Use for Copperheads Found in Hidden Hills

them az a subject Of converse
tion since their poisonous pres
ence has been publicized by you,
Mr.. Virginius Dabney of Rich
mond, and possibly other editors
of Southern newspapers.
Whatever the answer, we
have become more watchful of
eye, more cautious of step, and
ready with the scythe, the hoe,
or any other weapon of defense.
Furthermore we have adopted a
healthy mental approach to the
snake menace.
"As we have to live with them,
and certainly cannot learn to
love them, we have revived an
old Indian custom. We remem-
bered reading that the early In
dians buried a fish in each hill
of corn for fertilizer, SO we have
coiled a dead snake around the
roots of most of our rose bushes.
The roses have been unusually
pretty this year, and most
prolific in bloom. Thus we con-
gratulate ourselves on having
made the i'll wind blow good.

Mrs. Carter in Massachusetts,

Mrs. H. D. Carter is visiting
relatives in Holyoke, Hunting
ton, and Williamstown, Mass.
She recently flew from Pitts
burgh, Pa, to Springfield, Mass,
after having spent six weeks
visiting her sons in Pittsburgh
and in Washington, d. C. She
expects to return here in about
five weeks.
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1949-07-08

Whoever said a good word for
copperheads? So far as ] know,
nobody was ever heard to. That
is, till now. But now, as. the fol-
lowing letter reveals, these
poisonous snakes are proving
useful to some of the residents
of Hidden Hills, the Chapel Hill
suburb that you reach by turn
ing to the left just after you
cross the one-mile bridge on the
highway to Durham.
| don't mean so useful that
the people down there would
rather have them around than
not. The population would much
prefer to have no copperheads
at all. What / mean is that, if
you assume that the copper
heads have got to be there, their
hatefulness is mitigated to q
small degree by the use to which
they are being put.
Abiding to the articles about
copperheads that have been
published recently in this paper,
Mrs. r. j. Murphy writes from
Hidden Hills:
Since ! moved to a wooded
section just outside the Chapel
Hill town limits, have found
myself playing hostess to cop
perheads.
4 was not surprised to read
in your paper of the two stu
dents finding the copperhead
deep in a wood on a botanical
jaunt, but great was my surprise
to find one, the very week after
reading that account, in my side
yard. My husband killed this
one and found that it measured
38 inches in length. Two weeks
later our yard man cut another
one in half with a scythe as he
cleaned out some tall weeds at
the edge of the front yard. This
secof1d SNAKE measured IS
inches, and we believed it to be
the mate of the first one we had
killed. About that time we ran
over a small snake in the road
leading to the house, and an
examination of the head and
fangs proved it to be of the
same poisonous variety.
"The neighbors tell equally
blood-curdling stories of seeing
or destroying large copperheads
on their premises. These are not,
please bear in mind, deep in
wooded ravines, or on rocky iso-
lated hillsides, nor yet in heavy
underbrush- their natural habi-
tat-but have been seen in
moved yards and close to dwell
ings.
1T makes one wonder why
this situation exists. Are there
more copperheads abroad this
year, and if this is the case, why
are they becoming so domesti-
Gated, so desirous of the close
cropped lawn, the paved drive

PRAYER FOR The new YEAR
BY ST. FRANCIS OF ASSIST

Even though st. Francis prayer
was written 100 years ago It ex-
presses simply and beautifully. a
way Of life for our times = and
for all time.
Lord, make me an instrument
of Thy peace. Where there Is
hatred, let me sow love. Where
there Is injury, pardon. Where
there is doubt, faith. Where there
is dIspair, hope. Where there is
darkness, light. Where there's sad
ness. Joy.
20 Divine Master, grant that
| may not so much seek to be
consoled az to console; to be
understood, as to understand; to
be loved, as to love; for 1t Is In
giving that we receive. 1t ls In
pardonine that we are pardoned,
and IT Is in dying that we are
born TO Eternal Life"
OF all the selections published
in This Week. none brought as
great a response as this simple
prayer. The following letter Is
typical:

SENTENCE SERMONS
BY Rev. Frank Clarence Lowry
For AMP

BY Kew. FRANK clarence Lowry
For AMP
Q. The things you don't care
to have appear, you had better
not do, for they are sure to
smear.
8. Since no one is responsible
for what you do out of sight,
then there is no one but you to
blame when your dark spots come
to light.
4. Life is like an indelible
pencil - 1t has smooth finish,
but to erase a mistake, there re-
mains blamish.
5. A typewriter has no intelli-
gence but a lot of keys; like your
life it only reflects what you
strike, at your ease.
8. Good intentions alone, never
wrought any inventions nor
brought a man or woman any
nearer to Gods throne.
Z. Ones thoughts, by the world
are not realized until placed in
motion and materialized
5. Thoughts can make or break
any man, but unwholesome deeds
do the most damage in our land.
8. After one has done his talk
ing, the folks begin to look around
to see in what direction he is
walking.
10. He who thinks that life is
only eating and sleeping, get
ting and not giving. is only help
ing his adversary to arrange his
final trimming.
IL. Such persons as these would
not have the other fellow to know
his thoughts to be so shallow,
thus he becomes a bigger hyp-
ocrite by trying to pretend to the
other fellow.
IL. There are still lot of
foolish men and women in the
world today who take up more
of life's precious hours talking
about ''fifths." than of the Heaven
ly Fathers eternal gifts.

Auto Shoots Automatic
Pencil Point Into Woman

CHICAGO-(ANP)-Mrs Katy
Johnson, 80, is convinced that
there are many more ways of be-
ing shot than by gun. AS a
matter of fact, she knows that 1t
is possible to be shot by an in
genious contrivance made up Of
an automobile and an automatic
pencil.
Mrs. Johnson paused at the
corner of busy intersection here
to let an automobile pass. AS It
went by, she felt a sharp pain in
her left hip. Rushed to the coun-
ty hospital. she learned that the
tip of an automatic pencil, found
buried in her hip, had caused the
pain.
demonstrating the odd chain Of
events, she found that the car
had run over the pencil and the
pressure of the tire had thrown
the point out with the force of a
small caliber pistol.
