Jane Welliver, eleven years old, knows more about the wonders of nature than most children who have two eyes. She has never seen the blue of the sky or the lift of a cloud, but with gentle fingers she explores the soft interior of an oriole’s nest, finds a delicate feather in its depths, forms a mental image of the baby birds who have hatched in that secure and swaying woven. basket, and sets in motion the Hi-Fi record which reproduces for her the song of the oriole. Janie does not live in Dallas, but she visits here sometimes, coming with her parents from Allentown to Elmcrest. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Welliver, and niece of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Myers. Mr. and Mrs. George Bowen, also of Elmcrest, are firm friends. And mow Janie is dreaming of meeting Frank Jackson. Next time she comes, she will go to Harveys Lake to inspect Frank's bird feeders and birdhouses, and see the rest of his nest collection. Frank, sharing with Mr. Bowen a love of birds, heard that Janie was interested in collecting birds nests. Frank sent Janie a treasured hum- ming-bird nest, an extremely rare item, seldom seen except in muse- ums, and a number of other nests. Bill Brace, out in Kunkle, found her three barn swallow nests and climbed high into a maple tree for an oriole nest. the Science Fair, competing with. ex- hibits prepared by children with two good eyes apiece, and wins prizes. Mr. saving as a surprise for her, to add | to her collection mext time she ex- hibits it . . . a red-eyed vireo nest. Frank brought into the Dallas Post a mate to a chimney swift's nest which he had sent Janie. Prodding it gently with his finger, he pointed out the drops of gum from peach trees which had been used to glue the tiny twigs together. This one came down the chimney after a heavy storm, landing in the fire- place of the Miller summer home just below Mr. Jackson's place at Harveys Lake. The first nest brought with it a young cowbird, which Mrs. Miller caught in a towel and took out- doors. The second, which Frank kept after sending the first, care- fully protected in a candy box, to Janie, was completely untenanted. Since that time, the Miller chim- ney has been protected by fine wire screening. No more chimney swifts flutter their wings in its sooty depths. Janie has a catbird nest; a nest built by a redwing blackbird; nests of cardinals, chipping sparrows, wrens, wood-thrush, phoebe. The catbird nest has an unusual feature . woven into it is a nylon leader, complete with fish-hook. \ The fish-hook, though totally co- incidental, is by way of being an advertisement for Janie. Janie is an expert angler, casting a trout fly with skill and precision.

Be ye she caught four large trout the first day, and made news in an Allentown newspaper. Janie wrote a letter in braille to Jackson, to thank him for his ten bird nests.

I enjoy my nest and egg collec- tion, and spend many hours looking at Ht. Your friend, Jane Welliver.” Because braille is difficult to read, except to-an expert, Janie is learn- ing how to type. She enjoys the Slike books issued by the Blind Association, and she - follows the score of musical compositions in braille, learning the music first with the left hénd, then with the right, and finally abandon- ing the score with its tiny dots as she memorizes it for the piano. Janie's handicap proved the open door to many children in the Allen- town area, for it was irr her behalf that the first class for physically handicapped children was started. There are some things that par- ents of blind children learn by ex- perience. Furniture must not be moved un- less the child knows what changes are being contemplated, well in advance. And people without eyesight, rely- ing upon sound and touch for their directions, must wear shoes which will make the necessary echo. So | sneakers are not for Janie, or for any other little girl who must gauge distance by echo, the way 'experi- enced pilets on Puget Sound navi- gate their boats by blowing the stream . is reserved for Janie and whistle and letting the sound REXALL Sheer 7 Lear | ERE The safe, sure way to help prevent vitamin deficiency ‘is to take REXALL SUPER PLENAMINS.

Later, however, the commanding officer came upon this same Ozarkian, lolling comfortably against a #ree in his stocking feet, enjoying life and apparently resting in the man- ner of the hills.
