How Animals Talk

STELLENBOSCH, South Afri-

to say to each other and how
they go about it is being
studied by the Department of
Nature Conservation here,
working with the Bio-Acoustic
Institute of the South African
National Parks Board.
The Bio-Acoustic Institute
records on tape as many ami
NAL noises as possible, then
edits and classifies the tapes to
interpret the noises. The re-

House Painter

Harold Pearsall. "a. ran into

the District government all be-
cause of q hornets nest.
Mr.. Pearsall, a naval archi-
tect with the Federal Govern
ment, had been ordered by the
housing division Of the Depart
ment of Licensing and Inspec-
tons to paint his two-story
frame house at 1880 Ninth
street NV. The division has
this power under the District
code.
This order was issued last
year, but because of litigation
concerning ownership Of the
house. the painting was not
done.
In May, another order was
issued and a third order was
issued on August 80.
Runs Into Hornets
Mr.. Pearsall began the touch
up work after the third order,
but was stopped by a huge hor-
nets nest he found hanging
just below the caves of the
house at the second-tloor level,
He sought help from the Dis
trict government to have the
nest removed, with no result,
so the painting was postponed
and he was hailed into Land
lord-Tenant Court last Wednes-
day for failing to comply with
the order.

Trojan Horse Civil Rights Bill
This so-called Civil Rights ac1

This so-called Civil Rights ac1
of 1868, the Administration s
Trojan Horse approach to col
lectivism, has everybody by the
ears. Everybody in Washington
that is.
Its advocates have made the
mistake of overlapping parts OF
it into their Area Redevelop-
ment Act and that bill, SEIZED
uled for early disposition re-
putedly does not have the votes
for House passage. (The ARA,
to refresh your memory, is the
New Frontier package designed
to get the country moving
again" by constructing gov
eminent financed competitors
across the street from private
enterprises) If ARA loses. the
wise heads say. it will foretell
the defeat Of the New Frontier S
more grandiose plan for social
revolution. the Civil Rights Act
Of 1868.
Should the Kennedys, then,
risk their prestige on ARA and
if it goes down thereby
weaken their Civil Rights Act
strength? That is their prob
lem. their dilemma.
And some dilemma it is. But
the opposition is faced with a
problem Of equal magnitude.
Now, as you must know, this
omnibus Civil Rights bill lS173D
has sc ven principal sections
which. in total, would regulate
the lives of our people beyond
tanything we have dreamed Of in
our us years as nation. Be-
cause this is so, as a package,
it is repugnant to a majority Of
senator's; a majority would ac-
cept bit more of creeping-type
socialism, "a little bit more +"
But the whole dose in one SWal-
low is more than they = read,
their constituents would sWal-
low.
So, the opponents of Sl73l are
faced with this problem: Should
they attack each of the bills
provisions while it is still in
committee, hoping thus to lessen
the impact Of the final draft BY
killing the worst of it, ana let
the remainder go on through?
Or should they sit back and
offer no amendments whatso-
ever? If they follow the latter
alternative in the hope Of killing
the whole package when it
reaches the Senate floor, the
chances are they will be sue
cessful.
But suppose, by some black
magic. the Senate loses what
remaining good sense it has,
and let's the horrible thing pass.
What then?

For many hundreds of years

In the meantime, industries are clos

to 20 cents per glass. Barber shops no
longer give shampoos, only haircuts.
Although rainfall is the only real
answer to the problem, other measures
are being pressed into use Red China

people pay not the maximum

Building Construction
With the possible exception of
old-fashioned hotels in our large
cities. the days OF the hotels are
slowly coming to an end. At
present they are being changed
over into apartments. But they
will gradually be torn down and
their sites used for the building
OF motels of one or two stories.
What will come after the mo
tels,' l do not know; but some
new change will follow. With the
increase in superhighways and
supermarkets. more people are
living in the suburbs and the
motels are merging into motel
apartments. In fact. 1 visualize

Babson Urges We Prepare For Changes

BABSON PARK, MASS, Aug.
10 = Before my late wife sud
denly passed away as the result
of an unexpected heart attack,
We had been talking about the
great changes we had noticed in
only the past few years.
Changes in Travel
At the time he learned OF my
Wife's death, my grandson, Rog-
er Weber was eating lunch in
Paris He hoped on a jet plane
and in seven hours was at my
side in Boston. 1t seems that
some of the airlines run specials
from Paris to Boston every day.
This is common knowledge: but
we forget the many different
lines of business affected there
by.
Railroad Strike
I have no fear of a railroad
strike; but what one could mean
to every supermarket and
household is unimaginable. In
three days the shelves of most
Supermarkets would be bare. We
would be completely in the
hands of the Transfers Union
and their pre- dent, James
Hoffa.
Other Labor Unions
AS companies and their stock
holders continue to combine into
larger units. the wageworkers
are sure to do the same. Hence,
to avoid a dictatorship in this
country. the laws designed to
prevent and break up monopo-

We Could Use A Little Rain

I'VE could use a little rain
There is little consolation in the
misfortunes of others, but it is good to
know that our problems are not entire
~ peculiar. A letter from Mr. and Mrs.
Franklin McCord of Hong Kong, China,
commented on in the Hardin County
Times, Of Iowa Falls, may be of interest.
In their letters, the McCords tell of
the effect of the severe drought on life
in Hong Kong
The water shortage is so serious now
that residents may draw water from
their taps for only four hours on every
fourth day During that time they must
wash the accumulations of laundry,
take their -four day bath" and save
enough water to get them by for the
next four days.
All drinking water must be boiled
and the McCords are generally avoid
ing eating in restaurants.
The millions of Chinese refugees who
live primarily in shacks dotting the
hillsides must draw their water on speci-
fled days from public taps. Many Of
these people have found it necessary to
quit their jobs in order to stand in the
water lines.
Naturally, water containers are very
much in demand. A four gallon plastic
container sells now for $40 to SIP. Tin
smiths and metal fabricators are so
far behind in their work that they are
not taking additional orders. News
papers are editorializing in very strong
language against water hoarders."
There is little hope for an early end

rs stated in our editorial last Friday
we view with satisfaction the open

Negro children Of the county and others
who may wish to attend. Success of the
schools will depend in large measure
upon the policies of the board of d.
