birds have persisted In a single
might at a single airfaeld." The
|ceilometer is the vertical beam
of light of several million candle
power. Apparently the birds
temporarily are blinded by the
light and crash into the ground
at a high rate of speed, killing
thousands Of song and insectiv-
orous birds. For some unknown
reason bird losses occur only in
the fall on southwark flights.
Now filters have been developed
which retain the visible light
and permit only invisible ultra
violet or "hlack light" to 60
upward for ceiling measurement.
Two Of these filters already have
been installed with excellent re-
suits and plans are in the making
for the installation Of more at
other stations. The Department
of the Interior with the cooper
alton Of the United States Air
Force and commercial airlines
hopes to lick this problem COM

OUTDOORS

Had another fine bird hunt
ing trip with Herb wilkins this
week. covering new territory In
Virginia from our trip Of last
Saturday. This time we had
both settlers. Jake and Gus,
along. Gus is a son Of old Jake,
and is now nearly two years old,
possessed Of a fine nose and
excellent bird sense. However,
he still has to go some to catch
up with old Jake, who has now
topped nine years of age, has
pointed more than 1000 coveys,
and can still find more coyeys
than any bird dog we've ever
hunted over. Gus works a little
better on singles. Not because
he's better than Jake, but simply
that Jake is trained to be a
covey dog. When the rise occurs
and the shots are fred and birds
recovered. Jake is OF after an
other covey. He Just isn't inter-
ested in singles.
The ground we covered was
plenty wide and we hunted more
lespideza than we've seen since
our trip to Georgia several years
ago. Herb Is q real mixer and in
fine shape, and we admit frank
Ily that we took the inside
course. cut corners, and general
lly eased along. The last cast
Jake made must have covered
four or i've miles. He lit out
right after a late afternoon
lcovey rise. and Herb had to 90
after him. only to find him near
ly a mile away on point. The
birds flushed wild and Jake went
on again.
When we finally caught UP
with him, he was out on
the country road pointing q
Icovey that had crossed the road
and was headed down the bank
for water in q gulley. Herb
made this last trip by himself.
Old Jake had pulled our cork q
half hour before and we'd re-
tired to the car with Gus, who
was pretty tired for young dog.
AL told, the dogs found eight
coveys for us. six Of them in
open lespideza. We ran right
into q bonus eovey, the largest
number Of birds we saw all day,
Just as we were coming out Of q
field road. We left the dogs
lin the car for this one and
flushed 1t ourselves, getting only
one bird on the rise. It served
us right for not letting the dogs
have their 60 at them. Herb
was in flne gun form, but your
scribe was pretty bad. otherwise
each would have had his limit.
As 1t was. we got enough for .
half days cunning.

GETTING ON TOP

Steve Allen, currently a favorite
Of many night owl television fans
and an actor of some sorts as well
as song-writer and radio perform
er, has some interesting com
ments on the fellows who reach
the top. Mr.. Allen has already
reached the top, and is therefore
qualified to comment on condi-
tons he has encountered at the
summit.
Speaking frankly, Allen says
he has refused all advice to limit
his activity to one field, because
it is so much easier to achieve
success in other fields once
success in one field has been
achieved.
Allen is saying, in other words,
that success begets success, and
this is an old truism. It all adds
up to the fact that crashing that
first barrier to national fame is
the hardest one, and once that is
done the competition is less and
opportunities far greater.
We are reminded of the words
of several famous financial ty-
coons, who claim that they had
to make money SO that they could
get up into brackets where the
competition was not so keen.
The lesson to be learned is that
once a person becomes successful.
he or she Ear get by with a quail
ty of performance that a begin
ner, or an unknown could not
earn a living at. Those on top.
IN other words, have everything
going for them, while the little
man - at the bottom must
produce or starve.
