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.

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.

that he was terrified of speaking In public, nnd shunned
personal appearancea end autographing parties like tho

"No need whatever for
you to be that way,"
Churchill assured him,
"Do what I do. To this
day, when I get up to

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.
