Hen In Hand "A bird in hand is worth 10 in the bush" is what Jeff Lamparter, 15, of 6060 W. Textile Rd., Lodi Township, seems to be thinking as he holds a Houdan chicken in his hand. The hen is one of 15 fancy chickens Jeff will exhibit at the Washtenaw County 4-H Show at the Rural Activities Center on Saline-Ann Arbor R., today through Friday. He is a member of the Champion Troopers 4-H Club.

BLAZE KILLS 125 PRIME EGG-LAYERS: Laying hens - 125 of them, valued at $375 - were destroyed this morning when flames leveled a large chickenhouse on the Kingsley farm, three and a half miles south of South Lyon on the Dixboro Rd. Prompt action by South Lyon firemen saved adjacent buildings from the wind-fanned blaze. Origin of the fire was not determined, but defective wiring was thought to have been a possible cause.

GLASS POULTRY HOUSE: This glass block poultry house on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pryce on Huron River Dr., five miles east of Ann Arbor, represents a development in the construction of chicken homes with an eye to increasing egg production. The lights are turned on at 5 a.m., and the glass walls admit most of the natural light during the day without being transparent. The Pryce's 200 White Leghorns have jumped their production from two dozen eggs a day to six dozen in three weeks in their new home.
