Item No. 6D: Dr. J. Robert Hogan reviewed with the Board a meeting held with the Nebo Development Corporation where Superintendent Reidhead, Lee Bate a pelican looks like say the kids and one came in for a forced after landing hitting a high tension wire. One or both of the hits proved fatal. So thats what She thought she was a pretty important pelican as she soared through the sky above Spanish Fork that fateful Sunday afternoon, but her exuberance was shortlived as she hit a high tension wire near the home of H.D, Snow at 463 North 100 West and crashlanded on his lawn. The bird sustained a broken wing and other injuries but lived several hours. It is impossible for a pelican to raise its face because nature must have been in a jovial mood when she fashioned the queer looking bird; she kinked a vertebrae in its neck. She gave it a weak beak, more than a foot long. Then she fastened to the lower mandible a pouch of skin that stretches to a depth of six inches in which she can hold two quarts of water and some pelicans can dive into the water and scoop up fish in the pouch. The solemn-lookin- g pelicans are fond of company. They flock together in great colonies to bring up their families, and they usually set out in groups on fishing trips. They are silent creatures and emit no sound except for an occasional grunt. On land pelicans are awkward birds, but in the air they perform graceful and magnificent group flights. They swim very well. Their bodies, which have numerous air sacs, are as buoyant as cork and their large webfeet make strong paddles. , Baby pelicans are naked and blind at birth and require parental care until they are eight weeks old. They are fed on predigested fish, that is, the parent regurgitates the food for the young from its crop into its pouch. Though the large pelican died, she lived the last brief period of time where she knew man to be kind. , and Dr. Hogan discussed with the group the public relations problem that had developed through the purchase of property from them for the proposed Nebo School District Bus Shop. Dr. Hogan reviewed the action taken by the Nebo Development Corporation which they felt would correct this public relations problem.
