It would be difficult to find
two tru. and fut frlendt to
dissimilar in iUture, habit,
and characteristics than the
two feathered eharacteri who
came to live with a lady whose
home it located on an inland
bay, protected on the water
aide by a cement seawall. One
is a tea gun, tne otner an
American egret, commonly
and rightly called a white
heron.
One la tall, atandlng nearly
three feet in hii bare feet,
. and stately; the other is short
. -almost squat. A ridiculous
- combination to be so closely
, associated.
"Mutt and Jeff' would
. have been a natural descrlp
tion as far as names apply to
bodily size, but the lady who
lives in the seaside house de
cided against it. They were
two different species of bird,
so she compromised by nam-
.;... lng them, He and Her, and as
far as she is concerned they
ran h aither sex.
i Sitting Sid. by Sid.
The two birds had come
first to the seawell at the
. same time. When , the lady
went outdoors, ' there they
approached them with cau
tion, expecting them to hurl
. themselves into the air and
fly away over the water. But
they didn't. In fact they bare
ly moved as the lady came
within a foot of them.
She talked in a low voice.
. They cocked their heads as
If interested in what she was
saying. That began the friend
ship between the lady, the
gull and the heron-a friend
ship that is now in its fourth
year.- . '
The gull and the heron
doze, side by side, even touch
ing one another, on the sea
wall hour after hour. When
the lady leaves the house and
calls to them, they stretch
their wings and legs, straight
en up and walk to where she
; la standing. For the entire
tltviA ihm lflriv animHr. In tier
yard, her two strange corn
cantons follow her like a nair
of docile dogs, always Just
few feet behind.
Watch With Interest
If she reaches down to pull
weed or straighten a plant,
they watch with interest, and
always ready to follow when
she moves her position.
Even more peculiar , than
the bond of friendship that
exists between the two birds,
is their willingness to obey
"the lady. She calls quietly. If
they are out fishing some
where, she may call three or
more times, but within min
utes they hear and they
come, winging hurriedly In
to rest on the seawall, or
even on the foot of the chaise
lounge. '-
Eagerly they accept food
from her hand. She pur
chases small fish from bait
peddlers or from small boys
who come frequently to see
these tame, wild things, do
mesticated by a lady's charm
With utmost care the two
birds take the fish from her
fingers, always being careful
not to grab too quickly or
injure the hand that feeds
them. s

Administration
To Ask Funds for
Educational TV
Washington - (UN) - The ad
ministration will soon ask
Congress to put up money for
promotion of educational tele
vision on a nationwide scale;
Secretary Abraham Rlblcoft
said today.
The secretary of health,
education and welfare (HEW)
outlined plans for giving edu
cational TV a shot in the arm
in a speech prepared for de
livery to the National Associ
ation of Broadcasters (NAB). .
Riblcoff said educational -television
has "exciting possi
bilities" as an adjunct to
classroom instruction. It could
also "focus sustained national
attention on our music, our
arts, our literature and
drama."
Increase Public Service
Echoing Newton M 1 n o w,
chairman of the Federal Com
munications Commission
(FCC) who addressed the
NAB convention Tues day,
Riblcoff also urged commer
cial TV stations to increase
their public service program
ming. ;
The administration has
"conscientiously r e viewed',
the possibilities of education
al TV, Riblcoff said, and will
present a program to Con
gress on May 17. "We believe
that federal funds should be
available on a matching
basis,'' he said, "to enable
states and localities to further
the use our nation has thus
far made of television' in its
educational processes." ,
Funds for Equipment
These funds to go help in
the planning of educational
TV and in purchasing equip
ment, he said.
Riblcoff said his depart
ment would also accelerate its
present work in the educa
tional TV field.
He said experimentation
and demonstration projects
would be stepped up in. order
to pool accumulated exper
ience "on a national basis."

Production of
Red Meat Close
To Level of 1960
Washington (UPD The Agri
cultural Department said to
day red meat production like
ly will be close to or above
last year's levels during the
remainder of 1961.:
. Although a small gain in
output Is expected In 1961
over 1960, it probably will
provide consumers with about
a pound less meat per person
this year because of popula
tion growth, the department
said in its publication, "The
Livestock and Meat Situs-tion."
Meat production - this win
ter was 2 per cent below
year earlier, due primarily to
lower pork output.
Prices Hold Steady
Meat animal prices have)
held steady this year in con
trast to an advence early last
year. In, early spring, prices
of most classes of cattle,
calves and lambs were below
a year earlier, but hog prices
were above last spring.
For 1961, cattle and hog
prices probably will show un
usual stability with cattle
prices averaging close to last
year- Hog prices will be be
low prices a year .earlier this
fall but the year's average
likely will be above 1960
prices. Sheep and lamb prices
probably will average lower '
than a year before.
The department said cash
receipts received by farmers
from the sale of meat animals
in 1960 totaled $10.6 billion,
3 per cent less than in 1999.
Marketings of cattle and
calves and sheep and lambs
were larger than in 1959.
