He recommended that persons with time on their hands interest themselves in hobbies, pref erably those calling for parti cipation. He particularly recom mended family hobbies and lei sure time activities because "the family thatslays together, stays together."

HUBBARD-IVRAY 25 South Riverside Avenue Music By Snake Charmers Has No Charm Washinton When snake charmers pipe their tremulous music to performing reptiles the only thing charmed may be the audience. However entertaining as showmanship, the tunes are lost on the snakes. Snakes are deaf, though they can receive vibra tions from the ground just as a person may hear an approch ing train by placing an ear to the track. The reptile's rhythmic sway ing thus is not in appreciation of the charmer's music but in imitation of his bodily move ments. An ordinary American black snake will behave sim ilarly if trained. Some Not So Deadly Snake charmers have perform ed in many lands since ancient times. Cobras are widely favored in the acts. Their deadly venom-one may secrete enough poison to kill a dozen persons sometimes is milked before performing. The handler makes his snake strike repeatedly on a piece of absorbent material until the venom is exhausted. Many charmers extract ' the fangs as a safeguard. Some use no precautions, and fatal bites have occurred. Among the es timated 40,000 persons around the earth who succumb annually to snake bites (most of them in Asia), snake charmers rank high. Primitive antidotes are . treas ured in the snake-charming busi ness. Charmers generally "smell out" snakes they have secretly planted. One practitioner in Egypt, claiming such powers, struck the ground with a sharp stick, emitted clucking sounds and blood-curdling commands in Arabic for the reptile to emerge from hiding. The serpent obliged by leaping at the charm er and sinking its fangs into his flowing coat sleeve. The en tertainer dexterously grabbed the snake and put it into a bas ket. In India many charmers are protectors of snakes. When cap tured the snakes are assured of respectful treatmtnt and of release on a certain day at the spot- where they were taken. Their services are rewarded with ceremonial thanks. A swami living near Jind in the Punjab reportedly is the czar of Indian snake charmers. His numerous duties include the cer tifying of qualified practitioners, assigning areas where snake charmers may work and adju Idaho Earth Slide Kills One, 14 Rescued Wallace, Ida. (U.R) Tim Spencer, 10, was killed early to day when a huge earth - slide thundered dowri a narrow can yon just north of here and buried five homes. Rescue workers found the boy's battered body under a davenport in the home on High way 2 about five miles north of here. Only minutes earlier, workers rescued LeRoy Bee, 10, who was buried alive 'for nearly three hours. He was brought to a hos pital here where attendants said his condition was "good." Thirteen other persons were rescued from the buried homes and police said it was believed all were now accounted for. At tendants at the hospital here said the 13 suffered only minor injuries and exposure. Some were released after treatment. The slide, a quarter of a mile 'wide, apparently was triggered by rains and warming tempera tures. Deep Penetration To Snakes dicating controversies. Many False Notions Snakes have left trails of no tions throught the world. Often regarded as silmy creatures, "they actually are cool and dry to the touch. No snake has a poisonous breath, despite a belief express ed for thousands of pears. A stricken snake does not wait until sundown to die The often noticeable quivering of a dead reptile is muscular reflex. Snakes don't sting their prey with forked tongues. The tongue is an organ useful mainly in smelling. Bites . are , inflicted with fangs. - " . ' Equally' false is the notion that some snakes' tails bear a poi sonous spine. Not even the rat tler can boast such equipment. College Education On Installment Plan Erie, Pa. U.R) Americans, accustomed to buying anything from engagement rings to the family car on credit, can get a college education on the install ment plan now too. Gannon College here reports that its "no-down-payment, pay- as-you-go" plan of financing a college education has been met with considerable success. Since the program was put into effect four years ago, more than 600 young men have gone through Gannon, by borrowing their tuition through an arrange ment with the Bank of Erie at an interest rate of $1.33 per $100 for four-month period. The loans are made without definite collateral, although at least one parent of an under-age student is required to sign the note. Payments are made month ly from wages earned by the students in part-time jobs. The school said it started the plan because many talented young men were losing their chances at college educations as a result of financial difficulties. The bant fell in with the idea, not with an eye on the meager financial gains, but with the idea of community spirit and build ing friendship and good-will. Kellogg Not To Build Wax Plant in Oregon Salem U.R) Dwight Phipps, Oregon state forester, said to day he had received a telegram from the M. W. Kellogg com pany, Jersey City, N.J., an nouncing that the company had decided not to build a proposed Oregon plant to produce wax from the bark of douglas fir trees.
