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.

By TM Kestsug
The jack rabbit is a wonder
ful animal. 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.
