KANSAN OFFERS PLEA FOR HARMLESS SNAKES

TOPEKA, Kan. (UP)—Non-poi-sonous snakes are a boon to farmers and worth many dollars each for the work they do in killing rats, weasels and other rodent pests, according to D. P. Beaudry, director of the Topeka

Reptile Study Club.

Peaudry, in a plea that harmless snakes be spared, said that when a snake is seen near the farm buildings it usually is trailing some rodent.

| "If food is scarce a snake occasionally may kill a small chicken,” Beaudry said, "but a rat or weasel will kill more small chickens in an hour than a snake will in years. A snake more than cams an occasional chicken for the good work it does in

killing pests.”

PFENNING ADDRESSES HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Dr. Hazel Pfenning, a member of the faculty of Indiana State Teach ers' college, at Terre Haute, spoke at the high school convocation Tuesday afternoon. In an interesting manner she pointed out how necessary it is to select the best parts of our environment for the acquisition of culture

and education.

Everyone judges culture today by the same measurements that were used during the ancient times— namely, an individual's interests and selections. Selections are always an important index to culture. Friends, personal appearance, manners, the choice of moving pictures, radio programs. books, and magazines are all influential in developing good taste. If one chooses the best of everything in his present environment, he need not worry about what he will do in any other environment. All that he will ever do or accomplish will be the result of his choice day by day which will bring about the full en-

joyment of life.
