McKlNLEYS FEATHERED FRIENDS Gulls Munch After Pupils Lunch Southland Blind bats may have their own radar lo avoid' collisions as Ihcy zoom through caverns and corridors. Blit tlis Seagull cleanup squadron at McKlnloy Junior High Sclrool has not only a timepiece but apparently a calendar and almanac as well. School days at'noon, about 50 of Die birds arrive from the west and settle on the root of the auditorium adjoining the playground and pavilion where su.dems are finishing their lunches. As the bell jangles calling tho students back to classes, llie gulls rise in a body and drop to the ground behind the retreating youngsters. Kor an hour they ate busy picking up last scrap of lunch left, mpslly on purpose, by the boys and girls.

Many of the pupils have bn- come very fond of the birds and loss sciaps of their sandwiches out where the birds will find them. And the custodians help, loo, salvaging tasty bits from the trash cans in the pavilion lo provide cial treats for the squadron. Samuel Schwartz, principal of McKinlcy Junior High, re- porls that he has had excellent cooperation'from tlie students in keeping the luncheon pavilion He has not tried to discourage the gull feeding, however, because he likes tlit 1 birds and kids who like them, loo. The amazing Ihing aboul these gulls, he has noticed, is that they not only arrive on lime at noon but thai few it any of them are ever scon in the school area on Saturdays or Sundays and they seem lo know when it's Christinas or Kastcr vacation and they don't even show up on Lincoln's Birthday.
