But to the AHA, bént on hu- mane treatment for noble steeds, it was the most important three seconds in the movie. It was a scene from the char- fot race. In it four horses and one chariot took a tumble. The animals, dashing héadlong around the arena, were seen go- ing down in a tangle of chariot wheels and traces. It was a spec- tacular fall, but the AHA ob- jected on grounds that it depict- ed "apparent cruelty." James Jack, Jr, supervisor of the AHA's Hollywood office, ordered the entire scene cut. Director William Wyler, a man sympathetic with the aims of the AHA, complied -- except for 18 frames. He left in the begin- ning of the fall itself, which takes up. about one second of film time, Mr. Jack originally objected to about four seconds. Mr," Wiyer. and 'Metro - Gold- wyn-Mayer refused to delete the start' of the fall becausa-'they "editorially could net" do so. The suggestion of a fall had to be left in to explain why it was that Ben-Hur, rounding the bend seconds later, ran into a fallen chariot, gn PIGGIES WILL GO TO MARKET -- Young' pigs like these Ll A Waugh in the Christian Science Monitor.

Soon "the visiting birds and their ways began to stretch out birds very close to you. It ean be about 8" by 23", By closing it at each end and fitting it with a glass top, you make it into a good winter feeder, A recipe that's "for the birds" is as follows: Mix 1 cup of melt- ed bacon fat with five table- spoons of peanut butter until smooth. Add enough corn meal "to thicken the mixture to a con- sistency that is easily handled and formed into shape. Coat a pine cone with this mixture or spoon it into the homemade feeding log described earlier and watch your bird friends eat it up. Children will soon learn that there is a bird etiquette to be followed when watching at the window, Slow, quiet moves are necessary if the birds are to come in close. Since this is for reign to the nature of most chil- dren, it is interesting to watch them develop the self-discipline required. It is true that the unusual birds you attract with your na- ture program may be greatly outnumbered by the sparrows or . the species that happens to be common to your part of the country. But, to a child, a spar- row holds wonder, too, and the inquiring parent might be sur- prised to find that there are 30 different varieties of sparrows-- each with its own markings and personality. It challenges even an adult to tell them apart! One final and important point stressed by the Audubon Socie- ty: Once you start feeding birds in winter, do not stop.

When Paul arrived in Sopiatit he moved in with Aquila a Priscilla and worked with them in the trade in order to help support himsel!, Anti-Semitisma was strong in that day, too.

There shall be no use of any contrivance or ap- paratus for tripping or other- wise treating animals in an un- acceptably harsh manne'. However, in - the :'casg-- of American movies made: abroad-- "Ben-Hur" for instance = this procedure is not followed. AHA representatives are not on hand to supervise the animal action, as they are for all U.S. film shot in this country, in Mexico, and in Canada, writes John C. AY pushed beyond their normal ca. pabilities -- that a fall be taken only by a horse trained to fall, ed to. jump, and so on. . Mr. Jack points out that an animal can be harassed without being physically injured, but that harassment itself consti. tutes cruelty. Unintentional crue elty can also readily, occur on any set. AHA representatives, who knhow animals "well, are - trained to detect these subtleties.

CR New air-conditioned helmets -that reportedly may make far- mers: look like the men from Mars 'were described at the re- cent meeting of the American Society of Agricultural Engin- eers in Chicago.

Neils: P. Jense, physicist an Robert C. Mueller, manager of marketing with the Jamieson Laboratories of Santa Monica, Calit., believe the helmet will find ready acceptance among farmers in dusty areas, but say frankly that they don't know what the general reaction will be. "Some people suffer . from claustrophobia 'when putting on the helmet, others are delighted with it," the report. "We realize, though, that something as new as this takes hold only by de- grees, and we believe that in time air - conditioned helmets will be as acceptable as home air conditioners are now."

What is best of all, her early interest developed a basic curiosity that has led to books about birds, identifying them, and learning to treat all animals with kind- ness and tolerance. It is a fun project that iy educational, too, Children, as they grow older, can help mix special foods for the birds, plan special tidbits to attract specific breeds, keep picture records of the birds that come to the feed- er, and do other projects that fit their age and ability.
