Boa Constrictor Roaming
Colorado Plateau Country
fasti Rnck. Colo.. Mar. 21
(II Pi Ranchers of this high alti
tude cattleland were convinced
todav that a tropical Boa con
stridor is roaming their range-
lands,
One was pretty sure that the
boa, which kills by crushing its
victim in its coils, had atiacKea
nnp of his cows.
The ranchers were pretty cer
tain of how the boa arrived from
the tropical Jungles to the wild
west.
Eteanad From Truck
A boa was among several tro
pical snakes that escaped three
years ago when the menagerie
trnrk nf a trave ine carnival
were Involved in a collision near
here.
No one took time to look for
the snattes since it was oeneveu
that they couldn't live for more
than a couple of days in the sub
zoro temperatures and arid con
ditions of the high plateaus.
But, the ranchers said today,
the boa apparently survived.
"How any tropical snake could
live at an altitude of close to
7.000 feet is fantastic," said
Rancher Norman Smith. "But
there definitely is a boa constric
tor here and its on my place."
Wide Track Seen
Smith said he has seen a four
Inch wide track In several
places on his land. He and his
ranch hands tried to follow the
marks but couldn't find the
snake's hiding place, he said.
Sheriff John Hammond said a
rond worker told him he saw
the constrictor crawling through
the sandy loam near whpre the
highway crew was working re
cently. The road man said the
snake was "about six Inches in
Saucer Mystery Talk
Subject At Meeting
The mystery of the flying
saucers was ''cleared up" by
Manville Heiscl, Medford attor
ney, at a meeting of the Medford
Toastmastcrs club here Inst
night.
Leaving technical terminology
to the scientists, Heisel said his
theory Is that the "ghosts" in the
atmosphere are four-dimensional,
and he pictured a cone which
disappeared through "recession"
rather than flight, giving an il
lusion of motion.
Other speakers Included Rich
ard House, who bewailed the
tendency toward regimentation:
Cliff Oulett, who spoke on the
gradual disintegration of consti
tutional rights: Jim I.andgon,
speaking on "Spring Is Spning."
and Henry McCullough, discuss
ing the "Egg and I."
E. T. Hamilton, deputy gov
ernor of the Toastmastcrs Port
land district, was a guest.
Easter Seal Drive
Progress Satisfies
The first week of the annual
Easter Seal sale of the Oregon
Society for Crinnled Children
and Adults has been "most sat
isfactory," Jesse Ropenhaum,
LaGranrie, soclctv president, has
advised Mrs. C. B. Partch, Med
ford, Jackson county chairman.
Rosenbaum said statewide re
sults "are such as to give us
everv encouragement that the
society's program will be car
ried on without curtailment dur
ing the coming year." All coun
ties. Including Jackson, are meas
uring up to pre-campaign hopes,
he reported.
The society president urged
the 3ft county chairmen in the
state to "exert every effort dur
ing the next three weeks so that
the children's hospital school,
the craft shoo for the handl
rapned and other projects of the
Easter Seal agrnov can face the
future with confidence."

SHOPS AND THEATERS
diameter.
The snake drew considerable
attention after another rancher,
Ed Campbell, reported that one
of his cows suffered long gashes
in tne loose lotas ot us throat
last week.
The gashes, said Campbell,
could have been caused by the
constrictor.
Can Freesa Solid
"I'm not satisfied that it
wasn't," he said.
In Denver. Zoo Superinten
dent Clyde Hill said it was "un
reasonable" that a boa could sur
vive the winters in Colorado.
He admitted that "an alligator,
also a cold-blooded reptile, can
freeze up solid and then thaw
out."
