FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1952 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE SEVEN S p orts Afield jj BY TED KESTING Most of us think of the moun tain lion as a western animal, and it comes as something of a surprise to learn that it still lives in the- East too. There is a small variety in Florida, and a full-sized one in New Bruns wick. More surprising is the fact that in the northeastern limit of their range the moun tain lion—or panther or cougar Old Scrub Board Giving Way To Modem Washers Rock Hill, Mar. 29—Home laundering by farm families has undergone considerable changes in the past seven or eight years, Miss Ruby Craven, home manage ment specialist, Winthrop College, stated here this 1 week. She says that, although a big maj&rity of farm families still do their laun dering at home, the old scrub board is gradually disappearing and that new equipment is taking its place. She points out that in 1948 when the Southern Regional Housing Study was made 43 per cent of all farm-owner families had washing . machines and that a large percent of the others in dicated their plans to get ma^ chines within a few years. She adds that of those who owned washing machines only four per cent had the electric automatic or catamount — are more nu merous than ever because of the increasing number of deer . on which they largely depend for winter food. Dr. William Long, noted nat uralist, spent some time in the West just to study their habits. One of the most interesting items in his report concerns "scrapes.” These are wedgeshaped piles of earth or pine spills in which the lion leaves his sign, probably by spilling urine. Ben Lilly, famous western hunter, records that he saw a lion made a scrape with his hind feet. But Long says some scrapes are certainly made by the big front paws, as indicated by pug marks or widespread claws. To the question of why scrapes are made, no postive answer can be given. Long thinks they are the work of a male lion after he has killed and eaten. His purpose (probably instinctive) is either to tell any female lion that with him she shall have good hunting; or else, like a dog wolf, he leaves his sign to tell any hungry lion how to find food by following the trail back to where the scrape-maker left most of his kill uneaten. One hope of Long’s was to learn how a lion kills big game; but he never had the luck to catch one at it. The lion has plenty of speed, but not much HO OTHER GASOLINE EVER DID THIS BEFORE '•i SINCLAI GASOLINE WITH RD-119* NO EXTRA COST *RD-I19® Sinclair’s Miracl* rust inhibitor City Filling Station STROTHER C.

Of course, this is just the first year of the five year plan. type. “Even though most of the machines being used are not of the electric automatic type they enable the homemakers to do their own washing in a relatively easy manner. This has been a big help because only nine per cent of the families owning ma chines report they have outside help for laundering,” she states. Miss Craven says that accord ing to the 1950 farm census 26 percent of all farm families own ed a washing machine. "Often, however, the washing machine is secured before running water, probably because of the expense involved,” she continues. "Also families have been buying this equipment faster than they have been able to provide a proper place for storing** and using it. Now it is a familiar sight to seq washing machines on front porches or in back yards of homes throughout the state. “These pieces of equipment were built for indoor use; there fore, they will not give as many years of service if left outside.

If chased after eating he takes quickly to a tree, not having learned how to empty his stomach for a long run, as a fox or wolf does. I have heard that a lion springs upon the back of a deer; then holding on by a grip of his jaws, he reaches out a paw to grasp the head and twist it back, breaking the deer’s neck and killing him insta&tly. This may be a lion's method in some cases, but Long doubts it because of the dozen or more kills he examined, not one had a broken neck. Without excep tion, they showed deep gashes that slashed from the neck down and across one side. The .deer' had died from opened blood ves sels, and probably without any feeling of pain because of the shock caused by the paralyzing blow of the lion’s leap.

WKDK MUTUAL Tourist Booklet Being Distributed Columbia, April 2—A definite policy for distribution of the new, color booklet designed to attract tourists to the State was announced today by the Research, Planning and Development Board. Charles N. Plowden, director, said the booklet will be confined to out-of-state distribution almost entirely, with a very small and rigidly limited distribution for ed ucational purposes within South Carolina. Charging for those booklets dis tributed within the State was first considered as a means of securing wider distribution, he said. This policy, however, has been rejected as a result of sug gestions received from members of the tourist industry following the etatewlde tourist conference here in March. It *is felt that it would be un fair and unwise to sell copies of a publication intended and de signed for free distribution, Mr. Plowden added. "Although the number of copies being printed B65,000 — is not enough to meet the demand by any means,” he said, “it com prises the full extent of the Board’s opportunities under its present appropriation.” i own washing machines, as well as freezers, should plan a space for them that will protect them and that will also provide a convenient place to work with them. “In planning a location for the family laundry, the homemaker should keep in mind that she can carry on other household work and keep an eye on small children at the same time the laundering is being done if the laundry is located somewhere in side the house. Heating the space is usually more easily taken care of inside the house,” she concludes. Planning The Kitchen and Workroom, a U. S. Department of Agriculture bulletin, which may be obtained trom the home dem onstration office, Winthrop Col lege, Rock Hill, gives some help ful Ideas for planning a new or remodelled home. ' Under the policy announced to day, organizations and private firms serving the tourist public will be given limited Quantities of the booklet for presentation on request to non-residents visiting South Carolina. This will he done, however, only on condition that names and addresses of re cipients be later forwarded to the Board. Such names can then be used as “money” for a re peat order. In this way, an exact check can be made on. who received the booklets and, later on, whether they responded to^ its appeal by extending their stay in the State or returning for vacations. This method will be continued until the supply of booklets set aside for this purpose is exhausted. Also within the State, one book let each will be sent to the fol lowing : All school, college, and public libraries; Members of the Legis lature and the, Governor; 'News papers and radio stations; Heads of all States Departments. The majority of the booklets will then be left for answering legitimate inquiries received by the Board from non-residents; and for use in mass distribution methods such as automobile clubs, travel offices, and the like in strategic tourist areas. ■' PRIVATE RILEY WOULD LIKE FRIENDS TO WRITE HIM Pvt.
