Fulbright's Speech By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) - Now that I have become an appren tice bird watcher, I find that I have an awak ening interest in matters con c e r n i n g our feathered friends. This week, for in stance, my in terest was awakened by a speech that Sen. J. William Fulbright D-Ark.) delivered in the Senate under the title "Sea gull Wisdom." II Fulbright wistfully told his colleagues that the human race might have something to learn from the seagull, particularly as regards diplomacy and warfare. Seagulls, he noted, never at tack each other unless one of them sticks his neck out. And when hostilities do occur, the combat is largely ceremonial, so that nobody gets hurt. What Fulbright didn't say was that there are 43 species of seagulls in the world, 23 of which are found in North America. The reason he didn't say that was because it had nothing to Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS Register d Tribune Syniie!. -,941) Fire Brats Gravitated To Hot Stoves and Fireplaces Just about gone now are the old ficldstone fireplaces that at one time in early America cast a fitful glow and doubtful heat against the penetrating cold of long winter nights. Made of stone gathered from ihe fields, and held together with plaster, they usually occu pied all of one side of a room. They were crude, and seeming ly indestructible, but time mast ered them. Today there are but few left. On cold winter nights our early pioneers huddled close to the blazing logs in those old fireplaces, and probably watched in wide-eyed amaze ment the small, slender, silver colored insects that skated across the hot stones, and wond ered how such frail-appearing creatures could tolerate such a temperature on their unprotect ed feet. Across the hot stones of those old fireplaces moved the creat ures that out-lasted the stone and brick fireplaces. In fact, an cestors of those same creatures have endured on this earth for millions of years, and they still are with us . . . small creatures of tissues and fluids, living things of a low order but living beings capable of "hot-footing-it" over almost red hot stones with unfeeling concern. At the lime, the people that watchx! them run over Ihe stones, even when the fire was hot named ihem "fire brats." Most folks that witnessed the bugs on the hot stones figured it was a miracle. And they weren't far from wrong, for the ease with which the fire brat endures hot surfaces is not too well un derstood. Our ancestors probably never thought about it or cared, either, that the long-ago ancestors of those fire brats, millions of gen erations removed, were crawl ing with unconcern over the red hot stones that enclosed the very first fire some caveman ignited thousands of years ago. The so called fire brat is one of the most primitive of insects. They were on the scene a long time before the dawn-man or the later caveman found out how to rub two sticks together to make a fire. They the fire brats are still here, crawling heedlessly over hot bricks or heated lids of kitchen stoves, provided they want to get across and there is no way around. Fire brats are a form of crea-: ture commonly known as slick-: ers, or siiverfish little crea-: tures whose slender bodies are: covered with silvery scales like: a fish. They have three long,: very conspicuous bristles on the : rear end of the body pointing: backward, and two antennae on the head. They have chewing mouth parts. The mouth is re cessed in a cavity in the head. They have a ravenous appetite for wallpaper, old newspapers, glue, or nearly any material containing starch. They dislike daylight, but be come active at night. Being out of sight most of the time, most housewives seldom know they are present. The siiverfish is wingless, but very active ac tually fast on its feet. The legs are many - jointed with almost the flexibility of a rubber band. The cavemen, the old fire places, even the hardy pioneers, ail have passed away now, but the fire brat has survived, tf great grandfather ever wonder ed how a frail insect could walk over a red hot stone, he would be shocked to know we still don't know, even today. Watch one sometime on a hot stove lid. The little fellow won't appear to be even the least bit uncomfortable. do with the point he was mak ing. I just threw it in here to demonstrate my own eradica tion regarding seagulls. I am, however, also informed on another matter which may have some bearing on the mes sage Fulbright was imparting. I refer to the behavior of pea cocks. Contrary to the impression ydti might have, a peacock does not strut because he is proud. He struts because he is clumsy. The peacock walks with a stiff-legged swagger to keep from tripping over his own feet. Also to balance his tail. He is supposed to use his tail to attract a mate. But if no peahens are around, he will spread it anyway, possibly be cause he needs the exercise. If placed before a Biirror, a peacock likely will spend a lot of time gazing at his re flection. Ornithologists dis agree as to whether this is vanity or curiosity, and the peacock isn't saying. My own theory is that the pea cock is a frustrated bird watch er. Some peacocks have had tem pers and will attack on the slightest provocation. A natural ist who observed them in the jungle reported that they were "as sinuous as a snake, as stealthy as a cat, and as wary as an old bull bison." Aristotle, the famous Greek bird watcher, once described the peacock as having "t h e feathers of an angel, the voice of the devil and the entrails of a thief." It would be nice if, as Ful bright suggested, people were more like seagulls. But let's face it. People are more like peacocks.

Sandbagged Dike Holding in Texas PORT ARTHUR, Tex. iUPil About 1,500 homes nestled be hind a flood-imperiled ievce ap peared safe today. Emergency sandbag crews were on standby alert. Civil defense officials at Port Arthur said it appeared the battle against ihe flood trigger ed by the now-dead Hurricane Cindy would be won, although caution was necessary at least through today. "It looks like we've got it whipped now," civil defense di rector John Oden said today. "The water dropped two and one-half inches overnight. The water will drop lower with fee outward movement of the tide." Oden said there was still three feet of water on the high side of ihe eight-foot high levee. He said that water would have to drain off before the danger was over completely. j They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo jT X KiDS AQB JJ RCTUSSi OF kUMQUAT 71 KNEW Y4-4SI MUST LEADING A&AtNST -T VWEN Wc COPS KWO f I Ul SVHBf j SMOW OU PiCTURES U SOMETHING DO60Y ! ) MIS HUSCAP, S TME ONLY Oc NfY CHILDREN"" II when THEY HAVE j X.
