PARKING FOR LOVE OF A DUCK DINNER

NEW ORLEANS, (P)-Now it can be told-now that meat ra- tioning's over.
 Superintendent George Doug lass of Audubon Park revealed the methods meat-hungry New Orleanians used to lure 250 ducks from the parks ornamental lagoon during the period meat was ra- toned.
 A car would be parked in the shadows of the live oaks, the door left open, a trail of bread strewn to the bank
 Before the park Watchman hal completed a round a duck would have accepted the invitation, the car door would have slammed and another Muscovy or Pekin would be on his way to the skillet.
 Selective as all New Orleanians are in matters of food. the duck nappers picked these tastiest breeds, Douglass said.
 Even though rationing ended, he banded the remaining 500 ducks.

Usually, we try to look at the
brighter side of things, and when
we comment on local events we
might even sometimes embelIish-
just little-to make them seem
even brighter. It's surprising how
many nice things happen in Smyr-
ma, when you look around for
them, but it's even more surprising
to scrape underneath the surface
to see how much nicer they could
have been-if someone had just
thought of it. That's why we have
written the following:
Open Letter to the Lions Club
Dear Lions:
1t is my belief that the Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, Brownies and
Cub Scouts are wonderful organi-
cations. The whole town is proud
that they have made such wonder
full gains in the past year. This
week you made public an almost
revolutionary plan to erect a build
ing to house Scout activities.
That's swell-as far as it goes.
But it doesn't go very far.
Let's start at the beginning.
This Spring you-the Lions-spon-
sored a contest among high school
students to determine what this
community needed in the way of
improvements. Did you really read
the entries? If so, it doesn't seem
likely that the one point which was
repeated and re-repeated in each
one of them could have been over
looked. That point was recreation.
Stop to consider that Scouting in
cludes only those in the approxim-
ate 7-16 age group. What happens
after that? With the exception of
three short summer months, when
Lake Como is open, the town is al
most completely devoid of any
form of recreational activity. Sew
eral efforts have been made recent
ly to alleviate the condition with
out much success. The Smyrna
Athletic Association has an admir-
able program, but lack of sup
