and the Soviet Union. They breed
every year on the Pribilof Islands OF
Alaska, and it was here that they
were slaughtered by thousands in the
old days.
A vigilant watch Is maintained now
to prevent poachers from taking the
valuable pelts.
The seal seems to have descended
from some form of land animal, since
the bones in their legs and flippers
match the bones in the legs and feet
of land carnivora.
The typical five toes OF the land
type still show in the toenails or
claws of the seals flippers.
The SEALS back flippers are his pro-
pellers, and the front serve merely as
balancers and rudders.
Seals still show their attachment
for the land by coming ashore during
the breeding season. Oddly enough,
baby seals must be taught to swim by
their mothers before they can venture
into water over their heads.

Occasionally one is reported

A few harbor seals in years past

The Eastern seals breed in New

comes from the West Coast. Many
of them are found in Pudget Sound

The fur of the harbor seal is too

OF a special disaster committee of the

The amount of clothing contributed
has been far in excess of the needs of

amount has been sent to flood sufferers
In Western Maryland.
County welfare officials believe, how

ing out of the county it should be held

On the other hand, the Red Cross
points out that the articles were con-
tributed for flood refugees and thinks
