Went chariiin out home alter work Saturday all honed up for a goose dinner. I had the geese hanging outside to cool and all I had to do was butcher 'em and we'd eat. Only hitch was, no geese. Some would-be sportsman had apparent ly come along and seen them hanging there on the front ol the house and decided that this was easier than shooting 'em. So he drove up, snatched 'em oil the ; hoole and took 'em along. j He's going to be bitterly disup-i pointed, however. They were pret-j ty poor examples to have to take home. One, a fairly good young I speck, was all shot up; another, a cackler (shot In desperation be-; cause there wasn't anything else) j didn't weigh as much as a good ' mallard hen and the third was a j tiny little w I g e o n drake that wouldn't make a meal for a four year old. They had been hanging there for the better part of a week since I follow the old world system of hanging birds, guts and all. un til it reaches n condition which I consider perlect. I do wish though that whoever Rot away with the birds would bring or send back my duck strap. Not that It's worth any ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD The annual Christmas Bird Count for the Klamath Basin will be tak en by Uie memhers of the Nature Society and their friends on Sunday December 26 between the hours ol 8:00 a m. and 3:00 p.m. After 4:00 p.m. those who can will assemble at the home ol Mr, and Mrs. Law rence A. French, 1412 Crescent Avenue, to compare notes and start the compilation of the Christ mas Count, Those who cannot conic to this compilation session will phone their list to 4110, at that time. This post-mortem session of the Chrbtmas Count la without a doubt by far the most Interesting part of the Christmas Count, the exchange of experiences and the reports of those who picked up the less common species is the true high-light of the day. The more people who take place In tho Christmas Count, the more interesting becomes Uie post-mor tem session and the more vnluable becomes the check on the species present In the Klamath Basin at winter time, ns n sclcntillc study of bird life. The Society, thereiorc would extend an Invitation to everyone Interested in the bird life of the region to take a hand m this community enterprise. This does not mean everyone Is expect ed to get out Inlo the field and slog through miles of snow or even spend lmurs driving about the countryside by auio. A lew min utes about one's homo yard -may olten bring some bird Into the list that whs missed by those who went into the Held. The Society would like to obtain more reports Horn people who are maintaining bird feeding stations. The Christ mas Count Is by no means a test of one's enduruncc. Likewise one netd not be an "ex pert" In the field Identlllcatlon ol all species but those who would ilko to know more about work In the field do have the opportunity of Joining one of the several part ies who will be In the Held. The Christmas Count is an organized eflort and the Held parties arc as signed definite areas of the Klam ath Basin, for this reason, the So ciety would like to know In ad vance tho names of all who will volunteer to do a bit o Bird Watch ing on this day In order that the field parties need not explore that particular area. The Society enn be contacted through J. L. O'Donahue, phone 0M3 or at J. w. Kerns farm store.

It Just happens to be one of those hunting heirlooms that has been passed down from father to son and possesses a certain sentimental value. I can think back over a hundred hunts where I've carried the old strap, remember unusual flights ol birds, good and bad hunting, the Joys and pleasures of being out with good fellows. All the things that go with a hunting trip. No questions asked. Olten I've sat beside a frozen pond and laughed myself sick when ducks would come down and out on their cmlc show when they hit the slick Ice and skidded for yards on their tails. But this morning I saw a bunch of quail havuig the same trouble on the Fremont bridge. They were feeding along the edge ol the bridge on spilled grain and when we came along elected to run rath er than fly. The surface of the road was Icy with frozen frost and the poor birds were having a hard time floundering along. They would run like a scalded cat for a second and then their feet would go out from under them and they'd sprawl all over the place like a fat man falling on an Icy slope. For some reason or other they never did start to fly. They Just kept on floundering and slipping un til they reached the eno ol the bridge and ducked Into the weeds. life as thcie are few areas In the nation which have a richer supply of various species of birds than the Klamath Basin. The Nature So ciety for several years has been working upon a check list of the Birds of the Klamath Basin, that list Is now above 250 species and still Is believed to be Incomplete. - People of all time have found the bird life about them one ot the interesting studies of nature. John Muir expressed this in the follow ing words: "Love of song-birds, with their sweet human voices, appears to be more common and unfailing than love of flowers. Everyone loves flowers to some extent, at least In life's fresh mornuig, attracted by them as Instinctively as humming birds and bees. Even the young Digger Indians have sufficient love for the brightest of those found growing on the mountains to ga ther them and braid them as dec orations for the hair. And I was glad to discover, through the few Indians Hint could be Induced to talk on the subject, that they have names for the wild rose and the lily and other conspicuous flowers, whether available for food or other wise. Most men, however, whether savage or civilized, become apath etic inward all plants that have no other apparent u;e than the use of beauty. But fortunately one's Hist instinctive love of song-birds is never wholly obliterated, no mat ter what the influences upon our lives may be. I hove often been delighted to see it pure, spiritual glow come Inlo the countenances of hard business-men and old miners, when a nong-bird chanced to alight near them. Nevertheless, the little mouthful of meat that swells out the breasts of some song-birds is loo often the cause of Ihelr death. Larks hnd Robins In particular are uroug.it to the market by Iran-1 dreds." Eighty years has made quite a i change In human attitude toward ' lhe smaller birds since today lewj pernio 'tmilri .t,iu n, cu.!..

It is about the dedication Mon day of a Memorial Press Center here in New York for 82 newsmen and women who died serving, as 'our faith goes, "a free press in a free world." Ernie Pyle, of course, can't be there. His elfin smile is about mid way between the picture of Webb Miller, the brilliant United Press correspondent killed In a blackout accident in darkened London in 1940, and Bob Capa, regarded by many as the greatest combat pho tographer of his time. Bob bumped into a land mine this year in Indochina, while trying to grab another of the shots he was fam ous for. Like Ernie's before him, his good friend, he wore his luck too lor. Death took in his passing a wonderful Hungarian smile, a fine artist, and a lousy poker player. Monday night in an unusual tele vision show all 82 will be honored between 8 and 9:30 (ESTi over the NBC network.

JORDAN, M.D. "I am plagued with cold sores on my nostrils and seem to get hm ,.. mn,h tnem once a month," a corres pondent complains. "I have tried all sorts of remedies but nothing seems to help, Any suggestions?" This problem of recurring cold sores is by no means unusual around the nostrils or the lips. Although this trouolesome condi tion is most likely to develop when someone has an Infection like pneu monia or is run down physically .some people In- apparently cxcel- lent health have recurring trouble without any apparent reason. The medical name for a cold sore is herpes simplex. The cause ,s a virus. This virus is a living organism which also can produce a reaction In susceptible animals, especially rabbits. It Is difficult to know why her pes behaves as it does. One would expect Ihat It would be contracted only from another person who har bors the virus. Actually it does not seem to be highly contagious but comes mostly when the resistance Is weakened by any one ol several causes, including infectious dis eases, artificial fever ticu.monts, certain vaccinations and overex posure to lhe sun.

You write In your editorial: "He would have used better judgment if he had kept his mouth shut at this moment In history." Senator Joe McCarthy has the courage of his convictions. Judg ing by the strength and arrogance of the Chinese communists and the plight of the American boys in their prisons, it's later than you think. Much too long have Ameri cans kept their mouths shut. Mouths were kept shut when these very communists were being spoon-fed Into husky growth by our own American leaders. Remember that Elsenhower was not silent """ Hc WM not neutral In the Percss case. He Is not neutral In his vig orous defense of General George C. Marshall, who had an active part In Asian policy which in volved these very communists. It's about time Americans for America showed more vigor In the defense of America and her boys than is displayed In the cotton candy approach. The world is aflame.
