Wildfowlcr
By BILL JENKINS
It Is seldom indeed that editor
ial writers or columnists come
right out with an out-and-out plug
for anyone. However, despite the
threat of payola thai hangs like
a grim cloud over the news world
today, I'm ahout to say nice things
about a commercial product,
I should perhaps explain that
I have not been asked to do this,
have been offered nothing and
won't get anything for saying
these words. I say them merely
because in yesterday's mail I got
a wish book (catalog if you prefer)
of such fetching nature that 1
can't help saying something about
it and the product.
Just the name of the place is
Intriguing: Wildfowlcr Decoys,
Inc. And the address is of the
stuff dreams are made of. They
may be reached at their factory
on Montauk Highway, Quoguc, L.I.,
New York.
The name Wildfowlcr will be fa
miliar to almost all sholgunncrs
as the manufacturers of this coun
try's finest solid and hollow wood
duck and goose decoys, These de
coys are real works of art and
someday, when I'm old and rich,
I'm going to own a set of them.
But their newest catalog (Gifts
by Wildfowlcr I is a departure
Irom the gunners' marshes and
the windswept bays of the East
ern Shore. It deals with the decor
ative end of the business.
In its brief pages are noted
such items as a hand carved wood
cock made from mahogany with an
ebony bill. This miniature bird is
more than just a carving. It is
trt.
There are duck-decorated ther
mometers and barometers. Serv
ing trays with duck and goose
scenes.
But fairest of them all arc
the various hand carved and hand
painted ducks for decorative uses.
There arc, for instance, hand
carved replicas of hlue winged
teal in cither hand-rubbed antique
finish or in full colors. There arc
magnificent, full-size ornamental
mallards in full color. There arc
A matchboxes of wood decorated
with miniature carved ducks
Goose and duck heads carved in
full relief for wall decorations
Oversize duck heads cast in alum
inum for paperweights. Lamps
with linen shades and beautifully
done blue or grcenwinged teal
mounted on the base.
There are bookends galore, bot
tie openers and painted china, all
with duck and goose patterns.
There are duck head gun racks
where you can store your favorite
scattorguns.
There are cast andirons in duck
patterns, door slops and a multi
tude of other items.
They even have decorative min
Jaime ducks mounted on driftwood
for use in table arrangements,
As I say, I just couldn't sit
here in the office, staring out at
the weather, dreaming about
other duck season without saying
something about that catalog
tWish book if you prefer.)
After all, ordering something
from a place on Montauk High
way, Quogue, L.I., New York,
worth it just for the fun of writ
ing the address.

NOW, let's take a look at the
budget deliberations on mathemat
ics and science at KUHS.
ORDINARY budgetary items for
mathematics reflected little in
crease. The group approved in
structional supplies for $169. main
tcnance and replacement for $15
and capital outlay for $125.
However, a big item amounted
to $3,120. This item eventually
found its way into the expendi
tures for instruction section.
The money is for a special
mathematics project and is a 1 1
(alary.
Last year, KUHS hired Howard
Bailey to write a new course of
instruction for mathematics 1 and
2 and paid out a similar sum.
This year, the $3,120 was to go
-for the preparation of a working
textbook for mathematics .1- and
4 and for revisions in mathemat
ics 1 and 2.
The salaries Included $200 week
ly for six weeks for Howard
Bailey, $150 a week for four
weeks for Don Ross, $150 weekly
for two weeks for two oilier p
sons, $60 weekly for eight weeks
for a stenographer, and $240 budg
eted for two students for f o u r
weeks for stapling, f'ng and
other tasks.
IT WAS the board's feeling that
the money was well spent, and
that the updated mathematics in
struction (hat would result was of
material benefit to the school.
In this we were all in complete
agreement.
THE SCIENCE program (biol

ogy, chemistry, physics, general
science, etc.) was allocated $1,583
for instructional materials, up
from $1,257 last year. Sixty five
dollars was added for minor re
pairs on apparatus and equipment
in science rooms, and $2,854 was
approved for capital outlay. This
amount was necessary to provide
proper equipment for new lab ta
bles which were expected to ar
rive shortly.
However, we weren't through
with the science figures, as we
found out later when we came
back, once again, to federal
matching funds.
INSTRUCTIONAL supplies as
such, not departmentalized, totaled
$4.9.12 with another $1,285 allocat
ed for instructional materials.
Industrial arts was another big
budget field, and covered such
high school activities as auto me
chanics, machine shop, mechani
cal drawing, radio, retail selling
trades and industries and wood
working.
These courses are taught, pri
marily, for those students who
might not desire or be able lo
proceed on lo college and could
graduate from high school with a
practical trade.
All these courses are apparent
ly eagerly sought, however, and
cport constantly expanding enroll
ment.
OF THESE classes, woodwork-
ng required the largest budget,
ncluding $2,000 for instructional
supplies. This money was to go
(or lumber, sandpaper, screws,
hinges, glue, finish, nails, etc.
This department gets a tremen
dous boost from the Weyerhaeuser
Company which furnishes them
with mill ends free in large quan
tities every year.
Budget consideration was also
given to replacement of woodwork
ing tables, six of them for $354.
Also, a replacement program in
the mechanical drawing depart
ment, which has been running sev
eral years for desks, switched to
stools with the budgeting of $240
(or 30 metal 26-inch stools. Draw
ing sets for $110 and drawing
boards for another $00 were
among t lie items.
TOMORROW, let us lake a look
at the instructional budget as re
gards teachers, coaches, clerical
service and others in KUHS.

Five thousand packets of wild-

Richiield Is doing its part again

Each packet contains a bcauti

the flora indigenous to the Pacific
slope and adjacent slates of West

Instructions for planting the
seeds are included. A great many
of the plants will rcseed in your
garden and multiply over the
years especially the California
poppies.
They can be planted out of doors
as soon as the ground can be
worked.
This spring is anticipated as
one of the best yet for flamboy

The answer was brief and effec

The man-of-the-week: Foreign
Minister Raul Roa of Cuba
The place: Havana.
The quote: "The revolutionary
government of Cuba rejects, be
cause they are insulting, the slate
ments made by the North Ameri
can secretary of state, Mr. Chris
tian Ilcrlcr. . ."
Cuba thus rejected United States
criticism of Premier ridel Las
no s charges that I he U.S. was
implicated in (he explosion of
French munitions ship in Havana
Harbor last Friday.
It gave an ironic twist to the
steadily deteriorating relations be
tween the Uniled Stales and Cas
tro's Cuba, coming as it did from
a government which for months
has conducted a vicious anti-U S
campaign which the U.S. usually
has chosen lo ignore or turn away
with soft words.
Just how had Hertcr insulted
Cuba?
He had summoned Cuban
Charge D'Affaires Dr. Enrique
Patterson and inlormed him that
the Castro charges were "base
less, erroneous and misleading
There was speculation that
some of the violence of the Cuban
reaction was a cover-up for the
(act that no evidence had been
uncovered lo support Castro's
claim that the munitions ship was
"sabotaged," much less that the
United States had anything to do
with it.
Haul Una, the man vvho reject
ed (he U.S. criticism, is a slight

gray hair.

sity professor. And before that he
was a Communist.
His full name is Raul Roa
Garcia, although the "Garcia"
seldom is used. When the Com
munist Party came to Cuba near
ly 30 years ago he was one of its
ioundcrs.
Today, he is reported to be
part of a Communist internation
al triumvirate assigned to run
Cuba. The other members are list
ed as Castro's brother, Raul, and
the Argentine, Che Guevara, who
now heads up Cuba's National
Bank while Raul heads the army.
Those who know Roa well de
scribe him as a brilliant intellec
tual, a quiet, outwardly unassum
ing man who wields a whiplash
tongue.
He flitted in and out of Cuba
during the regime of former Pres
ident Fulgencio Batista and is
well known in Mexico where he
served as an exchange professor.
He formerly was a frequent
contributor to newspapers and has
attended Inter American Press
Association meetings as a dele
gate from Mexican lot wing pub
lications. He has represented Cas
tro at meetings of the Organiza
tion of American States.
Roa assumed of I ice after Cas
tro's television firing of revolu
tionary President Manuel Urrutia,
and since has just about cleaned
out the Foreign Ministry's career
workers. In their places have
come known Reds or Red sympa
thizers, all of them capable.

zation of Roa:

By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK API-Things a
columnist might never know if he
didn't open his mail:
The average home is almost as
dangerous as the average high
way. Home accidents are respon
sible for a death every 19 minutes,
a nonfatal injury every 8 seconds.
Probably never again will we
elect as president a man born in
log cabin. As recently as 1035
two out of three births took place
homes. Now 95 out of a 100
babies are born in hospitals.
The bald eagle has a number of
bad traits for one thing, it's
robber but it is a very loyal
parent. Even if the tree in which
il is nesting is set on fire, it will
not desert its young.
Virginia has three rivers named
Cowpasture, Bullpasture and Calf
pasture. Signs of the times: one is in a
slore here: "Old furniture we buy.
Antiques we sell. '
A liritisn government survey
found that two - thirds of all di
vorces occurred among couples
that had one child or none. Di
vorces were twice as high among
couples who married before the
age of 20, and divorces were least
among those who married at 24
and had at least two children.
Government officials estimate
(hat by 1970 nearly half of all
women aged 35 to 64 will be in
(he labor force, and 12.2 per cent
(15 and over will be holding down
jobs.
The world's largest tombstone
and one of history's greatest gov
ernment boondoggle protects is
the 5.000-year-old Great Pyramid
of Cheops near Cairo. It required
he muscle of 100.000 men working
three months a year for 30 years.
Our quotable notables: Mark
Twain, an astute observer of the
political scene, once commented:
Fleas can be taught anything
that a congressman can."
Men like to joke about women's
hats, but here's what it takes to
make a man's hat: 6 rabbit pelts,
the labor of some W people, 120
different processes, and 84 gallons
of water!
One thing the Russians did in
vent is bridge. This card game,
first mentioned in 1886, was then
