Long-Tail Fowl Makes Debut A fancy chicken with a 30-toot - long tail rules the roost in Japan. Breeders in the southwestern part of the country have been raising the remarkable long - tailed fowl for three centuries. Called Onagadori. from "O" for tail, "naga" meaning long, and "dori." for fowl, they evolved from the common domestic ? chicken. Only roosters can grow the long tails, which can be black and white, red and black, or pure white. The fantastic fowl recently immigrated to the United States. Dr. Frank X. Ogasawara. an avian physiologist who had been studying them in Japan with the support of the National Geographic Society, brought back 30 eggs to his laboratory at the University of California at Davis. His precious cargo yielded 15 chicks. The tiny creatures have great potential. Dr. Ogasawara reports in the December National Geographic. "Successful hatching could give this country breeding stock for research in genetics, cell growth, and the molting process." In Japan the birds are still lairly numerous, although the country has fewer than 24 fanciers and breeders. "There are no real secrets to raising the long ? tailed fowl." says an expert. "One must have good breeding stock and look for birds of calm disposition, and one must keep them in good health and train them to withstand confinement." After they reach five or six months of age. the birds are kept in tall, specially built roost boxes because any strenuous outside activity could break off their leathers. As the plumes lengthen -? about three feet a yeai -- they are coiled and hung on a hook inside the box by a loop of twine. overtakes most breeders." explains l)i Ogasawara " I hex concentrate on developing color changes or greater length of tail, or on producing fowl to meet certain highly specific judging standards." ??">4 t+ tic Sut GetlUUm &?ACl I* 6H% TO<vUd Travelers Service Station* 401 ByPn* - , HAVE A JOLLY GOOD HOLIDAY FULL OF LOVE AND LAUGHTER! E.E. SMITH Clerk oF Superior Court Social Security News BYC.V. Shelton, Field Representative Fayetteviile Social Security Office At this time of year when we are approaching the date on which we celebrate the birth of Chriit, it is difficult to write about an earthly subject such as Social Security. Social Security has been provided in our democratic society by the vote of our elected representatives to provide a degree of security for those of us when we reach retirement age or become disabled to work. And to provide monetary security to our survivors in the event of our death. Those of us who are currently working and contributing tax money to the social security system in the form of IICA taxes are actually paying the benefits to those who are now receiving social security payments. By a small stretch of the imagination then. I am of the opinion thai by paying social security tax money which in turn is used to provide payments to those who are aged, disabled and bereaved, we are assisting those fellow hunvn beings who are less fortunate than we are. In the old days, when communities were smaller. people helped one another directly, especially at Christmas time. This is still done of course, but generally we have become more impersonal in our concern for others. At least, through the social security system, even though our tax contributions are compulsory, we are providing the funds to assist our fellow countrymen. I should like to personally thank those of you who have read this column for your contributions to the social security system and the assistance, thereby, which you have given to the less fortunate individuals in our society. * It's always a pleasure to wish our friends happiness!
