Jonsrud Girls
Enjoy Pet Snake
George, the boa, can’t
truthfully be called the new
est member of the Jonsrud
family. He would be a mem
ber of the family, say Laurie
and Leslie, if father Phil could
find more warmth in his heart
for fat little snakes.
Phil insists that no snake is
going to sleep in his house, so
poor George makes his home
in an aquarium on the back
porch. The aquarium is well
wrapped in blankets and a fur
coat, but Laurie and Leslie
feel that he often shivers on
these unspringlike nights.
. George was discovered by
Leslie in the field beside the
Jonsrud home and he is never
happier than when coiled con
tentedly around his young mis
tress’ wrist or ankle.
How to pick up $450
The West Coast Telephone Company
has 94 million dollars invested in
equipment for the 200,(XX) phones we
serve. So, when you pick up your
phone you’re calling on about $450
plus the services of our 1900 people.

George, the boa, loves being a bracelet for Leslie Jonsrud.
Called a “rubber boa,” although he is very much alive,
George and his tribe are quite rare, being found only in the
Sandy-Estacada area. Sometimes sister Laurie, on left, gets
(Sandy Post photo)
to wear George.
George Is Strong
His back is brown, his belly
yellow, and there’s nothing
slimy about George. He feels
much like a snakeskin slipper.
When one gathers the stamina
to pick him up, he surprises
his holder with the strength in
his fat (for a snake) round
body. He is probably three
times the diameter of the av
erage garter snake.
George is much admired by
Leslie’s friends and spends the
week at Sandy elementary
school. Sometimes he goes to
Laurie’s room for a visit.
His only food, as far as is
known, is live mice, but he
has not eaten since Leslie
found him. Like the larger boas,
he squeezes his 'n^al” to
death, than swallows it. He can
go for as long as three months

Laurie and Leslie Jonsrud pulled a disgruntled George off
Leslie's wrist just to prove that he really is a live snake.
Leslie found him in field by her home.
