All tired out after winging it's way to St. Ann's Hospital l26 times during the past twelve months, Ju- neau's l940 stork has gone into retirement. turning over its past duties to the 194l bird.
 And he's not the only one that's tired-for Sister Mary Edwards, chief keeper of the nursery is declaring a "blackout' at the local hospital, with the hopes that this years bird will just fly on by for the. next few days, or at least un- til one of the little pink and blue baskets has been vacated.
 During 1940, there were 63 male badies delivered and 63 female cherubs-so neither sex should feel sighted. Last month, the local dia- per carrier outdid himself, making 19 stops at the institution. And according to hospital attendants that was the biggest baby month to date.
 In brief interview with the old bird it is understood that "the first hundred kids weren't so bad but it was the last 26 trips that really got him"
