settled down into a lawn chair in the shade
looked down the hill toward the meadow and
the stream. There was a reddish glow over the
hillside as the sun approached the horizon.
The dogs lay quiet under tree. From that dis
lance, it was indeed a calm and placid view.A

IL of midsummer evening
The heat of the afternoon was past. The
chickens and ducks that had been hiding from
the sun in the shade of the plum tree emerged
and headed with determination to their water
ing trough.
The dogs, laZing since noon under the car
where they too could escape the sun and yet
keep an eye on both exits from the house just
in case someone dared face the heat and 60
walking also appeared, looking dopey as if
they had been alternating for months They
reached the water trough first and each took
turn standing guard, keeping the poultry away
while the other drank.
Also hiding inside from the heat, and
weary of my enforced exile from the outdoors,
looked for an excuse to visit the stream that
cuts the lower end of the meadow. My wife sup
piled it. If would gather some mint she would
use it to flavor some iced tea.
Mint grows wild all over the banks Of our
stream making the area as fragrant as an out
door chewing gum factory. l had to cross the
meadow to reach the stream The clippings of
the tall orchard grass that had cut last week
lay dry and brown on the earth and l had to lift
my legs high to clear them AS l disturbed the
underground, aphidS and beetles and other
tiny flying insects buzZed out around me- their
wings glinting in the slanting sunlight.
From nowhere appeared half dozen chip
pering barn swallows, skimming and swooping
over and around me as walked, gathering the
bugs in mid-air into their wide-open beaks
From its perch atop fence post, catbird, ex
cited by the unwonted activity, mewed and
twittered. A hooking bird, afraid was too
near her nest in the forsythia beside the field,
Screeched for me to leave. A woodchuck, sur
prised at his grazing, poured along the fence
row looking for hole to duck into.
1t took just minute to gather handful of
the mint, and then was free to dream while
along the waters edge. Our stream is narrow
and shallow, but dependable. 1t wanders
through my neighbor's meadows in broad
sweeping curve, ducks under a rickety wooden
bridge and emerges onto my property where
it cuts rather straight path through lightly
wooded thicket on its way to the river, the bay
and the sea.
The orange sun, now low in the western
sky, peeped in through the bushes and trees,
throwing lacework Of shadows across the
slowly flowing water. A large brown rock sur

hindered the waters passage, creating a
smooth constant ripple just above my obServa-
ton post.
The dogs, thirsty from the walk across the
meadow, plunged into the water and stood sub
merged to the shoulder enjoying their version
of the private backyard swimming pool. AS
they SplaShed around, could see minnowS
below the surface, and tadpoleS, swimming
hurriedly away, aStOniShed by the intrusion
of visitors And on the surface, the lOnglegged
water striders, interrupted in their patrols
darted erratically from side to side, touching
antennae briefly, rushing back and forth, as if
calling an emergency cOnclave to decide how
to cope with the monsters that had broken
their military routine.
When the dogs climbed out of the creek
and shook the water from their coats, Sprin-
king me and cooling me as they did, watched
the StriderS regrOup their formations. The
strider is slender insect with long thin legs
that darts about on still or gently moving
waters. We have all seen them frequently at
the beach. They are so light that, although
their weight bends the surface of the water,
forming slight dimpleS, they do not break
through. They skate along the water in short
jerks, so fast that they are almost impossible
to catch. Clutching my precious mint in one
hand, l took a seat in the pale swamp grass and
watched while the Striders, like welltrained
soldiers, took up their positions across the
stream watching for prey.
1he stream is about eight feet wide there.
The insects stationed themselves about 20
inches apart in an almost straight row, all the
way across. About two feet downstream from
that row, another row of the jerkily moving
striders was in formation. Upstream noted
similar watch being kept. Each Of the insects
seemed to have little territory that it pa

lance downstream. kept an eye on the nearest
one. 1t Sculled itself forward and to the sides
with just enough motion to overcome the
gentle current of the stream. For the five to 10
minutes that watched it did not leave its
three or four square feet of territory.

Failure and false hopes of
government price-fixing programs
during the past thirty years."
Luurell said, caused farmers to
turn thumbs down on the wheat
certificate plan and instead mark
their ballots for 'freedomto farm
and they demonstrated new and
stronger confidence in the market
price system.
Results of the wheat referen-
dunn reveal that the vote was for
farmer farm management and
not Freeman supply ly-manage-
ment" he declared.
Luttrell said that wheat far
mers now deserve action by Con-
gress to adopt a reasonable tran
sition program that will take us
from the burdensome surpluses
back to the market system as a
means of determining production
needs.
Farm Bureau has strong Dl-
partisan support in the House and
Senate for such transition pro-
gram for wheat and feed grains
which, Luttrell said, would ~
prohibit dumping of CCC stocks
on the market, ~ repeal the
emergency feed grain program,
(3) ban future wheat referendums,
~ provide cropland retirement to
ease the withdrawal of wheat acres,
(5) provide price supports at the
higher of so percent of parity, or
the average world market price
for the preceding years.
This action by Congress would
continue to build better farm
city relations.
Farm Bureau policies make
sense. They will correct lot

in the sense many folks think of
this term, we must work for good

have good relations with a bad
farm program, Luttrell said.

When we finally got to Teheran, Barr invited
me to his house for couple of days to recuperate
from the nerve-numbing experience of flying
through the Hindu Kush. He was Pan-American
representative in that Iranian metropolis, and
bachelor. He had valet who also was superb
cook and knew how to argue with the street food
vendors, the dask ;tOrish.
1t seemed to me then that Barr was a very
happy man indeed. His house was a kind of
private hotel for collection of U.S. government
people stationed in the Middle East, rowing cor
respondents, architects trying to build housing for
the underprivileged and airline personnel. There
always were about IA for dinner. The talk was
lively and interesting.
Barr earned good salary in job at which he
was very good. 1t seemed to me he had it made.
Thus was surprised when his letter informed

me that he had quit the airline, quit Iran, and was
living in St. CrOix, Virgin Islands. He was OPEN
ing small shop to sell items imported from Iran,
he said, calling it The Ports of Call. He also
planned an inn with restaurant specializing in
Persian food cooked by his former valet.
He sounded like new man. Barr's personal
quest for happiness, or enjoyment of life, con-
sisted of throwing up job with lifetime security
and striking out on his own in new area where
life was more to his liking, easier and more
relaxed. | am sure it will not strain Iranian-
American relations if I observe that life in

Jack Barr, thought when his letter came, must
truly be happy man. Then asked myself: What
is happy man?
My work = work! as a magazine reporter
carries me around the world, sometimes to civil
lized cities such as Rome and Hong Kong, some
times to savage communities such as Hollywood.
The old saying is true: | meet interesting people,
One thing that most of them have in common is a
continuing quest for that elusive, and perhaps
inde6nable, quality known as Happiness.

Underposs
Loses Lights
To VunduIs

Electricians are repairing the
vandal-shattered lights in the
new underpaSs Of North Capt.
toll street below New York
avenue which opened for traf-
fic last Wednesday.
Most Of the 80 lights were
damaged before the opening,
Highway Department officials
report. They say that loose
rocks used during construction
were thrown by the unknown
vandals.
Also destroyed by vandals Is
the photo-electric cell which
automatically turns on and off
the 19 mercury vapor lights on
the walls Of the underpass.
Seventeen Of the portal lights
and Is Of the Is overhanging
fluorescent lamps shades are
being replaced. Since the lights
are Of a new model, the cost of
the damage Is not yet known
accurately, officials say. but
will be about $1,000. They esti-
mate that the fluorescent lamps
will cost about $50 apiece.
I'VE expect that such high
breakage will not continue now
that the underpass is being
used and rocks are no longer
available to youngsters" said
