DUCKS DISLIKE AERoPLANEs
[By Associated Press1

KEEL, Germany. 4 Ornithologists
have discovered that the wild duck
does not like the deroplane, apparently
taking it for s9Ife huge bird of prey.
From the North Sea coast of
Schleswig- Holstein it is reported that
the great flecks of ducks, which in
previous years stopped for rest and
food on the coastal sands and islands
on their flight from the far north to
the south, have avoided that region
this year. The explanation offered is
that they were frightened away by the
many aeroplanes that are constantly
scouting along the coast
