Leisure Time Can
Become I iabilily
University Park, Pa. (U.R)
Leisure time can be a liability
unless it's spent constructively
on hobbies and other recrea
tional outlets, according to Fred
M. Coombs, professor of physical
education at Penn State.
For the first time in history,
the averages-worker in America
now has more leisure time than
working time, he said, adding:
"And this can lead to a degen
eration such as has befallen na
tions of the past which have
achieved great amounts of lei
sure time for their peoples."
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."

Extra Strength -
If your fields are tough for disking, take a look at the
good-work advantages you get in a John Deere "KB" or
"KC" Disk Harrow. Built with an extra margin of
strength and weight, these husky harrows combine
maximum penetration, long life, and extreme ease of
handling to give you the kind of performance you need.
Ideal for most heavy disking jobs, the "KB", with
regular disk spacing, is available' in sizes from 5- to
10-foot. For trashy or difficult stalk conditions, choose
the extra-heavy "KC", with wide disk spacings. Avail
able in 6- and 7-12-foot sizes. See us for further in

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

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.
