MOSTLY OUTDOORS
By ALAN CoURTRIGHT

While in Anchorage a couple of weeks ago.. I picked up a book that I've been meaning to add to my library for couple of years: Claus Murie's Field Guide to Animal Tracks" Houghton Mifflin Co.,, Boston, 1854; 374 pp., $3.95). Now that the years first snowfall has arrived, the book should prove useful; up until now, I've enjoyed reading it but haven't put it to use.
 Back in 1853 I was a visitor at Dr. Murie's place in Wyoming, in company with few other wild
 life management students and a professor One night we were all going up to Grand Teton National Park headquarters to do a bit of square dancing, and our group walked over to the Murie's house to pick up the naturalist and his wife. While we were waiting for Mrs Nitric, Dr. Nitric went up to the attic and brought down sev- eral boxes full of plaster casts of animal tracks, and everyone got so interested that Mrs. Nitric lit erally had to drag us off to the dance. Those plaster casts were the basis for many of the drawings in the book, and Dr. Murie's writ ing generates almost as much in terest as his extemporaneouS talks The book is not collection of dry writings and dull drawings; it's full Of anecdotes and interest ing etchings, and makes good fire side reading, as well as being a primer for the reading of stories in the snow A
 Although most of the book is devoted to the tracks and signs of animals, some birds, reptiles and even insects are included. One thing I couldn't find was any diff ference between the tracks of reindeer and caribou - not that I expected to find any; the way people talk, however, the two animals are so different that there would almost HAVE to be some difference in the tracks.
 On the subject of reindeer; last week the linotype operator must have figured I left out couple of letters in my original copy - "feral" dmeaning domestic ani- mals which have reverted to a wild state). The printed version had it that the Fish and Game De- partment was going to try to de- termine how many federal" rein deer there are on the Seward Peninsula.
 It's all the same difference though, at least according to MT. Vern Hirsch of the BIA. MT. Hirsch says that all unherded reindeer are the property of the U. s. Government; in other words, feral reindeer are federal rein deer. Which reminds me of the hoary old joke of the man who asked the waitress whether the pie he was eating was apple or peach, to which the waitress re- piled eff you can't tell by the taste, what difference does it make2"

PLYMOUTH'S NEW DURA-QUIET UNIBODY is a rigidlyformed struc- ture, locked by approximately 54OO pre- else welds. It has no conventional body bolts, braces, struts or stays to give trouble. Road noises and road shocks are dampened. Even the sound of the wind is hushed.
 We doubt if any car at any price has ever ridden or handled as well as this new 1ow-price automobile. Practical Stabilizer Design, incorporating rear stabilizer fins, adds stability on the road, cuts wind resistance, gives better gas mileage.
 The new Solid Plymouth is young, exciting car with ten full years of
