Last year coons broke up one

way to tell whether they are
natives or wild ones that
passed up the long trip to
Canada in favor Of the easy
life on the little pond where
there is plenty Of corn to eat
Just for climbing the bank.
The refuge also has three
wild turkeys and Smack hopes
that a pair is nesting now
The turkeys feed along with
the ducks and geese on corn
in the fenced-off area border
ing the pond. But they are far
from pets. A couple was feeding
there, but as soon as our car
turned in the gate they took
off for the brush so fast one
could hardly follow them.
Smack's effort to keep his
pets almost landed him in
trouble with both the Federal
and State game wardens. He
leases the land where the ref
uge is located, and has a few
blinds for goose shooting on
several points Of marsh land
that jut out into Chincoteague
Bay.
Dim View by Wardens
The Federal men took q dim
view Of the live geese swimming
in the pond during hunting
season and also the fact that
a field close by the pond had
been planted in grain. They
charged that this constituted
batting and also using live
geese as decoys.
Smack contended that his
nearest blind was more than a
mile from both the field and
the pond.
That might be-" one Of the
game wardens told him, "but
you've got one foot in Federal
court right now"
Smack believes he could have
made his point stick had he
taken the case to court, but
he finally yielded. As a com.
promise he bundled up his
geese and ducks and took them
over to a neighbor's farm that
was far enough away to satisfy
the wardens. They remained
there for the hunting season
Then he got a Federal per-
NIT to raise waterfowl and this
year will avoid any complica-
tons with the law by keeping
the geese and ducks under q
covered pen during the shoot
ing season.
Those Federal boys didn't
overlook anything once they
got on me-" Smack said. 1.-TWO
OF them spent an entire day
digging with a rake in the
shallow water around my blinds
trying to turn up corn. O1
course, they never found any
thing.
But I didn't mind. They've

 Zoo officials said the 125-pound black leopard swiped Tuttle's face with it's paw - ripping into the jugular vein.
 Several visitors to the world famed San Diego zoo witnessed the attack.

18th Century Sailors Termed Much Better

NEW YORK R - Bob Marx, 29, the only American among the nine-member crew that sailed the Nina II close copy of the smallest of Christopher Columbus discovery ships - across the At iantic, says maybe sailors were better in the 18th Century. The original Nina completed the jour ney in 70 days. The 4O-foot Nina II took IF days.
 However, Marx said here the crew of the Nina II had bad luck, encountering severe storms and losing it's fresh vegetables and fruits and even its fresh water supply. Probably the greatest edge Columbus had on us," Marx said, was that he really didn't know where he was going so he had no reason to worry he was off course"
