0( tsmourh Herold (N.H.) Saturday. Feb. 14. 1970 A A The old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a jund of cure is certainly true enough, and the ounce of pre- becomes increasingly important as the prospects of KIIV form of cure diminishes. An example is the effect of oil pollution on (he world's migratory waterfowl population.

Concerned people try to help once a spillage has occurred, but it is almost impossible to repair the damage done when quantities of oil are released into the sea. To emphasize this point, we pass along the following information received from the Society of New Hampshire. It indicates the effort required to save just one oiled bird. 1. When the bird is picked up at the shore, place it immediately in a doth (muslin or burlap) bag.

Draw the mouth of ths bag up around the bird's neck and tie it, but not so tightly it chokes the bird. 2. Take the bird immediately to a heated shelter preferably a room at 70 degrees temperature, bu! not lower than 65 degrees. 3. Take bird from bag and dust its feathers thorouglily with sawdust or Fuller's earth.

Rub material into feathers. The purpose is to absorb and remove from the feathers the bulk of the bunker oil. Repeat as necessary. 4. Place bird in a clean cloth bag and let both the bird and yourself rest about an hour.

5. Take bird from bag and wash the bird thoroughly in a mild detergent, the type that one would use in hand-washing dishes. Bath water should be hot (110 degrees). It will probably be necessary' to lather and rinse the bird twice. Wipe feathers with rag or cotton soaked in detergent water.

6. Dry with clean rags and'or hair dryer. 7. Do not feed unless bird is alert. 8.

Keep bird in warm shelter for 48 hours. 9. If bird still is alive after 48 hours, try to get it to local Audubon Society or Humane Society. The foregoing nine recommendations constitute "first-aid" for an oiled bird and are based upon the experience of the Royal Society for Protection of Birds at the Land's End, England, oiling tragedy. Assuming the blri has survived this emergency treatment, extended care is necessary, and includes such measures as fpur-times-daily baths in room temperature sea water to stimulate the bird to preen its feathers and so re- waterproof them, and feeding.

Most birds subject to oiling are fish eaters, so three times a day fish of appropriate size must be obtained, rinsed in salt water and, in all probability, force fed to the bird for a while. Oiled birds should never be placed on hay or straw since this will subject the bird to a pulmonary infection. In badly oiled cases, the bird may not recover until it moults its present feathers. Waiting for a moult may require as long as six months. There is nothing that looks so helpless or hopeless as a sea bird thickly covered with bunker oil.

As can be seen from the efforts are involved and time-consuming. What's worse, they are seldom successful, for the mortality rate in oiling cases is high in spite of the most concerted efforts. "Tis said at the Portsmouth Police Department that if you plan to go hunting with a certain officer named Dan Stuart, you should take along your bike or make some other provisions for the trip home. Seems last fall Dan and fellow- officer Steve Herrmann, and Steve's brother-in-law, headed up Nottingham way to hunt, Dan and Steve in Dan's car, and Steve's brother-in-law following in his own car. They parked the cars on a tote road.

So that they might keep track of one another's whereabouts, they decided on a. method of communication. The first one to come back to the car and change his hunting area was to mark an on the small slip of paper placed under Dan's windshield wiper indicating the direction he intended to go. After a few hours, Steve's brother-in-law decided to quit early, and he left for home. No need for him to leave an arrow, since his car would be gone they would know he'd left for home.

So far, so good. Then Steve decided to change areas, so he returned to Dan's car, penciled an arrow on the slip of paper and placed it to point to the wooded area across the tote road. Well, sir, that's when everything started to go awry. Whether the wind blew the paper (unlikely), whether some prankster happened by and altered the arrow (also unlikely), or whether some hunter or hiker moved the paper out of curiosity (more likely, but not too likely), does not seem clear. In any case, Dan returned to his car, found the other car gone, no one around, and the arrow pointing back out the tote road toward the highway.

After looking around and waiting a bit, he decided the arrow meant Steve had gone home with his brother-in-law. So Dan went home. When we speculate on all the possible confusing situations this cryptic means of communicating could have generated, they re'ally didn't do too badly. And Steve was lucky when he "emerged from, the woods and found both cars gone, he managed to hitch a ride home with a passerby who happened to live in Portsmouth. The smelt are picking up in the Bay not so much in among the densely clustered shanties as on the outside in such areas as John Stone's, Layton's, off Pierce's Point, Lower Ebb of the Winnicut, and some nice catches have been made at the old mooring at the base.

The creeks have been pretty well; some nice catches have been taken on the top of the tide right near shore. Talk about living high off the hog there is a big old cock pheasant living in the Aldrich Road area and he has it made. Mrs. Roger Kelchner feeds him; Carl Welde feeds him- and so do Shirley Simpson and Helen O'Brien, and otfi- ers, we are told. When he arrived in the neighborhood he was minus his tail, which probably means that he stayed on the ground too long while being chased by a dog, or he might have lost it while in the pen at the pheasant farm if he is one of our state-raised birds.

He is slowly growing a new one, though, and this spring he should be strutting around, sporting his new two-foot fail and crowing for the benefit of all his lady friends. Th" other day we were ta'king with Miss iina Trueman of Portsmouth about the Connecticut Lake? region and she mentioned that she recalled the days when what is row Lake Francis was once a beautiful valley doited with farm houses. We, too, remember those days, for a friend of ours, Fonroe Chapcll who was a guide in that country for many years, lived in the vallev. Then came the Corps of Engineers: the trees were cut and the people moved, and Murphy Dam was hunt. Thus the valley became 1-akc Francis, named after then- Governor Francis Murphy.

Miss Trecman used to travel extensively in the N'orth Counlrv with a friend, Florence Cole Stockman. They were friendly with the Tabors of the lower village. We suspect that Tabor Notch a beautiful piece of North Country up on Hall Stream, was named after the Tabor family. Nina tells us that Florence wrote a book about Pittsburg. We understand it was never published, but that the manuscript is in the custody of UXH and is used by the students and prnfcssors for research purposes.

The lad'ies plan to return to the stamping grounds summer to see what charges have taken We can tell them will be surprised at how few (here really are. It is still wild, beautiful country- And speaking of the North Country, we hear through the grapevine that Vernon and Pearl Howes may be thinking oi coming out of retirement to resume active management of Tall Timber on Back Lake in Piltshurg. They have had a couple of years of well deserved and needed rest, and inny be that ihev feel they want to resume a more active nA-.

Rolls Over York Five ELIOT For York High the basketball season came lo a dreary close lasl nighl here when the dropped their season finale 80-64 to tough Marshwood High. Marshwood had to win if its slim hopes al a shot in the Maine Western Division Class Tournament coming soon were to stay alive. The victorious Hawks (12-61 face another must game tonighl at Yarmouth High School. Even if they win they may not reach the top eight Western Division teams, thus qualifying them for a tourney berth. If they lose they surely can forget about am tournament chance.

One of the big downfalls for the Hawks hit them earlier this year when they fell upset tims to this same York crew The Wildcats won the first en counter of the two rivals, 68-66 back in January.

With Bracy's rebounding help, and some bullseye shooting from the whole Wildcat squad, York managed to hang in the ball- game for one quarter. The 'Cats trailed by onlv 20-19 after the first 8:00.

(Staff Photo) Trcrip Press Rattles Rams Smith's Rangers Run Over Kennebunk KENNEBUNK-Traip Academy's basketball Rangers kept alive their Western Maine Class tourney dreams last night on enemy ground here when they stormed past befuddled Kennebunk 80-51. Coach Leo Smith and the Rangers were faced with a door-die situation, ar.d they came through on (he basis of a rigid full court press that has become the trademark of the Kittery- based squad. While the Rams were busy attempting to break the harassment tactics, the Rangers were running wi'd on offense-- particularly in the opening quarter.

Traip roared off the starting line with 27 first-quarter points. Kennebunk could score only 16, and the Hangers had built an early and secure lead. In ihe second period the Traip defenders turned even nastier, and held Kennebunk to a slim nine points. By halitime the Rangers were sitting pretty, leading 46-25. The victory meant the Rangers won the title of the Southern York County League for (he fourth year in a row.

The kiftery team's offense was balanced, and four men hit for double figures.
