The skunk has the distinction
of being the only four-footed
Anerican that can • return the
ttre of hunters. H\s weapon has
made him feareki by all animals,
including most of mankind. In
an article in Sports Afield, out
door writer George Heinold de-
acribes him as the Master of
Chemical Warfare. But, despite the
efficiency of his ordnance, the
skunk is not militant, either in
looks or disposition.

The average skunk—he would be
of the striped species—is some
28 inches long and weighs about
five pounds. But longevity and
good hunting may increase his
bulk to a hefty eight or more
pounds.
He never fires without plenty of
warning. First signal is stamp
ing with the forefeet. Second, the
tail is hoisted with the tip hang
ing down. If this ultimatum fails,
the white tip rises, spreads out,
and he fires. The skunk can fire
fore, aft and sidewise. Skunk
musk can be smelled for a mile.
Golden yellow in color, it burns
human skin on contact. It is re
ported to have blinded Indian trap
pers. However, I’ve seen it score in
the eyes of men, boys and dogs
without more than temporary ill
effect.
The skunk has been cited by
biologists as the carnivore that
ranks highest as a destroyer of
insects. In addition, he will eat
mice, rats, leaves, buds, grass,
chrrion, grains,- garbage, any kind
of fruit and berry within reach,
and when he’s able to catch it,
small game. On occasion, he eats
eggs and fledglings of ground-
nesting birds. But he squares him
self, repaying with compound in
terest: he digs out and dines up
on the eggs of snapping turtles—

I REMEMBER 1
BY THE OLD TIMERS
South Carolina’s state tree, the
Palmetto, gives the state its
nickname. Symbolic of the
British defeat at Sullivan’s
Island, the Palmetto grows in
profusion in coastal areas. A
life-sized iron Palmetto tree
S aces the State House in
ilumbia, a monument to the
famous Palmetto regiment of
tiie Mexican war.
In historic South Carolina,
the United States Brewers Foun
dation Division office works con
stantly to encourage mainte
nance of wholesome conditions
wherever beer and ale are sold.
Am in other states, the program
calls for close cooperation be
tween law-enforcement officers
and beer licensees throughout
South Carolina.

but compare Perry- with Frank

him when success came his way

Recently. Perry refused a fabu
lous offer of $25,000 per week for
a two-week engagement at a Las

difficult for any performer but him
to turn down He is perfectly
content to have his radio and tele

2 teaspoons salt

When making applesauce, do not
peel apples since the skin contains
vitamins and minerals. Apple skins
are thin and will slip aff easily
when you strain the sauce.
Hull berries just a short while
before serving. Before* bulling,
wash them thoroughly so berries
don't become water-logged.

Unlike bis cousins the weasel
and otter, the skunk has no wan
derlust. Only during mating time
will he muster enough energy to
waddle more than 500 yards from
home. Most of his hunting is done
after dark, for nocturnal foraging
suits his lack of cunning, his slug
gishness and his tastes in diet.
Decidedly incautious and heavy-
footed, the skunk not only travels
where angels fear to tread but
also bums his bridges behind him.
As a result, he frequently tumbles
into cellars, barrels, manholes—
not to mention odder places. It is
safe to say that fire departments
move a million dollars wo r th of
equipment each year to rescue
blundering skunks.

T ake heart, good friend—you can buy a
hit-of-the-year Buick if you can afiord
any new car.
And we proudly show our price here to
prove it.
For this price is the delivered price—the
local delivered price—of the new Buick
Special 2-door, 6-passenger Sedan—and
it’s just a few dollars away from those of
the so-called “low-price three”—lower,
in fact, than even some models of those
very same cars.
But look what this Buick price gets you!
It gets you the very look of tomorrow in
styling modernity, even to the spectacular
new panoramic windshield that seems to
outdate everything before it.
It gets you Buick V8 power—highest in
1
Special history — plus the economy 6f
new Power-Head Pistons.
It gets you Buick room, Buick luxury,
Buick size and structure and solidity-
including of course, the fanned Million
Dollar Ride and a new precision in
handling ease.
It gets you, too, solid and deep-down value.
For any way you look at it, you’re money
ahead with the car that’s years-ahead now
in looks and line and the lift of its power
—and the car that's outselling every other
car in America except two of the "low-price
three,"
Drop in today or the first thing tomorrow
—just to try and to drive and to compare
a new Buick. We’ll let the car prove its
points.
