Kennecott Gets
Eggs Weekly
THEYLACK OLDTIME FLAVOR
SOURDOUGHS COMPLAIN
By Our Poultry Editor
A tew weeks ago Pilot Smith
of the Cordova Air Service
1 ilnded the biggest cargo of fresh
eggs ever flown to McCarthy,
thirty cases at one lick.
Last year tl e boys were will
ing to bet that the eggs could
make the trip under their own
power. John Letendre says he
likes thorn that way, and he has
no use for an egg that won’t
stand up lor itself. He says he
once had a trained egg that
would roll over at the word of
command.
He spent a long winter train
ing the egg but while showing
it off to some friends one day,
he made it 1 oil over so many
times it became scrambled. As
it had been a pet he couldn’t eat
it himself, but, being short of
grub, he gave it to his raalemute
dog. Later in the same evening
he was thinking sadly of his lost
pal ' and bnpp,jn°d to say the
same words he used with the
egg. The dog rolled over just
the same as the egg had done.
John felt better after that as,
he says, he knew the egg had
found a good home.—Fond Parent
