a fat fee are irritated to have the
nonchalant swans swim right up to
their decoys, stick their shoots down
into the waters of the sound and
eat up the wild feed, roots and all.
Because of his table manners, the
swsn is driving the aonkers into
nearby soybean fields. There, ac-
cording to Brown, the farmers long
since figured out how much they
could get from a pound of soybeans
versus q pound of geese, at $40 per
day per blind The soybeans have
come out a bad second and conse-
quently a lot of them are left in
the fields. 1t might appear that the
swans would follow the geese into
the bean fields, but according to
Tom Gay, New Bern, N. c., guide,
the swans find it difficult to take
OF from the fields. Swans are quite
numerous in Currituck and Lake
Mattamuskeet, and many people
think the protection being given
these birds has permitted them to
develop into q nuisance.

fox in our column. In his letter he
states There are many enemies OF

prove to any fair minded man that
foxes s-re protectors of upland game
birds. He states that if you kill all
the foxes, you soon will have no
quail as the snakes, rats, meadow
mice, moles, ETC., will become SC
numerous they will destroy the crop
of upland game birds by eating the
eggs, or If by chance the quail hatch
they will fall victims to these preda-
tors before they can fly and points
out cases where this has happened
and also to cases where quail and
foxes live In abundance on fenced
in preserves where no shooting Il
permitted.
We don't remember ever being
unfair to foxes In our column, but
if we have, we most humbly apolo-
gize. We like the fox. He is one
smart critter and usually able tc
take care of himself. However, in
areas such as ours where cover Is
so sparse and where the quail is
hunted SO heavily and kept thinned
down by man, he and his broods
need protection against not only the
fox, but every other predator when
their numbers become excessive
Quail cannot stand the inroads oi
both predators and men. Our foa
population has been too large ano
needs thinning, but we'd hate to SCI

SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. SACK
Bromwich, a member Of the defeated

believes that Australia's present
players are quite capable of regain
ing the Davis Cup" in 1947.
In an article published by the
Sydney Morning Herald, Bromwich
declared my confidence for 1947 Is
based on the belief Australia will
challenge in American zone and that
Australia's team will play at VIM
bledon before going to America. The
advantage of that is that our repre-
sentatives would have solid match
play against the best players on

Orphan Girl
Discovered Here
Posing as Boy

Police Chief Kershaw this week
disclosed the unusual story of a
Is year old girl who, until pick
ed Up by local police last Sat-
urday evening, had been posing
as a boy during the last year
and a half.
The identity of the orphan
girl, who left the Oregon home
Of persons who had befriended
her, was not revealed. She was
born and raised near Portland,
Oregon, and has a twelve year
old sister whose whereabouts re-
mains unknown.
Chief Kershaw stated that he
had observed the youngster soon
after her Cor hisD arrival in Ken
newick SOME two weeks ago.
At first it was believed that the
youth was living at some nearby
trailer camp. Police picked her
up Saturday evening, however,
after she had been found sleeping
in automobiles on city streets
and in local parking lots.
According to Chief Kershaw's
description, the girl is no tough
ie", but left her adopted home
because she disliked homework
and preferred being a boy" She
liked work in the outdoors far
more than what she considered
the humdrum routine Of an or
binary female existence.
Throughout the last eighteen
months the young transient has
worked at mems jobs, principally
on farms, in Oregon, Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming, and Washington.
The girl smoked a pipe at times,
an additional feature Of the male
disguise. She came to Kenne-
wick from Tacoma, and had been
working as an asparagus picker
in this locality.
The police have released her
to the juvenile officer Of the well
fare department, and an attempt
will be made to find home for
her. Although she still would
rather be a boy than a girl, she
admitted that she had had enough
of the open road, and was sure
that she could be happier il she
could find a new home.
