‘Old Stinker* Was Pretty
Shrewd Skunk, Tilley Says
By Joy Tilley Jr.
This old ballyhoo about animals
being dumb sure makes a feller
set up and wonder sometimes
whether animals are really dumb
or whether they are so smart that
they act dumb at the right times
in order to fool these dumb
people that think they are so
smart. Now take my pet skunk
■for instance — that dumb little
polecat must have been pretty
wise.
You see my pet polecat disap-
peared, and since 1 can’t accuse
any one of being low enough to
steal a skunk. I just naturally
have to give old Stinker credit
for being pretty shrewd.
Now Stinker’s cage was an
abandoned rabbit hutch about
three feet wide and six feet long.
This cage stood off the ground
.about twenty four inches and
had a bottom, or floor made of
1” x 4" lumber. The back and
ends of the cage were made of
1” x 12” lumber and the front
was screened with small mesh
chicken wire netting. The top of
* the cage was jpade of 1” x 6”
sheeting and covered with weath-
er-proof shingles. Now at each end
of the cage was a door made of
1” x 12” lumber three feet long,
hinged at the bottom and hooked
at the top with ordinary screen
—door latches.—These hooka were
from the outside. All in all 1
thought the cage was strong
enough to hold a tiger, much le^s
a polecat.
But 1 underestimated the intel-
ligence of a skunk. Stinker- was
about six inches long from front
legs to hack legs and her legs were
some three inches long. Now if
she reared up on her hind feet
and stretched as far as she could
reach, she could probably scratch
a good 14 inches — of course
from nose to tip of tail (horizon-
tal) she was about 18 inches long
and measuring from nose tip to
tail tip (perpendicular) she was
about the same in length ft right
angles.
Now maybe animals are dumb
— skunks are not! This female,
deodorized skunk by some means,
reached ten inches above her head
to unhook the west door from th«
outside. To do this she either had
to stand on her tail and use her
nose, or else she stood on her nose
and used her tail. Next she must
have pushed the heavy door open
and with the help of gravity let
it fall toward the ground. Then
she jumped to the ground two
feet below-.
Up to now I almost kept up
with the skunk in thinking, but
she outdoes me now. This door
was pushed or lifted back info tTs
closed position. How Miss Skunk
Social Security Nou'
Extended To 2J$86
On Aug. 28, 1950, President
Truman signed a new social
security law which will mean an
estimated $1,081 per month in
additional payments to those re-
ceiving retirement and survivors
benefit* in Medina County, ac-
cording to Gordon James, manager
of the San Antonio social security
office. “This will bring total bene-
fits coming into Medina County
up to $2,486 per month,” Jame-
said.
Increased coverage provided for
in the new law will give social
security protection to about 577
additional working persons and
their families, James pointed out.
These include self-employed per-
sons, except certain professions
domestics, and full time agrioul
ture workers. The total thus cover
ed under the law is now bettei
than 2,886 persons for Hondo and
vicinity alone.
THREE CASES TRIED IN
COUNTY COURT THIS WEEK
Three cases' were tried this
week in county court, and four
persons paid fines after pleading
guilty. *
Fred Dominguez was fined $5
and costs for swindling with a
worthless check in the amount of
$5. Juan Albarado paid a $200
fine ami costs for drunk driving,
and Jose Coronado and Virginia
Campos were fined $ 1 OYl each an !
costs on charges of adultery.
about 24 inches above the cage
floor and were, of course, latched
for a trip to East Texas. They
will visit Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Sing-
ley at Martin Mills. They plan to
return this weekend.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Highsmith
and son, Mrs. I^eo Highsmith and
daughters and Mrs. Milton High-
smith and family visited Mr. and
Mrs. Reaves in Utopia Sunday.
Word was received Thursday of
the death of Henry Wheeler, who
was in a San Antonio hospital.
Burial was at Mission Burial Park
in San Antonio Friday. Mr. and
Mrs. Aubrey Evans, Emil Bohm-
filk, Marlene Evans, Mr. and Mrs.
Lucian Ward and Peggy and Mr.
and Mrs. Willie Faseler attended
the services held by Rev. Byron
Bryant of Harlandale Baptist
Church.
Sgt. and Mrs. John H. Muen-
nink and son of Corpus Christi
visited Hondo and Yancey rela-
tives this weekend.
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Wiemers
and daughters returned Monday
from their trip. They toured the
western states, went up into
Canada, and returned by wmy of
Montana, Wyoming and Colorado.
In Canada, the girls enjoyed pimp-
ing In the snow.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Berry and
family of Balton visited here this
week.
did this I will probably never
know. Another thing. The hook
wasn’t fastened back in position
—- why didn't she finish up by
latching the door so that I w’ould
know she didn’t get out of the
cage! Then all evidence would
show that she disappeared simply
by eating herself from tail to
nose!
Of course, I can realize why
she left after having lived here
for three months. It wasn't that
she didnt enjoy eating the birds,
rabbits, lizzards crickets, etc.,
that were furnished her for free.
Nor was it boresome for her to
play with my children who petted
and pampered her into following
them all over the yard. I don’t
even think she left because of the
warm baths she got once a week.
Really, I think she didn’t want
her folks to find out that she was
associating with me!
Now if 1 could just picture any-
one who would stoop low enough
to steal a skunk I could go on
believing that animals are dumb.
But at present, all I can say is,
“Stinker, old girl, you are very,
very smart.”
My children think that she will
be smart enough to put herself
back in the cage so they can spoil
her with such delicacies as cric-
ket*, liver and ice cream. If aha
/doesn’t maybe I'll see her some
day and let her tell her story in
her own word*.
