Show Rare Bird Colony On Tour Agenda Although some four million tourists visit Florida each winter, win-ter, only a minute fraction of these vacationers are fortunate enough to witness one of the greatest natural shows the Sunshine Sun-shine State produces. This spectacle spec-tacle a breeding colony of several hundred brilliant pink roseate spoonbills is staged on two or three tiny mangrove keys in Florida Bay, far off the usual beaten tourist track. A special boat trip to this colony col-ony is included as part of the Audubon Wildlife Tours, and persons "in the know" about the rare flame colored birds journey from far countries, as well as from all parts of this continent, to see this thrilling sight. Although Al-though no one is permitted to land on the keys, Audubon Tour boats approach within a hundred hun-dred feet of the colony, and the visitors have an opportunity to enjoy a close up view of their unbelievable beauty and watch their droll antics. It is only due to the strict protection pro-tection these birds have received in the past two decades that they still breed in this remote area. Earlier in the century they were wantonly slaughtered, both for their exquisite plumage and the tasty flesh of the young birds. At that time, thoughtful citizens citi-zens organized National Audubon Audu-bon Society in order to seek legal action to end the killing of these, and other magnificent sub tropical birds. Protective laws were enacted and for many years Audubon wardens have patrolled the breeding grounds, assuring them an unmolested area in which to raise their young. Before the establishment of the Everglades National Park, all their breeding keys in Florida Flor-ida Bay were under sanctuary lease to the National Audubon Society. With the advent of the park, the keys north of the Infracostal In-fracostal Waterways were included in-cluded in the Park boundaries, but the breeding areas not included in-cluded within these boundaries still remained under lease to the Society so that the whole region continues under full protection. Audubon Wildlife Tourists who have the good fortune to visit this site not only have the rare opportunity to see one of the world's most glamorous birds in its natural environment, but to learn at first hand how wise conservation con-servation actions have assured its continuation as a beautiful native of Florida. ground music, altering the environment en-vironment for millions, has become be-come a commonplace quickly. It caught on during World War II as a means of boosting production produc-tion and morale, and has been enjoying a period of extremely rapid second growth in the last four years. Every year more and more people spend their working days I or nights in a gentle spray of this mistlike music, and this lyric state of affairs extends into new corners of everyday life. He relates that it is found in the mighty plans of General Motors, Mo-tors, General Foods and General Mills, but also at J. W. Staley's filling station in - San Angelo, Texas, where the owner says it dispels driveway impatience. Background Music Forging Ahead Background music can keep you from getting tired, or put you in a spending mood, says a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Eve-ning Post. As a result there's a multimil-lion multimil-lion dollar plot afoot to make you happy even when you'd prefer pre-fer not to be. Muzak Corporation is by far the largest practitioner of this mood engineering, Robert M. Yoder relates, reaching some 54,000,000 Americans every day and selling $12,000,000 worth of music a year. "The operation employs music of a special kind, applied so as to steal into the mind almost unrecognized into the whole body, perhaps and considerable success is claimed in changing what people do and say and presumably pre-sumably what they think," Mr. , Yoder writes.
