SwaHou,s Return,
10 Capistrano

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calf.
march 10 -tP)- Despite wartime
travel difficulties, a flock of swal.
lows fluttered down on the San
Juan Capistrano Mission today,
maintaining a strict schedule Of
their traditional St. Joseph's Day
arrival.
AS usual, half dozen advance
agents made their appearance yes
terday to scout housing conditions.
The rest of the travellers showed
up at $50 this morning, just 10
minutes later than last year. They
Immediately began to renovate
their adobe residences with an,
occasional squabble to evict spar
row squatters.
Legend relates that the swallows
have arrived on St. Joseph's day
every year since the Mission was
founded by the order of St. Francis
IN 1776, with only rare mira ctions
OF schedule. Guesses have placed
their winter quarters in the Aguas-
calientes region of Mexico, Central
America or even Palestine.
