THE PADUCAH POST, PADUCAH, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JAN. 9, 1964
I bet you didn’t know that:
is • White pelicans are one of
our largest American birds.
Their wingspread sometimes
reaches nine feet.
$' * *
^ Thf ii'ngneck pheasant was
first transplanted in this coun-
try from the Orient in 1881.
Now it is one of the principal
game birds of America. A
huntable number are found in
Jhe Texas Panhandle.
*-£/;*••/ -
No nvq....zebras, even of the
same variety, 'are exactly alike
in markings. Apart from the
Mountain Zebra of southwest
Africa, all belong to one family.
* * *
White ants are not ants but
termites.
* * *
Largest of the cats, next to
the lion, is the male tiger. It
may measure more than ten
feet from nose to tail tip and
weigh as much as 650 pounds.
* * *
Both the cedar waxwing and
robin love fruit. Occasionally
they stuff themselves on over-
ripe berries to such an extent
they become intoxicated.
* The black mamba, most
deadly of all African snakes, is
credited with the speed of a
galloping horse.
* * *
In Roman times the horn of
the white rhinocerous was be-
lieved to be a defense against
poison. Often, therefore, it was
carved into cups or drinking
horns.
* * *
There are about 600 species
of mantis. Greeks believed this
insect to be studying the fu-
ture so? they named it “man-
tis” meaning “diviner.” Mos-
lems asserted that it prayed
with its face toward Mecca.
❖ * *
Most brilliant of all pheas-
ants is the monal. The haunt
of this bird is the highest for-
est region of the Himalayas.
* * *
For many months of each
year the sun never sets on the
arctic tern. No other migrant
travels so far. Annually a tern
may travel 25,000 miles from
the North Pole to the South
fPole and back again,
* * *
The dragonfly’s head is
mostly eyes with which it can
see the tiniest prey far away.
V- ❖ ♦ *
The alligator snapping tur-
tle of the central - southern
United states may grow to a
weight of 200 pounds.
* * *
The record speed of any ani-
mal is held by the frigate bird.
It has a flying speed in excess
of 100 miles-per-hour.
Piano Pupils Give
Christmas Recital
Piano pupils of Mrs. J. F.
Fischer were presented in re-
cital recently at her home. The
program included Christmas
carols and solos by each per-
former.
Appearing on the program
were: Kim Browning playing
“Rain on the Roof,” “Song of
*he Volga Boatman,” “Three
Blind Mice,” “Soft, Soft Music
is Stealing,” “Away in a Man-
ger,” and “Jingle Bells”; “Song
of Happiness,” ‘Three Blind
✓Mice,” and “White Christmas,”
by Rita Hobbs; “Sun Shower”
and a hymn by Lauralyn Smith;
a duet — “Silent Night” by
Lauralyn and Marilyn Smith.
“The Juggler,” “From a Wig-
wam,” and “Cornin’ Round the
Mountain” by Carol Sue
Greene; “The Long Trail,” “The
Juggler,” and “From a Wig-
wam” by Judy Carter; “An-
dante” and “Home on the
Range,” Donna Truelock; Christ-
mas carols and “Memories from
Hungary” by Shelly Smith.
“Hungarian Rhapsody (excerpt)
by Kyle Richards; “Prelude with
Variations” by Suzette Brown-
ing, and “Curlicues” by Mari-
lyn Smith.
After the program, Mrs.
Fischer served refreshments and
gave each pupil a bag of as-
sorted Christmas candy, fruit
and nuts.
The common American bear
may be cinnamon, chocolate
brown or black in color. But,
correctly speaking, all are Black
Bears.
* * *
Largest fish is the Whale
Shark. Smallest is a Goby. The
latter is less than an inch long.
Bats rest during the day,
hanging upside down in caves,
under cliffs and in trees. At
dusk, they fly out to feed on
insects.
* * *
Horned lizards often bury
themselves in the sand. Then
they change the color of their
bodies to match the color of
the sand as they lie in wait
for their prey. They can change
from dark to light, and back
again, in a few minutes.
* * *
Not all so-called beavers are
found in water and have web-
bed feet. The mountain bea-
vers, or sewellels, found in the
mountains of Oregon, Washing-
ton and northern California
never go near the water. They
have neither webbed feet nor
flat tails. Furthermore they
are no more given to felling
trees and building dams or
houses than are rabbits.
* * *
Spittlebugs also are called
froghoppers because the adults
hop about from plant to plant
and seldom fly.
Alewife, a member of the
herring family, is used for oil
and in feed products.
Fire Losses:
(Continued from Page 1)
line spilled fires numbered four.
Vehicles, including trucks,
cars and cargo accounted for 14
calls. Damage to vehicles and
cargo were less than $1,500, with
estimated value of $54,700.
There were only two false
alarms during the year.
In addition, volunteer fire-
men answered eight calls to
dwelling fires in rural areas.
Estimated damage to buildings
and contents outside the city
was $27,000 to property with
valuation of $48,000. A total of
12 grass fires were answered
outside the city.
Of the eight rural dwelling
fires, two were caused by gas,
two from attempts to thaw
pipes, one from electric light
bulb left burning in closet, one
from faulty flue, one defective
wiring and one unknown.
Three persons wbre treated
for burns from the butane
fires in the rural areas, accord-
ing to Chief Sandlin.

TEACHING THE RETRIEVER |
Now and then a retriever,
will acquire the bad habit of j
chewing the ducks he retrieves.
This can ruin a lot of good
meat if carried to excess.
Habit is hard to break, but
it can be done. I

made of a tin can, weighted,
and with duck wings and tail;

Many Families Have Christmas Food
Through Efforts of Local Pastors Assn.
By ROBERT J. BECK
“Her husband died a year
ago, leaving her with nine chil-
dren to support. I believe she
is deserving,” explained Latin-
American pastor Isaiah Lon-
goria when asked about a lady
who had applied for a Christ-
mas basket. So $12.00 worth of
groceries was provided during
the holidays for her family.
“Here is an old couple who
have to get government com-
modities on Wednesdays to
make ends meet,” said County
Judge Roy Neal Parks as he
thumbed through his office file.
So groceries amounting to $5.00
were given to them. These in-
stances are typical of the help
provided by business firms,
churches, and individuals in
King and Cottle counties to
needy people at Christmas.
We of the Cottle County
Pastors Association were happy
to distribute $294.50 in vouchers,
which were cashed at local gro-
cery stores to provide a Christ-
mas dinner for 31 different
families. We want to thank
the Chamber of Commerce of-
fice for receiving the applica-
tions, and emphasize that this
fine work would not have been
CHILDREN AT HOME
FOR HOLIDAYS
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Lemons

A new type of decorative wall
plaque-eight times lighter than
plaster has been developed by
Kalon Products Company,
Santa Ana, California.
This news should prove par-
ticularly timely as September
signals the start of a period of
redecoration for high school
and college age students.
According to company offi-
cials, the newest type plaques
boast excellent surface detail
and resistance to chipping —
just the items, it would appear,
to liven up a dormitory room.
The plaques are produced by
a process that will reproduce
almost any type of metal, ce-
ramic. or wood surface from
molded rigid urethane foam.
“The process,” says Paul E.
Killian, Kalon’s general man-
ager, “captures the finest and
most delicate lines of the artist.
A wood finish plaque looks ex-
actly like wood A metal finish
plaque looks as though it were
sculptured from expensive
metal.”
The plaques can be hung by
pressing them against a small
finishing nail driven in the
wall. Wood glue can be used, of
course, to fasten the plaques
more permanently in place.
Kalon products off ers_ 22
standard plaque designs in sizes
from 10 x 10 inches to 17 x 40
inches for decorative use in
homes as well as hotels, motels,
restaurants and offices.
In addition to the line of 22
standard plaques, others will be
especially designed upon re-
quest for use as club insignias,
family crests, team emblems,
church and school symbols,
company trademarks and gra-
phic arts.
