' 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

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

"This is not true," he warn

toxic gas that is irritating to
the mucus membrane of the
upper respiratory tract and
l in sufficient quantities can
cause headaches and dizzi

board of health information,
ozone does not control odors,
McNeil said. It merely gives
