FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1950 THE NfiWRfiftRY SUN By 7W Kestmi The cottontail rabbit is our favorite game animal. If you don’t beleive this, just look at these facts dug up by George Heinold: Some 11 minion hunt ers take to the field each season and bag between 30 and 40 mil lion bunnies. The incredible harvest puts nearly 100 million pounds of succulent meat into the national stewpot. According to a recent national survey, the rabbit toll adds up to more than 50 percent of all other small game combined! Now there are several sport ing ways to hunt rabbits. Men who like grade-A hound music send beagles into the field. But many other breeds will serve the purpose. In fact, any pooch that will tree the neighbor’s cat will also run a rabfcK. For tops in sport, however, certain dualities n ces ary in a rabbit dog. Among these, nose and persistence are the most important. Experience \ be the best trainer. Unlike fox-hounds, low-geared speed is desirable in a rabbit dog. A race track dog will run the game into dens and stone walls, but a slower one drives in a circle and almost invari ably brings the bunny back to where the chase began. Next to the beagle, my second choice for a rabbit dog would be a spaniel or terrier. But you can hunt without a dog. The main thing is knowing where to look for rabbits. The cottontail can . usually be. found snoozing in brush lots, meadow- lands, grassy thickets on the fringes of farms and suburbs, on ill-kept farms and cutover wood lots. Never pass up a brushy, sunny slope when hunting on farmland. Buckshot dung, piles of little brown pellets are the signs to look for. Then after the first snow- blankets the woods, you can try the traditional New England pastime of “Injun-walking” rab bits. This is a simple but stim ulating sport because following tracks etched in fresh snow keeps you in contact witfl the movements * of your game. There is an important rule to remember when Injun-walking rabbits: although they are hard to evict from their beds the first time, they are very apt the sec ond time to jump the new lair be fore you can get close enough to kick the cover. So watch it. PROSPERITY ITEMS Miss Thelma Jeanette Schump- ert of Columbia and James Ben jamin Shealy of Chapin and Col umbia, were married Thanksgiv ing day at four o’clock at the home of Dr. J. B.

BOYS ARE THAT WAY Our folks lived close and sav ed. They had to. For a living came rather hard in the stone hills of the Dutch Fork, and only a frugal people could thrive there. , I was almost ready for long pants before I had a ready-made suit It was a hand-me-down irom a relative in town, with Norfolk belted coat and knicker- bocker pants. It was really the thing. All of my clothes before' were homemade, mostly out of jeans, as tough as leather. And the pants were what we called three-quarters length. They reach ed about six inches below the knees to protect our stockings. Stockings were made all the way at home—carding, spinning, dye ing, and knitting. A fall, while at play, would bust the knees out and they would then ravel away. So the pants protected them at the knees. After we sat in those pants a while they stayed bent a bit at the knees and made us look like we were fixing to jump all the time. Our handkerchiefs w»ere all oblong, made out of flower sacks, two to the sack. When they were new you could read “Guaranteed First Patent” on one and “Ballard’s Obelisk Flour” on the other one. But that soon washed out. We wore wool hats mostly. They were cheap contraptions that took on the shape of a cone once they got wet. We called that going to . seed. Shoes were usually the brogan type. They were very stiff-f bottomed shoes of rough leather that you held together in front with a buckle. They hurt your feet at first, until you got them broke in, and then they wore good. But they were as hard to break as a mule. Once I got a pair of shoes that were a little better that had a brass guard on the toe. I was awful proud o. them.
