Natures Children
By liIIion Cox Athey

From April sto September the
shelving cliffs are literally clothed
with gannets on the island Of
Bonaventure. A rugged circle about
two and a half miles in diameter
Is a sanctuary for gannets and other
birds. It's highest point is about
600-feet above sea level The gannet
colonies are the largest in the world.
Gannets are known to great
many because they range all down
oer Atlantic Coast to Florida. They
aSe never seen inland unless blown
there by a wind storm. These very
iareS graceful flyers are 3-feet long
with q 6-foot wing spread. When
landfne the wedge-shaped feathers
of the tail are depressed, the large
feet spread to check skidding when
the flyer comes to earth. He applies
his brakes skillfully. making, the
landing field with precision, un-
conscious and unconcerned about
the baby sitters on the stony shelf
already crowded to capacity.
The mothers are not overworked,
the cradle is merely a pillow of sea-
weed collected from the beach and
there in only one baby. The mother
sits with her tail pointed out to
sea; her head facing the rocks. The
cradles are so close together they
are In single file. Within q few
days after the naked wobbly-
necked baby arrives. it Is clothed
In q yellow downy coat. Immature
plumage Is spotty and full plumage
ls not acquired until Junior is three
years-old. Then it is beautiful
white with brown wing and tail
tips and crown Of soft pale brown.
Gannets fish from q low position
In the water. They fly over school
of hurrying fish spearing them with
their sharp long bill. If the fisher
man spies . larger fish far below
the surface, he tucks his feathers
close and plunges below. Rarely
missing his target. you soon see him
coming to the surface to enjoy it.

have contemplated. There wasn't
much for North to do. but double,
and South, feeling that he was
being talked out" of things by the
uncomfortable West, decided to
try for game instead of the penalty
and tried five hearts. North could
hardly resist the temptation to
60 on.
West opened the ace of spades
and the hand is won or lost on
declarer's play from dummy at the
very first trick. Pitard could see
that his work was cut out for him.
The club finesse was indispensable
to success. but that is not all; for,
even with the king favorably located,
there was still q club loser to fret
about, unless West held the double !
ton Hng-jack, which would take
care Of itself. There was a good
chance that Vests ace was a
singleton. At any rate the chances
OF East holding the Jack Of spades
were very good, so that on that
basis 1t was safe to discard the king
of spades from dummy. The reason
for this unlocking play will
presently be seen. If East holds a
club stopper in the form Of the
guarded jack he may not be able
to hold on to everything as the
myriads of trumps are run by de-
clarer.
West continued with the queen
of diamonds, which was very well
taken by the declarer's side. After.
trumps were drawn South took the
club finesse, which held, and, when
the king fell under the ace, things
began to look up When all but
one of the trumps had been led
this was the holding:
NORTH EAST SOUTH

Q none . none . none

On the lead of the last heart
from dummy, East finds it impos-
sible to discard safely. Note how
differently the hand developes If
North has retained the king Of
spades at the very first trick.

all round good cooking, we like
Irna Rombauer's The Joy Of
Cooking" Many magazines put
out good general cook books, too.
For instance, The Better Homes
and Gardens Cook Book" and
THE Good Housekeeping Cook
Books" are both excellent. The
New York Herald Tribune's Home
Institute also puts out a good
cook book. We have found each
OF these books useful, and Of
course we rely heavily on the
Boston Cooking Schools cook
book.
We have found delicious reci-
pes in "And the Greeks" a
book Of Greek recipes. Princess
Alexandra Kropotkin's How To
Cook and Eat in Russian" has
many exotic dishes. We love
Dione Lucas Gordon Bleu Cook
Book" and a great favorite for
salads in Genevieve Callahan's
California Cook Book"
One Of our favorte cook
books contains many old, old
recipes from New Orleans. and
Is put out by the New Orleans
Times -Picayune. Some Of the
measurements are a bit heavy

find any number Of delicious

CENTER
! CITY

GREAT civilizations of Greece
and Rome, the Market Place was
a spot where the whole town
gathered. Here, citizens heard
the latest news, viewed the latest
works Of art, and discussed philo-
sophy. The Market Place was
not only q gathering place in
which to buy food and clothing,
1t was q cultural center.
The management Of Center
Market City feels that today's
market should fulfill the same
role. That's why they inaugur-
ated an annual art show. They
felt that since the eating and
preparation of good food is an
art, chefs and housewives who
visit the Market would enjoy
seeing examples Of fine art.
How right they were was shown
last year at the first Of these
exhibits. The second annual art
exhibit will open this week at
Center Market City, 50 be sure
to mark 1t down on your calen-
dar.
We think you're going to like
what you find In this years

COOK BOOKs-Perhaps you
belong to the school that feels
that really good cooks do not
use cook books, but cook by
instinct. We feel half-and-half
on the subject. We think that
good cooks are born, but we also
feel that they resort to cook
books when in doubt. Many Of
the most delightful dishes we
know were learned from cook
books. In our kitchen Is a book
shelf, lined with cook books. If

Society's call for volunteer work.
ers is man with flrst-hand
knowledge of the need for an ex-
panded cancer service program.
He is James C. Livings, 333
Seventeenth place NE, who has
offered to help make dressings for
cancer patients one of the
projects of the society's new
volunteer service and information
program.
Mr.. Llvings has three main
reasons for volunteering:
First, he wants something to do
during his long period Of con-
valescence from a series of drastic
operations for cancer.
Then, by keeping some of the
dressings he makes. he will be
cutting down on the $25 he has to
spend every month for the hun
dreds of dressings he needs per-
sonally.
Lastly, he wants to do some
thing to help other people"
Wants to Pay Own Way.
Mr.. Livings said the last point
seemed the most important be-
cause of the help he has received.
He made it plain he wants to pay
his own way.
But his long illness has meant
months of leave without pay from
his job as a mechanic at the
Bureau of Standards. There have
been needs for his wife and two
small daughters and the regular
payments on his house.
Because he is "stili solvent"
Mr.. Livings said he couldn't get
help from the District or most
welfare agencies. disqualification
insurance helped, but only for
about month. Then, the Hos
pital Service Agency, which han
dies Community Chest Funds, took
over, and Mr.. Livings wants to pay
that back when he returns to
work.
But the real help has come
from a group Of employees at the
Bureau of Standards, who, the
Livings said. have been making
collection every payday and
bringing it to them every week
since Mr.. Livings' sick leave ex-
pired.
I'VE don't even know who the
money is coming from" he said,
land I don't guess there will
ever be way I can pay them
back"
