(Photo by Kim Gilmore) Birds Winging South In Autumn Mi&ration That harbinger of winter-robin redbreast-is on the wing, flying south. For Guantemalans, the first ? robin can be as sure a sign of coming winter as it is a traditional herald of spring when it flies north with the melting of snow in Illinois and New Jersey. ? The robin is only one among the thousands of species of birds billions strong now taking to the air in another repeat performance of one of nature's greatest spectaculars: the twice-yearly migration of the birds. After centuries of watching in wonderment, man still does not exactly know how or why birds may fly perhaps a third or more the width of the world every autumn, and then return to their breeding grounds-sometimes to the same nest-in the spring. But scientists think they finally may be closer to solving the mystery, with theories that "?may sound as fanciful as the explanations of the ancients, "the National Geographic Society says. Aristotle and other philosopher-naturalists of Greece noted the migrations, <feut thought swallows and some other birds spent the winter in hibernation or sleeping in hollow trees, caves, or even beneath mud in marshes. New England's famed Puritan preacher. Cotton Mather, proclaimed "The Wild Pigeons on Leaving us Repair to Some Undiscovered Satellite Accompanying the Earth at a Near Distance." Sparrows and some robins seldom migrate at all, braving the snow and cold, and bobwhite, quail, and cardinals may never fly more than 10 miles from the nest where they were hatched. Other birds make epic ? flights: The arctic tern migrates from the land of the snowy owl to the South Polar home of the penguin, then returns as the seasons change, perhaps # flying 25,000 miles a year. Most bigger birds fly by day, a few thousands of miles without stopping to feed. But 90 percent of the migration is at night, including that of most small birds, despite the legend that ihey hitchhike on the backs of the bigger fliers. Flocks of migration birds do ride prevailing north and south winds. How do birds navigate? Scientists* elaborate experiments indicate that some birds, at least, may actually use sightings of the sun and stars. Other theories indicate they may find their way by somehow sensing the varying forces of gravity and magnetic attraction around the Earth, or by reacting to the Coriolis force produced by the Earth's rotation. But birds are also apparently not above taking shortcuts on their migrations. Swiss birdwatchers have reported swallows flying through a four-mile mountain tunnel to Italy-better than flying over the 8,000-foot Alps. Craft Ideas For Gifts By Brenda Abrams and 18 inches lung.

The Jordan River rises on the slopes of Mount Hermon, then descends sharply as it flows through the Sea of Galilee before emptying into the Dead Sea, 1,290 feet below sea level. Hydrogaphic surveys have shown the river could provide power and irrigation for Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel if peace comes to the Middle East, the National Geographic Society says. ?GARBAGE?

"Happy Birthday" pins were given to each girl as a surprise from Donna Clifton, Linda Kay Harrell and Betsy Postel. All sang "Happy Birthday" and enjoyed Kool Aid and birthday cake decorated by Mrs. Leverne Clifton and Mrs. Milo Postel.
