Your passport, which can at
tain more importance than
your ticket, is now good for
three years and the State De-
partment hopes you can hang
on to it that long.
A lost one can mean, in some
instances, extensive investiga-
ton by the Passport Division;
a loss of time to you and the
Investigators.
In rare but logical cases,
they may accept simple state
ment. One circumstance, SIM
pie to get into, tough to get
out Of and logical enough in
the explanation, involved a
United States citizen on a trip
through remote jungles.
He even became lost him
self and after days Of wan
dering, was rescued and hos
pitalized, leaving behind his
valuables, including the pass
port. His explanation said he
obtained a guide, went back
into the jungle on a fruitless
search.
That was one the investiga-
tors accepted without much
C h king. During 1861, al
most 5000 passports were lost
under varying circumstances
including carelessnesS and
theft. Reported in a fiscal
year-end report from Passport
Office Director Frances G.
Knight, the loss figure was the
highest in years, If not on rec
ord.
One loser reported that on q
driving trip with his wife in
Europe he had a flat tire. After
stopping, he asked his wife for
the book on how to use the
jack. Two men on q motor
scooter breezed up, grabbed
the book and fled.
His passport was In it.
Thefts Diminish
Theft accounts for possibly
the greatest percentage. In
one country, theft of luggage
and purses containing pass
ports reached such a pattern
that the State Department
threatened to issue a warning
to United States tourists about
visiting there.
The thefts diminished almost
Immediately.
The investigators could
hardly establish a pattern out

You guessed it. The passport
was in the trousers.
Lost" may mean many
things, not all Of them like the
case of a man who reported
his passport lost and asked for
a new one. Pressed for de-
tails, he explained that during
a visit, his grandchildren were
playing with a strong box which
contained the passport and 9TH
er important papers.
Investigators reasoned that
children shouldn't be playing
with very important papers and
insisted on more details and a
further search.

reported he had found the pass
port in another suit.

cost the taxpayers about S2.5

The year-end report shows
a 1914 per cent increase in pass

doubly significant because the
increase involves issuance of
new documents. Fifty per cent

Jersey Shore
Paradise for
Bird Watchers
By HELEN M. WALKER
Contributing Writer

ATLANTIC CITY, N. 1.-THE
southern New Jersey resort area
is truly a bird-watcher's para
disc. For the visitor who has
never spent time on this hobby
a whole new world opens up
here.
Residents, sometimes hardly
realizing their interest, enjoy
the change from the winter
Seagulls to the more colorful
summer gulls. AS late summer
arrives and autumn is near,
the busy little sandpipers
fitting up and down the strand
at the oceans edge can hold
the watchers attention as they
seem to rush back and forth
with the tide.
Changing Scene
A drive along the Garden
State parkway, Route 9 or the
Ocean highway will present an
ever-changing scene. In addi-
ton to this, visitors can take
a tour of the several wildlife
and bird sanctuatries in the
resort area.
Spring flights Of warblers,
bluebirds, tanagers, swallows
and many others pause here
briefly to rest. Summer brings
the terms and skimmers, which
wheel in almost constant flight
along the ocean and inlets,
while towhees, brown thrashers,
song sparrows, cat birds and
other songsters nest in briar
patches.
On the beaches and near the
surf can be seen the sander
lings seeking food at the very
edge Of the surf as great flocks
of gulls wait for changing tides
to bare q sand bar so that
they may feed on sand eels.
Along the shores of the bays
the reeds offer nesting places
for the redwing blackbirds, and
nearby egrets and heron are
seen. Rail birds and hens and
various wading birds live on the
marshes and in the reeds
around the bay sections of the
resorts and the meadows lead
ing into them.
Heavy Traffic
Starting from this resort a.
drive across the meadows to
Route 8, a turn right and con-
tinuing north of Absecon about
six miles, one comes to the
United States Wildlife Sanctu-
airy at Oceanville.
This is known as the Brigan-
tine National Wildlife Refuge
and is said to Import the
heaviest load Of waterfowl Of
all the refugees in the northern
part of the Atlantic Flyway. At
this refuge 1000 acres of fresh
water has been impounded for
the water fowl.
Farther north, near Toms
River, Route 81 near that town
will lead to Island Beach Park,
where there is another, but
smaller, wildlife sanctuary.
South Of here, at Stone Har-
Dor, is the heronry where there
is a large concentration of
birds in a comparatively small
area. 1t is interesting to note
that this spot is said to be the
only acknowledgements
heronry in the world within
the corporate limits Of a town
with one exception, and that
exception is In Japan.
Farther south, at the very
tip of the State, at Cape May
Point. is Lily Lake, where
another sanctuary offers refuge
and temporary stopping places
to many varieties Of fowl.
Whether one travels to the
sanctuaries or just pauses in
a stroll along the beach or a
drive across the meadows, the
southern New Jersey area Of
fers much to those who take
time to observe.

Mr.. williams recommended
that the Board of Education

In this way, he said, the
