Sometimes Willie wo u d help the turtle get to the other side of the road. He would then put the animal down, purposely hfdlng the reptile in the opposition direc tion to that which it was originally headed. The turtle would turn and resume its chosen path.

Th'u Willie believed to be true, for he had often plcKed me iuru .,n nri headed it In some other direction but it would i .Jwayi blunder around and resume lis original coiuse ... the exact direction U had de cided on. Marking carefully in his mind the exact direction the turtle was headed, Willie would pick it up and turn it i around several times, then place it again on the ground. The turtle would flounder for a few minutes, then head out on its true course. N.ar-SighUd Vnnwinff the turtle clan to be terribly near-sighted Willie wondered if it saw oDjecis a few yards away and guided itself by them, so he devised a blindfold. Placing a black cloth mask over a turtle's eyes. Willie would "swing it round and round" several times and place 11 again on the grounds. There would be a few mo ments of hesitation. Seldom would the turtle attempt to dig the mask off (he accepted it as Just "on. of those things".) It might start off at an oblique angle for a few yards but gradually it would set back on its orlainal course. The bearing, however It was handled by its Inner reflexes, worked whether it could see or not. The turtle always headed out toward whatever destination it had previously selected. 4-H News DENNIS WHOLE -CHICKED .:, OH BOY FROZEN STUFFED POTATOES 3-lb. 4-oz. Can J) 12-OZ. PKG.
