MORE PELT HANDLING
HINTS FOR TRAPPERS

After the experienced trapper has
washed the fur and slit up the backs
OF animals hind legs to base of - tail.
ne follows these steps:
For "cased" pelts, hang carcass by
hind feet, and peel skin downward from
body, like pulling off sock. Diagram
IL Work right along with a good sharp
knife to remove pelt, keeping polt as free
offlesh and fatas possible while skinning.
Be careful around nose, ears and eyes.
After skinning Diagram p, slip the
"cased'' pelt loosely over the scraping
board, fv-side-in: and with dull edge,
such as an old knife or sharpened lath
-scrape skin from head to tail. Remove
all surplus fat and flesh, but don't scrape
too close. Shift the pelt around on the
scraping board. In that way, you will
never be scraping along edge of board.
Diagram 3 shows the beginning of
open" handling. Beaver, Raccoon or
Badger pelts.) Slit pelt down center Of
belly from mouth to tail; also, down
back of hind legs and inside front legs.
Never cut off heads, or slit up back.
Stretch "open" pelts by lacking them
on a wall or board with fur side toward
the board, exposing the flesh side to the
air. diagram A.

The Herald:
Just got the Herald tonight
and being up here in the office
where everything is handy, l
thought 1 would drop you a few
lines expressing my deepest
thanks for the little hometown
paper.
It's one of the most welcome
things I get, and does it cheer
and make q fellow feel happy to
read of the doin's of his home
town folks! | should say it does.
l take the Herald and read every
item in it, including the ads. Not
one bit of news escapes my eye.
Misses LOnZO
Say, what happened to Lonzo
md his rhyming news? l enjoy
ed it so much and all the boys
here in the office thought it was
about the most original thing in
news reporting they had ever
seen. One Teller from New York
City says to me every week af-
ter | have read my paper, Lets
take a look at my favorite paper.
Bill" He reads every thing in it.
Most of these big city boys say
they wish they could have been
reared in a town like our own.
Me? | wouldn't give up the small
town, small-town folks and
small-town paper for all the big
cities in the u S A
From What Gen. Gillem said
Of us men of the desert, we must
be tough. He said we were the
toughest and hardest contingent
of the U S Army. Maybe we
are I have the feeling we have
become used to hard knocks and
can take life as "she" comes
since we weathered the two hard
est, toughest, hottest months OF
I've ever heard Of.
When we first got here they
said the desert would make us
or kill us. It hansn't killed any
cf US. So we must be tough. Any
man who could stand the daily
beating down of the hottest sun
ever, and who could stand the
dust with no more water than
enough to wet the throat, is a
tough fellow.
You should have seen US two

"a SHOWS THIS WINTER?

A news item from Wise says
that considerable snow fell there
Tuesday, the Oath, and that OLD
time weather prognosticators
around Wise solemnly declared
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1942-12-03

BROWN as Indians or Mexicans.
I'm telling you I wouldn't have
traded the experience for any
thing in the world.
Anyone who says it doesn't get
hot on the desert is story tell
er, and anyone who says it does
not get cold on the desert, the
truth is not in him. l wouldn't
have believed it till l actually
was here and saw and felt it. The
nights get so cold that four army
blankests aren't enough to keep
you warm, plus your "long hand
les" or wooden underwear.
Water, good old precious wat
er! The boys surely know how to
appreciate good old acqua. But
does it get cold now! Our show
ers haven't any heating system
and we have to take it or leave
it. I think some of the boys are
leaving it from the looks of some
of them. 1t really takes a stout
heart to brave the cold chill of
that water striking your bare
flesh. Myself, I am sort of skit-
fish of getting under at once l
take my wash cloth and standing
at arms length I wet the cloth
and drip water on my frame I'M
til I get tempered to it. Then
when I am soaped up pretty fair
I jump under and before 1 get
out my breath is nearly gone.
But at the end she begins to feel
warmer and a fellow likes it, but
Oh, getting enough nerve to
jump under.
Sure would like to come back
to Clintwood and walk down
Main Street on down to your
print shop. I get more enjoyment
out of just loafing with my old
friends of the print shop than
anything else. Never was much
for society. l guess the army has
found that out, for l have turn
ed down many, many invites to
some of these u S O socials. |
Maybe being married makes me
that way. or maybe l was born
that way.
That picture of the scrap heap
in front Of the Mountain Theatre
in this issue of The Herald sure
is gratifying to my eyes. Shows
us fellows in the service that our
people are, as we say here in the
army, pretty much on the ball"
Ill close now, wishing your
paper all the success in the
world, and also hoping it gets
here on time, as it has in the
past.
Your friend and reader
Technical Sgt. Bill B. French. |
