During one of my visits to Florida I saw some colored boys feeding snakes porcelain counter- feits. No doubt the snakes took them for real eggs. Anyway. they swallowed them and the boys told me afterwards that the snakes never died.

One of the chief vegetable foods of the natives of New Zealand is very poisonous until treated by them in the following manner: The bean of the “tinda-burra" is steeped in water for several days, and dried in the sun. roasted in hot aslies and pounded into a sort of flour. By soaking the beans for I few days in water the natives convert a poisonous vege- table lnto a valuable food that tastes like tapioca.

Ever hear of “wild dynamite?" No? Well. when the supply of fish bait runs out among the blacks of Australia they simply toss into the shallow parts of the water a creeping plant which so stupifies the fish that they actu- ally comc floating to the surface belly up.

The natives call this strange plant “pagg-arra." and the botan- ists —Derrls Scar-idens.

It used to be believed that the rainbow's end rested on the earth and anyone who found the place would'also find there a bag of gold. Hence the phrase. "He found the pot of gold at the rain- bow‘s end."

Even to-day among some North Queensland blacks the legend is accepted as ii fact, because the wonderful sky bow seems to spring from the Island of Bcdarra and arch itself over the Great Barrier Reef.

Fables Islde. our red fox is I very interesting creIture. and his reputation for outamarting man is well earned and lndisput ble. Only last winter I saw two West Royalty fox-hunters trudging through the light Incw trying to head of! Reynard, which. appear- ed to be ‘ieading for I point of land in the West River where he could cross the stream to the op- posite shore.

The hunters had guessed wrong. for all the time Mr. Fox was fol- lowing in their footsteps It I safe distance, while the hounds. baffled and out-smarted. bayed disappointedly from a clump of bushes half I mile down the riv- er.

Following in the tracks of hunt- era is one of ReynIrd's ace cards. A few years ago I farmer of my acquaintance was amazed to see I fox standing on its hind legs in order to look through I crack into the hen house. The farmer rushed for his gun but Reynard dodged behind I corner of the building and keeping it be- tween himself arid the gun made his escape.

When followed too close the fox will make I great leap to one side and start of! in I new direction or sometimes it will go back in its own tracks to fool the dogs.

Any person who has hunted these animals will tell you they are gifted with a degree of shrewdness beyond anything they have been credited with.

Junior Red Cross Members to Meet In Woliville, ll. 8.

Another large group of high school students from many points in the Atlantic Provinces, plus I dozencr so “outside" guests. will combine serious business with I goodly measure of pleasure this summer, in order to become fully versed in the program provided for their age-bracket by the Junior Red Cross.

These are the boys and girls who will be selected soon to attend the second annual "Atlantic Prov- inces High School Junior Red Cross Leadership Training Centre", to be held at Acadia University, Wolf- ville, N. 5, July 6 to 15, inclus- lve.

As the name of the project in- dicates its purpose is to produce leaders to spark the formation of more high school branches or the junior society in Atlantic Prov- lnces communities, and to stimulate greater interest and participation where such branches already exist. To this end, I schedule is now being formulated which will enable those attending to absorb as much information. and to put as many projects into actual practice, as to intensive days of work and fun will permit.

An innovation this year, it has been announced. will be the attend- ance at the centre of six Canadian juniors en route to Europe, where they will tIlia part in an inter- national training centre to be con- ducted later in the summer It the Share Youth Centre. Flamslatt, Sweden. One of them is Suzanne I-"rIneeI. Charlottetown. P. E. 1.. who Ittended last years initial Atlantic Provinces centre It Mount Allison University, Sackvllle, N. B.

Arrangements for the 1954 event are under the supervision of Mim Elizabeth 0. R. Browne. Halifax. director of the Junior Red Cross in Nova Scotia. who has also re- vealed that last years “electlve" plan had been dropped in favor of

I rotative system of participation,

by Ill delegates in all Activities. The latter. generally similar to those which comprised such In lnterutlng. all-round syllabus last summer, will be enumerated inter this month.

The “main contingent" will be made up of 20 girls and boys from Nova Scotia, 20 from New Bruns- wick and to each from Prince Ed- ward Island and Newfoundland. 1 addition, there will be six guea from the Province of Quebec In four from the United States. along with the six chosen from Is many povinoea to represent the Canad- ian Junior Red Cross in Sweden.

Miss Browne will serve as Isolat- ant director with I staff which will also include provincial directors of the junior society from the other provinces and two field workers. The centre's director. to be appoint- ed on the recommendation of Nova Scotla's department of education. and various program leaders. will be named in the near future.
