MtDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Falconry Gains Popularity In the Ozarks Thayer, Mo.-d'PF-Falconry, en historic sport that pits bird against bird, has experienced a revival in this Ozark moun tains region. Lumberman naniel A fn... THURSDAY. APRIL It. INS WBimpmm9mmmmr- 'm'fmmmmtmi a . to r rr said the grace and skill 01 tne nunt with the power ful birds has attracted many "gun hunters." Cover hunts quail, crows and starlings with his falcons here and travels to Canada to hunt Hungarian partridges and sharplail grouse. "The birds are so swift, so graceful to watch in flight, that hunting with falcons is a thrill," he said. "In fact, a near miss of a game bird with a talcon can be as spectacular a success." Cover was a longtime gun hunter but was lured to fal conry by its history, which dates back to Kubla Khan, and by the ease and lack of challenge with which game is killed with firearms. "If the average gun hunter took home as little game (as a falconer), he probably would give up hunting," Cov er said. He said although the per centage of kill is low, the swirl, dive and play of nature against nature is "very excit ing." "It is just as important to have a good bird dog when you hunt with falcons as when you hunt with guns," he said. "When the dog points game, you release the falcon from your wrist and he is trained to fly 200 to 300 feet above you. "When the falcon is in good position, you flush the birds and the falcon swoops." He said the kill is accom plished when the falcon seizes the victim with its powerful talons. Cover said falconry is an Inexpensive sport, but re quires great patience and much work. The wild bird, he said, must he worked bv tedious steps from learning to sit on I the glove to making high f dives. "When the bird learns that falconry is a partnership be tween the bird and man," he said, "you have become a falconer."

Seven - not going on eight More than 2,000 children die each year of leukemia cancer of the blood-forming tissues. Important findings in research laboratories helped extend this child's life and the lives of other little victims by many precious months. Research scientists now see evidence that a virus may cause leukemia and this might bring closer the development of a way to prevent the disease. Research will save children in the future. But research is expensive. Give some money. Please. It's for them. AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY r s 3 Bs.11 I bbbv'bbI Courtesy MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
