Quail Hatched tn Road Truck Clay Lilly, highway supervisor for Raeford, exhibited a most unusual sight in Raeford Tuesday afternoon, and with the strange sight went a most unusual story. During the afternoon he was op erating a road grading machine on the shoulder of a highway near town, the blade of the grader ran over and killed a mother quail. He stopped and found that none of the eggs o,f the 13 in the nest was hurt and the nest was apparently untouch ed, the grader had been set just high enough to have killed the bird. He picked up the eggs and placed them in a toesack, hoping that when he arrived home could find a bantam hen which was inclined toward motherhood which would finish the mother quail's job. But birth was tao near, no additional incubation was needed, except what was de rived trom the" toesack and the heat of Tuesday's sun. When Mr. Lilly arrived home, eleven chick quail had hatched. The other two eggs are being given proper pre-natal care with Mr. Lilly pacing the floor ex pectantly and with hopes that all will be hatched and live to enjoy a tetider and watchful childhood be fore he releases them this fall.- 50-Year Diplomas Granted To Six At Davidson Dr. Watson M.
