The wild scream of this great bird is1 growing fainter with every passing month. It's a rare occurrence now to look up into the blue depths of the sky and see the soaring flight of that graceful bird which symbolizes ' so graphically the spirit of free dom of America ... a living emblem of our national inde pendence. But a few short years ago within a radius of 20 miles of my home, I could count a cou ple of dozen huge stick nests. Today only a single nest re gains in the same area. There have been many con tributing causes for the de crease. Expanding city limits have engulfed the wild places where the birds nested; there are also more people with more guns and less consideration for our vanishing wildlife; forest and brush fires; high winds; and many other causes, all seemingly teamed up to harass the few remaining eagles. Prob ably, in nearly all the areas where the bald eagle was once common, this same condition exists. . Long Babyhood Unfortunate, too, and helping to hasten the end, is the long period of babyhood of the eagles, as the young remain in the nest and insist on standing on the outer edge where their heads and shoulders show plain ly against the sky. The tree where the nest is usually lo cated is often standing alone, selected by the parent birds be cause it is isolated but neverthe less plainly visible to all eyes. Human nature being what it is, the nest is too often dis turbed or destroyed, or visited too frequently by curious folks, until the parent birds give up in disgust. And too, the young eagles never reach adult stage where they are "bald," as only adult eagles have the white head feathers that give -them the appearance of being bald. The mature bald eagle reaches this adulthood at the end of three or four years. Being particularly fond of fish, the American bald eagle prefers to live near the sea coast, or close by some other large body of water. The nests are usually within sight of the lake or the sea. With its appe tite for fish and its relishing either fresh or salt water fish caught live, or which are dead and cast up on a shore, the eagle brings back to its nest many fishing plugs and lures lost by the human fisherman who hooked the fish but never landed it. These objects become residue, left on the nest plat form, and rei. ain there until they are blown away by the wind or buried by a new layer of sticks in the following year. Larger Than Male The female American bald eagle often attains a wing spread of seven or more feet, somewhat larger than the male. ciiA liba hoi- mntfv is a SDeC- tacular sight against the blue bowl of the sky, as she wheels in ever - widening circles far above the world of men.

But few of us are conscious or deeply enough concerned with their final disappearance Residents Warned On Faulty Heating PORTLAND (UPI)-The Ore gon Board of Health has warn. 1 that faulty home heating systems and automobile exhaust are the cause of many deaths each year. The board warned homeown ers and motorists to check their systems for escape of carbon monoxide gas. Dr. R. H. Wilcox, state health officer, said the instance of car bon monoxide poisoning is high er during the winter months. The gas has no odor and no color, he said. Early symptoms are nauseau, dizziness and headache, he said, and iVinv nri freoucntlv attribu ted to other causes. The sym toms are soon followed by un consciousness and eventually death, he said. ui-t n AT ROSKRURG ROSEBURG (UPI) - John James Leach ol Koseourg was being held in tne uougias coun ty jail in lieu of $1,000 bail Sat urday on a charge of threaten in injury with intent to extort.
