Sports Afield
(By TED KESTING)
I have just read an interesting article about snakes and
their importance to sportsmen. 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.

C BS has come up with the finest
children’s show on television
today in its wonderful hour-long
“Captain Kangaroo” . . . The old.
lovable captain (we presume he is
retired as he never refers to his
sea-going vessel) has huge pock
ets (kangaroo-style) filled with all
kinds of surprises for the small
fry . . . 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-

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.

Shrimp Search
South Carolina’s delicious
shrimp, now in such great de
mand, may become more plenti

exploration by the quasi-public
Bears Bluff Laboratories on
Wadmalaw island. Search for
the shrimp is being pushed far
out to sea and the Wildlife
Resources Commission hopes re
sults will mean more employ
ment of professional fishermen
as well as more shrimp.
