Ninth Attempt
Driver Lack
>CunceIsT

The District Chapter of the
American Red Cross appealed
today for volunteers to allevi-
ate the critical shortage of
Motor Service drivers.
Chapter officials said the
shortage forced cancellation
yesterday of trips involving
some 500 Ill and crippled chill
dren and adults.
All trips except first aid de-
tails and transportation of
blood donors have been can
celed until more drivers are
obtained. About Is to 40 are
needed.
Mrs. Edward Moore, Motor
Service chairman, said trips
Cancelled yesterday included
transportation of more than
100 st. Elizabeths patients and
40 children from the Swartzell
Methodist Home to the Shrine
Circus.
Any driver who can spare a
few hours for volunteer work
is urged to contact the Motor
Service at 2025 E street NV,

that cygnets young swans
born in captivity rarely survive.
Once, according to Lee Elsen,
who bought the pair. 10 years
ago, Olga sat on some eggs
which were not fertile, and had
to be carried from the nest
before she starved.
Early today, Mr.. Elsen said,
Olga began to hiss as If she
were surrounded by mustachi-
oed villains. Fearing that the
long vigil had made her i'll,
he ordered her lifted gently
from the nest, and there were
five downy cygnets and one
bright green egg.
The little swans are much
to young to swim and, in fact,
might catch cold if exposed to
water this early in life. Instead
Iof the bold kissing Of their
parents, the only noise they
are capable of making is a
feeble peeping, which they
keep up continuously as they
stumble around the nest.
Not the handsome, sheltered
nest Mr.. Elsen had built for
Olga, of course, but a make
shift one, right in front of the
Office in everybody's way.

DUCK SULKS IN THE HEDGE
Swan Wins Baby Derby

Extremely unhappy about the
whole thing is Hilda, a duck
who ought to know better.
She built her nest in a hedge,
Just a few feet from where the
cygnets were born, doubtless in
an effort to snare the attention
of people as they enter and
leave the. Office.
Olga Wins
But Olga beat her to the
hatch and she hasn't been the
same since.
Hilda watched a party of
men with drag lines head down
for the lake to clear the water
of turtles, so the little swans
might take their maiden swims
in safety. She held her peace.
Then she watched in stony
silence while the Office girls
came out to admire the cygnetS.
But when a party of children
came out earlier today and be-
gan chattering as if the little
swans were some sort of mir
acle, it was just too much.
The quacking in the hedge
hasn't stopped yet.
