Raised 12 Boys But Only One Had Buzzard For Pet
Don and Wayne Russell, 12 and 13, keep a turkey buzzard as a pet at Fulton, Kansas. Mrs. Ruth Russell explains the unusual brood has produced only one pet in their family. The buzzard, with a broken wing, was found near the city dump and now roosts with the chickens. It feeds around the yard and has even clutched a pig’s meal when the pig started to eat. Although the wing is mended, the bird shows little interest in flying. The creature belongs to the vulture family, with dark plumage and a reddish head, common in the region and nearby areas.

Critical After Mighty Leap From Golden Gate Bridge
SAN FRANCISCO AP Fran cis Patrick Kennedy, the second person ever to survive a leap from the Golden Gate bridge, remained in critical condition today. The 20-year-old Oakland Youth vaulted over the railing Sunday and dropped more than 13 feet onto rain-softened earth. He suffered fractures of both arms and numerous internal injuries, the equivalent of an 11-story plunge. In 1941, Cornelia Vin Terland, 22, jumped from the span and landed in the water 220 feet below. Her present whereabouts are unknown.
