But the President's tilt with an aggressive, aquatic cottontail may not have been the most bizarre incident involving humans and wildlife last year, according to the National Wildlife federation. 1979 was a wild year for wildlife, the citizens conservation group found in its annual survey of such happenings--a year in which the human and animal kingdoms traded insults, and also exchanged a few favors. Human vandals assaulted wildlife, for instance, by draining or cutting off the water supply at two fish hatcheries-killing 450,000 trout**"and salmon- near Rochester, N Y. and 25,000 brown trout at Leetown, W. Ya. A school of fish in Lake Huron struck back by clogging a water intake for an Ontario Hydro, nuclear reactor, thus shutting down the Canadian power plant for 40 hours. A Washington, D C., phy­ sician beat a Can­ ada goose to death with a golf club, allegedly after the bird's honking interfered with his putting. But other doctors made up for this lapse by rendering services to wildlife beyond the call of duty. Soviet surgeons performed a successful cataract operation by inserting an artificial lens in the eye of a seal. When the operation was) over the seal performed several tricks for the doc­ tors. Another Russian surgeon, aboard a fishing trawler, successfully treated the wounds of a dolphin that had been attacked by a blue shark, then released the happy marine mammal. For a black-crested night heron whose lower beak had snapped in two. a San Francisco dentist con­ structed a new beak out of the same pink acrylic that he uses for human dentures. He attached it with tiny wires in a six-hour operation and the heron is again spearing fish. It was a year in which man discovered new ways to put wild critters to work, the NWF survey found. The West German city of Gop- pingen put some electricity- emitting goldfish into its municipal water supply "to monitor its purity. If the water becomes polluted, the six Gnathonemus fish generate less current than usual, which sets off an alarm at the waterworks' headquarters. In New York City the Museum of Natural History employed thousands of tiny , dermestid beetles to dislodge matter from the bodies of tiny mammals without disturbing their delicate skeletal structures. And in Kailua. Hawaii, the U.S. Coast Guard revealed that it is now training eagle- eyed pigeons to search for people lost at sea. It was again a newsy year for snakes. In Los Angeles. Cal., a man opened his door to a stranger who flashed a knife and a snake and threatened to turn the reptile loose. The thief escaped in the victim's car witn $400 in cash and jewelry. Italia customs agents seized a boa named Pedro that an American fighter wore into a boxing ring to psych his opponent. Australian custom^ officers frisked a nervy traveler from Bali and impounded five pythons that he tried to smuggle into their country in his underpants and in pouches strapped to his legs. It was also a busy year for bees. An estimated 9 million of them swarmed in on Flintstone, Md., after the tractor-trailer in which they were riding overturned. Another swarm of bees attacked hundreds of school girls at a track meet in Vereeniging, South Africa. The bees were apparently attracted by the girls' hairspray. It was a year in which man devised some new in­ stitutions for animals, the NWF survey revealed. Bird lovers in the East German village of Loburg opened a hospital for storks, a threatened species in that country. In Sri Lanka, an orphanage was established for young elephants separated from their parents. In Newport, Cal., a turtle named "No. 6" won a turtle 'race and then showed how he felt about one of man's in: stitutions, the racing game, by latching onto the upper lip of his trainer, who sought to • give him a congratulatory kiss. It took a dose of valium to unfasten his grip. A couple of wildlife records were set. In the annual Mayor's Frog Hop at Baltimore, Md.» an entry named Cindy jumped to a height of 3 feet 9 inches, outdistancing one Lightfoot Louie. In San Antonio, a male whooping crane named Crip died at 33-a record for that rare bird in captivity. And Andre, the friendly 220- pound seal who swims each year from his winter home in a Boston aquarium to his summer home at Rockport, Me., set a new record for the 160-mile course--65 hours. Not breathtaking, to be sure, but 17 hours faster thah last year's time. • . ' Finally, it was a year in which a raccoon got caught in a drug bust. After one burglary- in which narcotics were taken, a Falls Church, Va., physician trapped an intruder on a Return visit to his office and found that it was-that-s right--a "masked bandit" with a ringed-tail. After being lured away from the hard stuff with peanut butter and sardines, the two-time offender was set loose in a woods several miles away for self- rehabilitation. 0 T E S T F O R T O T S Is your child among the half a million preschool chil­ dren in America with vision problems?

The seiies of films, "Whatever Happened to the Human Race", are scheduled for the next four weekends at the church at 7 p.m. Saturdays and Sun­ days. The first film, titled "Abortion of the Human Race" held the attention of everyone present. After the showing of the film, discussion and questions were entertained by the pastor. Rev. Gerald Robertson, concerning reaction persons could take to respond to the events revealed in the film. It is believed that the attention will increase in the following weekend showings as interest in the social, moral and spiritual interests are examined The Saturday and Sunday film, at 7 p.m.. at the church munity.

Almost one million motor "vehicles are stolen every year which is about one theft every 33 seconds, according to FBI statistics. To blame joyriding delinquents or independent thieves for the high level of auto theft would ignore professional thieves. Law enforcement and insurance sources believe that organized theft rings are responsible for an ever in­ creasing percentage of auto thefts. When professional thieves enter the picture, the recovery rate for stolen vehicles drops. About 40 ' percent of the stolen vehicles are never recovered and only 15 percent of the cases are cleared by arrest. One of the primary reasons for the low recovery rate is that the cars stolen by professionals are many times cut up for parts. Ac­ cording to one insurance industry source, when a $5,000 auto is stolen and dismantled for parts, the collective price can be as much as $20,000. One can never be com­ pletely protected from auto thieves; however, there are certain measures drivers can take to discourage auto rustlers. By the simple act of removing the keys from the car and locking it, auto owners can reduce the theft potential drastically. Ac­ cording to the FBI, keys left in cars account for more than 40 percent of auto thefts and unlocked cars make up 80 percent of auto thefts. Parking in well-lighted and often-traveled areas will discourage thieves by in­ creasing the potential of being observed. When shopping, don't leave packages or other valuables in plain sight. Put them in the trunk. Many times it is necessary to park in parking garages. When doing so, give the parking attendant only the ignition and door key. By leaving the entire key ring, one might be opening one's home or trunk to burglary. Unless required by state law, drivers should never leave license, title or registration in the car. With any of these documents, the thief can easily represent tiimself as the real owner of the car. ^ If possible, cars should be parked in garages when at home. Both car and garage should be locked. Many products have app­ eared in the market place to ward off, or at least delay even the highly skille y professional car thieves. Some devices impede the fuel flow or electrical current to keep the car from moving, some activate a siren or flashing lights when forcible entry is attempted and some lock the wheels, hood, doors or brakes. Engraved vehicle iden­ tification numbers required by federal law are being removed by the professional thieves. It is advisable to etch the license number or Social Security number in hard-to-find spots around the car. One Dollar In Taxes May Go To Campaigns Taxpayers again this year have the option of ear­ marking one dollar each on their federal income tax returns for a general fund to meet campaign expenses of the 1980 presidential elec­ tion, the Internal ' Revenue Service said. Last year, $35.2 million was designated from general funds for this purpose. Since the refund was initiated in 1972, a total of $206.7 million has been credited to the fund. The IRS said that marking the designation on a federal income tax return will not increase the individual's tax or decrease the amount of refund. On a joint return, the election to designate or not designate is available to the husband as well as the wife. Both may choose to designate, both may elect not to desigante, or one may elect to designate one dollar to the fund and the other decline. A designatiqn, once made, may not be revoked. However, a taxpayer who did not make a designation on a return for an earlier year may do so by filing an amended return. • • • • Some people are never happier than when they're getting others into diffi­ culties. THE MICROWAVE OVEN Microwave ovens are creating a good deal of interest toddy. This type oven cooks with waves of energy, uses less energy, less water for vegetables and keeps the nutritional value of foods high since it cooks, far quicker than the conventional ovens. In addition to the time factor thei\e are advantages of micro­ wave cooking. The utensils used can be paper since the micro­ waves will not affect them. Micro­ waves do not hove to be pre­ heated. Different ovens have dif­ ferent features. Some ovens have a defrost and cook cycle, while others have meal sensors probes. Most, recipes for microwave cooking give a "standing time", a time when after the cooking the product should look a little under­ cooked and should have time to cool slightly. It will continue to cook even after being taken out of the oven. The days of microwave cook­ ing ore here. More and more fam­ ilies want to conserve energy as well as time. Working wives begin to look upon the time-saving appliance as a necessity rather than a convenience or luxury item. * * * * When you abandon the idea that your mission is to regulate other people you're in a position to improve yourself. • » • • Citizens who grow what they eat in 1980, may not have to grumble about the high cost of food.
