Snake Troubles?
Gef a Mongoose
Taking a trip to India? Want
to be safe from snakes? Here is
sure-fire formula; get your
self a mongoose, make a pet of
it, and snakes will shun your
doorstep.
This interesting fact was
brought out by Mr. William S.
Willett in a national assembly
on December 12.
Mr. Willett, who lived in In
dia for a period of six years,
has had many interesting ex
periences in the jungles of In
dia. Mr. Willett told of many of
the animals of the jungles of
India such as the tiger, the
mongoose, the cobra, and the
water buffalo.
With the help of Babs Man
tor, Mr. Willett showed the stu
dents how an Indian princess
dresses. Babs modeled the In
dian princess' clothing.
Mr. Willett displayed many
curios from India, and gave a
brief description of each.
