Porky was always solemn, and he was usually spceulntlnit In his alow mind about trues; for to Porky llioro ara trees and trees. Soma live Imvo pitch on them auitlia IwIkk nro hitler, but aoina trae luivo such sweet tender twiH, and Die bulk Is so detectable that Polity's no.io twitched at the thought of them. Trees, twigs and brunches are to Porky what ontmoul, oiiiiikun and toast ore to boys and girls, Tliero Is ono thing which Porky likes bettor than these, however, Just ns boys and girls Ilka Ico cream butler than oatmeal, and that Is salt. How that Porky does like his salt. This particular treo looked all right lo Porky ho ho stuck. his long claws, four on each of his front feel and five on each of his hind feet, Into tho trunk and with tho help of his tail, moved leisurely up toward tho branches. Kvorythlng he does Is done with out hurry and without fuss Just as long as ho Is let alone. Whlln ho was getting himself up into tho treo preparatory to making his breakfast off some of tho tender twigs, llttlo girl cume out of the house and spy ing tiro movement up the treq went curiously over to see what Unit strange bristly animal could be. She was a very, very llttlo girl and hud never seen a por cuplno before. Unfortunately for him, Porky hud chosen n treo in tho llttlo girl's backyard, Instead of going down lo the lako below where there wcro lots of flno trees and whero ho could havo gone Just as well, Tho very lltllo girl's excitement brought her iniuiin to the door and sho snatched her child up and carried her away at once, for Porky has a bud reputation. Like lots of bad reputations, Porky' is built on misinforma tion. The Utile girl's mama, like lots of other people, thought that all Porky had to do, if ho want cd to, was to throw his quills at the child, and of course nobody wants to sen a Utile girl stuck full of porcupine quills. So the lltllo girl's mumn, believing ns she did that tho animal could dlschargo its quills as ono dis charges an arrow from a bow, took tho proper measures and at nnro called the Immune society. Presently tho ambulance ar rived and Porky was captured, quills and all, and taken out to tho city park whero he has all tho twigs ho wants nnd In addi tion, salt for dessert (wo hope.) What a big difference a small decision can mako In tho lives of boya and girls and porcupines. Hod Porky decided to climb n treo down on tho lake shore he would huvo had his freedom but no salt. Now ho has a worm cago that Is warm enough for his comfort), not much freedom but probably an assured living, with salt. Persons who bollcvo thut por cupines cun throw their quills at will should not bo criticized for it In a belief of long tunneling and wus probably originated because a porcupine's quills are very loosely utluclied and a vigorous shako of its body dislodges them. Another erroneous belief about porcupines la that they can curl themselves up Into a bristling bull, A porcupine Jim a very lender arid vulnerable nose. To protect this ho will tuck his nose between his paws, nnd hurnp his back, lie may look Jike a ball of quills but he docs not really try for this effect. Porky stays' at home quite closely In tho wlntor time. How ever on a sunny day ho comes out to nip at bark and twigs. He lives In n burrow or crcvlco In tho rocks. In tho . summer, If you uro camping In the woods, ho may visit you and chew anything you havo left around In tho woy of gloves or leather helui for tho salt from perspirn lion of the wearer. Ho has been known to use his long front teeth to chisel through doors and floors If ho detect salt on the other side. Porky Is among tho largest of rodents, belonging to the snmo tribe as rots, mice, squirrels and chipmunks. He has been known to grow until he weighed as much as 25 or 30 pounds. Porcuplnra do not lend themselves to domestication. Kven skunks have been domesti cated and mode into pets but does nnyono know of a pot por cuplnu? Tho Klumutn and Modoc In dians prized the quills of the por cupine highly as u decorative me dium for their baskets and cere monial robes. Tho quills take dyo beautifully and they were used to work patterns In the baskets. Many an exploring finger, feeling around the Inside of a Klamath bBsket, has felt the sharp prick of point which had not been removed. Because these points nro barbed like a fish hook they ore especially dan gerous to another anlma! attack ing this well armed rodent. Mountain lions have been found which hod starved to death be cause of an Jll-Judged attack on a porcupine which had left the cat with a throat full of the quills. These worked In deeper and dcoper, eating became Im possible, and starvation ended thn agony. Contrary to tho usual belief that his flesh is sweet and ton flcr, tho porcupine does not make the most desirable food. However, tho flesh can b eaten In an emergency and many a pi oneer hunter has availed himself of porcupine flesh when it be came expedient, . . .

' Lunch Pail Meals Should Be "FWina" The lunch pall has become of Increasing importance to most homomakers these days, with so many men working day and night shifts In defense Industries, In addition to school children needing to pack lunches, says Wlnnifrcd K. Glllcn, ejiairmnn of the Klamath county nutsltlon committee for defense. An esti mated eight million-persons daily eat their midday or midnight meal from a lunch box. Mrs, Mabol Muck, extension nutritionist at Oregon State col lege, lias recently given some suggestions on how to provide "a lunch that packs a punch" which Is so necessary as a basis of unfailing energy and steady nerves of working men and women ond school children. Use of some Imagination and careful planning Is tho basis of success ful lunches day after day, says Mrs. Mack. She lists as cardinal rules for lunchbox preparation the following: Energy Foods Wrap fods neatly, strive for variety In every lunch; see .that the lunch provides at least one third of tho day's food needs; season foods well, and take time to prepare a good lunch. "A lunch needs to be planned In relation to the man's break fast and his evening meal. Total food requirements for the day may he checked in extension bul letin 502. 'Food lo Keep You Kit,' available at any extension office," points out Mrs. Mack. "A man who does hard physical work needs a generous supply of energy foods, with emphasis on high calorie foods that also contain minerals and vitamins. Good examples are whole-grain cereals, enriched breads, starchy vegetables, dried beans, peas and soy beans, peanuts, peanut but ter, and dried fruits. Fillings Vary "Sandwiches are the mainstay of practically every lunch, but they need to be made so they will 'stick to the ribs.' This means thick slices of bread with plenty of filling. Many kinds of bread may be used to avoid monotony, such as whole or cracked wheat, rye, nut, orange, soy bean, and enriched while bread. Roast meat sandwiches are always a favorite with men, but other hearty sandwich fill ings Include deviled egg, broiled liver, heart, tongue, bacon. v - BANG-UP GOOD TIME Is had by WAAtf band cymbalist. The women's army musical organi zation, coached by an RAF sergeant, puts an a fine show to parades. corned beef, cream cheese and nuts, salmon and pickle, baked beans mixed with catsup or salad dressing, peanut butter, and grated or sliced cheese. AH sorts of seasonings and salad dressings have a real place lo sandwich fillings as they help avoid monotony." Various vegetable fillings may be made by chopping or grating raw vegetables and mixing with salad dressing or soft butter. Hot soups, as well as hot beverages. may be put in thermos bottles, though milk is the first choice as a nutritious beverage. Desserts are best kept simple, using fresh fruit in season or canned fruits packed in small jars with tight fitting lids. Cookies, cake, or fruit pies, all made with enriched flour, are excellent choices, she said. If it's a "frozen" article you need, advertise for a used one in the classified. . . REP. PIM ASSAILS SUIT AGAINST AP WASHINGTON, Dee. 10 OF) Describing the Justice depart ment's anti-monopoly suit against the Associated Press s "evidence of a determined effort on the part of the bureaucrats at Wash ington to freeze the bill of right," .Representative Plumley (R-Vtj asserted today there was "no justifiable excuse for an at tack on freedom of the press." Ha described the action at "more than a lawsuit" and said it was "an effort to take some thing away from the people that is needed now as never before In our history. Concealed Weapons "The monopoly suit against the Associated Press seeks to ac complish a total governmental control, to constitute a greater monopoly, as it, under its guise of relief for the public, would allegedly destroy a lesser," Plum ley said. "In the attempt of the admin istration circuilously and sur reptitiously to throttle a free press, there Is concealed a weapon even more potent and dangerous and poisonous than was its effort to control the court." He said the government "al ready holds the power of life and death over Tadio," and gives orders to the motion picture In dustry, leaving tha newspapers as "our bulwark, frank, fie and fearless." 7 Nw York Cafes Accused oi Failure To Declare Coffee NEW YORK, Dec, 10 W fn the first trials ot their kind In the nation, seven New York restaurants were convicted yes terday by an office of price ad ministration examiner of failure to declare coffee slocks properly in recent rationing registration.
