UN base at Kamina. The UN is
trying to disarm forces loyal
to President Noise Tshonbe and

Leopoldville. But it is running
into stiff opposition from Ka-
tanga troops led by white Off

diplomatic protests with the UN.
A cease fire was arranged late
Saturday in one sector where ma

How to Know
Your Dolphin

DOLPHINS: The Myth and
the Mammal. BY Antony
Alpers. (Houghton-M Mifflin;
So
What started out to be a
book for children primarily,
grew into q book for adults
as we'll. Here is that charm
ing creature from the ocean,
the dolphin, in legend, story
and fact.
The book begins with the
story Of the boy and the dol
phin at Hippo on the shores
of the Mediterranean (now
Bizerte) and ends with the
story and photographs of the
dolphin who came into the
bay of Opononi in New Zea-
land in 1855. In between
there is scientific informa-
tion on the birth Of dolphins
(they are mammals, their
lives and habits.
Obviously. New Zealander
Alpers became enamored Of
his subject, for the book is
filled with humor and ap-
probation Of this most play
full and intelligent of crea-
lures. He chooses to call
them dolphins throughout
the book instead of porpois-
es, as we usually call them.
Somehow or other, dolphin
seems a more suitable name.
The chapters entitled THE
Story of Pelorus Jack" and
Dolphin Summer at Opo-
noni" are two to be added to
the wealth Of dolphinology
dating back to ancient times.
