annoy owls and other birds, never
theless is a most attractive men,
Der of the bird family; is also a
mimic and to certain extent a
ventriloquist; initiates the call of
the hawks, and in some respects is
hawklike in habits. Eats insects,
spiders, snails.
MANAGEMENT: No management
the blue jay seems well able to
take care of himself.
VALUE: While in many ways a
predator the flash of a blue jay
flying from tree to tree in the
winter months is a welcome sight
to the bird lover; noisy and curious
he is, but the bird has its place in
the Great Order of Things" and
the damage he does is counter
balanced by the pleasure given to
many persons, especially city
people in winter, in seeing this
handsome blue bird, and hearing
his loud call. An examination of
stomach contents of 800 blue jays
showed 1870 vegetable matter, re-
mainder animal; fond of acorns
and other nuts. Let's give him
break-more than 500 valuable.

Free airplane rides will provide
free summer camp for underpriv-
LEGGED children of Montgomery
County.
This true paradox is exactly
what is happening because of two
civic minded organizations of the
Washington area.

al Field, Rockville, the Congress
sional Squadron, Civil Air Patrol
are providing light airplane rides
free to anyone who will contrib
ute to the Camp Echo Lake fund
for underprivileged children.
A free flight over beautiful
Montgomery County will bring
joy to an unhappy child this hot
summer. All experienced CAP
pilots are members of the u. S.
Air Force Auxiliary that guards
all the northern area of greater
Washington in civil and military
emergencies.
Squadron Commander Richard
Stimson said, this will be the
first of an annual free flyathon
for Camp Echo children" "All
senior members and cadets of
Congressional Squadron who
serve voluntarily in the CAP al
so consider it their civic duty to
make this contribution for the
welfare of the county's youth"
StimSon added.
In making the appeal to the
squadron for whatever contribu-
ton they felt they should make,
General Adam Richmond fund of
fetal asserted that, IT'S children
are expected to be accommodated
for two weeks each during July
and August at the camp"
Cost for each child to the camp
is about $4,000 each, Richmond
added The camp has ten cabins
for ten children each with facil-
tiles that are better than most

pARC MEMBERS URGED TO ATTEND QUARTERLY MEMBERSHIP MEETING

[ Nominations for the next board of directors for the Palmer Area Recreation Council will stem from the quarterly membership meet ing to be held this Sunday after noon, January 30 at pm. in the Palmer School cafeteria.
 Norman Rousey, Council presi- dent, urged all members to at tend the meeting as an indication of their wish to see the PARC movement continued. The work accomplished by PARC this past year will be reviewed and assess ed along with the early objectives laid down at the time of organiza- tion. The board will welcome constructive criticism and sugges- tions regarding recreation pro- jectS and getting active and if nancial support, he said.
 In pointing out the work all ready accomplished Rousey re- ferred to the large recreation area behind the school, which is near ly ready for seeding. Already the skating rink has been enclosed and has proved popular Its maxi mum usage, however, is hamper ed by the need for more lighting and heat for the shelter, he point ed out, suggesting, that organiza- tion-sponsored skating parties with occasional music and hot refreshments would add to the full enjoyment of this facility.
 The original board of Is direc- tors has dwindled down to eight or nine regular attenderS of board meetings. Requirements, which should have been made at the quarterly membership meet ings have been styrnied, he said, because of poor attendance. Ac- cording to the PARC bylaws, board members serve one year terms. Nominations for the next term will be made at the Janu- ary 30 meeting and all interested persons, whether now members or not, are urged to attend.

I'D. {. Court Rules Out
Birth Control as
| AnnuIment Cause

l A spouse's insistence on the use
! u q contraceptive device IN mari
tai relations is not grounds for
annulment of the marriage. Fed
eral Judge James r. Kirkland
held yesterday.
| The ruling was made in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia in denying
Marine Sergt. Kenny Floyd
Romine. %, of 81 Forester street
S.W., q marriage annulment.
Sergt. Romine sought an an
nulment of his November 20,
1852, marriage to Mrs. Dorothy
Anna Romine. now living in
Philadelphia. The two have been
estranged since early in 1853, the
court was informed.
Sergt. Romine testified his
wife insisted on his using con-
traceptive device and that she
had informed him she did not
love him. The wife, who did not
appear in court, filed an answer
denying her husbands charges.
Judge Kirkland. in dismissing
the sergeant's suit. said he had
grave doubt" as to whether
Sergt. Rornine was q legal resi-
dent Of the District for q whole
year before fling the annulment
suit in May. 1858. Such resi-
dence, 1t was explained, would be
necessary for the court to have
jurisdiction.
In any event, the judge said.
the uncorroborated testimony OF
the sergeant was insufficient.
AS to the sergeant's testimony
on the contraceptive device,
Judge Kirkland commented:
"There is certainly very large
practice Of birth control In the
District. The use Of contracep-
tiyes, as such, would not be
grounds for annulment.
Sergt. Romine was represented
by Attorney Charles N. Ford.
Attorney John j. Dwyer repre-
sented Mrs. Romine. Sergt. Ro-

Hyde Urges Business
To Study New Bills
On JobIess Payments

Representative Hyde, Repub-
lican. of Maryland. today ex-
pressed hope that local business
men will make a careful study
of pending legislation to amend
the District unemployment COM
pensation law.
Measures to accomplish this
purpose, now before both the
House and Senate District COM
mittees, Mr.. Hyde said. are OF
importance both nationally and
to the District"
1.-THE bills have been pre-
pared" he explained, Ito serve
as a suggestive means of bring
ing State compensation laws up
to date. 1t will be helpful if
congressional action is completed
at an early date"
Other Sponsors Of Bills.
The bills were sponsored by
Mr.. Hyde in the House, and in
the Senate by Republican Sena-
tors Beall of Maryland. Payne OF
Maine. and by Democratic Sena-
tors Nicely of West Virginia and
Mansfield of Montana.
"Some local businessmen" Mr..
Hyde said in a statement, "are
under the impression the amend
ments are intended to liberalize
the District unemployment COM
pensation law, when they in fact
rectify ineuuitieS and tighten the
