PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY I I_____ WREN COMES HOME: Dr. Sutton Fin Solves_111-Yea By BOB BYERLY Science has done pretty well with atoms, but it took a disgrace- fully-long time to catch up with the nesting habits of Gould's White-Bellied Wren of Mexico. Dr. George Miksch Sutton of the Museums, nationally-known bird artist and ornithologist, gets credit for solving a 111-year-old puzzle, and it took him nine years to do it. The discovery is one more feather in the capful listed under his name in Who's Who. Dr. Sutton and many other or- nithologists tore their hair for years over the fact that Gould's wren could never be caught on- or, it so happens, in-his nest. They found him chirping in a nesting manner and acting very obviously-to ornithologists--like he had a family in the area, but he could never be pinned down to a residence. Most in Mexico Last spring Dr. Sutton and par- ty flew to Mexico with the express idea of solving the mystery. They found a nest that looked new and like it might be what they were looking for-twenty feet up and very convenient to a hornet's nest.- But they met with a sting- ing defeat on this one: no wrens went in. It looked like the trip would be a failure until the day before they were to leave, when from a nest they had been watching out flew the small bird with the white belly. They shot the bird, took down the nest and had another surprise: white-bellies have blue eggs. Nest in Jeep Dr. Sutton took the nest, a re- tort-shaped one made of fine grass and the four small blue eggs for a 126-mile ride in a jeep on the first lap of his trip home. ds Rare Nest, Ir-Old Puzzle Dr. Sutton was impressed with the bird's habit of building their nests close to the protection of a hornet's -nest or an ant hill. "I don't know what kind of an understanding they have," he said, "but they seem to have worked out some sort of agreement." Dr. Sutton brought back some 200 species of birds from Mexico, including buntings, cuckoos, par- rots, mackaws and wood-hewers. A book on the birds of Mexico written by Dr. Sutton, the first of its kind to appear, will be pub- lished in a few months. Dr. Sut- ton has published several books on his expeditions to Labrador, British Columbia, Hudson Bay, the Rio Grande valley and other places and is well known as an il- lustrator of books on birds. UWF Reaches 8,000 in Poll More than 8,000 copies of the' United World Federalist foreign aid resolution have been circulated on campus, George Shepherd, president of the Federalist campus chapter, announced yesterday. "We expect to canvass Willow Village today and announce the final result of the survey drive late in the week," she said. The resolution calls for U.S. aid to Europe with no political restric- tions attached. Student Federalists plan to cir- culiate a petition early in January to sound out opinion on a pro- posed change in the UN charter. The change would increase UN powers, enabling it to enforce peace, Shepherd said. Willow Villag"e Counacil Votes TrafficPlan House Unit Transfer f SystemEstablished f Greater traffic safety is in storeE for Willow Village as a result of the traffic plan which the Willow Village Resident Council drew up at their last meeting. The plan provides for the erec- tion of speed limit signs at danger points within the Village. Speaking on the Village man- agements' policy regarding trans- fers within the village, Ken C.a Cavanaugh, manager of the proj-. ect, said that a system has beenr set up whereby units are to be as-s signed according to the size of the5 family. Transfer System If a family is expecting an ad- dition, it can get an immediate transfer to the next larger unit. A certificate of seven months' pregnancy signed by a doctor mustc be submitted with an applicationr for transfer. Priorities on trans-g fers will go to expectant couples. The management policy on floorv repairs will require tenants to con-a tact maintenance for estimates be- fore repairs are made. Lighting Requestsae. Residents should not attempt tos put in their own light bulbs, Cav- anaugh said, but should addressX requests for lights to him. A new system of paint distribu- tion has also been put into effect Cavanaugh announced. Tenants will receive paint and instructionsr on painting from maintenance.
