MOUNTAIN DEW

Thé longest 60 seconds I know follows, “A woi^ from our spon sor.”

A belated story of the summer herewith goes into print. One warm day several mischievous big boys found a village drunk asleep near the binnekill. They had difficulty in awakening him. After several trials they were found jducking him in tiie binne kill waters. ^* 0 *

They held his feet and ducked him head down. He awoke after a time and was returned to his sleeping place to diry off arid sober up.

The deer season closed early this month. The hunters are gone. But another season is be­ginning despite the fact partridges and squirrels may be legally killed imtil the end of this month.

* * *The season I have in mind is

that of the'rabbit, be it cottontail or varying hare, alias snowshoe rabbit, alias varying hare. Tiiis fellow looks like a brown bunny in sumnier. But he varies his coat when cold days come and is therefore often called varying hare. He is white as snow all winter. .

* « *Beagle hoxmds and shotguns

are tops for both kind of rabbit hunters. Smedl boys catch cot­tontails in homemade, box traps, using a “figure four” trigger to drop the box cover on the unsus­pecting bimny.

* « *Larger boys and men have gjeat

sport in the Catskills shooting the cottontails during the season which continues until the end of February. Let no one say i t is not good sport ^>orting maga­zines and sport writers take con­siderable space to tell of the hunt.

* ♦ ♦Beagles trailing brown shapes

blast in a whirlwind of snow, tiie beagles give voice while the cot- tontedls jimips over the snow with all the effort their feet and legs can muster. Beagles come too close, bunny will jump into an old stone wall, woodchuck hole or whatever is convenient.

* ♦ ♦Short legged beagles sire pre­

ferred by many hunters for the reason they cannot run as fast Eis one with longer legs. Wild

1 creatures have homes. There­fore, when a hound chases a bimny the rabbit starts straight away. But it soon turns and comes back to the place from which it started. So if the hunt­er stands still after starting a bunny, it will come bade to him with the beagle soimding behind it singing like a brass band in a parade. When the well-sung rab­bit arrives, it is shot. This can continue aU day. A bunny would be lost outside the home i>atdi.

* * *But a bunny is not dumb. Peter

knows many tricks to fool men and hoimds. Ife may double back, jump on a fallen log, freeze into a lump, swim a firozen stream, take.refuge in a briar patd i where doubling back and forth will fool any dog except one with long ex­perience. Peter has not spent his life in the wild without learning more than a tame dog.

« « •’ Peter fives his life in peril T o ^ y a faound and himter, tcanor- irow a fox or a bobcat, or, worst of all, a weasel whicdi will follow into the thick brambles.. Pred­ators k e ^ the cottontail popula­tion crastan t Witíiout th a n the Catsldlls would be a sea of rab­bits, all vegetation devoured, man driven out.

* * *Tiie white rabbit or varying

hare is a far different creature than the cottontail. He is larger, faster, smarter. He does not “hole up” but will run all day. A sm art hunter and a clever dog are need­ed-to take him in the wild. Scarce jfor many yeairs, he is coming bade.

- He changed his brown coat to «a warm whit? one recently. The wild calendar told him when to change. The white camouflage is icomplete except black eyes and dark ear tips. Big matted feet allow him to run the forest when most creatures bog down in the snow, like an enemy, the bobcát. These, by the way, are also more jdentiful than for years.

“: ♦ * »H ie jsnowdioe is the fellow^^for

5

whom was written, “ Mad as a March Hare.” He greets spring with willd courtship rites. Males battle furiously and chase the females in wild forays. When danger comes the big hind legs give a thvunp warning.

* ♦ *Varying hares fluctuate in

cycles. They may be numerous oneyear, scarce the next. They are excellent game cratures which live well toward moimtain tops. They groom their coats in the same manner as cats, enjoy dust baths in the sumer and have many tricks hidden in the great hind legs to fool man and other pred- tors.

Mrs. Richard Miller of Marga- retville went to Waterville to visit a sister and returned to Marga- retville. Mr. Miller found a pair of gleisses on the car hood the next day. Later the Millers learned that a Waterville lad had been playing near the car and put the glasses on the hood. Mrs. Miller started home before the boy returned. The glasses <»me all the way oh the car hood. They were returned by maü. Since this is not a car advertisement, I would not name the make.

Accompanying tíie carolers will be young canvassers who will take contributions for the hospi­tal. However, they will canvass only from those homes where a porch light is burning.

A fter the caroling, all the

groups will return to tiie Leg^cm hall, whére there will be hot chocolate and doug^uts served by members of the Legion Auxü- iary.

The number of groups caroling wUl depend on the number of volunteers. Persons interested may contact Rev. A rthur Kopp. Young persons from 8 to 12 are also n e^ed for the canvassing.

Three Arenson Pictures on Exhibit

Three M intings by Marvin Arenson of Bellmore, L. L, son of Mr. and Mrs. Abe Arenson of

Drivers willing to furnish trucks may contact Burton Van Scoy, who is in charge of decorations.

Margaretvilie, were dedicated in the synagogue of Templé Beth-El of Bellmore a t the 10th anniver­sary celebration of the temple on Nov. 25.

Each mural depicts a different subject of Jewish content. They are titled “And the Bush Was Not Consumed,” “And God Said, ‘L^t There Be Light’,” and "Ani-Ma- Ameen, Coming of the Messiah.”

They are the first of their kind, other than realism, to be accept­ed in a temple. The observer feels,. rather than sees, the sub­ject matter.

Mr. Arenson has exhibited his work at the state capitoL One of his psdntings has been selected to be part of the permanent collec­tion a t the new state museum in Albany.
