MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON FRIDAY. MARCH 15. 1963 Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Register and Tcibum Syndicate, 193) Tht Enemy Below Scares, The Enemy Above Catenas He knew they were after him. There was no point in looking back, so he concen trated all his propulsive pow ers to attain the necessary speed whereby he could leave his watery home and glide for a brief spell in the air in sim ulated flight. It is his one means of escaping when a predator fish is right "on his tail" and coming fast. The flying fish shoots out of the water, spreads his elon gated pectoral fins and goes into his power-glide on a slightly downhill angle. If he is lucky enough to have a favoring tailwind of any force at all, he can coast for a con siderable distance, often as far as a quarter mile. He fond ly hopes, if a flying fish can entertain any hope, that while he is airborne his enemy will be outdistanced or discour aged. Most times he is success ful and he lives to fly another day. Other times, he falls afoul in definite disaster. Millpend-Smooth The day we were watching the "flying fishes play," the sea was as smooth as the pro verbial millpond. The boat, its motor stilled, rose lazily on the long swells and sank back again when the impulse sub aided. A flash of silver, close by or some distance away, marked the spot where a fly ing fish would erupt from the sea to sail for a brief time in the sunlight. Funny that on such a seem ingly peaceful day there chould be so much violence just below the tranquil sur face, as one larger fish con stantly attempted to overtake and eat a smaller fish. We could picture in our mind's eye the struggle for survival that went on constantly but a few feet from us. We knew predator fish were close on the frantic flying fish, causing them to shoot upward out of the water and sail away on stiffened wings. Some erupted from the sea and attained a height of several feet before they leveled off on a slightly downward glide toward some invisible spot where their glide path coincided with the surface of the sea. Explode From Water We happened to be looking at the exact spot when a broad-winged, silvery projec tile with a blunt nose and a Jong under-lip at the front of a 10-inch body, exploded from tin wster. By the way he came up into the air, we knew the enemy must have been close, for the flying fish was in a big hurry. He went up into the air as much as IS feet, leveled out and began a long, graceful glide. He should have made it. Ordinarily, he would have, but this time an unforeseen enemy that had been cruising high in the air over the tran quil sea came into the picture. It was an enemy with keen eyesight and expert flight - a large frigate bird, black and as shiny as burnished steel in the sunlight. Down from the blue he shot, straight as an ar row, already having correctly estimated the exact spot in the air where he would inter cept the gliding fish. The flying fish sensed the presence of an airbore enemy and tried to change his course. The best he could do was to tilt his stabilizing "planes" and dive into the sea, consid erably short of where his glide would normally have taken him. But the frigate bird, a master of flight, antici pated the maneuver. The bird tilted forward, its hooked bill agape. Just before the flying fish touched the water the bird grabbed it, elevated itself and sailed away, the doomed fish struggling violently. With enemies below and winged death above, the fly ing fish lives dangerously and for but a short time. Dennis the Menace 'I CXtO HEAR THE LAUGHS, CUT!

Labor Committee Revision Proposed Salem A revision of the governor'i plan to set up a pecial labor - management committee to solve labor dead locks was proposed Thursday by Rep. Richard Kennedy (D-Eugene). Kennedy proposed major changes to the House Com mittee on Labor and Indus tries in the form of amend ments to the governor's bill. The original bill was recom mended by the governor as a solution to lengthy and costly labor disputes which seriously affect the entire economy of the state. 'Rather than appoint a so- called labor-management com mittee which would later pre pare a list of qualified fact finders, my proposal is that the select-committee itself would take on the job of fact finding and strike settle ment," Kennedy said. Under the proposed bill it would seem to be a waste of manpower to appoint a committee and then have this group name mediators when the state presently has a state conciliation service with a mediation staff."

It Is the only coun try in the hemisphere without standing army. Costa Rica is a democratic nation that honors culture above force, teachers above generals. It has more school teachers than soldiers and the highest literacy rate In Latin America. Its school system is compulsory and free, one of the finest in the Americas. Its only defense force is a home guard militia of less than 2,000 men. Next to the smallest of the Central American republics, Costa Rica was, until the crea tion of the Panama Republic in 1903, the most southerly and isolated nation of the region. Its remoteness con tributed to its uneventful ear ly colonial history. Nation of Farmars Costa Rican life today, as for many centuries past, is that of an agricultural society. Essent tally, it is a nation of small farmers. Costa Rica lies between Nicaragua and Panama and is bordered on the east by the Caribbean and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. Its capital city, San Jose, is quaint and friendly. The charm of the country, how ever, lies mainly in its color ful countryside. Columbus is credited with the discovery of Costa Rica on his fourth and last trip to the New World. Historians report he was driven by storms into the Bay of Cariari - site of to day's Puerto Llmon - and was visited aboard ship by Indians whom he described as "hand some, peaceful and respectful." Spain called the new coun try Nuevo Cartago, although Columbus did not establish any permanent settlement ashore, and in 1509 Spain claim it formally. Founds Firit City The hrue history of Costa Rica opened under Juan Vaz quez de Coronado, its first governor, who was called the "gentle conquistador" (con queror). He founded the coun try's first permanent Spanish city, Cartago. Coronado was lost at sea while returning to Spain and for two and a half centuries thereafter Spanish governors succeeded one another. When the captain general of Guatemala, of which Costa Rica was a part, declared its independence of Spain in 1821, Costa Rica quietly oust ed its royal governor and de clared itself independent. Resumes Sovertignty In 1822 Costa Rica joined the Mexican empire, only to withdraw a year later. In 1823 it became prat of a Central American confederation that eventually failed. In 1838 Costa Rica decided to resume separate sovereign ty. In 1848 it proclaimed it self completely independent under the title of the Repub lic of Costa Rica. The end of the 19th century witnessed the introduction of U. S. and British capital and enterprise in education, which already was well advanced. Large material and cultural advances have been made since. Foreign capital has de veloped the banana business and the stability of govern ment has been increased.
