THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1950 PCURRY WRITES (Continued from Page One) One of the highlights of the occasion was the vocal music rendered by the Junior Choir of the Chapel. This choir was composed of girls and boys from the Helena area. They were trained and directed by Miss Constance Armfield, a member of Aveleigh Presby terian Church. Many visitors were much impressed by the singing and pronounced this the best Junior Choir they had ever heard. The Chapel consists of an auditorium and three class rooms all completely furnished. With the single exception of the piano, all the equipment was given to the Chapel by friends. At the time of the dedica tion Mr. B. M. Scurry was su perintendent of the Sunday School. Serving with him were Miss Mary Cook, secretary and treasurer: Mrs. O. F. Armfield and Mrs. J. M. Smith, teachers with Miss Constance Armfield, pianist and director of the Junior Choir. RITZ THEATRE Rev. C. A. Calcote served Leonhirth Memorial Chapel faithfully for many years un til he received a call elsewhere. Besides the usual Sunday School and church services,' Bible school and revival ser vices were held each summer. —B. M. Scurry.

There are people who can see wonder only in that which is rare or fantastic. But surely this one, who has every hand against him must have what it takes to survive —not only to survive, but abound! If he is a common animal, he possesses uncom mon and uncanny equipment to endure claims Donald Cul- ross Peattie, who is America’s most famous writer of natural history. So let’s examine this unus ual equipment. First there is the jack’s jumping power. A blacktailed jack was seen by one zoologist to jump a 5%-foot “rabbitproof” fence—not driven by fear, but in order to get at crops on the other side. The white-tailed jack will cover 22 feet and four inches at a leap. They will bound on for miles, 15 feet at a bound, 200 hops a minute, says one naturalist. I once clocked one at 35 miles an hour. And those mulish ears! They’re bigger in proportion to his head than a donkey’s to its own poll. But he needs every inch of them. Twisting them this way and that, he uses those ears like so many anten nae for colecting out of the air sounds which you and I never hear. Perhaps we should stop and get the jack straight with our zoology. Strictly speaking, he is not a rabbit but ‘ a hare. (True rabbits are bom blind and naked; the jack comes in a full suit of fur, with eyes wide open.) However, in com mon parlance he is a rabbit and the name wounds only the feelings of a purist. The jack rabbit is protective ly colored, too. In various parts of his vast range, he takes on different hues. But we haven’t come to his most wonderful equipment: the ability to live without water. In the west, the desert jack may live a whole rabbit span of existence without tasting free water. Then there is his amazing nibbling capacity. It is no wonder that he is indicted by ranchers and farmers with a long list of. charges. Some esti mates have put the damage of these hares to range grasses as one third the total pastur age and browse. An acre of a&alfa may be cut down in a few nights, during years of rabbit abundance. Probably no shooting except quail shooting, when the quail “bomb” explodes, requires such quick reaction, such split-sec ond markmanship, as when old Jack unexpectedly bounds out of a bush, and whirls away with antelope speed. And no other shooting of any kind of true game animal can be done with such a free conscience. The sport is great, the flesh is fair eating, the farmer bene fits, and there are always more. 1950 AGRICULTURAL PROGRAM BETTER FARM LIVING SOUTH carolin^/ States rfpucultuta/ We endorse Point No. 10— Seeds and Plants Increase production and use of clean high quality seeds and plants, including certified seed, for addi tional farm income, an to aid in efficient crop pro duction.
