OF ALL THE ODD HOBBIES we
have run across, perhaps Arthur
Badertscher's is the strangest. He
told us recently when we were talking
about sparetime hobbies that he "lik-
ed to play with his bones" Arthur
was speaking, of course, of the rattle
bones he uses to beat out rhythm with
to accompany the old Swiss songs
familiar to the people gof this area.
He has performed several times on
Swiss Day including the celebration
just past.
Rhythm with rattle bones was
once as typically Swiss as the
yodel, which ARTHUR also does,
but it is understood that rafting
bones is becOmingfa lost art in
Switzerland as it has in this
country.
Badertscher's bones are cow ribs
carefully prepared by cooking and
properly drying. They must be cut
to certain lengths and be just the
proper size in diameter for good
rattling. Screen bones," says Arthur
"are no good"
