Those were the days of the
touring" car and the open road
ster, both without heaters. A
well-furred pelt at that time would
bring $1,000, today-a dollar would
be a very good price. The same
is true of the red and gray fox
hide. The red fox would bring
$1,000 to $500, the gray $4.O0
to 500; today these pelts are
hardly worth the skinning out.
The only two of the early ami
mails which are of value today are
the lproific muskrat and the dark
mink. The pelt value of these two
animals has actually increased ov-
er the years; the pelts are utilized
for purposes of looks and style
only.
Deer which did complete fade
away for many years are increas-
ing quite well; it is illegal to kill
buck or a doe in Montgomery
County. Not over a month ago
This writer observed a buck and
doe of the Whitehall variety on
Seldon's Island, four and pne-half
miles above Seneca; a few have
been noted at various times on
neighboring Van Deventer Island.
On these wild, heavily wooded
iclandS thora iS an ob,,ndapco of
the deer's natural food, and they
will, no doubt, do very will in
these out-of-the-way places.
There are, of course, no wolves
in Montgomery County, at least
the four-legged variety, OCCASION
ally a wildcat is observed; the
panther has long ago given up the
ghost. The same is true of the
martin, highly priced fur.
Flora has been lavish in the
beauty and variety other gifts;
.he valley is redolent with the
smell of azaleas, magnolias, rho
dodendron, kalmias, orchids, asst
ers, sunflowers, viburnums, spir-
aeas, dogwoods and tulips. Along
the old Chesapeake and Ohio Ca
nal are to be found almost un-
countable numbers of fragile and
beautiful wildflowers, most not
able of which are blue and yellow
phlox. Canterbury Bells, Trail

Keys, joined the Army in August
1949. After 16 weeks training at
Fort Knox, he. went to Korea in
January 1850. After receiving a
leg wound he left Korea in Sep
tember 1851 and was stationed in
the States. He also spent some
time in Germany.
After receiving his discharge in
June, he reenlisted in the same
month for six years. Following a
short training period he hopes for
some duty in Japan.

Ancient Flora and Fauna

AHCIeuL lOTd anu duHd
Indigenous to Montgomery County
1t is not generally known and
almost unacceptable of belief that
the great American elephant once
roamed over the fertile valleys of
Montgomery County.
Deer were plentiful and were
the principal food of the pre-con-
tact American Indians, while the
elk, caribou, black bear, gray
wolf, panther, wildcat, gray and
red foxes, raccoon, muskrat, mink,
marten, weasel, rabbit, ground
hog, skunk, fox squirrel, gray
squirrel, flying squirrel, chip
nlunk, mole, star-nosed mole,
white-footed mouse, jumping g
mouse, the hoary and two other
kind of bats, the great river otter
and beaver flourished in large
numbers.
Quite a few of these animals
are nearly extinct, notably the elk,
caribou, bear, wolf and beaver.
The beaver, long protected by
wise legislation in nearby Penn
sylvania, is making a strong
comeback. The Maryland otter,
once thought to be completely ex-
tinct, is slowly increasing in
numbers in the Potomac River
valley area between Great Falls
and Seneca, a number of them be-
ing trapped each season.
Probably the greatest animal
population increase in this section
is the phenomenal comeback of the
raccoon. This elusive little noe
turnal animal, for years protected
against trapping and hunted al
most entirely by the old fashioned
pot licking, long-eared, bugle-
voiced 'coonhound, in spite of the
dearth of fox and chicken grapes
and the entire loss of chestnuts,
is quite plentiful in almost all
sections of Montgomery County.
The low price of the 'coon's fur
is solely responsible for its in
crease. In the roaring EOS the
raccoon's pelt was highly priced
for the making of coats, being
worn almost exclusively by college
boys and girls.
