Ifernan. n By LYNN M Caracara Named Himself When He Opened His Beak John James Audubon, 150 years ago, explored what was then a vast American wilder ness, and painted, as he saw them, nearly all birds residing on the North American contin ent. In the year 1826 he pub lished in London his beautifully illustrated "Birds of America," describing over a thousand spe cies. One bird in particular, the "caracara," is known by noi other name than Audubon's Car- acara. Audubon admitted this bird ' named itself by its peculiar cry, i and when we pronounce t h e name we imitate the call. Audu bon was fascinated by this long legged bird, whose long legs, adapted for running, strong tal ons, and fierce expression, in trigued the student, who was later recognized by having the bird named for him.

The booth placed in the top 10 and the quality of the produce drew wide comment. Also drawing interest nearby was a miniature model 3-slamp gold mill furnished by Bob Cook of Gold Hill where milling quartz was demonstrated. The booth also received state-wide pubilicity in the Grange Bulletin. In addition to the booth, Jackson county individuals won 87 ribbons showing line produce and a total of $230. Small Worlds Around Us WATKINS (Regikter and Tribune Syndicate '.963) in many sections of the south eastern states, it is mostly un known and unseen. Even when observed it is usually mistaken for a streamlined hawk, which of course he does resemble. He also resembles the eagle in some respects, as well as the falcon, to all of which he is re lated. Obviously the caracara is a bird of prey, with a strong, slightly hooked, yellow bill, par ticularly adapted to tearing llesn. In some sections of its range the bird is considered a scavenger. The general body I color is brown, shading to black I on the head. The head is adorn ed with a clump of stiff feathers that can be erected, and forms a sort of crest. Tropical Bird Like all the members of fal con family, the caracara looks fierce, as well as majestic and regal, and always with a wild, untamable look in the eyes. The large, powerful wings 'indicate a creature capable of soaring to dizzy heights. Like the vulture and the buzzard, he spends much time soaring in wide cir cles, on stiffened wings. Audubon's caracara is consid ered a tropical bird, very com mon in many sections of South America, Mexico and Florida. When at rest, the caracara has Ihe peculiar habit of throwing the head back until it rests mi the shoulders, and at such times mi,y (,,. j,K ,;,(.,; (. i ,.,, , Thc caracara's an,.enr;,n,.n:l,mK"' he mused. Perhaps. becomes radically unhawk - like when the observer notices the i lone lens, which are ahnnrm;,llv I long and adapted to rapid run ning. Ihe reason for this be comes apparent when we ob serve the bird's feeding, for its favorite food is small turtles. At times the bird has been known to steal fish from peli- cmls. ,,,. , ,, whlM. ii, ,,j ,.im hap,)ons to caU.n (jsn little too big to eat i ikp ,i, .,i an,i mivli, perhaps thev reset som(nvhil, ,llc lands- ,)( s, emble South America where its ancestors have lived so long, and so free.

Illustrated Talk Set on Australia Medford's first armchair cruise will start at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 21, at the Mcd ford High school auditorium. Nicol Smith, famous lecturer, explorer and photographer, will speak on Australia. His color motion pictures will show his 20,000 mile trip by airplane and auto through Australia. During World War II Smith served as OSS agent in Thailand and Vichy, France. He was the first person to explore and photograph the remote interior of the island of Hainan and the first to make a round trip over the Burma Road in the rainy season. He is the author of five books, the most recent of which is "Golden Doorway to Tibet." Tickets are avail able at Swem's or at the Mcdtord High school auditorium the night of the performance. Goldwater Would Be 'Strong Runner' SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) -Secretary of Interior Stewart L. Udall believes it is becoming "obvious that (he hearts of the GOP belong" (o Sen. Barry Goldwater who "will be a strong runner" for the ltltil presidential nomination. The soft-spoken but emphatic Udall told a news conference last night at the Western Stales Democratic Conference that the Arizona Republican is the only GOP leader "with strong, pas sionate appeal among the rank and file" parly members. "It would be an historic cam- 11,0 'ss'"'s ""'"lv "lak!'1f"r a tampaign which we should have " ch generation Udall declined to describe Goldwater as a "trigger happy" thinker. But, he contended he lacks "sensitivity." "He doesn't have the delicate decision-making qualities that the p r e s i d e n c y demands," claimed Udall. "Like the deli cacy which the President Used in the Cuban crisis." Training Course Being Planned A training course for all city chairmen and vice chairmen of the Heart Sundav drive has been planned by Mrs Earl B Higalow, Jackson County Heart Fund Chairman for 1I. The meeting will lie held al the American Legion Memorial building, -to-l Walnut St., Med ford. at 8 p m. Tuesdav, Sept 21. Guidon Bradley, stale pro gram consultant for Ihe Oregon Heart association, will conduct the course. He will show a short educational film. Appointments of city chairmen will be an nounced and they in turn will in troduce assistants (hey have apiwinted for the drive. PKI.K I MAN IHI OKoNO. Maine (UPI) - A University of Maine campus iwliceman died Friday night of a heart attack after fighting, chasing and ai resting a youth who allegedly was dunking beer outside a tool ball weekend dame on Ihe campus. 1 of them into places of refuge and protection for the birds? A bevy of wild birds in a park can be as decorative as the prettiest flower and bring color and life to a gray and slumber ing winter landscape. They give so much for so little. But if you would have wild birds with you permanently you must offer them a little hospitality and pro tection. Plant trees, shrubs and flow ers that especially attract birds. There is a long list to choose from white and purple mul berry, alder, holly, heather, mountain ash, privet, cotoneas ters and many others. These would also provide protection from winter winds and storms. Bird houses and feeders could be erected. There are many types of ready - made feeders, also, they are not difficult to construct. Old harrow disks with center hole covered with fine screen, put on rustic cedar or redwood posts high enough to be out of reach of cats and chil dren, are inexpensive and satis factory. It is terribly important that a feeder be safe. Garden clubs could cooperate with sug gestions and supervision. These parks, city - owned, should be fairly safe from boys with guns, slingshots, etc., es pecially if bird - loving resi dents in the vicinity kept a watchful eye. Police department could issue warnings. On the other hand, children could become interested in bird- watching and feeding under proper guidance. The mind of the child is eager to respond to the wonderful environment that nature maintains between plant and bird life so, these small city parks could become perfect places to instill desirable pat terns of behavior and produce in the child's mind a feeling of reverent respect for the laws that govern all life. Since some of these parks are used for family picnics scraps such as crumbled pie crusts, toast and bread crumbs, cut-up raisins, meat scraps, peanut butter are all delicacies for birds and could he left on the feeders. It could soon become an enjoyable habit. Winter is fast approaching, so each of us should give a thought to a little refuge in our own yards or, even on a window sill. Birds like an amazing as sortment of foods. Suet heads the list and is a cold weather "must." There are excellent wild bird food mixtures, chick scratch, yellow corn meal mixed with any left - over fat, overripe fruit such as bananas, grape fruit and orange halves, any of which tempts some bird. Have fresh water available all year. A few drops of glycerin in it are harmless and help prevent it from freezing.
