Following grandfather's orders we caught
Gretchen wrapped her firmly in burlap and took her
to the porch. Grandfather gently priced the bruised
bill open and, holding Gretchens head against his
thigh, skillfuly worked the sticky mass out of the
concavity. Tiger stood watching chuckling remi-
niscently, while we hiccuped in the aftermath of
tears. When she was as clean as he could get her,
my grandfather put her down and took the sacking
off of her. She scrambled to her feet and went head
long for the safety of her beloved pond, half
running, half flying.
Tiger said it was time to go, and sent Sheila in
to get Christine Sheila came out in few moments
and said Christine had headache and couldn't go.
Tiger hung around for little while, acting sort Of
ugly. And then he went of, and the snarling drone
of his car faded quickly. We went down to the pond
Gretchen was soiled and she had some broken
feathers, but she looked unapproachaby white there
in the blue dusk, floating out in the middle, making
no sound for us.

Because, you see, Christine was laughing, too.
She stood up, hunched over, laughing. Grand

terrorized creature, telling each other how funny

shriekng laughter, and she hobbled up the steps

chuckling sound behind us when We walked across
the yard, no more visits in the dusk We told each
other that if grandfather had let help her before
she became too terrified, it might have been all right
We might have kept her trust.
WE NEVER QUITE forgave our grandfather for
that. Maybe he wasn't interested in our kind of
forgiveness. He was wild and random old man,
and sometimes he made no sense at all. But when
saw Tiger the other day, suddenly realized that
if we'd helped Gretchen quickly, then it might have
been just one of Tigers little jokes, and Christine
would have gone off with him that night and other
nights, and the world might be quite different for
her now By delaying us grandfather showed her
Tigers kind of laughter, of which there is often too
much in the world

Japanese Halibut Fleet Quits Fishing In Bering Sea

SEATTLE R - Most of the Japanese halibut fleet has given up fishing in the Eastern Boring Sea, Seattle newspaper reported Tuesday.
 The Post-Intelligencer said the Japanese have left their designated area in the Boring Sea without filling their quota, set by the 1n- ternational North Pacific Fisheries treaty.
 Catches were running 75,000 pounds a day when Japanese boats moved into the triangle area last spring, the paper reported. The past Is day catches have been negligible.
 F. Howard Bell, Director of the International Pacific Halibut Com mission, said it is too early yet to tell whether the international fleets of US, Canadian and Japan ese boats over-fished the area.
 Tt will require close eXamina-
 
 tion to determine" Bell said. 'It is now the responsibility of the three nations to see that halibut of this area is utilized on a sound, conservation basis"
 With admission of Japan in early May, an 11-million-pound quota was set for the area.
 Catch figures by nations were reported as: Canada, 4,006,00O pounds; Japan, 3,291 ,000; and US, 3,141 ,OOO. The US. and Canadian fleets mover farther south after admission of the Japanese fleets. The triangle area" was opened % the Japanese this year after hey contended American and Canadian fishermen were not mak- ing full use of halibut stocks there

Ellen Mulvihill Tells Chamber of Related Travels in Europe

Travelling in Europe IS not as
 expensive as you expect 1t to be,
 stated Mrs. Ellen Mulviml at the
 Chamber luncheon Monday, when she reported on her recent trip to Europe via the North Pole. She stated that she and her daughter kept a complete accounting of the expenses of the trip and found that their housing and their meals cost them only S4.53 cents day. They covered five countries enjoying both the people and the scenery. Mrs. Mulvihill was especially i'm pressed with the Berlin Wall which she feels that no amount of de- scription can adequately portray the difference that exists between East and West Berlin.
 Their traffic problems were re- duced with the aid of Angelo Buff fas, son of Angelo Buffas of Nome who is in the armed service in Germany and whose assistance they really appreciated. They also enjoyed visiting with the mother of Mrs. Vim. Posey while in Ger many.
 Kenneth Koovak of Barrow was introduced by Sen. Pearse Walsh and he told something of the work of the Arctic Research Institute where he is employed and the re- search boat "Natchik" which wint- cred here and which is enroute back to Barrow.

US. Track Team Termed as Very Nervous By Russian Coach

MOSCOW R - RuSSia'S head track coach said Tuesday he never saw such nervous bunch of American athletes as the US. team that competed here last weekend.
 Gavril Korobkov, writing in the newspaper Pravda, told Russian sports fans:
 II first saw how nervous Amer ican track and field athletes get at the 17th Olympic Games. But what I saw July 20-21 in Moscow was worse than anything I saw in Rome.
 "The calmness, poise and resolu- ton of the majority of the USSR team was a sharp contrast with the nervousness and unsureness of many of the American athletes"
 Korobkov credited the Russians superior performance to "the moral resolution of the athletes and their advanced system oi training"
 The youth newspaper Komso- mOlskaya Pravda celebrated the Soviets 189-147 overall team vic
 tory over the Americans in 7;

Douglas Fairbanks Is Linked with
 Rritain's Scandal

LONDON R - Marilyn Mandy Rice-Davis, IS, testified as a vice trial witness Tuesday that former actor Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Viscount Astor had been among her lovers.
 But the blonde call girl declared the man on trial, Dr. Stephen T. Ward, never got any money out of it.
 Ward, 50, a society osteopath and artist, is charged with living on the immoral earnings of stable of prostitutes.
 Asked why she brought in the name of Fairbanks, she respond ed: Because I do not like him."
 Fairbanks, 53, is the son of the late silent film star. He himself made 75 movies and is close friend of the British royal family.
 Once motion picture producer, Fairbanks now is the director of or officer of 17 corporations dealing with affairs ranging from tools to hotels.
 Fairbanks is married and the father of three daughters. His wife is the former Mary Lee Epling of Bluefield, w. Va.
 Mandy took the stand on the second day of Wards trial, marked Monday by the testimony of Chris tine Keeler.
 Earlier in the Old Bailey Court, two young women testified that Ward seduced them in the week end cottage he rented on Lord Astor's Clivelon estate. There was no suggestion, however, that he turned them to prostitution.
 Mandy testified that Ward in troduced her to Lord Astor, 53, son of the Virginia-born Nancy Lady Astor, and that Astor paid the rent on an apartment she shared with Christine from early January 1861 until March 28, 1861. But she said she did not have sexual intercourse with him until two years later.
 In New York Douglas Fairbanks Jr. issued a vigorous denial of any sexual relationship with blonde Mandy Rice-Davis.
 Fairbanks talked through a New York spokesman because, he said, he is prevented under the British law from speaking directly from London. The statement made pub lie in New York said:
 "I was shocked to hear a re- port about what I remember was a perfectly innocuous acquaint- anceship. My meeting with both Miss Christine Keeler and Miss Rice-Davis occurred as result of their wanting an opportunity in films in which, as I was no longer producing, I could not really assist them. suggested agents and others they might contact.
 Whereas l at no time was in- volved in the matter stated in court, can say I am not only astonished at the statement but vigorously deny it."

well, II is not only 81 mil

the United States Government
