W ATKINS (Refiltei jnd Tribune Syndicate 1962) ' Yeu GuaiMd it - Chimney j Swtfti Prefer Chimneyt j Having feet and legs but not being able to walk is no handl ! cap for the bird commonly called the "chimney awift." There was a peculiar old belief that this bird is colored like smoke because of the habitat in which it lives. Up until a few hundred years ago the swift lived and nested in hollow trees, but later found an unused chimney just as good, if not better. The hollow tree would seem better than the inside of a dirty chimney, but the smoke-colored chim ney swift seems to prefer chimneys. There's just no ac counting for the preference of some people - or some birds. Any deserted house or abandoned factory whose smokestack is left standing becomes a focal point for all the chimney swifts in the neighborhood. Specially-Built Tail The chimney swift has the tall for chimney living. On the end of each tail feather is a spinelike process that wedges into the crevices of a brick chimney or the inside nf a hollow tree, enabling the bird to hitch Itself slowly up in a series of jerks. Somewhat different from the stiff tail- feathers of the woodpecker, the swift's feathers are spine tipped - more spur-like than prop-like. About the only part In the weak feet and legs play In locomotion is to hold on for a second while the spines in the 1 ail grip the surface. On a flat surface (he poor thing can j hardly walk at all. The chimney swift is close ly related to the humming bird but looks more like the swallow. The swift has long, pointed wings, and is known to travel speedily and grace fully. Some observers claim the bird easily does 60 miles an hour - probably one rea son why part of the common name is "swift." Four Special There arc at least four species of swift in North America. They feed entirely on inspcts caught in the air while the bird is in full flight. The chimney swift plasters lis peculiar little nest against the inner wall of the chimney or nn the wood of the hollow tree. It's a shelf-like structure composed of small sticks and twigs, mixed with saliva pro duced by the bird. Into the nrst are deposited four or five white eggs. Early in the fall, the chim ney swifts leave tor their winter home in South Ameri ca, usually preceding other migrant birds in their south ward flight. But they will return - late the following spring after the robins and some of the others have arrived and when Insectj are again available - to take Material Is Being Collected for Fair Produce and material if now heing collected tor Jack on county's booth at the Ore gon State Fair in Salem be ginning Aug. 31. For the past six years, the Jackson County Pomona Grange has hern in charge of the booth, according to Master Robert Bitterling. Bitterling said the commit tee, headed by Delmar Smith of Central Point, is now mak ing final plans for the booth. Dee Hcndrickson is in charge of the land products display. Anyone who has produce they would like to display at the fair has been asked to contact either Smith or Hcn drickson. Fruit, grain and veg etables are among the accep table producls. Produce must he received at the Crater Rock mucum in Central Point by noon Tuesday. Aug. 28 Trans portation trom there is provided. up residence again in the hol low tree or an unused chimney. WW II, Korean Veterans Still May Get Loans World War II and Korean Conflict veterans still have many years in which to apply for state veterans' loans, de spite rumors to the contrary, according to Elmer W. Dona hoo, Jackson county veterans' officer. The deadline for World War II veterans to apply for a state loan is Jan. 31, 1980, and for Korean Conflict vet erans, the deadline is Jan. 31, 1988, he said. Entitlement to a federal GI home, farm or business loan expired for an estimated 25 per cent of World War II vet erans July 25, according to the Veterans administration. For example, this deadline ap plied to an ex-serviceman who was released from active duty early in 1944 after two years of service. Can Compute Deadline A veteran can compute his own deadline by adding 10 years to his date of discharge and an additional year for each three months of war service, Donahoo said. To meet the deadline in con nection with a loan by a priv ate, lender, the VA must re ceive the loan application from the lender before the veteran's expiration date. The VA has advised lenders that it will consider an application to have been filed on time if it was received by the VA prior to the expiration of the veteran's entitlement, provid ed the application has been properly executed by the lend er and the veteran, he said. The VA told, the lenders that if the supporting docu ments which usually accom pany an application cannot be obtained and submitted to the VA prior to the exypiration of the borrower's enitlement, the application may be sub mitted without the supporting documents. In such cases the VA office will defer action on the application pending re ceipt of the supporting papers, Donahoo said. A veteran who plans to pur chase a home in a VA direct loan area will have his dead line extended one year by ad dressing an informal letter of application to the Portland regional office of the Veter ans administration, provided the request is received before his loan entitlement expires. Direct loans are not made in Multnomah and Washing ton counties, and only for farms in Clackamas, Marion and Linn counties. Other areas excluded are Lane coun ty except for the coastal fringe, Polk county east of Pacific Highway West, and the city of Klamath Falls. Regardless of service pe riod, a veteran or his widow Training Sessions Start for Crusade Ten speakers and five train ers met Friday morning for the first training session for the United Crusade speaker's bureau. Adam Richtcr, 1961 UC campaign chairman, conduc ted the session. Clubs desiring speakers to explain the UC have been asked to contact Harold Cook, executive secre tary, at 773-4287. Several division chairmen have obtained all of their sec tion heads, according to Rob ert D. Hcffernan, UC cam paign chairman. They include Robert E. Nelson, forest pro ducts; J. Russell Acheson, pub lic employees; Robert F. Kyle, retail; Robert L. Dill, distribu tion; and Wynne P. Grier, service. ; , Training sessions for the section heads have already been held and solicitors are now being recruited. Kick-off breakfast for the Crusade will be Sept. 17 at the Elks club.

Eligibility of those who served during the Korean con flict does not begin to expire until Jan. 31, 1964, Donahoo noted. an old story. Peddlers often work on nursing homes and old people who are sometimes led to believe these generators are healthful and may cure a number of ills. McNeil no ted. "This is not true," he warn ed. According to the state board of health, ozone is a toxic gas that is irritating to the mucus membrane of the upper respiratory tract and l in sufficient quantities can cause headaches and dizzi ness. According to the state board of health information, ozone does not control odors, McNeil said. It merely gives the appearance of odor con trol by dulling the odor per ceptive senses. "We are apprehensive." Mc Neil said, "that a few of these generators have been peddled i in the area and are in use at the present time.
