Of animal, probably = weasel, got
after the drake.
He had become quite handsome
for a duck, and seemed to realize
the fact with all his strutting wad-
dies. But he was gravely hurt, for
the feathers we're torn from the back
of his neck and one of his wings was
almost completely pulled of. We
were practically positive he would
die, but we kept up hope. I put him
in small pen with plenty Of food
ana water nearby. For days, ne
seemed hardly to move; however,
fate relented, for he, recovered.
One afternoon when I came home
from school, almost q month later,
I saw feathers scattered around the
yard. I learned that the same
animal had again molested him and
this time had succeeded.
Since the female was now alone,
we gave her to friend who had
some ducks. 1t hurt me to part with
her because she was my pet and had
an original personality.
Our ducks never had names; we
always called them-just ducks.

BY Philip H. Love.

When Cheryl Smith attended 4
Navy Band concert in the Pan
American Union, she fell In love
with the harp. At the close of the
concert, she begged her mother, Mrs.
Jewell B. Smith, to take her UP
front for . closer look at the in
strument.
She stared In silence for few
moments, then asked the harpist,
William Truesdale Cameron, May

would you give me lessons'"
she wanted to know.
How old are you?" the musician
countered.
"Six-going on seven"
you're too young to take lessons.
Wait until you're about II or H."
That was in July, 1S47. Cherry
or Cherie, as her mother calls her
began an immediate campaign for
harp lessons as gift for her 7th
birthday. Finally, her mother was
persuaded to telephone Mr.. Cam
eron and ask him to reconsider.
"He explained that the harp is
a very difficult instrument" Mrs.
Smith recalled the other day. when
he realized how earnest Cherie was
about it, however, he agreed to let
her try his small harp, just to con-
vince her that she was too young
to take lessons. But 1t was Cherie
who did the convincing; Mr.. Cam
eron accepted her as = pupil-and
lent her the harp, besides"
When Cherie was only 1, she be-
gan picking out on her mothers
piano tunes which she heard on
the radio. Now she is studying
piano at villa Maria Academy of
Music, West Falls Church, Va.
Mrs. Smith, . dancer as well as
a pianist, began giving her daugh-
ter dancing lessons about two and
half years ago. Later, Cherie
attended classes conducted by
Marion Venable.
But Cherie prefers the harp to
the piano or the dance. She has
advanced as far as possible with
the small harp, MIR. Cameron told
her mother recently, and now she
wants a full-sized one. The least
expensive one her mother has been
able to find so far, however, was
priced at $500.

WASHINGTON, -(P)-Russia short on fats and oils, is going after whales in big Way-and getting them too.
 Soviet whaling fleets are haul ing home the blubber as never before, the commerce department reported today.
 The Russian government gives the fleets goals" to work on. and it's steadily raising sights" from year to year, the report said
 The whaling fleet headed home for Odessa in late May with plaudits from the Russian press for fulfilling its assignment to catch 800 whales with 10000 met ric tins of whale oil.
 The fleet had been whale hunt ing in Antarctic waters since last October, carrying with it a float ing factory capable of processing IS large whales day.
 The Soviet is equally interested in whaling in the Pacific, and readied its Pacific flotilla for the start of it's season about the time the other started home.
 The Russians were reported to have killed over 600 whales in the Pacific in the 1947 season, and the Soviets figure their Pacific waters now Justify goal of I5O0 whales a season." the report said.
 Whaling, which Americans had abandoned years ago, was taken up by the Soviets in 1882, when they bagged only P whales.

 Resolutions adopted at the Mt. Mckinley convention condemned the policies of Gov.

 The resolution criticizing Gruen- ing expressed disapproval of "his conduct of office under narrow partisan attitudes by which he has vilified the elected represen- tatives of the people of Alaska and public misrepresented, through employment of federal funds, the actual political and economic situ- ations prevailing in Alaska"
 Another resolution voiced dis approval of attempts by Delegate E. l.. Bartlett to block passage of legislation that would enable Al askans to elect their own gover- nor in 1850.
