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.

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."

By United Pratt International
When President Kennedy
goes to Costa Rica next week
for a meeting with Central
American presidents he will
be visiting one of the most
placid of all Latin American
countries. 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.
