Be TUESDAY, APRIL IS. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON n Bella Directs Algerian Policy Algiers, Algeria 0JP11 Pre mier Ahmed Ben Bella per sonally will direct Algeria's foreign policy in place of Foreign Minister Mohammed Khemlsti, still in a coma from an attempted assassination, informed sources said today. Hospital sources said it ap peared unlikely that Khem lsti would ever regain con sciousness. The 32-year-old diplomat, highly regarded by Western observers, was shot by a gun man last Thursday as he left the National Assembly build ing with his wife. The bullet which lodged in his brain has not been removed. Informed observers said Ben Bella might name his personal cabinet director, Mo hammed Had Small, to take over the Foreign Ministry on a temporary basis. Small Worlds Around Us y Lynn W. Welkins Hnl.fr Tribune SyaSlHU, I DS J) House Needed Remodeling Before Pair Could More In The new occupants of the "house" on the pole had de cided to remodel the old homestead. Determined to do the work of remodeling them selves, they began the opera tion. Seemed their main trouble was the front of the residence. They felt the door was too small, figured the opening must hove been made for a midget. Whatever work need ed to be done to the interior could be determined after a suitable doorway was con, structed. One could not know what the Inside looked like if one couldn't get in at the front door. So, with determination Mr. and Mrs. Woodpecker be gan "a labor of love," enlarg ing the front door. Originally, the house they were looking at had been mttdc for smaller tenants. Ac tually, It was erected by the householder in hopes of in teresting a family of house wrens to occupy It. It was a beautiful little structure, Ideal for a wren couple, but for some obscure reason they were delayed. The woodpeck ers, evidently accustomed to making snap decisions, made up their minds. City Living They could see the advant age of living in a city back yard, and besides, Mrs. Woodpecker had become somewhat discouraged. A shortage of suitable trees in the area may have had some thing to do with her decision to occupy a man-made bird house. None of her ancestors, or Mr Woodpecker's cither, would ever have thought of using anything other than a cavity In a tree, but times have changed for woodpeck ers as well as humans, and. being opportunists and advo eates of modern living, they decided on the wren house. After surveying the situa tion from every angle the two birds with the chisel bills be Kan tlie task of door-remodel-Ing. It wasn't much Of a Job. The wood used In the con struction of the little house was soft. Mr Woodpecker, his stiff tail feathers braced against the supporting pole, hammer ed away at the side of the small opening. His technique was tile same as that practiced by any experienced woods man with an ax. lie chipped out bite sized pieces with repeated blows, each one at a selected place. Wood chips half an inch long fell away from 1) is powerful blows. Careful Workmen II didn't take long, In spite of the fact that the opening had to be made nearly three times its original lite, Both birds were careful workmen. The hole opening was nearly round when they had fin ished. Both birds seemed proud of their handiwork. Mrs. Woodpecker moved In before her hard hitting hus band had chipped out the last hunk. It was the first time she had seen the inside. Before the opening was en larged she COUld barely get her head inside the door. When she did. her own head shut off the light inside the house Once inside she peck ed out. and apparently said to her spouse. "OK dear, we will take It." Alterations completed, the next step was furnishing the apartment. This was easier than the remodeling - they Just moved in a generous quantity of sawdust and wood chips Woodpecker babies have rested on wood shavings sinec the very first woodpeck er hollowed out a cavity In a dead tree trunk, i PAY NO MONEY DOWN WHEN YOU BUY ON CREDIT AT WARDS.
