ED SILVEY, FIREMAN,
HAS TAXIDERMY HOBBY
BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
Back in 1929 when Ed Silvey mounted a coot, small
water bird, he never knew that taxidermy would turn out
to be an enjoyable and profitable hobby of his. But, now,
after 19 years of experience he has become one of the
cutstanding local taxidermists. G
Before bhecoming interested in
taxidermy as a hobby Mr. Silvey,
a member of the Fire Department,
loved wildlife. He mounts birds,
fish, and other small animals.
Mounts Large Fish
His largest mounting was a 132
pound. It was a silver tarpon,
nearly six feet long. He said the
mounting of this fish was quite a
job, but it was probably his most
exciting. i
Mr. Silvey does nearly all the
work for other sportsmen. He does
little mounting for himself al
though he has a hobby of fishing.
Over a period of about 10 years
he says that he has mounted ap-

THE STORY
Time, 1880 Place, New Orleans
Louis Durand, 37, a well-to-do
bachelor, has been corresponding
with Miss Julia Russell, whom he
has never seen. He has proposed
marriage and she has accepted.
According to her picture, Miss
Russell is dark-haired, strong
featured and no longer young.
Durand goes down to the dock to
meet the boat that is to bring her
from St. Louis. He is dumfounded
when an exquisite young blond
creature introduces herself as
Julia. She explains her little de
ceit by saying she didn’t want him
to fall for just a pretty face.
They are married and after a gay
wedding supper, Durand takes his
bride to the lavish new home he
has built for her.

He lifted her bodily in his arms.
She came clear of the ground with
a little foamy rustle of skirt bot
toms. Moving sideward so that his
shoulder might ward off the loose
swinging door, he carried her over
the sill and in. Then dipped again
and set her back on her feet, in a
little froth of lacy hems.
He stepped aside, closed the
door, and bolted it.
She was looking around, stand
ing in one place but moving her
body in a half-circle from there, to
take in everything.
“Like it?” he asked.
He went to a lamp, turned the
little wheel, heightening its flame
to a yellow stallagmite. Then to
another, and another, wherever
they had been left. The walls
brightened with dull ivory to pur
est white. The newness of every
thing became doubly conspicuous.
“Like it?” he beamed.
Her hands were clasped, and
eelvated upward to height of her
face; held that way in a sort of
stylized rhapsody.
“Oh, Louis,” she breathed. “It’s
ideal. It's exquisite."
“It’s yours,” he said.
She moved her hands out to one
side of her face now, still clasped,
and nestled her cheek against
them slatwise. Then across to the
other side, and repeated it ther.
“Oh, Louis” was all she seemed
capable of saying. “Oh, Louis.”
They moved around then on a
brief tour, from room to room, and
he showed her the parlor, the din
ing room, the others. And for each
room she had an expiring “Oh,
Louis,” until at last, it seemed,
breath had left her altogether, and
she could only sigh “Oh.”
They came back to the -hall at
last, and he said somewhat dif
fidently that he would lock up.
“Will you be able to find our
room?” he added, as she turned
toward the stairs, “Or shall I come
up with you?”
She dropped her eyes for a mo
ment before his. “I think I shall
know it,” she said chastely.
He placed one of the smaller
lamps in her hands. “Better take
this with you to make sure. She
probably left lights up there, but
she may not have.” ‘
With the light brought close to
her like that, raying upward into
her face from the glowing coreJ‘
held at about the height of her
heart, there was to him something
madonna-like about her coun
tenance. She was like some irre
pressibly beautiful image in an
old cathedral of Europe come to
life before the eyes of a single de
votee, rewarded for his faith. A
miracle of love. |
She rose a step. She rose an
other. An angel leaving the earth
ly plane, but turned backward in
regretful farewell.
“Goodby for a little while,” he
murmured softly.
“For a little while,” she breathed.
Then she turned. The spell was
broken. She was just a woman in
an evening gown, going up a stair.
The graceful back-draperies of
the most beautiful costume-style
in a hundred years gently undu
loted with her climb. Her free
hand trailed the banister.
“Keep an eye out for the wall
paper,” he said. “That will tell

with Black and te Soap:
Eroximately 150 to 200 deer heads.
specially on deer heads he does
beautiful work. Some of his work
can be seen at Fire station no. 1.
The process used in the mount
ing of animals as outlined by Mr.
Silvey is: First the animal is
skinned out as the skin is the only
part used, a preservation is placed
in the skin then a paper mache
form is made, After the hide is
placed on the paper mache the
skin is sewed or tacked on the
board behind the mache form then
it is left to dry for 30 to 60 days.
Next glass eyes are put in, and
wax is used inside the mouth. The
process varies with different types
of animals. |
She turned inquiringly, with a
look of incomprehension. “How’s
that?”
“I meant, you’ll know it by the
wallpaper, when you come to it.”
“Oh,” she said docilely, but as
though she still didn’t fully under
stand.
She reached the top of the stairs
and went over their lip, shrinking
down toward the floor now as she
went on, until her shoulders, then
her head, were gone. The ceiling
halo cast by her lamp receded past
his ken, down that same illusory
incline.
He went into the parlor, first;
and then the other downstairs
rooms, latching each window that
had not already been latched, try
ing those that had, flinging out the
drapes and drawing them sleekly
together over each one. Then at
last blotting out each welcoming
lamp, room by room.
The last lamp of all went out,
and he moved slowly up the phost
stairs in the dark, that was al
ready a familiar dark to him
though he’d been in this house
less than half an hour.
He found his way toward their
own door, in the equal darkness
of the upper hall, but guided now
by the thread of light stretched
taunt across its sill.
He stopped a moment, and he
stood there.
Then he knocked, in a sort of
playful formality.
She must have sensed his mood,
by the tenor of the knock alone.
There was an.answering playful
not in her own voice:
“Who knocks?” she inquired
with mock gravity.
“Your husband.”
“Oh? What does he say?”
“‘May I come in?’”
“Tell him he may.”
“Who is it invites me to?”
The answer was almost inaudi
ble, but low-voiced as it was, it
reached his heart,
“Your wife.”

Schools Of Georgia Are In
Need Of Improved Facilities
By L E. AARON
The quality of teaching depends
not only upon the teacher but
upon the facilities with which the
teacher must work. Much good
teaching takes place when limited
facilities are available, but a bet
ter job can be done when the
teacher has an adequate classroom,
good equipment, and sufficient
teaching materials,
A recent survey revealed that
two out of each five white and
nineteen out of each twenty Negro
school buildings were unfit for
use. Many classrooms in the State
of Georgia are inadequately light
ed, thus aggravating eye defects,
Indoor toilet facilities are non-ex
istent in 53 per cent of Georgia's
white schools. Many schools are
using worn out textbooks, some of
which were copyrighted 20 years‘
ago.
Clarke and surrounding coun
ties in Georgia, show signs of lim
ited facilities. Buildings are old
and decadent, many over-crowded.
In many schools no money is
available for such items as teach
ing aids, athletic equipment, and
suitable desks. Some white schools
in this section of the State are
still using double desks dating
back to the late 1800’s.
Why do such conditions exist?
Surely the people want better fa
cilities, For the most part, builde
ing and equipment funds must
come from local sources. Bond is
sues to finunce educational build
fings cannot exceed seven per cent
of the county’s taxable property
under the present law. This means
that more than 100 of Georgia’s
counties are unable to finance the
building and equipment programs
they need.
Something can be done about
this matter if the people believe
strongly enough that their chil
dren are entitled to comfortable,
well-equipped classrooms in good
buildings, if they think their chil
dren should benefit from extra
teaching aids which help to broad
en the student's backf‘round. In
the coming session of the Georgia
legislature, the proposed Minimum
Foundation Program for Education
will be presented for passage. It
provides for S2OO per year per
classroom unit for capital outlay to
be used for building and repair, At
present no state tunds are availa
ble for this. It further provides
S3OO per classroom unit for cur
rent operating expenses to be used
for lights, water, and the like, as
well as for teaching aids.
The above are but parts of the
Minimum Foundation Program for
Education in Georgia. Any person
interested in the welfare of Geor
gia’s children now and in the fu
ture should become thoroughly ac
quainted with the provisions of
the Minimum Foundation Program
and then fight for it if he believes
it is what the state needs. Through
it the present deplorable state of
Georgia’s teaching facilities can be
improved.
