Child Who Survived
Bite Handles Snake
With Faith Cult
BY the Assoeioisd Press

HARLAN, KY, Oct. 13.-Snake
handlers from five States met near
here yesterday and staged q law
defying stand to pay tribute to L.
year-old Fay Nolan, who survived
a recent snake bite on her hand
without medical attention.
About so snake handlers, men,
bers of the Holiness Faith Healers,
exhausted their repertoire before an
audience estimated at 5000 "unbe-
levers"
Bruce Temple, editor of the Har-
Ian Enterprise. provided a graphic
account of the proceedings. Mr..
Temple said the snake handlers
busted their lips with what they
said was strychnine, prayed and
sang and administered a tongue
lashing to unbelievers.
When the assembly reached fever
pitch, Mr.. Temple related, about 20
snakes-rattlers and copperheads
confined in boxes-were carried to
a roped-of, arena shaped decline In
the Little Black Mountain near the
Virginia State line. Flaming torches
also were in evidence.
The snakes were released and
all the cultists handled them at
one time or another, Mr.. Temple
said. Little Fay Nolan herself took
rattler and allowed the snake to
wind about her neck as she chanted,
God be praised"
The snake-handlers came from
Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia,
West Virginia and North Carolina.
Mr.. Temple said no one appar-
emily was bitten.
Both Kentucky and Virginia have
laws forbidding handling of snakes
at religious ceremonies, but the
cultists were, not molested. Their
belief is that no harm can come
to them from the snakes because
of their faith.

On Ice Cream Hearinu

A request from the ice cream In
dustry for further postponement of

city heads. The group, headed by
j. Thomas Kennedy, superintendent
of weights, measures and markets,
held that the present method Of sale
by liquid measure docs not render
protection to the public against
sales by short measure"

To Discuss Town Hall

Launching movement to con.
struct town hall in Takoma Park
Nd, the Community League has an.
nounced it will request all. local or
ganizations to send representative
to the leagues March meeting tc
discuss the project.
Under tentative plans, the town
hall would house not only the town
Offices, but police headquarters, the
Takoma Park Public Library, the
Health and welfare Association an6
all organizations which now meet
in the municipal center.
Impetus was given to the propose,
this week when q movement was
reported to shift police headquarters
from Maple avenue to the municipal
center, where the league and Il
other groups now meet. The Health
and Welfare Association conducts
its clinics and other activities on the
first floor of the building al
8 Columbia avenue.
Sponsors of the plan have sug-
gested that the ground now occupied
by the municipal building would
make an excellent site for the new
town hall. Approximately $4,000
square feet Of land is available.
Proponents also contend that due
to the expense in remodeling part OF
the building, which is so years old
it would be wiser to build a new
center, large enough to care for TIN
recreational needs of the town. The
fire house, built in 1926, 1t was
asserted, is the only community
building available for public affairs
It also was pointed out that the
