Self-Taught Bird Carver Uses Driftwood Bases By NORMA STONE THERE'S MORE TO BIRDS A WATCHING. Bird-watchers are apt to travel to Iceland and Africa or to get up at 6 a.m.

to observe birds in Morningside Cemetery. Helen Lay Strong is addicted to birds, too, But this gal (who lives on four corners near Waterloo) doesn't watch them--she whittles birds 1 Mrs. inherited a collection of stuffed birds from her father. And she uses many of her birds as "models for her bird carvings. The Lay family once owned 300 acres overlooking Black Lake and the Monlezuma swamps--before it became a bird sanctuary.

There always was birdlife for Helen as a of the carvings I do are very tiny--others are proportioned to scale. When I want to carve a bird (not from the stuffed models) I use the form and colorings from my collection of bird books," Helen explained. A miniature wood hen has shaded brown feathers with a fanned upright tail that doesn't measure more than an inch and half around. A hooded Merganser duck was created slightly smaller than the original stuffed duck. It is a faithful representation in wood with its beautiful, crested head.

HELEN STRONG HAS BEEN SELLING her bird carvings for eight years and she hasn't finished half of this year's orders. Gift shops and department stores all over the country have her bird arrangements.

Abigail VanBuren DEAR ABBY: The husband of a friend of mine suddenly started wearing a wedding ring, after twelve years of marriage. Naturally I commented on it.

My friend seemed very proud of the fact that her husband was wearing it, and asked me I didn't buy MY, husband one. I told her that most cultured men did not wear wedding rings. (My husband is an executive, her's is not.) I pointed out that "J.F.K." never wore one and the Kennedys reeked with culture. I said that once in a while you will see a cultured man wearing a wedding ring, but for the most part, only middle-class laborers wear them. We got into quite a hot discussion over it.

Can you settle this? EXECUTIVE'S WIFE. DEAR WIFE: I doubt that statistics are available on how many "cultured" men wear wedding rings. But what constitutes Social position? Education? Money? it's the latter, you don't qualify. Your remarks were unkind and uncalled for. DEAR ABBY: I recently attended a very nice buffet supper given in honor of an out- oMown guest.

There were 55 or 60 other guests present. It was the kind of party where (everyone milled around. The guest of honor always seemed to be tied up talking to someone and, since I am not the pushy type who breaks into conversations, I never got around to meeting him. Whose fault was this? NAMELESS IN WAYZATA DEAR NAMELESS: Yours. It is not considered "pushy" for a guest to introduce himself at such a party.

It's SOP. DEAR ABBY: Would you please print a list of homes for unwed mothers? It doesn't have to be a long list. Just a few a places I can call'. I don't know where to look. Also, dp you know if these homes want much money from the girl, and does she have to pay it all at once? I can't give you my name or address, but I pray that you will answer me in' your column.

Thank you. NEEDS SOMEONE DEAR NEEDS: There are hundreds of homes for unwed mothers throughout the country. The BOOTH MEMORIAL HOMES supported by the Salvation Army, have literally saved the lives of tousands of girls. Also the FLORENCE CRITTENDEN HOMES. If there Is a FAMILY SERVICE ASSOCIATION near you, call can help you.

Financial arrangements can be worked out If necessary. Good luck. DEAR ABBY: This is for the woman who complained about the barber cutting her husband's eyebrows. She said the barber asked her husband if he wanted his eyebrows trimmed and man said, "Go ahead." So the customer has no kick coming, and neither does his wife. Just because the wife said the barber left only "a few" hairs over each eye mean you have to believe her.

Some women exaggerate so much it isn't funny. I am a barber and I-have cut more hair off some men's eyebrows than they've got on their heads. And I never charge them for it. It's just a courtesy. You can't please some people no matter what.

Thank you. ANGELO IN THE FIRST CHAIR Troubled? Write to ABBY, Box 69700, Los Angeles, Calif. For a personal reply, enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

Water thrushes and an oven-bird are piece of pine and a sharp jackknife. Because Helen uses driftwood as bases for her arrangements, she and her family and neighbors collect lots of it. Driftwood piled up on the front porch and all around the house so that it continues to weather. Driftwood is admirably adapted for the bird settings. Helen often uses the silvery driftwood in natural forms.

For instanqe, a snake is curled around a door knob and another weaves sinuously on a table. She uses red basswood placed on a piece of stump fence with moss and a real snail shell. One of the most beautiful birds is the wood duck. He is resplendent with black, white, vermilion, gold, brown, green and purple feathers. He also has a brilliant blue beak and wine- colored breast feathers tipped in white.

While the delicate carving is accurate in contour and shape of wings, heads and font, Helen has to improvise in a few areas. "I use tiny pieces of leather from kid gloves for web- seeds for eyes and a forked-tongue to make footed birds and paint fine wire for the tiny the snake effect. Another piece of driftwood was shaped a road-runner bird. Not only does Helen use woods, she works with gnarled roots, lichen, moss and fungus. When she begins a bird carving, she first makes a paper pattern.

Then she pins the pattern on a driftwood branch where she plans to place the bird. Next, she draws with pencil on a block claw-foot birds," Helen revealed. (She wears a heavier leather thumb-piece as her jackknife is fine-honed). The gal who claims she's "strictly for the birds," roams the woods behind the Strongs' 100-year-old house to gather unusual dried woods, fungus, seeds, moss and rocks.
