Show The Enterprise Review , July 7, 1976 Page 7b Wild Birds I Have Known bob. bird is best known for its characteristic of flying around in circles and never taking a stand on anything. When threatened, the Bureaubob takes refuge in the Halls of Congress where it believes other birds should be held responsible for unpopular decisions. Care should be taken not to confuse the Middle Level Bureaubob with his close cousin the Upper Level Bureaubob. Distinction between the two birds is made more difficult because many Middle Level Bobs attempt to impersonate Upper Level Bobs. They do this by strutting in what they believe to be the Upper Level manner and by frequently calling the names of well known Double Throated Politicos who it is believed have some mystical ability to create Upper Level Bobs. The trained eye, however, can differentiate between the two kinds of Bobs very easily. First, the Middle Level Bob is unwilling to go very far out on the limb. He will stay close to the center of things and almost never fly unless accompanied by a large number of other birds. On the other hand, the Upper Level Bob enjoys solar flight but only if he is guaranteed a safe landing. He actively seeks the company of birds more plumed than he and sings loudly the anthem of all Bobs Spreading Wings and by D. VanDeGraaff Occasionally it is pleasant to get away from it all. True, I enjoy what is often called the rat race, but sometimes I like to quit worrying about headlines and return to simpler pleasures. Who cares about Charles Finley and a players strike when he can enjoy a mountain stream? When lying on shady grass why spoil it with thoughts about how many of whose delegates are going to show up at the Republican Convention or who Jimmy Carter might pick for Vice President. During a recent return to nature, I tried my hand as an amateur ornithologist. I was delighted at my ability to identify several varieties of birds. First, there "was the Double Throated Politico. This bird has the uncanny ability to' sing a completely different tune depending on how far from home he happens to be. When nestled securely in his native region, the song has a calm medodious saavit, saavit, saavit, The further from home he travels the more shrill his calls become and the more they sound like, spenndit, spenndit, spenndit. Then there is the Middle Level Bureau- - Organization Formed to Battle Discrimination Women or men who are victims of illegal sex discrimination may find financial support from the newly the money will come from individual women. She said the group has not yet determined if the financial support to discrimination victims would be in the form of a loan or a grant. We believe that funding these suits is one of the ways to try to eliminate illegal sex discrimination, Fisher said. The group has indicated a particular interest in funding cases that would be precedent-setting, she continued. Since there have already been a number of suits filed in the area of employment, we would probably be more interested in those involving credit, she formed Equal Rights Legal Fund, Inc.

Pli. I). am'ii Vinri. I auifibrin rivh ilrvvr The stock market moved in a narrow range last week, hovering within a few points of 1000 on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. However, a few of the flamour stocks like Polaroid, Xerox and National Semiconductor put on strong moves forcing a number of the summer expiring options in these stocks to double in price. Even though the market has been relatively strong in the last two weeks, option premiums, above intrinsic value, continued to be low. This is more characteristic of market lows than market highs, and supports bulls who insist that the market has a lot further to go this summer. However, option premiums are low for reasons like Mutual Funds continue to be net sellers. Last month these funds were net sellers by $367 million. That kind of selling supports bears who think the market is headed lower. My own feeling is that a downward correction is still more probably than an upward surge; and therefore, I continue to recommend covered option writing and bear spreads of limited risk. Below are two bear spreads that are attractive at this time. Risk is $18 plus commissions.

This bird has either a two or four year hibernation cycle, during which time he has been known to drop completely from sight only to return more flamboyant than before. The Campaign Pecker spends its energies pecking holes in the foundations of the Politico Birds nest and in shrieking at the Bureaubobs. Occasionally the Campaign Pecker drives a Politico Bird from his nest. The Pecker then moves into the nest and begins a close association with his former antagonist Bobs. One other bird deserves mention. It is the Open Mouth Eco Harper. Much could be reported on the strange behavior of this bird, but its most unusual trait is that once he has built his own nest in the forest he believes no other bird should be allowed to build. Often the Eco Harper will enlist Bureau-bob- s in an effort to exclude other birds from the forest. This strange alliance is most effective on those occasions when the Politico Birds are far from home and not under attack by Campaign Peckers. Ornithology is a relaxing pastime and certainly it is good to occasionally get away from the problems of todays world.
