WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1963) Seven 'Swell Kids' in Spite Of Mallard's Broken Home They never knew their father. He left a long time before they were born. They didn't even live with their mother very long, not long enough to learn some of the things she could have taught them. They could truthfully be said to have come from a "broken home." They were very young when circumstances forced them out on their own, yet there wasn't a juvenile de linquent in the entire family of seven youngsters. These children, seven baby mallard ducks, were hatched in a nest located nearly a mile from the nearest pond. Just why Mrs. Mallard built her nest so far inland is a mystery, but her husband may have been the cause. He had been born in the vicinity, so he wanted to locate there. Too bad Mrs. Mallard listened to him for he deserted her and the potential family short ly after the eggs were laid. For nearly a month, the drab-colored female incubated the eggs with no help from her husband. It wasn't that she expected any help, but he could have dropped by once or twice to see how things were coming and to acknowledge the fact that lie had had a little something to do with this family. Some Excuse Of course, to his credit, let for as the summer progressed he lost his flight feathers as FINE FOOD ContintnUl Atmosphera FEATURING PRIME RIB (Au Jus) STEAKS CHICKEN SEA FOOD NEW LIVE MUSIC "The Tempests" Saturday Niahti 3k J Open at 4 P.M.

He might have been a little ashamed at such a time, for before he had been a pretty flashy dresser. So he hid himself until the feathers grew in again in the wings. By hiding and looking so drab, he escaped being so easily seen by enemies. He didn't know or care when the eggs hatched or when his fluffy, flat-footed offspring were ready to leave the nest. He didn't know, either, that each baby duck had a sharp, hard horn on the upper mandible of its bill called an egghorn that made the first break in the hard shell. After that, by stretching his wings, legs, and body the baby split open the shell and, wet and weak, floundered around in the feathers of the nest. All seven baby ducks hatched within an hour; then, for the first time, they heard their mother "speak." Female Talk Ioor little things, they didn't know that mother's voice was louder and harsher than their father's would have been, for it's the female mallard that does the "talk ing." She speaks in a husky voice - more of a croak than a quack. Mr. Mallard has all the beauty plus the soft voice. It's Mrs. Mallard that suf fers from an inferiority com plex, possibly because she has to always wear such a drab, brown dress, while her husband dresses flashily. She may even be a little jealous of his stylish and beautiful clothes. But on this day, the time of the birth of the family, Mrs. Mallard forgot every thing except the necessity of getting her youngsters to the nearest water. The lake was a mile away, a very long way for seven newly hatched ducklings. The young s t e r s didn't know where they were going, or why. But like well behaved children, they fol lowed where mother led them. Peculiar that such creatures should be so obedient and so everlastingly good, inasmuch as they did come from a "broken home."
