It is by the famous snake authority, Ross Allen, and Wilfred T. Neill, and it is in the current issue of Sports Afield. Since almost every case of snake bite receives mention in the papers, the two subscribed to a clipping service which provided newspaper accounts of bites. Then a brief ques tionnaire was sent to each victim, his physician, or to the hospital where he was treated. They wanted to know just how, when, and where the accident happened; the age, sex, weight, and race of the victim; the kind of snake involved; the part of the body.that was bitten; the treatment receiv ed; and the outcome of the case. The response was gratifying, and eventually they accu mulated more than 600 case histories. And there were sur prisingly few sportsmen?on the list! We may conclude that the average hunter or fishermen is not apt to be bitten by a poisonous snake. Of the 600 people, the largest group (179) were struck right in their own yards or homes! These victims were sub urban or rural nonfarming residents. When the accident happened, they were weeding the garden, picking flowers, moving old boxes in the garage, cutting brush, trimming shrubbery, walking to the mailbox; 77 were children at play. The second largest group of victims (91) were people who catch, collect, or otherwise handle snakes. Among the rep tile hunters and collectors, the percentage of bites is high, the percentage of fatalities low. They carry snake-bite first- aid kits and know how to use them. The third largest group (84) were greenhorns who enter ed the woods for non-sporting purposes. They were picking flowers or berries, carrying out rocks for a rock garden, or just communing with nature. They were not as watchful as a hunter would be, and so they put their foot or hand right beside—even on—a poisonous snake. The fourth largest group (60) were farming people, bitten while performing their daily chores. Way down in fifth place are the hunters (33). Most of them were struck on the #nkle, a few on the hand. Sixth place goes to fishermen, (22). The majority of them were in one of the southern states and wefe bitten by a cottonmouth. Of the 600 cases, eight proved fatal. Mostof the deaths were due to inadequate, improper or delayed treatment. Bites were fewest from December through Fbruary, began to rise in March, reached a peak from June thru August.

There may be a squirrel or a baby bird amongst the doo dads that gentle, old men with huge pockets usually carry about with them . . . Everything he does and sayg is in good taste and a delight in itself. It he plays records, he has hand puppets dancing to the tunes; he may feed his domestic animals and weave magic stories of far away lands ... Of this we can be certain: anyone who can keep a small child completely absorbed to the point where he will not move ao much as an eyelash for an en tire hour must either have a hyp notic eye or a way with children and there is no doubt but what it is the latter. “Captain Kangaroo” Is in re ality Bob Keeshan, a 88-year-old genius, who, with producer Jack Miller, created the delightful char acter and brought him on the air . . . Bob was the original “Clara- belle the Clown” on the noisy “Howdy Doody” show and, while he decent say so, undoubtedly it was foe brassiness of that show that must have given him the idea for a quiet and gentle person who could enjoy performing tow chil- This modern pied piper of tele- viskm Is the keeper of the keys to a children’s wonderland where fantasy and reality are gently blended to bring children the best possible emerta inment Best ef an. he does not “play down” te Ms small fry audience He treats them as though they were neighborhood children gathered at his knee for a story, which in deed is true in a sense. THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1956 — ' ' r ‘” BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER r:fe 8 ; BSSfei--' 5, The other day an oldtimer from Alabama sent me a new'horseshoe nail and asked if 1 knew what country boys used them for, other than horse shoes than shoe horses. Do I? . * They were a part of my past, and of every boy in our Stone Hills. And one could be found in the plunder that was in every boy’s pocket. They were used for nut picks, of course. And I was sure glad to get this shiny one for old-time sake. To keep the sharp point from sticking us, each boy had a choice bit of corn cob he had whittled down to the right size. His horse shoe nail had its point firmly im bedded in the pith of that cob. And then it was saf there with your othe£ valuables in your pock et. Boys always ned something to eat. I don’t mean just at meal time. The average lean and lank country boy in our time could be eating something just about all the time. Of course,, much of the time it was sort of slim eating, like the first wormy green apples in the spring, wild plums, black berries, honey locusts, sandber ries, black haws that were almost all seed, and so on. Our stone Hills abounded in nuts —hickory nuts, walnuts, and scaly barks. But, except for scaly barks, and they were scarce, you could eat all day and not get very much from them. We didn’t just count upon them in the fall when‘they fell either. We’d gather them by the bushels and store them in the smokehouse. Then when we went on a jaunt to the woods, if we knew the picking would be light at that time, we’d take a pocket full of them along. Then, as the urge to eat hit us, we’d stop, orcak a few on a rock, and go merrily on our way, picking them out with our horseshoe nail. Thanks for sending me that nail, my friend. It brought* many pleasant memories. And, by the way, come to think of it, modern ingenuity hasn’t improved much on a commpn old horseshoe nail as a nut pick either. '■ St?
