Lord Home arrived at Gander from London early Thursday and in the afternoon boarded a fisher- ies deparlment helicopter for a, sightseeing trip and a visit to Grand Falls. They met headwinds up to 50 miles an hour on the 65- milg hop.

He began looking about. Pres- ently he found another one just breaking through the ground. Be- fore he stopped looking, he had found nearly a dozen. Every one of them had been planted by Hali- py Jack Squirrel. They had sprung up from acorns Happy Jack had failed to find. or else hadn't been hungry enough to hunt for.
