Five teal ducks will never aifaln send a greeting call from across marshy water to their mates. And all because Ben Birt of Parkdale changed his mind last Wednesday morning. Mr. Birt, an enthusias- tic gunner, had made full prepar- ailOn the previous evening for a good day's duck shooting on Wed- nesday. His gun was well oiled. he had plenty of shells. and the alarm clock was set for an early hour. It had to be set for an early hour because Mr. Birt was going a long distance from home to bag his quarry. However. as has happened with so many duck shooters in the past and will like- 1y happen to many more in the future. Mr. pirt was not so en- thusiastic for the long jaunt when the ciock’s strident peels woke him from his restful slusnber. A . short distance from his home there ls a small pond. "Who knows,“ thought Ml‘. Birt, yield- lns to the ternpter, “but what these might be some ducks in that pond?
