can be told—now that meat ra

shadows of the live oaks, the door
left open, a trail of bread strewn
to the bank—

completed a round a duck would
have accepted the invitation, the
car door would have slammea and
another Muscovy or Pekin wouM
be on his way to the skille*.

are in matters of food, the duck
nappers picked these tastiest
breeds, Douglass said. ’
Even though rationing ended,
he banded the remaining 500
ducks.

This doesn’t stop rock-throwing,
but it limits to about 50 cents the
damage one rock can cause.
