Papa Whooping Crane Waits For First Egg To Hatch
Austwell, Tex., — (UP) —A proud whooping crane named Crip peered impatiently today at an oversized egg that should produce the first little whooper ever hatched in captivity.
Like any expectant father, he ap- parently was wondering why his offspring was taking so much time in arriving.
Julian A. Howard, manager of the reserve, said the blessed event already was overdue.
The egg was laid by Crip's mate, Josephine, about April 22 in her marshy pen at the Arkansas national wildlife refuge, maintained by the U. S. department of interior near Austwell.
When he discovered the egg shortly after it had been laid by Josephine, the only female of her rare species in captivity, he estimated it would hatch in 22 days.
He admitted last night he had miscalculated, having never watched whoopers mate before, but thought the little fellow would peck his way out of the shell within 10 days.
Mr. Howard said Crap, so-called because he injured a wing last October and could not migrate northward with other whoppers, is so impatient he takes turns with Josephine in squatting on the egg.
Josephine handled three shirts, tardy and Crip worked as a sitter four times, Mr. Howard said, Crip, Josephine and another male whooper who keeps his distance, remain on the reservation because wing injuries prevent them from flying.
The whooping crane is the tallest bird in the world and now is almost extinct. The four-and-one-half-foot crane thrived in the United States in the 19th century but migrated to Canada when hunters became too numerous.
Mr. Howard said only 37 whoopers are known to exist today, including the trio on his reservation.
Police To Change Greeting
Cambridge, Mass.—(U.P.)—"Where do you think you're going—to a fire?" No longer will that traditional salutation greet speeders in Cambridge. New instructions issued to rookie traffic officers warn that: "If you are angry, excited or nervous, give yourself a cooling-off period before you approach the violator."
