other duck is a good way to become cross
eyed and perhaps lose ones mindD
If you have a spare hour some Sun
day afternoon, especially if there are
youngsters at your house, you'll find a
visit to the Duck Pond on University
boulevard near Adelphi diverting spec
tacle Bring along few slices of bread or
some other duck delicacy and you'll
find that you've attracted an eager,
jostling, quacking crowd Of web-fOOted
panhandlers in the twinkling of an eye.
On fact, you'll attract crowd even if
you don't bring along any food, but the
disappointed and reprOachful attitude Of
the ducks will make you feel like heel.

swampy, oft-flooded part of Northwest

the Duck Pond was created, will remem-

with water after heavy rains. The Duck
Pond has provided drainage for the area
and relieved the flooding. In winter, it
is used as skating rink.
A shelter has been built for the
ducks to use in bad weather, but they
seem to prefer to stay outside, even in
the coolest weather. Shelled corn and

EOR MANY YEARS. animal lovers
u have been distressed at the sale of
tiny chicks and ducklings as pets for chill
dren. Not that the cunning little crea-
lures aren't appealing enough to delight
any child, but because of childish
thoughtlessnesS and lack of proper
places to care for such pets, the chicks
and ducklings often perish after short
and cruel life.
Most of us give such matters brief,
worried thought, and then turn to more
pressing details of daily life. One person
who Uidn't forget the plight of the duck
lngs is Percy Wolfe, assistant director
of parks of the Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission. Mr..
Wolfe is the father" of small but de-
hghtful park area which began as a
haven for Easter ducklings.
Covering four acres, the Duck
Pond" as it is known to its growing num-
ber of devotees, began with pair of
feathered gifts from little boy and girl
in a nearby apartment. From the original
two ducklings which had OutgrOwn their
Easter-basket home, the Duck Pond is
now home to flock of 800 to 400 web
footed comedians whose quacking and
antics delight children all year round,
instead of just at Easter. Nobody knows
exactly how many ducks the park has.
AS an amusing experiment, the authors
tried to count them, but this came to
nothing. Trying to count large flock of
highly mobile ducks, each swimming,

How TO Core rv.
Mefol Furniture

Metal furniture needs little
care-but a little care goes a
long way, advises Royal Metal
Manufacturing Company, major
producer of commercial metal
furniture.
The company offers the fol-
lowing helpful hints:
!. Quality chrome plating
should be cleaned with soft
cloth dampcned in water. Go
over the chrome with a dry
cloth and even a soft metal
polish. but never use gritty
compounds which might scratch
the surface.
,. Composition table tops
should be coated with wax
once a month. They can best
be washed with alcohol to re-
move dirt and grease.
3. Wash genuine leather up
holstery with a gentle soap
applied with damp rag. Then
go over il with damp cloth
without soap and rub clean
with dry, soft cloth.
4. Vinyl upholstery can be
washed with any soap or de-
tergent which does not contain
alkali or harsh abrasives. Use
the same method as with
genuine leather.

ALL ABOUT GAS
Despite the non-commital OBJ
servations OF most service sta
ton attendants, there is diff
ference in cupboard fuels. This
fact has definitely been proven
and one cupboard firm, Mer-l
curry, has taken a firm stand
on the subject.
If you demand white gasoline
you'll add many hours to the
life of your motor II you settle
for the automotive gasolines
which are now heavily treated
with leads and detergents,
you're just looking for trouble.
This situation applies to any
cupboard, both new and old,
but il is more critical today
because OF the increased amount
of additives which our gasoline
contain. Such fuels are almostI
poison to cupboard motors.
Mercury has had the courage
to specifically recommend white
gas. and have a hunch that
the other manufacturers will
follow suit. In the meantime,
you'll be doing yourself a big
favor by literally demanding
white, unleaded gasoline for
your cupboard. q,
