MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1963 Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Regiitar and Tiibuna Syndicate. ;96J) Colony Sati Sentries To Wain of Danger Fortunately for their own preservation they are exceed ingly wary, winging away with a great clatter of wings at the approach of any sus pected enemy. While the group is feeding, sentries are always posted at carefully se lected points to alert the col ony if danger is imminent. Unlike the heron, the ibis does not spear its prey, but grabs it in its powerful bill. It feeds on small fish, frogs, snakes, and some water in sects. A group of birds will tramp around in a pond, stir ring up the mud until the fish have to come to the surface to get a breath of air, there they are grabbed by the wading birds. Rare Experience It is a rare and exciting ex perience to be within hearing distance of a wood ibis rook ery where hundreds of birds are nesting, such as can be found in some parts of the Florida Everglades. Never in your life did you ever hear such a commotion. There are squawks, groans, coughs, wheezes, whimperings and hoarse croaks, as both young and adults give voice to their feelings. The nest, built of dry sticks, Is usually close to the ground, in mangrove trees whose roots are immersed in water. There are often half a dozen nests in a single tree. Some nests contain eggs while at the same time other nests will hold young birds, and both may be in the same tree. Common Names In the swamps, swales and wetlands of the south, the wood ibis is known by several local, common names; Flint head, probably because the head is bare, entirely naked of feathers, and the skin is of a dull grey color, maybe like flint. For this same reason other folks call the bird "Old Baldy," or "Ironhead." The amateur bird student, seeing the wood ibis for the first time, would undoubtedly say, "Oh look at the storks" and he wouldn't be too many miles off course for the wood ibis is a member of the stork family. In fact it is the only American representative of those long legged birds that nest on old world chimney pots. Multnomah Hotel Sale Effort Denied Portland - (UPD - Reports that active efforts are being made to sell the 51-year-old Multnomah hotel here were denied Thursday by Gordon Bass, senior vice president of Western International Hotels. Bass said his firm had a 12-year lease on the hotel. He indicated that any hotel was for sale if the right price were offered but said sale of the Multnomah was not imminent. IMSM AT LAST! It' the end of our year, when its traditional to make gifts of our cars (by cutting: prices, raising trade-in allowances and relaxing terms). So come in while the spirit moves us to play Santa Claus. 73 MEDFORD MOTORS 225 South Riversidej Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF TOMMY RICHARDSON had a disturbing experience in a small-town church one Sunday. The collection plate was passed, and Richardson put in a bill. It came round a second time and he kicked in again. The third time around he do nated all the change he had left. Then, lo and behold! The ushers form ed ranks to come down the aisles for a fourth time! At this point a little old Jady seated next to Richardson leaned over and whispered to him, "What do you think they're going to do now? Search us?" A yourif? doctor, who had recently hung out his shingle in an exclusive suburb, sot his first dinner invitation from the richest couple in town. His wife was unable to accompany him, but couldn't wait for his report when ho got home. "I went over with a bang," he enthused, "and Mrs. Jones was the most thoughtful hostess Imaginable. Not only did she serve & splendid dinner, but she sat me down between two youn mothers who haven't had their kids' tonsils out yet" Limerick time: An imaginary line Is the waist: It never stays long where it's placed, But rises or slips From shoulder to hips, According to popular taste. C 1963, by Bennett Ccrf. Distributed by Kinr features Syndicate Report Deals With Psychiatric Angle Of Desegregation By AL KUETTNER UPI Correspondent A major report will be re leased this week end dealing with the psychiatric aspects of the desegregation of south ern schools. Like most such studies, its findings will be controversial - accepted as scientific data by some, discarded by others. The report will be publish ed by the Southern Regional Council and the Anti-Defamation League. This adds to its controversial aspects because both have been active in pro integration efforts. The study was produced by Dr. Robert M. Ciles, a Boston psychiatrist, now residing in Atlanta, He sppnt two years gathering the clinical mate rial. Studied Many Cases He spent many hours with Negro school children hav ing their first experience in integrated situations, with pre school Negro youngsters, with teachers and with white par ents and pupils who were both for and against desegre gation. Coles, discussing the proj ect in an interview prior to release of his report, said the conclusion of his study was that Negroes can make their way in integrated schools without psychological stress on their own lives or ill ef fects on the lives of white pupils. During his racial study, Coles said he often visited the homes of Negroes, playing on the floor with their young children as a means of gaining their confidence. It was in such situations, he said, that he learned Negroes develop knowledge of racial differ ences at a very early age. Children Learn Early "At four and five years of age, these children know the score," Coles said. "I have been in homes where children NO GOOD WHEN COLD Columbia, Mo.-flJPD-Guests it the Boon county ham breakfast Saturday will get their ham and eggs but no grits, and all because caterer James C. Nanson is a South ern cooking purist. Nanson said grits must be cooked and served quickly In the best tradition. He feared the grits would not withstand being carted to the fairgrounds to be served lukewarm. of this age have white and colored dolls. They talk about what the dolls are going to be when they grow up. They will place the white dolls in a white society and they grow up to have fine homes and marriages. The Negro dolls become maids and hold me nial positions in society. "I would ask them 'why' and they would tell me, 'that's the way it is in the world.' " Although they now are go ing through a revolutionary transition, Negroes have many barriers that are the cumulative process of "300 years of subservience," Coles said. Therein lies one of the biggest problems in the cur rent era of transition. Coroner's Jury Tells Ward Verdict London-UIPD - A coroner's jury ruled today that Dr. Stephen Ward, the society osteopath who touched off Britain's scandal of the cen tury, killed himself with an overdose of sleeping pills. It took the seven-man jury only three minutes to bring in its suicide verdict. Coroner Gavin Thurston formally re corded the finding that Ward died of t'bilaterial softening of the brain" resulting from self-administered drugs. Ward, who had medical training and knew how much to take, died of barbiturate poisoning Saturday rather than face sentencing on vice charges. Ward's family arranged private burial services today for the 50-ycar-old Anglican minister's son and refused flowers for the funeral. Ward was already in a drug-induced coma when the old Bailey jury convicted him of living off the earnings of prostitutes last Wednesday. He never regained conscious ness to hear the sentence which could have been 14 years In prison. A 5 Petitions To Ask Closures To Fishing Salem - (UPD - A sportsmen's group has filed preliminary petitions for an initiative to close all Oregon inland wa ters to commercial salmon and steelhead fishing. If the measure gets on tha November, 1964, general elec tion ballot and is approved by the people it would mean tha end of commercial salmon fishing in the Columbia river.

The cardinal is a close friend of the Kennedy family. "It will be a special com fort to the President and his wife to know that everything possible was done to save the life nt the infant.
