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.
Mostly Unseen
Although this large, hawk
like bird is relatively common

This was Kill more than were

This year's entering sopho

plums, apples, quince, corn, oats, barley, alfalfa, beets, grass
seeds, pumpkins, melons, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, onions
and squash. 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

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.
