PAPA PIGEON
CONTINUED From Page One)

Long billed mamas and papas
apparently aren't upset at hatch

short billed parents seem to make
out all right feeding long billed
youngsters.
But it's one baby sitting STU
alton that's really a life or death
matter.
Other pigeon facts, a la Han
son.
Pigenos come in all sizes,
shapes and c%olors, but their an
cestry can be traced back to one
bird: the ledge roosting blue rock
dove. This hardy pioneer is found
in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Early aviators had all sorts OF
trouble until one of them noticed
a tu,nbler pigeon. The tumbler
has known all along that a loop
the-loop must be done with a
sonssault backwards, not front
wards.
Mama pigeons sit on their eggs
from late afternoon until mid
morning. Then the old man takes
over.
After the eggs hatch, pa works
hardest at feeding the youngsters.
Racing pigeons are so conscient-
ious that papa will fly faster it
there are babies at home. HE
lust can't stand the thought of
the kids going to bed hungry,
explains Hanson.
Nobody knows how many
people raise pigeons in this eoun-
try, but it runs into the hundreds
of thousands.
These raisers have a royal pre-
cedent for their hobby. Queen
Victoria was crazy about pigeons,
and so was King George.
But v. and G. were Johnny
come latelies. Rameses III OF
Egypt Dragged about the fancy
birds he donated to various
temples.
The Roman Historian Pliny
tells of Lucius Axius, who paid
the equivalent of $75 for a pair
of pigeons.
Modern breeders will 60 higher
than that. GA pigeon has sold for
as much as $4,000. But don't tell
Pliny thought Lucius was bird

wav last Sunday, and commit
tee officials conceded privately
that so far it has not been a
success.
Reports from all sections IN
dictate that only partial support
was given by restaurants and
housewives to President Tru-
mans request that they refrain
from serving meat on Tuesday,
eggs and poultry on Thursday
and that every American save
at least one slice of bread a
day.
The restaurant industry h a
been particularly rebellious and
Luokman has scheduled ar
emergency conference with its
representatives tomorrow in an
effort to win it over.
Robert J. Wilson, secretary of
the National Restaurant Indus
try advisory committee, said
restaurant owners never have
felt that anything is saved
through meatless and poultry
less days"
"We don't want 10 buck he
President or make anybody
hua arv." he said. "But he add
cd that the industry's first duty
is 10 the American peopie and
"the people are not sold on this
thing"
Has Own Program
The industry has Its own con
sscvation program which does
not include meatless or poultry
less days. It calls instead for
sma portions, less waste,
better cooking and the use OF
more plentiful foods.

10 months after the present act

Van Buren, said that when they

Looking back over the ex-

were fully aware of the serious

counted how they rationed food
and water supplies until they
gave out, and of how they spread
bath towels out on the deck dur

to help him celebrate. Not once
was he told to slow down or rest.
A child's curiosity naturally
prompted the question: Why

Tommy's parents, Mr.. and

way:
Tommy has been in and out of
hospitals since last spring, when
his ailment was discovered. When
Christmas comes he might be
very i'll again and unable to be
