BROOKLINE'S ANNUAL 



Readers of the Bulletin from month to month will no doubt recall last 

 year's most interesting story of the wild duck family that migrated through 

 Brookline's most populous streets on foot while the policeman held up the 

 automobile traffic that they might pass in safety. It seems this is getting to 

 be an annual return as witness the following: 



April 13, 1920. 

 My dear Mr. Packard: — 



The following true story might interest your Bulletin readers. Last 

 week when traffic on Beacon Street was busiest, about eight o'clock in the 

 morning, a mother mallard (wild duck) led her five children from a pond 

 on the Amory Street, where they had spread oil, across the field, under the 

 fence, down the middle of Carleton Street, the traffic policeman holding up 

 the electric cars and a hundred automobiles while she carefully led them 

 along over the car-tracks across Beacon Street, then over the B. & A. Railroad 

 to the Fenway Brook in safety. That is what I call common sense and 

 devotion. I wonder if a hen would use as much judgment. 



Yours truly, 



(Signed) Harry V. Long.
