RIRDING
CVat By JOSEPH HICKS
Although .'most of the birds have finished with their
nesting activities, many-bird were still feeding their young
during July and' one coot was seen building a nest at lower
Klamath wildlife -refuge on July 17.
Further observance of the nest I thought contained grass
hopper sparrow eggs turned out to be the nest of a horned
lark.. -Four young horned larka hatched out on July 4. - On
' July S only two young horned larks were seen near the nest.
The. grasshopper sparrow' nest must have been in the
near vicinity of the horned lark's nest, as I saw a pair of
grasshopper sparrow on June 28 making repeated trips
carrying insects In then- beak to the same area. However
after much; searching, I never did find the grasshopper
sparrow'-nest.
The black phoebe that nested near the Applegala Rivet
were seen protecting the nest on July 11, but on July 19
there ware none, near the area, Evidently the young had
hatched and. departed.
'
. This spring, the Rev. Thomas McCamant set himself a
project to observe and report on nesting birds near Hub
bard, Oregon. With the help of friends, he observed and
reported 'the neat of 38 species of birds. An American
goldfinch nest with six-goldfinch eggs and one cowblrd egg
was" one. of hi most interesting finds.
On a trip east of Mt. Hood, he found a golden eagle's
nest with two' young eaglets. The nest was in Willow Creek
Canyon and was located above a cliff containing the nests
of 44 cliff swallow. On the same trip he found a William.
son's sapsucker's nest in the yellow pine country just east
of Ssntism Pass.
About a dozen bank swallows' nests were seen on July
17 just south of the firing line road in Klamath county
Evidently the young were hatched, for the swallows were
making, frequent trips to and from the nests.
. Avocets, western sandpipers, Wilson s phalaropes, snowy
egrets, many small ducklings, and young cools were seen
In the same -area. An immature least tern, very small
with; noticeably black wing tips were seen by my wife
Tnis is ine second lime tnat least terns have been seen
on the lower wildlife refuge.
. ..
A ruffled grouse hen and about 10 young were seen the
first week in July ori Roxy Ann by Mrs. L. Tompkins. The
grouse hen was on a branch in a pine tree; when she flew
the young grouse took flight from the ground. During July
Mrs.. Tompkins took color photos of sage thrashers at Mal
heur Wildlife Refuge and canyon wrens at Monticello Dam,
California.
Audubon Field Notes reports an influx of western birds
In the eastern United States during the past winter. The
prevalence of Oregon Juncos in the East during recent win
ter, indicates that sightings are no longer classified as
unusual. , In addition, 30 black headed grosbeaks were re
ported from five eastern regions, 11 Bullock's orioles and
green tailed towhees from three regions. Four western
tanager were seen In Florida, and Audubon's warblers were
observed In Michigan.
. Another western bird, the house finch, was introduced
into the East about 25 years ago. Now this bird is well
established, as far north as Boston, as far south as North
Carolina and west to Berks county, Penn.
- - It seems very early to be writing about fall migration.
However, ' western sandpipers were seen in this area on
July 7.. They are one, of the earliest spring and fall mi
grants. During August' and September, migration includ
ing both-adult and young should be in full swing.
The group visiting the Ap
plegate travel by chartered
bus of the Villani bus com
pany of New York, New Jer
sey, and California. They also
brought their bicycles for
traveling at the points they
visit, since hostel clubs have
a policy of traveling on their
own power, whether by bike,
horseback or canoe. The trip
to th . Applegate was for
resting up, however, and the
bicycles were not unloaded.
James Champ, the bus dri
ver, whom the young people
referred to as a great guy.
remained In Medford while
the young people were camp
ing here.
Miss Norma Van Felix and
Harry Wyland were leaders
of the troop. Both are New
York City college students,
Wyland a pre -medical stu
dent. The boys and girls were
from 14 to 16 years of age,
and among them was Thomas
Mueller, from Hamburg, Ger
many, who said he delivered
papers a whole year in order
to make the American tour,
which he calls his "dream."
The chief comment of the
youngsters regarding the
trip which started July 1 was
the pronounced cold weather
with below freezing at Yel
lowstone park and snow at
Crater Lake. The highlight of
the trip, they said was bi
cycling up Mt. Rushmore in
North Dakota.
They are taking seven
weeks for Ihcir trip, and
three weeks of this time is
spent in camping. The bus
driver plans their Itinerary,
House Committee
Approves Bill
For Land Trade
Washington-OIPD-The House
Public Lands subcommittee
approved legislation designed
to permit a land exchange be
tween the slate of Oregon and
B. Livestock Co. of Hcrmis
ton. Ore.
The bill, introduced by Sen.
Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) and
already passed by the Senate,
would permit the exchange of
80 acres of land turned over
to the state by the federal
government for use as part of
a 460-acr- cooperative agricul
tural experiment station.
It now goes to the parent
House Interior committee for
further consideration.
James F. Doyle, assistant
director of the Bureau of Land
Management, said the Interior
Department had no objection
to the bill.
Rep. Robert B. Duncan ID
Ore.) said he had concluded
it was a "desirable bill" which
would help the fcedlot oper
ator without hurting either
the state or the federal gov
ernment. The legislation is required
because the land was turned
over to the state on the con
dition that it would revert to
the federal government if ever
used for any purpose other
than as an experiment station.
Permission to make the ex
change for 80 acres of land
now held by the company was
requested by Oregon State
university.

Market For Lumber
In Europe Seen
Portland - flJPD - An Ore
gon lumberman, Daniel L.
Goldy, lold members of the
City Club here Friday that
the Northwest plywood and
lumber industry may find a
new market in the recent
European trend towards in
dividual homes instead of ma
sonry apartments.
Goldy, deputy assistant sec
retary of commerce for busi
ness development, spoke on
the U.S. Commerce depart
ment's outlook on American
business at home and abroad.
He said that if the coun
try doesn't find a way of
cracking the common market
barrier, it will face the loss
of export business to a rap
idly growing overseas mar
ket. The lumberman cited a
need for more competitiveness
with business abroad as the
two basic problems hamper

feeder line will run generally
along Jacksonville Highway,
Ross lane and McAndrews rd.
A second feeder line will
be run from Barnett rd. and
Riverside ave. generally along
Stewart ave. and South Peach
st. to connect to the transmis
sion line near South Stage rd.
It will consist of l'4 miles of
8-inch and 6-inch line.
Cost About $150,000
The two feeder lines will
cost approximately $150,000
and will be completed hy
Oct. 1. All work will be per
formed by local labor.
The Lininger firm secured

machine is unusual in that
the trenching wheel may be
offset to either side to permit
opening a ditch beside a
paved road that has little or
no shoulder.
All pipe provided by the
Moore Steel company is spec

cover and outer wrap of plas
tic or kraft paper to protect
it from corrosion. After weld

Bloodmobile To Be
In County for Four
Visits in August
a new $30,000 trenching ma-about mid-November.
When the Red Cross Blood
Program reached the mid
point of its second decade this
year, it could look back on
15 years of'good deeds unique
in both quality and magni
tude, and forward to a career
of even greater achievement.
As the 15th anniversary
was reached, total blood col
lections neared the 35 million
mark, local Red Cross of
ficials noted.
The decade and a half saw
a phenomenal expansion.
In the Blood Program's sec
ond full fiscal year, 1949-50,
donations were fewer than
700.000, although a majority
of the present big-city region
al centers were already in op
eration. In the current fiscal
year, that total will be nearly
quadrupled, to exceed 2,600,-000.
There are no statistics on
the number of lives actually
saved with the help of blood
collected by the Red Cross.
Probably they would reach
into the tens, even hundreds
of thousands.
Do Not Indicate
Nor are there figures to in
dicate the number of patients
aided in their struggles from
illness back to health by the
blood fraction gamma globu
lin, of which millions of units
have been distributed by the
Red Cross without charge to
public health agencies, phys
icians, and hospitals.
To hospitals also have gone
other blood derivatives-serum
albumin lo combat shock
from burns and other injuries,
fibrinogen to control hemor
rhaging in childbirth cases,
and vaccinia immune globu
lin, a special kind of gamma
globulin which counteracts
serious reactions to smallpox j
vaccination. j
Others who have benefited i
from the Red Cross blood pro-1
gram have been thousands of
hemophiliacs, boys and men
whose blond will not clot
readily after an injury. '
Five years ago the Blood
Program embarked on an ex
pansion of its research activ
ity. Now one of the prime ob
jectives of Red Cross research
is to develop a practicable
method of producing in)
quantity antihemophilic glo
bulin, which can be used to
treat hemophiliacs mora
speedily and effectively than
the fresh-frozen plasma now
being used.
Other Aims Noted
Other aims of the research
program are to perfect the
freezing technique of long,
term preservation of blood;
to build up a file of person
who have blood with extreme'
Iy rare antibodies or varia
tions from the eight main
groups and types, and to test
the effectiveness of another
blood fraction, fibrinolysin, in
dissolving blood clots.
Jackson county resident
will have four occasions dur
ins August lo participate in
the blood program. The Blood
mobile, will be in Prospect
Aug. 5, in Rogue River Aug.
7 and in Medford Aug. U
and 13.
The Bloodmobile will he at
the community hall in Pros
pect from 2 to 6 p.m.. Aug. 5,
According to Mrs. James H.
Grieve, chairman, the quota
for this visit will be 50 pint
of blood. She added that ap
pointments will not b'i neces
sary. Donors may drop in at
their own convience.
