HARDIN
SCHOOL NEWS

Although it was greeted by
some gasps and shoulders on
the part of the audience of
high school and junior high
students, the performance given
in the Junior High gym on the
morning of November 8 was one
of the most enjoyed and most
educational to be presented
here by National School As
semblies in recent years.
The lecturer was D. Jay Mel
son in his program Reptiles of
North America. Mr.. Nelson had
with him living specimens-in-
Guiding a sizable alligator-in
glass cages. In handling these
pets, he was assisted by his
wife.
Two of the snakes were of poi
SonouS kinds, a Gila monster and
a cotton-mouth water mocc-
aSin. Mr.. Nelson told his aud
fence that he did not de-fang
his poisonous snakes, because
such treatment kills them. He
said that they are not likely to
bite after they become well
treated pets. When he and the
mOccaSin were new acquaint-
ances, it did bite him; and he
explained that since that first
nip immunized him he now has
little to fear. He handled it
and also the ella monster.
He showed all of his snakes,
while recounting much enter
tanning snake lore. A twelve
foot boa constructor, captured by
him in Central America, is now
in the st. Louis Zoo. AS a be-
ginner in the handling of rep
tiles, he Cnce was care-taker for
the large alligator which used
to appear in the "Tarzan" NOV
les. He gave a demonstration of
how to capture an alligator.
With the aid of Richard Row.
land, a high school senior who
volunteered from the audience,
Nelson gave a lesson in how to
treat snake bite. He assured his
listeners that snakes are not
so poisonous as is ordinarily
supposed. Only one out of so
promptly treated bites proves
fatal. He thinks that about half
of the victims die of fright.
At a meeting of the football
squad on Nov. 7, Ken Fox was
elected captain for this year.

ice HARVEST IS
Hit BY WARMTH
Perry Fisheries Cut and Store
800 Tons Before Ice
Breaks Up

Ice harvesting at the Perry
Fisheries, Locust Point, was
brought to an abrupt ending this
week when warmer weather con-
ditions melted the ice before the
large ice house could be filled.
Workers had to rush the pro
ject as the ice lasted less than
10 days. Nearly 800 tons of ice
was taken from the carp pond
at the Perry grounds and has
been stored in the ice house.
While ice harvesting was an
important winter project during
winter months years ago, only
the Perry Fisheries now harvests
natural ice to be used in packing
and shipping fish next summer.
Other commercial users now use
artificial ice.
In days gone by, the ice har-
vest provided employment for a
large number Of men during the
winter months and carloads of
ice would be shipped to inland
markets for commercial users.
