ALEXANDRIA,, Va.


Dear Sir:
81 am new to this part of
the country, and was amazed
the other day to see what l
thought was an eagle.
"Was I right?
"It was certainly the biggest
bird 1 ever saw. 1t perched
for a time in the highest tree
we have, then took off toward
the river.
"Out where I come from the
biggest bird is a red-shoul-
dered hawk. He is pretty big,
but not in the same class with
this big bird.
Il would like to know if you
think there is any danger from
this eagle, or whatever it is.
Our pet cat is a Siamese,
and much given to roaming,
and uttering the most f1endish
cries. I thought these sounds
might attract the big bird,
and do you think it could
carry her off?
Yours truly, H. L. B."

Americas famous bald eagle
is often seen along the Poto-
mac.
Sometimes they fly inward
for a time, but always go back
to the river.
They are not particularly
good at catching fish for
themselves, but often depend
upon something caught by a
gull or other.
The bald eagle is wonder
full creature, majestic in out
line, as it poses on the stub
end of a branch almost at the
tip top of a tree.
IL was no wonder that 1t was
selected as our national bird.
The fact that George Wash
ington at Mount Vernon was
familiar with this beautiful
creature may have had some
thing to do with its choice.
X X X x
Sometimes an eagle egg is
found along the river bank.
just how it manages to sur
vive the fall is unknown.
The egg is approximately
the size of a hens egg, about
the same shape, and perhaps a
bit darker in color, though
still light, if that can be, and
it can.
Find an eagles egg, and see
for yourself!
There have been no cases.
as far as we know, of an eagle
ever carrying off anything
living.
In Colonial days they were
credited with kidnapping ba-
bies. and the like, but all such
stories were bred of somebody's
desire to hurt the creature.

Unjust Restriction

Virginia's General Assembly went
too far in its definition of the scope of
constitutional limitations on school board
service by Federal employees. A Joint
resolution contended that the section of
the Virginia Code permitting CLERKS and
employees" of the Government to be school
board members includes only such clerks
and other employees as hold minor posi-
tons, without executive authority, and

The plot having to do with an
endless murderouS clash between

older than Miss Ekberg's great
grandmother. 1t has grown no
better with time, Miss Ekberg's
grotesquely exotic dancing, or
the acting Of Victor Mature and
Michael Wilding.
In fact, on a wide screen and

tban ever before. Rather than
be trapped into making it a
dareer, as did poor Yvonne IN her
day, Miss Ekberg would be smart
to go back to Sweden. Holly

is much too crudely expressed in
