Pen Mar Park Caretaker
Saves Covies of Partridges

Waynesboro, Pa, March 7.-Wil-
liam Hahn. the former caretaker of
Pen Mar Park, is gratified with the
result of his partridge and
mothering experiment. Mr.. Hahn
gave asylum to three covies of quail
that came to his barndoor near the
Blue Mountain House early in the
snow season. There was a total of
forty eight birds in the original col
ony 1t was Mr.. Hahn's effort and
special care to keep the birds at the
barn so that they might at all times
be assured of forage and shelter, but
despite his vigilance, many of the
birds, with the lure of the wild in
them, persisted in straying away and
taking chances in the hills and
thickets. OF these prodigals but few
returned, as one blizzard followed
another so fast that the Bob Whites
lost their bearings and perished un-
der the snow.

Good Crops Looked For in
South Mountain Orchards

Waynesboro, Pa, March Peach
growers in this section generally are
now taking a more rosy view of the
peach situation, and it looks as if
they will have about a twenty-five
per cent. crop. Some of the higher
orchards may fare even better. The
height above the 200-foot level does
not seem to make any material diff
ference this year but air drainage
is all important. Wherever orchards
are located in hollows or pockets
the buds have all been killed. Where
they are on hills, with lower lano
surrounding them, many of the buds
escaped.
Aaron Newcomer, at Midvale and
Pen Mar, probably the largest grow
er of this section, now expects n
twenty-five per cent. crop, and S. B.
Loose, who has large orchards at
Edsemont. is likewise. expecting
about twenty-five per cent. crop.
Lancelot Jacques, of the Lookout
Mountain Orchards Co., expects a
larger crop. John A. Johnston, near
Pen Mar, says his buds are not af-
fected and he will have a full crop.

 As daylight broke. a fleet of enemy airplanes swooped down, but was beaten off by a smaller fleet of Italian planes. three enemy machines falling into the water during the aerial battle.
 No word has since been heard of Commander Pellegrini and his party. Their signal was definite that a ship had been hit and aerial photographs are expected soon to confirm their message. There is every reason to believe that the four men are pris- Oners. In any event the army and the country greet the fearless band as heroes who have reflected lasting glory on the skill and daring of Italian navy
