Handling a squirming, scaly five-foot alligator is an old story to Connecticut-born Florida rancher, Frank Weed, this fall making his eighth consecutive | annual visit to Prince Edward Island. \ *

An ex-marine, a TV star, and | a pistol expert, the lanky Sou- therner, a confirmed devotee of upland game _ hunting, first came to the province several years ago to take part in the field trials that year. He liked what he saw so well he has come back every fall since.

On two occasions his attrac- tive blonde wife, Ellen accom- panied him.

EVERGLADES RESIDENT

The Weeds, who live on a mile- square ranch located in the heart of the Florida Everglades, are real outdoors types and Mr. and Mrs. Weed and their two children, Frank, Jr.: and Gary, have been featured at sports- men's shows in many parts of | North America.

Since arriving in the - Mari- times a few days ago, Frank and his, unusual collection of birds, snakes and other animals | have appeared on CBC's Gazette and CKCW-Moncton. He expects to telecast a show for CFCY Saturday , night.

Over. the years, Mr. Weed and his tame anirhals e appeared

PISTOL EXPERT

A deputy-sheriff for Dade Coynty, Florida, Mr. Weed is li- censed to teach pistol shooting in many of the American States.

On his trip to Canada this fall Mr. Weed brought along the big ‘gator and several smaller ones, 40 harmless snakes, 20 poison- ous snakes, a coati-mundi (a ra- coon-like animal found in South Anterica), one possum, two South American quail, two Jap-

anese quail, two chuker part- ridge, several turtles, and 10 dried snake skins up to 16 feet Jong

While travelling through Nova Scotia earlier this week he pur-
