Bird With Tail That
Isn't Tail Shot by
Ypsilanti Sportsman

A bird with a tail that wasn't a
tail. that's what Harold Mcdonnell,
RID. 3, shot on the last day of the
hunting season.
Mr. Mcdonnell shot cock pleas.
ant near Walled Lake. Apparently
the bird was normal except that It
did not have the five sickle tail
feathers that look so we'll on hats
this. season. Examination proved
that the bird had a tail but 1t was
short and stubby like rabbits and
felt as soft to the touch.
Curiosity got the best OF the
hunter and Ben Sovey. Ypsilanti
High School science instructor, was
asked to examine the odd bird. The
skin had grown about six inches
beyond the point from which the
sickle feathers ordinarily grow.
Around this skin appeared short,
soft feathers. called fluff feathers.
Thisstype OF feather grows close TO
the body of the bird as a protective
coating. said Mr.. Sovey.
Evidently, explained the instruc-
tor. the tissue around the tail was
injured In the egg stage or when the
bird was young. The injury may
have been due to the blow of a
glancing bullet. The feathers were
replaced by extra tissue and skin
and the protective covering of fluff
feathers appeared.

Cleary Students Told Of
Office Service Importance

In looking for a position, Mr..
Shull stressed the importance Of
personal research regarding the
salary scale. working conditions
and financial responsibility OF
in the field OF work
in which a person is interested.
Mr.. Shull recommended organi-
cations in which the policy is 10
advance a person within the or
ganization to fill top positions
when they become open rather
than TO hire outside persons to
fill them. Even though an indivl-
dual would have to start lower
down on the scale of wages and
work in such an organization, Mr..
Shull pointed out that there would
be more security and greater pos
sibility OF advancement in working
for such companies. Mr.. Shull
closed his talk with the remark
to the students that, "A fellow
