This and That

What time does the blue jay go to bed?
Well, we can't speak for all of them.
but do know about one pair.
These big sissies retire each winter
afternoon between $3.50 and 4:30 o'clock!
We know, because we see them do it.
1t is true that the early hour was on
cloudy day. Still, it was very light.
Sparrows, cardinals and many others
were flying around with no thought of
going to bed Not so the big bold jays.
These beautiful birds evidently live up
to the old maxim of their famous Ben
jamin Jay. who wrote the well-known
words, early to bed and early to rise,
makes jay healthy. wealthy and wise"
We have a grandstand seat for watch
ing this show.
At first it was difficult to believe ones
eyes. There was the white and blue
tail of jay bird hanging straight down
from the ivy on big locust tree about
10 feet from the window.
This tree is covered with dense
growth. The ivy leaves and branches
make mass of foliage about inches
deep.
1t was this protection the bird had
sought.
We at first thought her dead, not be-
lieving any bird went to sleep so early,
even on cloudy day.
There was no sign of life about that

the bird have flown in there and died?
We watched for long time and still

veloping alternate routes? And is there
not danger that this confusion would
be exploited by those who want to
preserve the present Wasteful conditions?
There were frequent disagreements
among the six Democrat and six Re-
publican members of the Hoover Com
mission, but in the final analysis every
one of the 250-odd recommendations in
the Hoover Commission Reports repre-
sented the majority view as to the best
road to travel. Do those roads, the most
important of which have never been
travelled. need to be explored again?
Representative Rees' bill states that one
of the purposes of the new commission
would be to carry out the Hoover Com
mission recommendations. This would
imply that the commission would have
jurisdiction over the subject of the
Hoover Reports, and yet those reports
can be implemented not by the rec
concentrations of another commission
but only by acts of Congress.
Finally, it will be noted that Mr. Rees'
bill prejudices one of its own purposes
by providing that the new commission
could employ up to 200 staff members.
but would have to procure them under
the very civil service laws that the
Hoover Commission said were in dire
need of renovation.

Fairfax Looks Ahead

Fairfax County is evidencing commendable
determination to prepare itself realistically for
the developing problems which it is destined to
face under the Federal expansion program The
county, cognizant of its responsibilities in an
era which may see great national airport and
one or more dispersal centers within it's bound
aries, is considering a proposal to create an
overall sanitation authority to coordinate,
enlarge and control the county's varied water,
sewer, drainage and garbage services. Such an
authority would be of great value in the era
of county development which lies ahead.
Legal sanction for a county agency of this
kind was granted by the General Assembly when
it passed the Virginia Water and Sewer Author
tiles Act last year. The authority would operate
somewhat like the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission in Maryland. The Virginia
authority could issue revenue-p producing bonds
to acquire existing water and sewer systems or
to build new ones without necessity of referenda
In each case. Fairfax has such a diversity of
separate sanitary systems that 1t is difficult for

male jay flew in and took up her position
in exactly the same spot she had occu-
pied the day before. Again she disap-
peared entirely with the exception of her
tail which hung down in the same queer
position.
We had not long to wait before the
squawk of the male jay sounded.
There he was! He was one of the
finest looking jays imaginable. with big
curved chest and lovely feathers. It is
perhaps only in larger chest that the
male can be told from the female.
AS he stood there clinging to the ivy
before his disappearance into the leaves
for the night, he seemed one of the most
beautiful birds in the world. Some
people say they dislike jays. but surely
they are on the foolish SIDE There is
no prettier bird than this, not even the
cardinal, and no more American q bird
The male jay did not go back into the
same berth. He was about feet lower
and farther around.
It is interesting to speculate why the
female jay goes to the same sleeping
place each night. Can it be that the
female Of the species is more creature
of habit? There was one pair that
nested in this tree several years ago, and
it would only be natural to sleep in the
cold in the place where they found nest
ing so satisfactory. Vines of all kinds
