WATKINS (Rtgilttr nj Trlbun. Syndicate, ;43) Many Animal Migrations Still Remain Mystery A migration is usually con sidered to be a Journey of considerable distance by group or a mass of living creatures from one habitat or region to another. Animal migrations have al ways intrigued the minds of thinking men, who as a rule, vi ualize a great number of individuals moving in unison toward an unseen destination One of the most spectacular mi-rations is that of the lem mings. Lemmings are small rodents about four to five I. ches long who are known crpeciallly for their devas tating migrations. This migra tion is actually a one ' way trip for many of the lem mings as many of them die before making the return tip. Remarkable Trip Observant students have ac tually watched the beginning of this remarkable trip. Thou sands of the little animals sud denly begin the trek with great odds against them. They f.ght to gain another mile and at last, plunge into the sea to swim as long as their puny strength lasts and then drown. Not all the lemmings in a certain area migrate; there are always enough left at home to continue the species. Scientists believe that this mi gration is triggered by over population. On the long trip, hundreds of the little rodents give their lives to a host of predators that follow along with them. With thousands of lemmings gone, the remain ing hundreds can find enough food to sustain life. The animals feed on, vegeta tion and spend the warm months on mountains. The mi- colors of red and white; a flower of white rose; gowns of royal blue; and a motto of We are not the end, but. the beginning." gration to the lower lands is merely following the food sup r'y. When the summer comes to the lofty areas, they mi grate i back. T se creatures execute a mass movement from an area of scarcity to a land of hoped - for plenty. Migrations Unexplained The migration of the salm-. on and the eel, as well .as some other mass movements-, has never been satisfactori'y explained. There are many species of ocean fish that per form annual migrations over great distances of water. The actual reason is somewhat in doubt. Water temperature triggers some n.igrarits to move, while food often serves as another impetus. Probably, there are many less obvious reasons. Mysterious Guides Science maintains that birds migrate because of failing light, change of light angles, shortage of food or degrees ot temperature. Any or all of these reasons may or may not be the real cause. The reason is nowhere near as mysterious as the . method used to guide them on the long Journeys, some of which are many thou-ands of miles. One of the latest and most startling explanations is nav igation by means of celestial observations on thj part of a bird. Does a migrating bird carry in its consciousness a of the stars which it use- to direct its course? Some species of birds mi grate only during the day light and may use the sun or its position in the sky as their compass. Other species travel only by night and become hopelessly' confused when clouds obscure the sky. Isn t it funny that in this scientific age tlr should be so many seemingly simple things that are unanswerable. buy red, Guatemala, a land of dense Jungles and still active vol canoes, was the topic of a re cent talk gtvcq 'jy Mrs. Mary Graham to Mrs. Helen Tho mas' sixth period World Geo graphy class. Mrs. Graham showed some souvenirs of her two-month stay in Guatemala last sum mer.

AUGUST DEBELIUS Segovia, Spain tUPi) A dis tiller here is out to scuttle the Scots - dram by dram. His weapon: good "Scotch" whisky, brewed on the bonny braes of Segovia, arid-sold at less than half the price -of whisky imported from Scot land. , The new whisky, 10 years in the makinr, is called "dyc." It cost Spanish industrialist Nicomedes Garcia Gomez nearly $3 million. It went on sale in Madrid recently and imported Scotch whiskies dropped an average of almost $1 a bottle in price. Distiller. Garcia Gomez said his plant could turn out about one million quarts of whisky a year "and I expect to sell every drop." Imports of Scotch whisky into Spain last year amounted to slightly under 500,000 bot tles. Garcia Gomez' production began with importation in 1953 of 10,000 used Scotch whisky barrels to make sure his whisky would have the proper receptacles for aging. Then he brought in a team of Scottish whisky blenders and highland peat to cure the malt.' ' " One of his toughest hurdles was finding the right kind of water. Advised - by his help that he couldn't 'make' good whisky without soft water, he hired teams to test water sup plies all over Spain. Their choice was this an cient town, where pure moun tain water still comes down from the Guadarrama range across a stone aqueduct built about 1700 years ago by the Romans. , ' Garcia Gomez, already a big producer of Spanish brandy, wine and liquors, carefully avoided calling his whisky "Scotch" on the label. But to a whisky .. drinker's palate there is no doubt what type NEW TILE New: York-IUPIl-The art of decorative ceramic tile manu facture in Europe reached a peak' of- perfection around 1680 with production of blue and white Delft tiles in Hol land. Today, American manu facturers still produce decorated-blue and white tiles, as well as special decorated tile's in many other colon, it is, 'though the label's only hint is. "finely blended whis ky.";;.'..' Despite the difference between-the anticipated Spanish whisky production and the amount of Scotch imported last year, there is no great likelihood of Spanish whisky glutting the market. In the land of great sherries and con noisseur brandies; Scotch has developed snob appeal. '' It's hard to get a good shot of the best Spanish brandy at fashionable cocktail parties in Madrid these days. .The black tied waiters carry trays pre dominantly stocked with Scotch and water or Scotch and soda. 4-H NEWS Griffin Creek Dairy Club Members of the Griffin Creek 4-H Dairy club ysed a flannel graph to name the parts of a dairy cow at their last meeting.
