1. 4 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mdford, Oregon, Sunday, April 27, 1958 Haunting Whistle Will Be No More Buffalo, N.Y. (C No more more will that haunting train whistle in the night be heard on the Pennsylvania Rail road's northern regional lines. Beginning Dec. 1, all of the Pennsy's trains in the region were powered by diesel en gines. Some 300 diesels took over the chores which once required approximately 800 steam locomotives. Since World War II steam has been disappearing gradu ally from the Pennsylvania's rails. Arrival of new diesels, end of the lake season and "the downward trend in business brought complete dieseliza tion of the region months ahead of schedule.

Zoo Hopeful of Emu Hatching Memphis HP) The Mem phis Zoo Is hoping for Its first hatching of an emu, a beauti ful flightless relative of the ostrich. Zoo Director Raymond Gray said the eggs are usually laid at night, to be found by attendants the next morning by which time they are chill ed or frozen. Last year, two eggs failed to hatch, one be ing too soft and the other too hard. "I was making my usual tour of the zoo before going home when the emu caught my attention," Gray said "The bird was standing rather stiffly upright, mouth open, and seemed to be concentra ting. As I watched, she laid this beautiful egg." Gray said the egg is about five inches long. . IX s greener than grass, not a .pastel, but almost a moss green. It is a perfect egg. not too hard, and not too soft. It is unlike a chicken egg in that it is elliptical, not bigger at one end than the other.". The egg Is being carefully turned in a warm storage room at the zoo and will soon be put into an incubator. "If we hit the humidity right, it is quite possible the egg will hatch," Gray said. Gray said the incubator is a must. The zoo's peafowl, which are allowed to run loose, have a habit of laying eggs along the edges of side walks. Zoo attendants keep a sharp watch when making their rounds and any eggs found are turned over to the incubation department. "Occassionally, we miss one, ne said, "and some times the mother peafowl manages to hatch the egg her self. We always take the young ones and put them in a wire cage. Even if it is fully feathered, a baby pea fowl left to roam around on the ground will get wet and die."
