Place an alligator in an up right position, forget or over look the tail, and you will be surprised to notice how human-like the body is, the fore paws being equivalent to our arms. The same similarity exists between man and frog. Even a turtle, viewed from the front and upright, can represent pretty accurately a very broad fat man. Arm-Like Wings The same condition is evi dent with nearly all animals, with the exception of snakes and insects. Even with birds, the wings are arm-like. The flippers of the whale, por poise, seal and sea lipn are all modified arms, unfortu nately, of course, without the fingers or the hands that make the human arms so adaptable. With the porpoise's native intelligence it is rather startling to think what the animal could have accomplish ed had it been equipped with opposable thumbs. The fingernails of the hu man hand are little different, either in purpose or actual use, than the claws of the cat, dog or any other animal. Even the claws of the bird are similar. The dog with only four fingers on the paw has another one, thumblike but not opposable, farther up on the leg. It's really a rudimen tary remainder of a thumb, but it has lost its usefulness. The wings of a bird are really arms, feather-covered and of course, very useful as far as the bird is concerned. And strangely enough, each wing has a "not so reason able" facsimile of a thumb. Next time you "pick" a chick en notice the "little thumb" at the end of each wing; never fear it will be there and it s a "thumb," the nearest thing to a thumb the chicken can ever possess. Imagine, a thumb but no fingers. of the feet. But feet and pnws are so interchangeable they answer the animal's purpose, whatever we call them. All paws, flippers, fins or wings, as well as hands, are according to plan and all are adaptable to some consider able degree. All are marvels of creation; all organs ci touch, prehension or locomo tion; all with highly special ized muscles, capable of start ling adaptations, and similar to hands and feet; all serving their owners for the purpose intended; all these "cotton picking flippers, paws or wings."

This advice, she explained, has been the guide for the we I world-famous Trapp Family Singers. The speaker, now inn keeper at the Trapp Family lodge at Stowe, Vl., reviewed the history of her family. Young Maria, a novitiate in Austria, was loaned by the convent to the household of widower Baron Gcorg von Trapp as governess for his seven motherless children. Married the Father "I fell in love with the chil dren and married the father," the baroness explained. Their singing was only a hobby, she continued, until Father Franz Wasner, chap lain at the family's estate chapel, encouraged them to sing a cappclla. The speaker told how the family fled Austria in 1938, "hiking" out of the country leaving behind their ancestral ing into a livelihood, they had to move to France, Hol land, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, before they had saved enough money to sail for the United States. Reviews Trips Baroness von Trapp re viewed their many coast-lo-coasl and foreign tours und how in 1942. when visiting Vermont which reminded them of their native Austria, they purchased a 700-acre farm. The Alpine-styled home they built had 144 window boxes. The Trapp family's latest project is fighting commu nism in the South Pacific is lands. The Baroness told of their visits to the various is lands talking with the mis sionaries to find out what could be done. It was during this trip that Father Wasner stayed in Fiji Island to train the natives, who will in turn visit the other islands to spread Christianity. People Too Busy The Baroness said that many people are too busy with themselves to think of others. She concluded with the last line of the final song of the Broadway play. "The Sound of Music," which is about the Trapp family, "Love isn't love until you give it away." After her talk, the Baroness told of her lodge in Vermont at the request of Otto Frohn mayor, club president. Mrs. Gilbert Parker, a guest of the John S. Days from Australia, presented the speaker with a kangaroo pin, thanking her for "all the nice things you said about Aus tralia." The speaker was intro duced by Mrs. Jack Crawford.
