Bird Cover. Some of the companies creating Pugetopolis are showing considerable conscience. On its 1,200 acres, Intalco has planted bird cover, posted the lands for hunting, leased ground cheaply to neighboring farmers and, where possible, kept the cherished fruit orchards.

Fear of their white depositor's antagonistic reaction to publicity of this fact has kept the bank's directors silent...
Lynch may well win a place if the muscle he pulled in the Penn Relays ever heals. He turned in a 51.3 early this spring in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles and has had no competition in any race in which he has been healthy.
