Golden Eagle Gets a
Rude Welcome In Chicago
CHICAGO (/P> — Golden eagles
are supposed to live in craggy
mountain retreats, not amid the
glass and steel of big cities.
Rut Friday, a golden eagle1 at
tacked Penny, a lovable month
old puppy.
The bird, perched regally atop
a south side roof, spotted Penny,
spread its enormous wings and
swooped down upon the mild
mannered city pup.
Penny wheeled, tore for cover
and almost made it, but the giant
bird struck and dug its sharp claws
into the dog’s back.
A passing policeman rushed to
Penny’s aid and fired his pistol
at the bird. The shot missed.
Penny’s owner, Fred Goodman,
grabbed a broom lying on the side
walk and did a brief, but furious
battle with the bird.
The graceful eagle — doubtless
unaccustomed to rude city ways—
dropped the pup and ascended to
its lofty perch once more.
The city folks then called the
Lincoln Park Zoo. A zoologist
raced to the scene, pumped a
single tranquilizer shot from his
special gun into the bird and carted
it away.
WEARS HEARING AID
NEW YORK UP>—Nanette Fab
ray says she doesn't hear the or
chestra when she is singing in a
show. She disclosed that she wears
a hearing aid under her brown
tresses. But. she said, her hear
ing is impaired to the point where
she has to sing as though un
accompanied.
Miss Fabray, who will sing in
the Broadway opening of the mu
sical show “Mr. President,” told a
group of deaf children recently,
“We’re in the same boat. When I
miss a beat, the conductor has to
catch up with me.”
About 14 per cent of all U.S.
families now own more than one
automobile.
