She avoids the bridge lest one of her offspring might fall. Take one proud mother Mallard duck -- add twelve cuddly, day-old "youngsters" and an interested human benefactor and you have heartwarming story. This one had its start under shrubbery beneath the window at the M.L. ward home, 805 N. Allen avenue, whire Mama Duck set up her long vigil, sitting upon thirteen eggs. She remained calm during the presence of the family as they went about their yard work. However, after twelve of the eggs hatched, the presence of man, along with the raucous sound of the lawn mower, prompted her to leave the nest and its remaining one egg. A day later, at her persistent urging, the long journey to water started -- with the assistance of the man who had befriended her during the "making of a fttmily". V The journey ends .... and in typical duck-like fashion -- they "take to the water". 1 Lakemoor-Lilymoor Alma Hueckstaedt 385-5689 Need Volunteers To Form Program For Teen Dances The Ladies League has agreed to sponsor teen dances for Lilymoor and Lakemoor young people.

IN CLOSING Just a reminder to any adult who has time and an interest in seeing the teen dances get under way be sure to give me a call as soon as possible. Frightened? "Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you what you aie," said a lunch counter philoso­ pher. Whereupon a meek little man, sitting a few stools away, called to the waitress: "Cancel my order for shrimp salad, please." Life is a lot like Christmas- we usually come nearer getting what we need, than what we want.
