ning as a vital part of the nutri
tion program. i
2. To produce a food supply
which will provide an optimism

Jackson County Man
Captures Duck; Looks
For Joe Penner Here
Ode Brightwell, a Jackson
county Negro, came to Athens last
night looking for a man named
Joe—he couldn’t remember the
man’s last name but he said he
saw an advertisement in The
Banner-Herald offering a reward
for a lost duck, belonging to “Mr.
Joe”,
The duck was captured in Jack
son county, near Ode’s home, but
it refused to answer tp the name
of “Goo Goo” and neither would
it talk.
After arriving here with his
prize, Ode learned that what he
had caught was not a duck, after
all, but a goose with probable
turkey ancestrage, and so couldn’t
qualify as Joe Penner's famous
lost playmate.
What led the Negro to believe
he had captured a duck and had
earned a “reward” was an adver
tisement in The Banner-Herald in
connection with the showing of
“CoHegiate,” starring Joe Penner
and Jack Oakie, at the Palace
theater last week.
When last seen Ode was . mak
ing his way down Clayton street,
hugging the “duck" to his bosom.
