‘ Deeps and Shallows With A Line | (Repeated by Request) The proverbial rooster awakens the slumbering world by trumpetâ€" ing: "Cockâ€"aâ€"doodleâ€"doo." But my mneighbor‘s cock, being an individâ€" ualist, and, in his own opinion, a fowl of great merit, startles me into consciousness with the chalâ€" "PONâ€"THEâ€"DEâ€"LEâ€"ON! COMEâ€" TO â€" THE â€" FOUNTAIN â€" OF â€" YOoUTH! * When I hear motor brakes jammed, I know that Leon is alâ€" ready holding up traffic while he crosses the country road to our He arrives early, stopping only at the roadside ditch to drink. With his bandy legs spread firmly apart, he lowers his yellow beak to the weedy water. Perhaps there are really youthâ€"giving properties to this ditchâ€"fountain. ‘Anyway, that is what Leon would have my hens believe. "COME TO THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!* he clarions over and My white rock hens respond eagerly to his call. With chuckles of rooster talk Leon easily perâ€" suades hen after hen to fly over the wire fence. When he has a following of simpering admirers, he struts away, sneering derisively at my white rock roosters left Leon is a small rooster of mixed breed. His head is crowned with a scarlet comb that quivers with pride. When he walks, his dangling wattles slap together like red lacquered castenets. Russet feathâ€" ers cover his neck and back, partâ€" ing, Prince Albert fashion, to disâ€" close the irridescent black feathers behind. coated with tough gray scales. His spurs are long and horny. In spite of his imbibing at the foadside ditch, he is no longer young . . . except, perhaps, in spirit, for he does seem to have a definite atâ€" traction for my silly hens. The day starts with picnic lunch for the harem. Choice worms are unearthed, and attention is called to the red berries which abound on the honeysuckle hedge. About noon, when the sun has warmed the pansy bed, there is a dusting party. Leon shows the hens the proper method for upâ€" rooting as many plants as possible. ‘The fine dry earth flies in smothâ€" ering clouds until the chickens beâ€" come almost hidden in flowerâ€"bed David E. Lilienthal To Address North Shore Forum Nov. 2 cavities. David E. Lilienthal, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, will speak under the auspices of the North Shore Forum at 8:15 Wednesday evening, November 2, in the main auditorium of the North Shore Congregation Israel in Glencoe. The second speaker on the forâ€" um series, Lilienthal is a native of the Chicago area. He was born in Morton, Illinois. Since his appointment as chief of atomic energy production and research, he has been constantly in the headlines. Only a few weeks ago a senatorial investigating comâ€" mittee completely exhonerated him of charges of "incredible â€"misâ€" In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him a director of the infant Tennessee Valley Authority. In 1941 he was chairman of TVA and nrv:z-i:dflnt capaâ€" city until 1946. In 1946 President Truman appointed him chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. ‘The series has been completely sold out, and only series tickets are available® allowing the purchâ€" aser to sit in another auditorium where the speaker can ‘The remaining speakers on the series are Dr. Ralph Bunche, Benâ€" nett Cerf and Vera Nicheles Dean.

All Kinds of Drainage WATERPROOFING Day Work or Contract Although Leon seems to expect faithful homage from his entire harem, he shows a definite favorâ€" itism for one particular hen. Beâ€" steps, his chest thrown out in inâ€" solent masculine pride. The business of finding a nest is a complicated task for any rooster, fer hens are not easily satisfied. Leon tries out the corâ€" ner at the bay window, but gives that up, presumably because the location is too likely to be found. By intricate maneuvering he manâ€" ages a suitable nest underâ€" the grape vines, but before he can become disentangled, his mate has chosen herself a place in the dark of the woodpile. Leon follows her with masculine expostulations, probably insisting that the egg will be broken if one stick is disturbed. But this is womanâ€"business, and mamma wins out. * As the day ends, Leon coaxes the hens to the roadside ditch. "Drink, drink, my pretty ones, of the fountain of youth," he chortles over and over again, In frantic haste I shoo my chicâ€" kens home, away from the eveâ€" ning traffic, blocking Leon‘s scheme to carry them off to my neighbor‘s coop. He submits to my authority with bad grace, reluctâ€" antly following all the way to our back yard. With all his faults, Leon is disâ€" creet. He does not spend the night with my hens, but with many tender gabblings, bids his harem adieu, and then, with a great show of virtue, walks defiantly down our drive. I sigh with relief as I count my charges and shut them in the chicken yard, but no sooner have I turned my back than there is Leon again, delivering a parting message. With his gray legs firmâ€" ly planted, he throws back his imâ€" pudent head and crows: "PONâ€" THEâ€"DEâ€"LEâ€"ON! COMEâ€"TOâ€"THE ~â€"FOUNTAINâ€"OFâ€"YOUTH!" At least that is the way it sounds to me. Of course, to his unpredictable concubines, the mesâ€" sage may be a parting admonition, a plea for proper decorum. Then he turns and scuttles for home before darkness settles down on the world. Man, the great enigma, craves, Wherever he may roam, Home comforts when he‘s on the move, Trained service in the home.
