FOREST SERVICE CREWS GET 0KAY
 ON RENAL FIRE

Charles c. Burdick, Acting Re- gional Director of the U. s. Forest Servlce, granted permission last night to Virgil Heath to move his crew out of the Kenai National Forest to 6 point near Jean Lake to help combat the Kenai Peninsula forest fire.
 The request was made last night by Fish and Wildlife Agent Dan Ralston in a telegram to Game Management Supervisor Jack O'Con- nor. He said that this move would help keep the fire from spreading to the settlement of Coopers Land ing and to the Forest Service area in the event of another sudden shift of the wind. The fire is reported as still burning but as having been headed off in most directions.

Bird Feeding Station
Watched by Family
Prize Contribution.
By Haywood Nelson, II
lofoyefte School

In my back yard I have a bird
feeding station. It is fun to watch
the birds eat from the suet holder
and grain feeder. Both are attached
to tree so that our family can see
them from our breakfast room.
1t is nice to start the day by
watching the hungry birds. It is
fun to see what different birds eat.
The woodpeckers, nuthatchers and
chickadees like suet. The sparrows.
juncos and cardinals like different
seeds. The starlings and squirrels
are greedy and chase the small birds
away.
One day a sharp-shinned hawk
came into our yard, caught a spar
row and ate him. For nearly two
weeks the birds didn't come back
for fear the hawk would eat them.
I have had so far IA kinds Of birds
visit the station. I think that you
would enjoy watching the birds, just
as I have.

, MY mother has hobby which
consumes much of her spare time.
Fortunately, her pastime Is construc-
tive. and the results are pleasing
Mothers hobby. like that of many
women, is needle work. She spe-
cializes in crewel embroidery. The
term "crewel" comes from the weight
of the yarn that is used; 1t is heavier
than petit point, but only half as
heavy as tapestry yarn.
In the IS years she has done this
work mother has completed two
large wall hangings and is now busy
with a third. The first is her con-
ception of the 17th century Indian
Tree of Life" an ancient design
depicting all the idealistic urges of
mankind reaching toward heaven
The second is large gray-aqua vase
which matches the color Of the dav-
export. The third will be mod
ernized tree of life in dubonnet and
chartreuse, to blend with our din
ing room furnishings.
Although in accord with their re-
spective rooms, the color schemes
are based on the principle that gray
tones will not clash with each other.
Because of this, the first hanging
looked too dull to dad, so mother
made the next one in bright shades
to please him. The third sample,
back to gray again, will be my we'd
ding present-but I don't want 1t
at that price!
Pop and I kid nom about her
artistic endeavors all the time, but
she doesn't mind. When dad came
home and saw the second wall
hanging, he pretended to shield his
eyes from the glare and remarked,
"It's loudsy!" And when I told him
that the latest effort was supposed
to be a "Tree of Life" he took one
look and said: "Tree of Life? Looks
more like a mongrel shrub to mel"

Ourselves go.
BY Philip n. Love.


So many readers ask about The
Star comics-how far In advance
Of publication they are drawn, how
they are reproduced and how well
their creators are paid-that I'm
sure there is q great deal Of in
terest in the subject.
Well. the daily comics are drawn
anywhere from two to six weeks
before they are published. and the
Sunday ones even earlier.
All successful comics are distri-
buted by sales agencies called syn
dicates. The syndicates sell the
comics to newspapers throughout
the country. Usually, the artists are
paid on royalty basis; that Is,
they receive percentage of the
profits from the sale of their work.
Thus, how much cartoonist is paid
depends on how many papers buy
his comic. Taking the first example
that comes to mind, Harold Gray,
who draws Little Orphan Annie"
for the Chicago Tribune-New York
News Syndicate, is said to earn
more than 100000 a year.
The artist draws his comic with
black india ink on white bristol
board. The drawing is photo
graphed the size 1t is to appear in
the paper, and the resulting picture
is etched, with the aid OF chemicals,
into sheet of zinc. This complex
process, greatly simplified here, is
called photo-engraving, and the
metal into which it translates the
comic is a zinc etching, usually re-
ferred to as q "cut."
The syndicate makes dozens,
sometimes hundreds, of reproduce
tions Of the cut in cardbeardNks
material known as matrixes, or
mats" and sends them to the papers
buying the comic. From the mats.
the newspapers make casts which
are exactly like the original cuts,
except that they are lead instead
of zinc. In printing, cuts and casts
serve the same purpose.
Sunday comics are drawn and re-
produced in very much the same
way, the only important difference
being in the color work. The artist
tints his drawing with water -colors,
and the photo-engraving process
results in four separate cuts and
mats, one for each of the primary
colors and the other for black.
Only few printing plants in the
United States are equipped to turn
out color comic sections. The Stars
color comics are printed In Buffalo,
N. Y. and sent to Washington by
train. Today's comic section was
printed about three weeks ago.

Several weeks ago, a reader In
New Zealand was listed in this
column as wishing to correspond
with girls and boys of Washington
and vicinity. She received so many
letters that one of her schoolmates
has asked if she, too, can acquire
some "penfriends" through The
Junior Star.
Il would prefer a boy penfriend,
If possible, between Is and IT," June
Rainey says, but I think it would
be jolly to write to any girl who
would like to write to me between
those ages. My general interests
