Yes. air. that tree had wet feet. It was standing in water. Too much water can be as bad as too little water. That tree sickened and died. The leaves fell off so that it became bare. The bark loosened and fell off. and in time the wind broke off most of the smaller limbs. Mean- while the pond grew bigger and bigger so that in time dry land was a long way from that lone tree in the middle of the pond. Paddy was sure that only folks who could swim or fly could get to it

For a long time only a few of. the feathered folk. Croaker thel Raven. Blacky the Crow. Sam- my Jay and a few others. ever: had visited it. So Paddy had been startled when he discover- ed up in that tree a small per- son in a pretty fur coat who said he couldn't fly and he couldn't swim but had jumped out to that tree. it was Timmy the Flying Squirrel.

"Do you believe that?" asked Paddy of Mrs. Paddy.

"He says he did." replied Mrs.

addy.

"But that doesn't prove that he did. You just cannot believe everything you hear. That is too bad. but it is true. He says he can't swim and he can't fly but it would be easier to do eith- er of those things than to jump such a long distance as from the shore out to this tree." de clared Paddy.

Mrs. Paddy looked over to the shore where at the edge of the water Lightfoot the Deer was standing. He had come for his nightly drink. She slowly shook her head. "Even Lightfoot couldn't jump that far and he

is the best ininpar 1 know. Is couldn't do it in a lot of jumps. But this little fellow up in the treesayahecaftswimandhe can't tly." said she.

How did Timmy get out there! Did he or didn't he jump?

”Well. he's there isn't he? 1! he can't swim and he cant! fly

(now am he get there if he didn't

jump?" Mrs. Paddy wanted to know.

"Nobody can jump as far as that,” declared Paddy positive- ly. "l believe him when he says he can't fly. I don't know any- one but birds and insects. ex- cept l-'litter the Bat. who can fly, But I don't know anybody who cant swim if they try. So it is easier to believe that he swam out to this tree than to be- lieve he jumped out to it.”

"Perhaps he sailed out on a log or big piece of bark," said

Mrs. Paddy. ”Do you see a log or piece of bark anywhere around?” de

manded Paddy.

One of the weirdest results ever achieved in a band played in a national championship occurred last month in the Masters Team of Four event held in Pittsburgh.

A tearn lad by les Goren of Miami Beach was playing a 86-hour! knockout match against a foursome led by not Rubinow of New York. The Rubinow teem eventually triumphed by 1230 points. but not before they had audered a heavy penalty in the eccompan 3... hand.

when the Ruhiriow North- Iouth pair played the deal. the bidding went as shown in the dia- gram. South responded to his partners lnforniatory double of

two top-night teams should wind up in a contract of one diamond doubled. each deciarer playing in a three-card suit, and each suf- fering a penalty of 1100 points.

it would appear that both Souths should have passed rather than bid one diamond. Nothing catastrophic could then have occurred. About the worst that might have happened would be a two-trick set at one heart duh bled.

TORONTO lCPl - The United States earth satellite. stalled by

h i ' hitches. will not be launched for at least another six months. a U.S. scientist indicated Friday. Dr. L. V. Berkuer of New York-. president of Associated Universi- ties, lnc., told a press conference it will take until next March to set up global stations to track the man-made moon. Dr. Bcrkner is among 300 U.S. scientists here for the ll-day as- sembly of the international Un- ion of Geodesy and Geophysics. More than 1.200 delegates from 56 countries are attending the meeting to discuss results of their studies of the eanh and to assess first results of the International Geophysical Year.- It was believed originally the U.S. planned to fire its satellite- a basketball - sire metal sphere p a c k e d with scientific instru- ments-into space this fall. Var- ious factors, ranging trom cam- eras to rocket fuel. had been blamed for its delayed debut. Dr. Berkner said In main track- ing slationa. including 12 optical stations, will be established to keep tabs on the satellite as it or-i bits near the equator.

He said Western scientists have no definite information in the Russian satellite. also due to be launched next year as part of the IGY world-wide examinatlu of the earth's phenomena and en- vironment.

He said it is guessed the Soviet model will be roughly of the same size as the U.s. satellite. More details are expected to be an- nounced at an international meetr ing in Washington next month on IGY rockets and satellite pro- grams.

Dr. Berkner said the males benefit of the satellite program would lie in the field of meteor- ology. lnformation on storm cen- tres ohaerved around the globe would be of utmost value.

He dismissed arguments about the superiority of the Russian Satellite course. generally along the meridian and over the polee. over the U.S. orbit. Many orbita would be tested for future satel- lites and each would have its own merits.

Canada's main projects for IGY are studies of icefieids in the Churchill area to determine fac- tors contributing to their forma- tion. of the ionosphere for re search on radio communications. and of the aurora borealis. or northern lights. and its relation- ship to magnetic storms.
