THE HOWE ENTERPRISE THURSDAY DECEMBER 12, 1974
kids’ kor
by Chick
Corkey
Corkey peeked out of her
shell and saw five other little
ducklingl just starting to
break through their shells. It
was a beautiful morning and
Mamma duck was happily
swimming around her nest.
She had built her nest under
one of the docks at Loe’s
Highport anfo Corkey took her
first look at the world outside.
She saw large and small boats
in the marina. Some were
docked and some were headed
for the open water. Corkey
was afraid to leave her shell.
One by one Mamma started
giving swimming lessons to
her brothers and sisters and
taught them how to race to the
boats that were docked be-
cause people were always
throwing food into the water
for them to eat.
Several days went y before
Mamma finally decided it was
time to tach Corkey how to
swim. She pulled Corkey out
of her shell and threw her into
the water. It was cold and
Corkey was frightened. She
began moving her feet very
fast and much to her surpirse
she found herself floating on
top of the water. It was a
great feeling.
Every day Corkey practiced
her swimming ut it was very
hard to keep up with her
brothers and sisters. She was
the smallest of all the duck-
lings. She knew that her
mother ws upset with her but
she just couldn’t get to the
boats in time to get her share
of the food.
One day a new couple came
to the marina and began
throwing food to the ducks
from their boat. Corkey
wanted very much to make
friends but she was late as
usuaTand all the other ducks
got the food. Then the people
left. They came almost every
weekend but Corkey gave up
trying to reach their boat.
One morning when it was
still very dark Corkey heard
footsteps and laughter. None
of the other ducks were
awake. Corkey swam out to
see where the noise was com-
ing from. It was the same
couple. They had come out
early to do some fishing and of
course feed the ducks. Corkey
headed for their boat but by
the time she got there the
other ducks had awakened and
eaten all the food. Poor Cor-
key missed out again.
Several weeks later on a
beautiful, dark, clear night,
Corkey was just gliding along
the shore looking for some-
thing to eat when she saw that
same couple come to the ma-
rina and head for their boat.
Corkey began swimming
towards their boat before the
other ducks could find out that
they were there. The people
threw bread and other little
goodies into the water and
Corkey gobbeled them up as
fast as she could. Then some-
thing terrible happened. A
piece of bread had something
hard in it. Corkey pressed
down as hard as she could. It
was sharp and stuck to her
beak. She tried frantically to
get loose but before she knew
it she was being lifted out of
the water and someone grab-
bed her. She was held bery
tight while someone took the
sharp object out of her beak
and then she was placed in a
very dark box. Corkey was
shaking all over and her poor
little beak was very sore. She
stayed in the box for a long
time. Corkey bounced back
and forth as the box that she
was in was carried to a car.
The people drove for a long
time and every now and then
Corkey let out a quack to let
everyone know that she was
there.
When the car finally stopped,
Corkey was taken out of the
box and put in a great big
cage. She didn’t like it. The
people were very gentle with
her and gave her good food
and before too long she gorgot
, about the big lake where she
had been born and all the
other happy ducks.
One day a man came into the
barn to look at Corkey. The
people that owned her were
with him. He walked around
her cage several times.
Corkey stood very straight as
the man opened her cage door
and reached in to grab her by
the neck. She was dragged
out of the cage and put into a
heavy sck. The sack with
Corkey in it was put in the

back of a car and in a few
minutes Corkey was riding
along wondering where she
was going next.
The car finally stopped. The
sack that contained Corkey
was gently lifted out of the car
and opened. Corkey stag-
gered out feeling very lonely
and upset. She looked all
around. There was a big red
barn and way down at the end
of a big pasture was a nice big
pond.
Corkey didn’t know whether
to hed for the barn or the
pond. She heard quacking. It
was coming from the pond so
she headed that way. A great
big dog suddenly appeared
and started to run after her as
she waddled down the pas-
ture. Corkey could hear the
man hollering at him. She
finally made it to the pond.
Corkey jumped into the pond
and began swimming around.
She didn’t see anything at
first. Underneath the bushes
at the farthest edge of the
pond were three other ducks.
They quacked and quacked at
Corkey and made her feel
welcome. They weren’t much
bigger than her so Corkey felt
right at home. Seh doesnt
have to worry about rushing to
the boats anymore, because
she gets her share of food
along with the other thrdfe
ducks.

Many large cities-such as
New York, Indianapolis, Hous-
ton and Miami-obtain a large
part of their municipal water
supplies from wells. Memphis,
Wichita and other large cities
obtain all of their supply
from wells, according to the
Ground Water Council. There
are single wells in the U.S.
that yield more than 10 mil-
lion gallons of water daily
over decades.
Over 12 million U.S. fami-
lies rely on individual wells.
These include not only farms
but families with suburban,
small town and vacation
homes. Smaller wells for fam-
ily use produce upwards of 5
gallons per minute.
The most beautiful Christ-
mas trfee is always the one in
your home with your own
personally collected decora-
tions. It seems to cover the
house with a warm glow and
fill your family with holiday
cheer.
To keep your tree beauti-
ful, fresh and fragrant straight
through Twelfthnight--and cut
down on the sweeping and
caretaking-follow these five
simple suggestions.
1. Make sure the tree you
select is fresh. Test it by
bending the needles; if they
are pliant, the tree is fresh.
Then gently tap the base of
the tree against the ground.
A fresh tree will hold its
needles fast.
2. When you get the tree
home, keep it outdoors, if
possible, until you are ready
to set it up for decorating.
3. Saw off about one inch
on the diagonal from the tree
trunk. This eliminates clotted
resins that form at the base
of the tree which could block
it from absorbing water.
4. Place the tree in a bucket
of water mixed with Prolong
live-cut Christmas Tree pre-
server-the ratio is one capful
to each cup (8 ounces) of
water. Spray the tree with
water to keep it extra fresh.
5. Once brought inside for
decorating, be sure to place
the tree in a spot which is
cool and away from heaters.
Secure it in a waterholding
stand- and watch the water-
Prolong level carefully.

fondue party. Fondue can
easily be prepared in any
heavy pan on the range. Set
the pan over a candle warmer
when serving. And you and
your guests can then enjoy
fondue’s flavor, fun and
friendliness.

"Now that people
are conserving electricity,
why does TP&L
keep builcling power plants?'
Your wise use of electricity helps you- reduce the
amount of your electric bills . . . helps TP&L
stretch short supplies of natural gas and oil
necessary to run power plants . . . and, at the
same time, strengthens TP&L's ability to meet
current needs of all its customers.
However, wise use alone will not assure that
there 11 be enough electricity in future months and
years. TP&L must build new power plants for two
reasons.
Reason One: New customers. On a continuing
basis, TP&L must forecast the needs of new
customers and, to be ready to meet these needs,
begin construction of plants three to five years in
advance. For example, in 1973 almost 18,000 new
customers requested service and two large
generating units which were placed in operation
in 1972 helped assure power for their
requirements.
Reason Two The 'fuel shift." Within the next five
years, TP&L will steadily reduce its dependency
on gas and oil for running power plants. Seven
generating units designed to use readily available
lignite-coal are now under construction and others
will be started soon. By 1980, TP&L expects to
begin supplying power' from a nuclear-fueled
generating unit.
Your careful use of electricity and.TP&L's
continuing programs ot planning and building
new plants, lines and other facilities are helping
assure that there'll be no shortage of electric
power in the North, Central and East Texas area
served by TP&L.
