C. C. C. Camps Aid Local Organizations In Wildlife Feeding Special Orders Issued As Snow and Cold Increase Hazards Civilian Conservation Corps camps In the Washington area and throughout the country stood ready today to assist wildlife conservation organizations in aiding birds and game to survive the present cold wave and deep snow. Special instructions were for warded yesterday by James J. Mc Entee, acting director of the C. C. C., to Fred Morrell, Agriculture Depart ment representative on the C. C. C. Advisory Council, and Conrad L. Wirth, Interior Department repre sentative, ' to instruct camp com manders and project superintend ents to provide added assistance to local organizations in caring for wild birds and game. Mr. McEntee acted after consulta tion with officials of the National Wildlife Federation. Part of Regular Program. Aiding wildlife is a part of the regular program of the C. C. C. During the 1939 fiscal year, the C. C. C. built 20,798 crude wildlife shelters and spent 15,601 man days in wildlife-feeding. The severity of the current weath er in some areas, however, made issuance of special orders advisable, Mr. McEntee said yesterday. Only once before, in 1936, were such orders issued, it was learned. It was pointed out that the C. C. C. could not inaugurate a feeding pro gram of its own on any scale be cause no funds are provided. Or ganizations wishing to provide food, however, may enlist the aid of en rollees in distributing it. Weather Conditions Critical. NEW YORK.—HALF A MIL LION DOLLARS’ WORTH OF DIAMONDS—Society staged its diamond ball in the early hours yesterday and Mrs. Adolph Spreckels of San Francisco came to the affair in the spirit of the thing. A half million dollars was the valuation put on the diamond necklace and turban clip she wore, along with four black orchids on her shoulder. —A. P. Wirephoto. Insurance Rate to Rise If Mercury Doesn't By the Associated Press. CURWENSVILLE, Pa., Jan. 27.— Insurance rates will go up if the temperature stays down—unless frozen water mains supplying this j Central Pennsylvania community j are thawed. ! Insurance underwriters warned Borough Council rates would be boosted unless the lines are thawed by Monday. Engineers advised councitmen seven men have thawed 700 of the 2,500 feet estimated to be frozen but that, unless the weather moderates, it will take two weeks to complete the job. _ \ Florida Traiterites Cold TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 27 (JP).—Many trailerites, caught unprepared by Flordia’s worst cold spell in years, had to rustle up some form of heater. Some found that a sun ray lamp, placed in a 10-quart tin can punched full of holes makes a right work able miniature stove. xiiai tuuuiv ntai;uv.i wuuiuvtio are critical for wild birds and game was indicated yesterday in a state ment from W. C. Henderson, acting chief of the Biological Survey, “Present conditions create a prob lem especially for upland game birds and migratory waterfowl,” Mr. Hen derson said. “The lack of natural protective cover and the scarcity of food may subject wild life, especially birds, to starvation' and freezing, or weaken them so that they fall prey to predatory animals and disease.” “In the present emergency almost any kind of feeding will help,” Mr. Henderson said. "Wheat, corn, oats and other grains are perhaps the most desirable foods. Most mills will gladly donate screenings, which also is a very satisfactory food. Loose grains shoud not be scattered on soft enow, as that is both wasteful and ineffetive. Instead, it should be placed on patches that are clear of snow and near trees, shrubbery, fallen logs and other natural wind breaks.” Wisconsin Law Voided MILWAUKEE, Jan. 27 (A>).-^Cir euit Judge Gustave Gehrz today declared unconstitutional a law, en acted by the 1939 session of the legislature, restricting the issuance and redemption of trading stamps. Judge Gehrz declared that the law was an effort at price fixing con trary to provisions of the State Fair Trade Act and the Anti-Trust Monopoly Act.
