Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins (BtstiUr and Trlbana Syndicate 11(1) These Animal. Are The Thrifty Type The saving habit has reach 1 ed a high degree of perfection in man; bank deposits attest to this fact. But few of the lower animals make any plans for putting something away for a rainy day. There are a few notable exceptions. Squirrels, especial ly the various ground squir rels as well as those that live in trees, make the storing habit almost a phobia to them It is a means of survival. Dogs occasionally bury a bone against the days of short supply. Ants, bees and a few of the other species of insects collect food against times of famine and usually not for themselves, either, but un selfishly for those of their fellows that will follow. The bee that works itself to death gathering nectar probably will be dead long before what it saved is used. Frugal ' Anti For all-around thrift and . resourcefulness and constant frugality, probably the vari ous species of ants exercise the most judgment in assur ing themselves that they and their fellows will continue to live off the fat of the land. There is ant species that stores grain, watches over it with constant care, carrying it up into the sunlight if it becomes wet and biting off the sprout ends to keep the kernels plump and fresh. There Is an ant species that raises its own food in the form of fungi. There are ants that store the nectar from flowers in the distended bod ies of some of their own hill mates. Some keep plant lice, tend them carefully and se cure from them sweet honey dew; a thin, sweetish juice relished by ants. Not fore sight or plan, just a saving habit they can't seem to neg lect or overcome. Few Birds Save A few bird species save objects but not food. In the rodent family of animals there are many that are extremely thrifty and, strangely, some that are hopelessly shiftless, making absolutely no plan for days when, if they had any judgment at all, they would know it would be a long time between meals. ' Mice, rats, gophers, beavers and muskrats all store food. The hamster accumulates more food than he and all his immediate family could cat in several years. He gets so carried away with his work that he stores so much grain he doesn't have room for himself. Yet other rodents such as the porcupine, rabbit and woodchuck, . as well as some others, never bother to lay away a smidgin of food for tomorrow's break fast or even this afternoon's lunch. Brookings Firms Adopt Fast Time Brookings - (UPD - Business and professional men here said today they would change to daylight saving time effec tive May 21.

BECHTOLD 1 New York - IUPD - Too many cooks may spoil the broth, but Trans continental Investing Corp. has shown no ad verse e f fecta from such set-up. The com - pany was or ganized last October when three young and aggres- Bechtoid s i v e real estate investors decided to join hands. President Robert K. Lifton, Ira J. Hechler and Howard L. Weingrow saw many oppor tunities available to a com pany engaged primarily in the Investment in and inte grated ownership, operation and management of office buildings, apartment develop ments, hotels, motels, and oth er Income producing real estate. Each of the three execu tives is equally versed in all phases of the company's ac tivities, giving a managament depth that is particularly rare in the highly individualistic real estate investment field. Continuing Operations The company places empha sis on continuing operations, and will sell properties when they no long provide tax shelter or when large capital gains can be realized. Its present properties are located in 15 cities and in clude two office buildings, three apartment complexes, five hotels and 10 motels. The company expects to fo cus its activli' s in four pri mary areas: The continued ac quisition and ownership of sound income producing of fice buildings, apartment houses and industrial proper ties; creation of profit through the purchase, refi nancing and sale of income properties; organisation and sponorship of promising syn dication situations; and ex pansion in the hotel field. It's this last area that repre sents a particularly promising growth field for the company, Lifton told United Press In ternational. The firm's wholly - owned Dinkier Hotel . Corp. was the result of the integration of Transcontinental's hr '1 and motel properties with the Dinkier- hotel-motel chain. Lifton said that through the acquisition - of " the Dinkier chain Transcontinental re ceived the services of the Dinkier organization which has been, in existence for more than 80 years and is noted for its outstanding man agerial ability. Major Transactions - He noted that the Dinkier reputation already has per mitted the company to under take ' management of hotel properties owned by others on a "lucrative" L.isis. Mean while, the company soon is expected to announce some major transactions that will make it a major hotel operator. The very nature of the com pany's business and geograph ical locations of its present properties really keep Lifton, Hechler and Weingrow on the move. At least one of the three is traveling around the country every week Pinny' r ' ??. ?? w v':' fill: nifc i fa " ,. r. r M If BOY AND HIS DOG-Lotroy Sakyapa, 3, member of a Tibet an holy family living in Seattle, hugs his new Tibetan ter rier pup, a gift from a kennel owner in Great Falls, Va Lotroy calls his new friend "dog."
