It was Mac ho hatched the idea to hold a Fiesta on El Din del la Raza (Columbus Day) and invite all the friends he has made during qia stay. Some are racked with terrific internal conflict, the rest conflict externally with each other, representing exact oppos ites in character. Mac has chosen Anderson’s house as the site of the fiesto. Anderson is a quiet guy, moody, considers himself a flop. Boraiin Costa' Rica, his father was a stern Englishman with rigid code of ethics.

Clues are needed to help identify the mysterious factors which cause numbers of game animals to rise arid fall from year to year. One item of great value is the proportion of young animals in the population of a game species. This proportion indicates the ap proximate success of the previous breeding season. Combining this Information with other data, gam* biologists are able to determine tjic probable causes of losses aimong Juveniles and many other f*cts which are barly needed. ; It is possible, in quails and tur keys, to distinguish birds bom the previous spring from older indiv iduals by the shapes and colors of certain wing feathers. In order to help in the study of these birds, therefore, the Department of Wildlife Management is asking hunters and sportsmen’s clubs to collect quail and turkey wings and 35.000 Polio Cases Reported for Year Approximately 35,000 cases Were reported to the Natiohal Founda tion for Infantile Paralysis this year before October, Basil O’Con ner, president, said today. He estimated that more than 41.000 cases would be reported by December 3(. O’Conner said that (he full bill for patient care alone for 1949 would be more than $31,000. The emergency drive in September Was a stop-gap measure to obtain sufficient funds for research and care of patients until the January March of Dimes. Care of thousands of this years victims will continue into next year, and for some time after; that, O’Conner said. Because of this situation, he said that the March of Dimes in January must be the most generous in history. He sent pictures showing adver tisements for the coming March Of Dimes campaign. The Battal ion will print some of the mats before and during the campaign, the co-editor said today.
