Spanish-speaking
school children, mostly of
Mexican heritage. In some
communities of Maine, 90 per
Two Area Youths

last year's Boys State group.

Boys State a year ago and as
such was one of the two Ore

Nation in Washington, D. C.
He is student body president

A study by the National
Academy of Sciences shows
that the northeastern states
outstrip the rest of the coun
try, by almost 50 per cent in
the production of Ph.D.s. The
middle Atlantic states are sec
ond, with the east south cen
tral states in last place. The
same study shows that Ph.D.s
in science are twice as likely
to come from large high
schools as from small ones.
This finding corroborates the
common-sense conclusion that
well-equipped scientific labor
atories which are found in
nearly all large high schools
but very few small ones con
tribute greatly to the stim
ulation of a career interest in
science.
In 1957 (before sputnik)
only 18 U.S. high schools of
fered courses in Russian. To
day, nearly 600 do. The num
ber of colleges teaching Rus
sian has increased from 175
to 480 in the same period.
But Spanish remains the
most popular modern foreign
language in American schools.
It is studied by 8.8 per cent
of all students. Six per cent
of our students take French.
1.2 per cent study German,
and three-tenths of one per
cent are enrolled in Italian
classes.
Nearly one-fourth of Amer
ica's school teachers believe
that television is having a "se
rious" effect on children's
homework. Almost 60 per
cent of the teachers polled by
the National Education asso
ciation research division said
TV-watching "restricts study
time, but not to a serious ex
lent." Only 13 per cent held
that the TV has no effect on
study habits.

Winter 1960-61
This is the last seasonal column that I will be writing,
since we expect to move about May 1. I gave my last bird
talk to the Natural History club this week and mentioned
some of the birds that I will miss because they are found
here but not In the Salem-Portland area to which we are
moving.
One I will miss the most is the plain titmouse, little gray
bird with a crest that has been around our place here all the
time we have lived here, coming to the feeders In the winter,
nesting in a hole in an oak tree each spring. Another is the
brown towhee, also very friendly and familiar about the
place during several seasons.
Another bird that lives in our valley and not much to
the north of here is the tricolored blackbird. I should have
said "birds" because this species flocks together In large
numbers. Two summers we found their nesting colonies with
a couple of thousand birds or so, a notable sight as the birds
fly in and out of it.
The fourth bird I will miss is the acorn woodpecker,
so abundant and conspicuous in this valley among the oak
trees that furnish its favorite food and the power poles that
provide a favorite storage place for the acorns. They are
a cheery bird. They seem to enjoy chasing each other around
at certain seasons. They often dart out into the air after
insects to supplement their acorn diet.
The winter was a mild one, but we haven't many unusual
observations. Our Christmas count was the most successful
ever. We recorded 88 species. My own part in this began
with phenomenal luck, the kind you dream about but don't
expect to have. I heard jays making a fuss and found a great
horned owl just a half block from our house. There were
nine scrub jays and one Steller's jay squawking around it.
The rough-legged hawks, apparently a pair, remained
around the valley through the winter, but I think they have
gone north now. On the day of the Christmas count I had a
particularly good view of one of them. It was very light in
color, almost whitish on the head. .
I suppose cinnamon teal were the earliest spring migrants.
We saw some Jan. 23. You can't call that spring, but they
weren't around in the earlier part of the winter. We saw the
first tree swallows Feb. 13. That day we saw two. By the
27th the number had built up to 60 by the Game Commission
pond and on March 6, J. H. estimated 800 on the wires at the
same place.
The rainy weather we have had in late winter and early
spring has not been good for bird migration, or for seeing
them when they do come in. I saw turkey vultures on a trip
to the Willamette Valley but haven't seen them in our valley
yet, I haven't seen a hummingbird yet either.
Since I am leaving I thought it would be a good idea
to go through my notes and compile a list of all the birds
I have seen in Jackson county in the seven years we have
been here. It came to an even 200. I made notes to Indicate
how often I had seen each species and in what places. I
filed one list with Dr. Franklin Sturgcs at Southern Oregon
college and one with George Alderson al the Oregon Audu
bon society. Students often like to know what birds other
observers have seen at a given period.
Some of the most Interesting observations came because
of information given by people who read this column during
the year that I wrote it on a weekly basis. Among these were
the mockingbird and Alien s hummingbird. &o 1 want to
thank again the Mail Tribune for giving me this space, and
the many readers of the column who have phoned in their
information or their questions.
My stay in this valley has been a very happy one because
of my work relationships and also because of my hobby. It
is a fine place to study birds. The valley and mountains offer
great variety of habitat. We are likely to gel stray visitors
from nearby California. Early spring records, or late fall
ones, are easy to get because of being farthest south in the
slate.
Another nice thing has been the companions I have had
in pursuing my hobby. My Monday morning trips with Maj.
Gen. J. H. Hicks have been among my greatest pleasures,
and there are other good birding friends loo numerous to
mention. Luckily for me, my favorite of all birding compan
ions, named Virginia, will be going with me to other fields.
We won't be going far away, but until we meet again we
wish for you all the companionship of many birds, brightly
plumagcd and sweetly singing. T.M.
