Migratory Birds
Fall Stunned On
Big City Streets
NEW YORK, Sept. 11, (UP)
A huge flight of migratory birds,
flying over Manhattan, was fell-
ed mysteriously today and for
hours the bodies of the dead
and injured "literally rained"
down into the streets surround-
ing the Empire State building.
Police theorized they apparent-
ly crashed into the tower of the
building, the world's tallest sky-
scraper, in the darkness.
Hundreds of I Kitties were pick-
ed up, most of them on Fifth
Ave., by department of sanita-
tion workers and officials of the
American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals.
Hundreds more rained down
onto the parapets of the build-
ing. But police said most of
them were only stunned and
revived a few minutes later.
The police said the birds lie-
gan falling about midnight. The
"shower" continued for more
than four hours.
There were six or seven dif-
ferent species of birds among
the bodies found in the streets.
An ornithologist at the Bronx
Zoo, given a description of the
birds, said they probably were
hermit thrushes and Maryland
warblers which usually migrate
from Canada about this time of
year.

Immense Grain Crop
In Sight For U.S.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, —
(LP)— The Agriculture Depart-
ment has nudged higher its
previous estimates of this year's
huge corn and wheat crops.
The corn forecast was raised
from 3,506,363,000 to 3,528,815,-
000 bushels. It will be the larg-
est corn crop on record.
1,284,995,000 bushel wheat har-
vest was predicted, compared
with 1,284,323,000 estimated last
month. The wheat crop is tht?
second largest in history, ex-
ceeded only by the 1,364,919,000
bushel harvest last year. The
change in the wheat forecast
was based on a revised estimate
for spring wheat.
Local Group Lays
Plans For Cerebral
Palsy Assistance
An effort Is being made to or-
ganize a parents club of those
who have cerebral palsy children
in Nolan county. The purpose
of the club would be to exchange
experiences and helpful infor-
mation for the welfare of these
children.
Those interested are urged to
contact Mrs. G. C. Sloan, 601
West Broadway, Sweetwater.
Mrs. Sloan explains something
about cerebral palsy: "Cerebral
palsy is a term which has been
used to connotate a group of con-
ditions which are very different
from each other and consequent-
ly the tretment of them re-
quires totally different tech-
niques and forms ol treatment. A
single form of treatment for
cerebral palsy as a whole cannot
be found. The most important
thing to remember is that with
cerebral palsy the damage is to
the brain cells connected with
phyical motion, not necessarily
with mental function.
"There are five general groups
of cerebral palsy. These are:
Spasticity, athetosis, ataxia, rig-
idity and tremor. Cerebral pal-
sy is caused from injury, either
before, during or after birth.
"Cerebral palsy was selected as
a term years ago, because it
seemed to describe this particu-
lar group of conditions the best,
cerebral meaning anything with-
in the head, and palsy, technical-
ly is a term used to describe any-
thing which is wrong with the
control of the muscles or joints."

tion for the Friday night game,
