i THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1954 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Rumpus Room Is Suitable for Family’s Hobbies BY EDNA MILES JN the last decade, the rumpus room has undergone some drastic changes Once the background for ping-pong games and mini ature goll. it’s now a place where the whole family gathers to work away at do-it-yourself hobbies, or at learning a new skill. Dad spends his time at tool-bench carpentry; Mom runs up drapes arid slip covers, and the teen-agers hear both “long hair” and jazz via hi-fi Along with hi-fi. there’s a new enthusiasm for easy-to-learn musical instruments, such as the electronic and electric organs that provide creative activity for all age groups. The easily played electric organ can produce tones that are soft and mellow, lor family evenings, or loud and syncopated, for party gaiety It never needs tuning, fits into a tour-foot square and is easy to install or move around Turning a basement area into a recreation room is not difficult, since plumbing and heating pipes can now be covered with inex pensive and easily installed boards that decorate and soundproof For the floor, economical asphalt tile floors are both handsome t and rugged And in many homes, the owners merely whitewash existing brick walls It’s family fun to let the young finger-painting enthusiasts create the murals for the recreation room. These can be thumbtacked to cork boards and changed about as the artistic talent changes. Teen-agers don’t have to be coaxed to practice when they have their own organ. The spinet model of the electric organ is designed to fit into the limited space of a rumpus room. i here Are Strings Attached THE BAFFLES By Mahoney | HEYGUS! WHAT'S THE MATTER?

By TED RESTING So far as most sportsmen are concerned, even if Theodore Roosevelt had never been presi dent, he would have been famous as a hunter. He killed a tremen dous amount of game — and yet he did more for conservation in this country than any. other American sportsman. As president he put into ac tion measures that created five national parks, four big-game refuges, 51 bird sancturaries, and many laws to safeguard the wild life of our country. Roosevelt shot his first deer in the Adirondacks. when he was an undergraduate at Harvard. Later, throughout the West he shot moun tain sheep, elk, black-tailed deer, cougar, black bear and grizzlies. In 1909, after his second pres idential term, Roosevelt set off on his famous African trip. For months he hunted specimens for the Smithsonian Institution. The record of his game on this safari included eight elephants, seven hippopotami, nine lions, and rhinoceroses, great bustards, wildebeests, zebras, pythons and water buffaloes. His rifles were a .30-caliber army Springfield, a Winchester .405 and a double- barreled .500-450 Holland. He also carried a Fox 12-gauge shot gun and a gold-mounted rabbit’s foot! Roosevelt was never a single- minded killer. By nature he was a sharp observer of wildlife and anyone who reads African Game Trails is aware of his keen in terest in everything he saw. In 1913, when he was 55, he set off to Brazil to get plant and animal specimens. At the sug gestion of Brazilian authorities the party also undertook to trace the course of the unmapped River of Doubt. Not even on San Juan Hill or in Africa had Roosevelt faced greater dangers. Heavy rains hampered the party’s progress, food was scarce, insects made their lives a torment, often they had to cut a path through the steaming - jungle. Hostile Indians continually menaced them. Roosevelt fell and injured his leg; infection, blood poisoning and fever set in. He never completely recovered from the rigors of this trip arvd in 1919, surrounded by the many trophies of his vigorous hunting life, he died in his sleep at Sagamore Hill which just last June was dedicated as a national shrine.
