Is at least partly personal
and highly individual.
Like peas in a pod that are
never exactly alike, fence
posts, too, are all different
from one another.
.'; Just walk slowly along a
fence, stopping for a moment
at several individual posts,
and look at them carefully.
It will be a unique but never
theless broad field of research,
for there are thousands of
posts on any good-sized farm,
and each and every one of
them has a story to tell if
only you can read it.

no two are ever alike in size.

In spite of them being us

will almost seem to undulate.
At the four corners of the
field were the anchor posts,
much stouter and larger than
the common run of fence
posts. These were securely
braced, and acted as the im
movable objects" upon which
the entire length of the wire
depended for support. If the
anchor gave way, the whole
fence sagged disconsolately,
and all the smaller posts lean
ed in the direction of the pull,
On some of the posts grew
a green tapestry of poison
ivy. Around the base of each
grew weeds and grass. In
these tiny tangles a wide as
sortment of small creatures
had their homes.
Posts Perforated
Some posts were perforat
ed with knotholes and worm
holes, in which lived half a
hundred varieties of insects.
Termites and wood boring in
sects were always busy, un
der the bark if there was
bark, or under the ground or
in the crevices.
Woodpeckers visited the
rows of posts at regular in
tervals, catching those insects
who carelessly exposed them
selves. In some posts the wood
peckers may have made a nest
cavity. In some, numerous
families of small birds have
first seen the light of day.
Fence posts, too, are the
handiest places in the world
for wild birds to take a rest;
they figure the posts are there
for vantage spots from which
they may watch what goes on
in the meadow or the field.
The wise bird is always
conscious of the fact that no
two posts are alike; that each
has an individuality all its
own.
SKIERS CATCH UP Wolverine Bowl In
picturesque Alpine Meadows near Tahoe,
City, Calif., is the scene of this photo as a
skier takes a chair lift and surveys the 17
foot snowpack that covers the mountain. A
boom year for skiers and resort owners, the
winter skiing that was missed becaue of
storms will be more than made up with
spring skiing as long as the outstanding pack
lasts. (UPI)

Subcommittee on
Divorce Criticizes
Filmland Couples
Salem-flJPD-A divorce sub
committee of the Oregon Leg
islature Thursday condemned
Hollywood marriages and an
Oregon circuit judge sharply
rapped Mrs. Nelson Rockefel
ler's recent divorce from New
York's governor.
The divorce subcommittee,
an arm of Oregon's Interim
Committee on Social Prob
lems, passed a resolution
criticizing the movia industry
and blaming it for the pre
valence of divorce and fast re
marriages in Hollywood.
Efforts Thwarted
"Meaningful efforts, such as
ours, to stem this injurious
tide of broken homes Is
thwarted when the motion
picture industry is complacent
about divorce for the motion
picture is recognized as hav
ing a significant influence in
molding opinion," the resolu
tion said.
The subcommittee is work
ing to improve Oregon's di
vorce laws.
The subcommittee said it de
plores the apparent absence of
the action on the part of the
motion picture industry in
this subject and the willing
ness of the media of reporting
to lend itself to this socially
inimical end."
State Sen. Carl Francis
(R - Dayton), subcommittee
chairman, said the statement
was prompted by news stories
of various divorces, including
the Elizabeth Taylor-Eddie
Fisher announcement.
Claimed Residency
Clackamas County Circuit
Judge Ralph Holman, Oregon
City, critizied Mrs. Rockefel
ler's divorce in Nevada. He
said that during the trial she
said she was a Nevada resi
dent and intended to remain
one. But an hour after the di
vorce was granted, she flew
to Philadelphia, he said.
Holman said marriage and
divorce laws should be tight
ened and made uniform na
tionally. Joining in the criticism of
Hollywood, State Rep. Grace
Peck (D-Portland) said that
when Hollywood stars get
new mates, "they aren't new,
they are just new to them.
They're mostly shopworn,"
she declared.
