KV I'-'w SOy on re 0 nent 1 vr the national rifle association teach designed to substitute terror for Bui how anyone in or out of Washing an or any other world capital could claim to feel the reported shock and surprise from this event is difficult tounderstand. ki44 years world leaders shopld have time to discover that the Kremlin leopard-whoever he may be-does not change his spots. He lives only to prey on free men and to expand the malevolent system that, in his view, must one day contain all humanity in bondage and degradation. Here, in the Moscow announcement that included the threat of super-bombs with the destructive force of 20 to 100 million tons of TNT, is automatic releases from our self-imposed three-year abstinaice from nuclear testing -into wliich we had beat inconceivably duped by the man who liad promised to "bury" us.
But, sofaras is known at tills writing, we are not to resume our periolously abandoned program-not yet-not until, as Secretary of State Rusk lias liinted, tlie Soviet duplicity lias liad a chance to "soak in hard-soak in liard everywhere." Tlie Wliite 1 louse statanait declares that the Russian decision "prcsaits a thr a to tlie entire world by increasing the dangers of a tliermo-nuckar liolocaust." President Kennedy i quoted a being "entirely confident" tliat our nuclear stockpile is "wholly adequate" to the defense of tlie free world. Yet Admiral Lewis Strauss, former chairman of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, writing in tlie cur rent issue of Readers Digest wliich appeared only days ago, warns that tliis stockpile consists of untested bombs, some of tlieni three or more years old. To make his point unmistakable clear, lie cites our experience in World War withtorpedoesthat liad not been proof -tested in 20 years.
Navy crews scored direct liits on enemy vessels-but the warheads failed to explode and little damage was done. Plainly, no one can know wliat our nuclear strength is until testing is resumed. Furthermore we liave given away three years of development time on improved weapons -as Russia evidently has not I Tliis latest Kremlin perfidy should, as Mr. Rusk has said, "soak in But it already had, judgingfrom Belgrade reports from the impending 'summit" meeting of the 24 "neutral" nations considered largely in the Communist camp. A brutal slap in the face" was the general reaction.
But we need every possible moment toprepare for worse.

Face of the Future No matter how grim the world looks, we find fresh encouragement eaclt year-about the time the kids start writing confidential letters to Santa daus-tliat the human race will carry on. For, while the little boys' playthings become more lethal (we expect to see miniature cyclotrons that really work this year), little girls go right on respondingto the maternal impulse and demanding dolls above all else-just as their great, great, great grandmothers did. But if little girls never change, the dolls do! By now we've seen dolls that weep and wet and walk and talk-that deliver whole speeches, not just bleat And all this is old-hat now, with the appearance of an all vinyl -plastic doll that changes expression! Twist the knob on her head and she runs the gamut of emotions from seasickness -or maybe it was something she ate-to sleepiness, to unrestrained joy. To aid in this transition theres a toy thermometer for her little nurse-and-mother. Whether or not it goes up and down with the patients expression, we are not sure.
But there's an adjustable, white plastic hospital bed to fit her that does go up and down-and has a foam rubber mattress, too! No telling what a psychiatrist might think about this emphasis on illness, But, to this ordinary citizen who is at least as much concerned as the next one over the prospects of the rising generation and the state of the world will inherit, the idea of restoring the ailing to health and happiness seems constructive. Even the wacky name that Santa Claus has given this latest heart-throb for the younger Miss America-Hedda-Get-Bedda-is redolent of confidence and optimism Lets hope we can do.

Dear Editor: I would like to be the first to agree with our nosey (Name withheld by request) who said he was in our town exactly ten minutes accordingtohisprinted statement and found so much to complain about. Apparently he said a car had hit a dog and wondered why the police did not shoot the dog while the little boy who owned the dog stood by asking him not to, and by a concrete pavement in front of two houses with eight or ten people who would have been in line of fire. He states that we better look out for our children. Can anyone who by their own admission go four blocks, attend to some business, and return in ten minutes say he is an authority on looking out for children? We are infested with that kind who do business in Bridgeport and give nothing in return but complaints, on how we carry on the city affairs of our little town.
I want to heartily agree that should be on the job of watching out for our children against ones who can investigate a dying dog laying by the side of street, go into town and carry on business and get out in ten minutes. try to make our town look like our police is a bunch of incompetent rascals by doing a cowardly editorial in one of our local papers. So since I have very little respect for anyone who throw stones from behind a tree will you please print my answer to (My name held by request and BY T.E. ASHERBRANNER Thousands of tales have been told about how the hoop snake will take its tail in its mouth and roll after its victim and when it caught it would then release its tail form its mouth and stick a stinger into the victim. The victim would immediately die if it were a person, animal or if it hit a tree the leaves on the tree would began to wilt at once.
I have heard many of these tales and heard people say that they had actually seen this happen. The snake which is in the photo is believed by some scientists to be a worm and by others to be a lizard. It is sometimes called glass snake or glass worm. The snake continue the general theme of emphasis Civil War Centennial Commemoration being held throughout the country this year. K.

This hard tail is what people thought was a stinger and is from 3 to 4 inches long according to the length of the snake. Often when this fellow is hurt it will stand on its head and thrash around in a sort spinning motion. The one in the photo did this very thing when I ran over it with the car. I put my foot on its tail and stopped the antics. The snake did not thrash around in this manner to try to scare me or to hurt me but because it was in pain and this thrashing is perhaps reason some people think it takes its tail in its mouth and rolls.
It is said that this creature can eject or discard the hard tail when an enemy gets hold of it, but I have never seen this performance. The discarding of the tail could be further reason the people used to believe that the tail was a stinger. This fellow doesnt have a tooth or fang in its head and it does have very pronounced ears which other snakes do not have. Its mouth goes almost to its ears which are just back of its eyes. A short time ago I saw a mocking bird in the road trying to decide whether or not to try to eat one of these creatures which had been killed in the road by a car.
