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

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

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.

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.
