Safaris are “old hat" to Ruark
now As an exjierienced hunter
with high-powered guns, he ha.-
killed tigers and other king-sized
jungle beasts of every descrip-

form of serving as volunteer
guide for visiting friends from
the States with a fancy for some
convincing trophy to tak, .hack

On the rambling acres of the
Johnston spread, wild t u r k eys
lose setting eggs to predatory ar
madillos. Ruark rides about on
one -of the fine quarterhorse
mounts for which the ranch is
famous apd be pops off the ar-
madillos to save the turkey
crop.
The ranch is a yearly meet-
