OREGON On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE 7 BIRDING By JOSEPH HICKS The seasonal television shake ud continues with new shows ronlacine manv of the old. Tonight Judy Garland makes her long-neraiaea aeoui as a TV regular and Patty Duke and Inger Stevens premiere in new series tomorrow. So far the new schedules look good hopefully a step forward from tne cncne-rmaen pasi. In watching some of the new shows last week, I was struck anew by the obvious fact that excellence in TV, as in so many efforts, can be produced only if the team behind tne snow is ex cellent. The delightful and talented Danny Kaye, who conveys a feeling of sharing his fun with his audience, nevertheless needs strong behind-the- scenes talent. The skill of his writers was apparent in their clever baseball skus inspired rjy my Fair Lady" and "The Music Man." And the baseball ballet "West Side Story" style dis played the genius of the chore- ograpner. On the other hand, CBS took six stars of the highest magni tude Jack Benny, Lucille Ball, Danny Thomas, Garry Moore, Andy Griffith and Phil Silvers and brewed up a nothing in "Opening Night." There were few really lunny moments, ex cept when the cameras focused on a relatively low magnitude star, Don Knotts of the "Andy Griffith Show." The writers really failed here. Or possibly dealing with six ranking co medians at a time poses too delicate and complex an under-taking. The cameramen will deserve much of the credit for the suc cess of "The Outer Limits." The eerie galaxy being, attract ed to this planet by micro waves, was an effective crea tion of science fiction wizardry. In any case, this is the time when the networks are acutely tuned to the responses of the viewers. Your reactions will determine which shows stay with us and which fade away. So if vou like something you see, or dislike something you see, write to your local stations or the networks and say so. By the way, If you looked for the "Richard Boone Show" last Tuesday and found it missing locally, don't despair. It will be carried on a delayed basis starting Oct. 11.

Debut. 40 Acres Around Stables Released The bureau of land manage ment has released the 40 acres of land around the Lily Glen riding stables at Howard Prairie lake from a grazing lease, ac cording to a letter read by Coun ty Judge Earl M. Miller Friday. The letter from District Man ager Donald J. Schofield indi cated the land can now be used for purely recreational pur poses. He also advised the coun ty court that if it plans to seek withdrawal of any other land for recreational purpose, appli cation should be made to the BLM by January of the year in which the withdrawal is sought. While the land was still con sidered under grazing lease, the county court could not start dig ging the well as requested by the Jackson county parks and recreation commission. Judge Miller said the county court could make plans for the well now, but did not say how soon the actual work would start. The county court had to ne gotiate with the bureau of rec lamation and the National Park Service, besides BLM, to ob tain withdrawal of the land for recreational use. All three have joint jurisdiction over the area. Co-Managers Are Named for Station The announcement of co-man agers for radio station KSIIA in Medford has been made by Rob ert Thomlinson, Eugene, general manager of Pacific Adult Radio stations.

"No need whatever for you to be that way," Churchill assured him, "Do what I do. To this day, when I get up to (peak, I make a point of taking a good look around the audience. I say to myself, 'What a lot of silly fools. And then I Immediately feel better."

ALL AT ONE LOW PRICE 5.44 SHOE DEPARTMENT CHILDREN'S MAIN FLOOR 1 During the fall migration, bird oooulation is at its hinhpst peak. It is estimated that only one third of this number of birds will survive the autumn migration and the winter season to re turn in the spring for the nesting season. Species that nest two and three times each year, such as mourning doves, house sparrows, robins, and starlinco hav a survival rate lower than the average, otherwise their populations woum pyramid, me same reasoning pertains to California quail and ring-necked pheasants with their large broods of 8 to 16 young per brood. It would be interesting to actually count the number of swal lows in mid-September in this valley. The electric lines through out the valley hold resting swallows by the thousands. If a search is made at the same time in the fields, one finds almost as large quantities of house finches, Savanah sparrows, lark sparrows, lesser and American goldfinches. A more diligent search in the foliage of trees will disclose migrating warblers, vireos, and other small birds including families of chickadees and white breasted nuthatches. Only a few shore birds were observed during August and September. A greater yellowlegs was feeding along the Rogue river on Aug. 25. On the same date Mrs. L. Tompkins saw three Immature Wilson's phalarope near Modoc rd. A forster's tern was flying above Hoover lake on Sept. 1,1 Hoover lake area has been almost void of waterfowl during this summer. In early September, scattered along the lakes, there were only a few mallards, some green winged teal, a pair of gadwalls, and about six wood ducks. While there is a scarcity of shore birds and waterfowl here, there is a tremendous concentration of both of the above in the Klamath Falls area. On Sept. 16 there were hundreds of avocet and dowitchers at the Lower Klamath Falls refuge. Ducks, mostly mallards, and geese dotted the lakes in this area. Pelicans and common egrets also were very much in evidence. Klamath lake, north of Klam ath Falls, has had little or no waterfowl this summer. Now there are many western grebes, and an occasional pied-bill grebe on the lake. O. Kannaslo again reports seeing the two sand hill cranes in the marshy field west of Howard lake. This pair has appar ently spent the summer in this area, as Kannasto saw them three or four times. From the reported size and coloring they are larger "grus canadensis" specie and not the "little brown cranes." There is a possibility that two hlaclf vultures were in the vicinity of White City on Aug. 2fl. Mrs. W. Mitchell telephoned me that she had observed two vultures with white feathers near the tips of the wings, black heads, and smaller tails than the turkey vulture. These vultures were circling overhead among a group of about 10 mature and immature turkey vultures. If these vultures were actually black vultures, they are far from their environment of Ohio, Maryland, Texas, tn Chile and Argentina. If anyone else saw these vultures, please give me a call. In the summer I put away my bird feeders as they altrart house sparrows who interfere with other nesting birds. The two titmice who have lived in our yard for six years, make them selves known in the fall with their cheery call. Recently I put up two feeders, one with sucl, and the other a horizontal fruit jar for the titmice. As I have not banded the titmice. 1 am not sure it is the same pair that comes each year to the feeder, but again this fall they showed no hesitation in entering the jar and taking the peanuts and sunflower seeds. Last year both chickadees and titmice used this feeder. There is a 1(4 inch entrance hole to the jar, which permits entrance of the smaller birds. Juncoes and sparrows avoid this feeder, perhaps they assume it to be a trap. For the suet feeder, 1 use large chunks of suet, obtainable at the packing houses or Groceteria. It attracts many species including acorn woodpeckers, scrub jays, golden crown and while crown sparrows, Audubon's warblers and bush tils. Both of the feeders are suspended from a horizontal rope tied between two trees. This keeps cats and dogs from pouncing on the feeding birds. In addition to my slides of local birds, 1 now have 50 or 60 color slides of some of the wild flowers found in this area. Mr. and Mrs. L. Centner and A. Butler helped me with the difficult determination of the common and latin names. O roups that desire to see cither of these sets of slides should contact me. A.
