Jimmy Henry, 16, OF Anacostia
High School has a friend from
whom even the mighty Tarzan
might learn a thing or two.
AS every reader Of The Stars
comics knows, the famous lord Of the
jungle is constantly overcoming
enemies-armed men as we'll as
powerful beasts-with his bare
hands. Only under the most des-
perate circumstances does he resort
to the use Of a weapon, and then
1t is nothing more formidable than
q knife. II this little gadget is
deadly, 1t is only because the ape
mans extraordinary cunning and
skill make 1t so.
But could Tarzan kill a lightning
fast rabbit with q quick toss Of
club?
Well, he never has, to my knowl-
edge. And Jimmy's friend can-and
did.
"One night last December, It
started to snow" Jimmy recalls.
Now, to me, the snow had special
meaning, because I knew my father
was in the mood to go rabbit
hunting. He likes to hunt in the
snow: he knows it's much easier to
get rabbits then. He and I both
think that three people make the
best kind Of hunting party. so we
invited a friend to go with us"
The friend surprised Jimmy and
his father by showing up without
gun. He said he could do much
better with a club" Jimmy explains.
MY father and I thought he was
crazy"
They still thought so after they
had bagged their first rabbit. Their
friend had tried to use his club, but
the animal would have escaped If
Jimmy hadn't scored a ull's-eye
with his gun.
With the next rabbit. however, the
Henrys' friend did better.
He killed the rabbit caveman
style" Jimmy writes. And my
father, not having any luck with his
gun, decided to try the club. He
got one rabbit this way and had
good chance to get two more; but
he was inexperienced with the club,
and missed both shots"
The friend did much better, how
ever. "All told" Jimmy summarizes,
I'VE got 10 rabbits, and S of them
hadn't been shot" Which means
that while the Henrys were noisily
thew friend was bringing down four
wiaa quiet but deadly throws of his
club.
