I know that to both of you there has come the satisfaction that always attends work well done, and I pray that you may be spared to continue this notable contribution to earnest sincere ac complishment in the field of Cath olic activity." The idea of a radio program was first suggested by Mr. Dempsey, then grand knight, and Father Har old J. Barr, then chaplain of the council, and assistant at St. Mary s, Augusta, now rector of the Cathed ral in Savannah. They found the Council enthusiastic and Station WRDW most co-operative, making the time available each Sunday aft ernoon from 2:30 to 3:00. Augusta laymen and women al ternate on the programs with the clergy; in the entire 156 radio pro grams there has not been a single one of which the Council and Cath olics might not be more than satis fied, and many of the addresses have been notable. The addresses have presented Catholic truth in straight forward and friendly fashion, and there never has been any flareback. MRS.

Flynn, pastor of Saint Paul’s Church, claims a unique distinction of having within the confines of his parish the original rattlesnake cannery of the world. An ex-service man, George End, came to Arcadia a few years after the World War with the inten tion of working a piece of land he bought. His efforts did not meet with the success he had expected, and while meditating upon his plight Mr. End conceived the idea of canning rattlesnake. The prairies around Ar cadia are inhabited by a goodly num ber of rattlesnakes, so this enterpris ing veteran started an experiment which has grown into a thriving bus iness. The snakes are captured alive by several men employed for the pur pose. Mr. End kills them, skins them, and then he and his wife prepare and can them according to a process worked out after careful study. Many of the 'argest hotels in the East serve rattlesnake as a delicacy. There are also rattlesnake snacks put up in bags, similar to potato chips. Mrs. End makes coats and shoes for wo men from the skins. The venom from the snakes is sold to laboratories. The fangs and the rattles are also sold as souvenirs. Father Flynn claims the rattlesnake meat to be a very tasty dish, and Arcadia is proud of this unique industry. James P.

When Lacy called on Father Mee han here, the local pastor was arm ed with a description sent by the Rev. Nicholas Quinlan, of Atlanta, who also warned that the man was probably on his way to Florida. Lacy, Father Meehan says, repre sented himself as a Catholic medical school graduate, asserted that he was about to begin his interneship in a Catholic hospital in Omaha, and declared that, in repayment for the assistance given in putting him through schools, he planned to serve for a time on the China Misisons of the Society of St. Columban. Mean while, while waiting for his interne- ship to begin, he was taking sub scriptions for the Homoletic and Pastoral Review, Father Meehan re - ported Lacy as saying. Father Meehan gave Lacy a sub scription, obtained a receipt, and im mediately turned him over to the police. The Justice of the Peace fixed Lacy’s bail at $200. Summoned as a witness at the trial, Father Mee han appeared with affidavits, only to learn that Lacy had pleaded guilty several days before; had been sen tenced to pay a fine of $250 or serve six months in jail, and had been re leased on his own recognizance to raise the money.
