Dear Editor:
I am sending a picture cf my little
granddaughter, Nancy Lea. Fhillips. fiv:
years old, as she fishes in the Resaca near
San Benito, Texas.
Her father, Major Thormas J. Phillips,
who is in a hospital in Japan, sent th-
fishing tackle to Nancy. You can see by
the expression on her face tha: she is very
anxious to catch a fish.

Dear Editor:
In the past three weeks, I have killed
what I believe :o be two broad-bandedcopperheads. Their descriptions fit per-
fectly those given in the February 195(
issue of TEXAS GAME AND FISH.
I notice none have been reported fromh
Young County although Palo Pinto and
Throckmorton counties have reported them.
My home is on a corner lot, both strertn
paved and located about 2,000 feet from
Salt Creek both north and west of rny
place and about 1,500 feet from one of
the typical Young or Palo Pinto Count\
mountains. Pavement extends over 8(
feet in all directions of my home. Both 'i
these snakes were about 22 inches lon,.
both were killed around 8:00 in the mote
ing, on or within three feet of paved sid
walks and about 60 feet apart. One we
killed June 16th and the other July 9tk.
My place is well-kept with a hedge around
the fence line. I found the snakes between
the hedge and sidewalk. The last one I
killed had a full-grown English sparrow
about half swallowed.
Is the location of these snakes unusual
or do they inhabit home places where them
are cats and always a dog? I am naturally
interested as heretofore I have never h.
anything in the snake line other than o
or two chicken snakes in almost 30 yem
I really enjoy my GAME AND FISH mi.
azine every month and each year I give
my complete file to our public library.

(It is very possible for the two broad-
banded copperheads to be found in your
section of the country. The only reason
that they were not included in the Febru-
ary 1950 list is that they were never re-
ported before.)

DOG PAD COMPANY, ALBANY, TEXASfound, including a gold-plated beauty
valued at $5000, it was reported today.
This brings to a total of 33 the number
known to be still in existence of the 135
originally produced.
The up-to-date figures were reported
by James C. Hartley, director of re-
search of Olin Industries' Winchester
Repeating Arms Company, New
Haven, Conn. The "One of One Thou-
sand" valued at $5000 is the property
of Robert Abels of New York City. It
was acquired from a California rancher
in whose family the famous rifle had
been willed from generation to genera-
tion as a family heirloom.
The 33 rifles are located in 13 states,
most of them in the west, as follows:
California, 10; Washington, 4; Mon-
tana, Virginia, West Virginia, New
York, Florida and Illinois, 2 each; andNevada, Wisconsin, Kansas, Massa-
chasetts anc C:rmecticut. The other
two were ciscovered in Africa and
England.
A. T. C. Hale, directors of the British
arms firm of Parker-Hale, Limited. at
Birmingham, England, expressed de-
light at coming into possession of a rifle
of "such quality and historic fame." He
reported the "One of One Thousand"
was acquired by his firm when an
elderly Shropsh re gunsmith, H. Oliver
of Ludlow, entered a hcspital for treat-
ment and was obliged, under the law,
te dispose of guns in his possession.
Mr. Hale learned the gunsmith o0-
tained the rare rearm from the estate
of a British Army sergeant major who
had seen many years' service in dif-
feren: parts of the world.NOVEMBER, 1951
