Queer Birds That
Cont Fly

IN Uncle Sans air force, the
men who service the planes
but who never go up in the
air are known as "kiwis "-birds
that never fly.
The application of this sobri-
quet to the groundmen is not
merely a bit of army parlance-
for the word actually finds its
origin in a real bird that can't
take off.
The "kiwi," peculiar TO New
Zealand, is a queer-looking bird
with a round body covered with
soft feathers that look more like
brown fur.
The legs which support its glo.
bular body are very thick, with
three finger-like toes. It's bill is
long and flexible. and is used for
sucking up food from the
swamps and shallow streams.
Despite the fact that they are
wingless, the kiwis are fast run
ners. They are hunted by ma
tives with dogs, which pursue
Them TO the swamps where they
foolishly hide themselves by
sticking their heads into the
mud.
Centuries ago, wingiess birds
were quite common. Today, they
are a rarity. The weka, an
other New Zealand bird, and the
kiwi, seem to be the last remain
ing members of the slowly disap.
pearing family of wingless crea-
lures.
The extinct dodo - like the
hightless kiwi - was an earth
bound creature, too. and seems
to have actually existed, in spite
of opinions to the contrary. AS
late as the year 1926 Sir Thomas
Herbert, an English adventurer,
saw a dodo on the Island of Mau-
ritius in the Indian Ocean.
Sir Thomas described the bird
as round, fat and sometimes
weighing full so pounds, of mel
ancholy visage and wings unable
to hoist 1t from the ground

I'm WAR TIME. our national
forests are doubly important.
since their protection and
care are important contributions
TO our war effort. Timber from
them Is almost as necessary as
planes. tanks and guns. II. Is
therefore essential that they be
preserved.
Paramount Pictures does its
part In bringing out this fact In
noteworthy Aim called The
Forest Rangers" starring Paul
cite Goddard. Fred MacMurray
and Susan Hayward.
An interesting sidelight of the
picture is the methods now used
to combat forest fires.
In one thrilling episode. the
Ranger, played by Fred Mac
Murray, parachutes from his air
plane to save the lives of Paul
cite and Susan, who are trapped
in a circle of fire.
The Rangers are trained para
chutists, or Smoke jumpers.
who bail out over points where
blazes start. Since much of the
timber Is worked by private COM.
panies, logging for the govern
ment, extra special precautions
must be taken.
In the film Paulette is a sophis-
ticated miss visiting in the West
who falls in love with the Forest
Ranger. But Fred is beset by
the love of Susan Hayward who
wants him, too.
Paulette and Fred spend their
wedding night in the open coun-
try. Fred has gone TO take some
plaster impressions of footprints
found near a suspicious forest
fire. Susan Hayward demands to
be taken along. In spite, Susan
contrives that the car is SMASHED
and the trio are stranded forty
miles from the Ranger station.
The honeymoon night Is
spent 'bundiing. The three at
tempt to sleep, Paulette maneu-
vering for the middle. since she
isn't bit fooled by Susan's ac-
lions. The women attempt TO
out-trick one another TO gain
Fred's attentions The match
ends in a draw.
The next night just as Fred
and Paulette are about TO turn
in, a forest FIRE breaks out near
Susan's mill and once again the
wedding night is interrupted.
There has been a mysterious
arsonist at work and Fred is de-
termined TO catch him. His only
tons in the film. as well as some
neat tricks by the camera. TIE
forest fires, which threaten the
lives of the trio, are about as
thrilling as any we've seen on the
screen and the entire production
is tops. Incidentally, If you have
the gas or tires TO picnic in a
forest or woods, be sure your
clues are several burnt out wind
matches" found near the blazes.
OF course. we won't give away
the criminal. He got what he
deserved. And the way in which
he is trapped is about as cute a
piece of work as you'll find out
side OF Sherlock Holmes. But
like all criminals he gave him
self away.
