OREGON fT Worlds I: Yii Around 4 v Us LAW 1W& Watkint (Ri filter Trlbnna SjndlciU, 11121 With the F!lcker-It Wii Eat New and Par Lain In ( long, looping flight sort of a yo-yo motion, the yellow shafted flicker tailed through the edge of the wood' land. Suddenly he swooped upward from the low point of his undulating flight-curve and came to rest against the vertical side of a large tree. Evidently the landing was not accidental, the bird sharp eyes had detected moving column of large, black, wood ants ascending and descending the tree trunk. In a ragged line, up and down the vertical trunk, the insects moved; one line going up, the other line moving down. Evidently a scout-ant had located a store of food and the members of the col ony had moved out of their tree cavity to secure the food The in-coming f I i c ' e r had seen the moving line from afar and now he straggled the marching column. Ants were his dish. No Waiting The bird didn't wait to survey the situation, but went right to work grabbing one ant after another, pinch lng the insect severely just once and then swallowing it. ' Every few minutes he would hunch himself up, always fol lowing the straggling line, eating as he went. The interested human ob server was a d v a ntageously located. The line of marching Insects, as well as the hungry bird were all In plain sight, right on his side of the tree. The man was close enough to count the insects as they dis appeared down the bird's throat. With every six Inch hump upward the bird had a fresh supply in front of his darting bill. The stupid ants, not knowing what all the excite ment was about, pursued their scent trails, ignoring the dart ' ing hill until it snatched them off the rough tree trunk. On-Way Trip Sixty-seven ants, the man counted, all on the one-way trip down. Some of the ants must have survived and those that did perhaps kept right on marching, probably not even aware that they were no Ion ger on the tree, it had all happened so fast. The bird's body Juices would rapidly still any ants who continued to march, but because the bird gobbled so many so fast there must have been many who survived for a short while. That there was a battle be tween the birds and the ants on the inside was evidenced by the bird's twitching, and at times actual leaps off the tree trunk. A marching or kicking ant is something to be reck oned with. The last couple of ants the bird swallowed had to be gulped down. It was an ef fort. Hopping up into a conven ient tree crotch, the bird closed its eyes. He was satis fied, but maybe there were a couple of ants still active, for the flicker twitched violently every little while until com plete anaesthesia rendered them immobile. 25 HS Teachers to Attend Institute fcugene - From a total of 500 applicants, 25 high school teachers from throughout the United States have been se lected as participants In the national Science Foundation sponsored Summer Institute In Biological Science at the University of Oregon. ur.

B 3 $700 Million Said Lost Each Year By Carelessness New York IDPII From the past fortnight's news it could appear that the stock market could be used to lose money as well as to make it. but a survey discloses that many Americans today don't need any help in shedding cash. Their money disappears at home, at the office, on the road, at work and at play be fore it's spent. Someone may help it disappear; fire, flood, mice may do away with it. But while the paper values of the losses or gains in the stock market are figured usu ally in billions in a single day's trading, cash losses ac cording to the survey come to $700,000 a year; money that disappears before the owners have time to spend it or put it to work. The survey was made at the request oft he American Ex press Co. by the Gallup or ganization in association with Opinion Research Corp. Carelessness Factor "In most instances," it said, perhaps unnecessarily, "care lessness is a factor ... it can be said that virtually every person who handles money is subject to some loss at some time or other." The findings did not con cern themselves with chil dren; the survey was con ducted among adults, and it reported that one out of 11 adult Americans, or 9 per cent of the population of 21 years or over, lost a sum of cash during the year-average, $75. Nearly 1,250,000 persons lost $200 or more. "College ducated men and women seem most loss-prone," the researchers found. "More than one out of every six had a loss during the year." Their losses were more than twice as frequent as those among persons educated only in grammar schools, and a little less than twice those with high school educations. On the Air By ELEANOR WIEBE A group of doctors in Ugan da, British East Africa, are hard on the trail of a mosquito hat may lead to a major breakthrough in the search for a virus that causes can cer In humans. Their 'story will be told on "Breakthrough: Cancer Vi rus" Friday at 8:30 p.m. on KMED-TV. Dr. Denis Burkitt and his associates, a ware ot an unusually high incidence of cancer in children in tropi cal Africa, made a 10,000-mile safari to gather information and found that the dis"? oc curred only In areas where the temperatures never fell below 60 degrees. The doctors made a map of the incidence of the cancer found that it was almost iden tical with a similar map for mosquito-borne yellow fever. They are now conducting studies to check the possibil ity that the disease may be caused by a virus transmitted by a mosquito or some similar insect. The program will also re port on other research being conducted for cancer-causing viruses, at the National Can-. ccr Institute in Washington, the University of Pennsyl vania School of Veterinary Medicine, the Institute des Re searches du Cancer in Paris, nd at Cook County Jail In Chicago. Dr. Wendell M. Stanley, winner of a Nobel Prize for his research on viruses and di rector of the University of California virus laboratory, comments on questions of whether some human cancers will prove to be caused by viruses, whether anti-cancer vaccines can be developed. and whether , curative drugs can be found to treat other forms of cancer.
