68 TELEPHONE TEDDY 



Teddy Ross probably is the smallest and 

 smartest of President Theodore Roosevelt's 

 many namesakes. If Teddy could telephone to 

 the White House, I think he would say in bird 

 fashion, "Hello, Mr. President ! This is Teddy 

 Ross of Churchville, New York. Please, Mr. 

 President, won't you always be very kind to 

 my dear out-door friends everywhere, especially 

 the birds, the rabbits, and the bears?"
