Somebody saved me a little

a rude bhock.
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

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.

In tho Christmas Count, the more

becomes the check on the species

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

slog through miles of snow or even
spend lmurs driving about the
countryside by auio. A lew min

that whs missed by those who
went into the Held. The Society
would like to obtain more reports

Christmas Count is an organized

volunteer to do a bit o Bird Watch

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

NEW YORK in I wish Ernie
Pyle were alive to write this story.
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. It Is sponsored
by RCA and the Ford Motor Co.,
but although it is a tribute to re
porters who knock at portals be
yond our present knowing, -"many
of us in the newspaper business
think the public will find it worth
watching.
We hope It will have both heart
knocks and fun In It, but naturally
we must wait and see about that.
Among the performers who are
contributing their art and time
are Bob Hope, Sid Caesar, Martha
Raye, and John Daly.
As of this writing a great soldier
under whom a number of the now-
dead newsmen serviced will take
part In the program. He Is Gen.

the United States.

Newspaper people generally are
an inverted folk with our own pe

expect no fame except the some
times grudging praise we give
each other, recognizing a Job done
well by the standards we believe
in - and nobody else knows at all.
Yet it Is well to have this me

The medical name for a cold

especially rabbits.

Telling The Editor
MCCARTHY PRAISED
You heave condemnation on
Senator Joe McCarthy, using the
same words, parroting the very
phrases of the left wingers. 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
