Buster was digging around the roots of an old stump He was trying to dig a hole But he under that old stump wasn't trying too hard Lazy workers never do try too hard He would dig his big Claws into the ground and pull out a little sand then rest a bit Then he would sit with his head swinging from side to side pretending to be looking all around but in reality doing no real look ing at all He was just happily lazy and there is no happier feeling than that of being happily lazy always provtding you can afford to be so Buster could He dug short growing tired of digging he wandered off always can Uncle Ray's Corner - African Elephant Is World's Largest Land Animal If we want to find the biggest land animal in the world the place to look for it is Africa In that continent are the largest elephants n The average height of a is bull African elephant about 10 feet Some of these beastsa 11 feet and of reach a height few get up to 11 and a half feet Think of a bulky animal which could thrust its trunk through a a second story window of one of our homes if it happened to be wandering around! It is hardly likely that an African elephant would be seen wandering In our country An elephant might escape from a zoo or circus but probably it would be an Asiatic elephant Most captive elephants are of that Kind The majority of elephants in but some captivity come from Asia are of African stock I saw about 20 African elephants in a single group at a zoo in Belgium What ears an African elephant has! The ears of a bull sometimes are three and a half feet wide When they are spread out or "cocked" during a charge they make a sight to behold With the thick head in the middle the outspread ears may measure nine feet from tip xto tip! The African elephant also is a champiom for its tusks The tusks are overgrown teeth in the upper Jaw African elephants have larger tusks than the elephants of India If the tusks of an elephant can be called "overgrown teeth" we may speak of their trunks as "overgrown noses" At the end of each trunk are the openings of a pair of nostrils Elephants have a keen sense of smell it is believed that they can smell men at a distance of more than three miles when the wind is right For NATURE section of your scrapbook slifisiili&MIaAfiaw aJ full-grow- r — UNCLE RAY WHAT TASTES MOW KNOWS I —— uiuiv OCT "- REAL vvw FOR CHEWING eutX AIL SET wiHVs PtfASORt dug-t-an- African elephant taking a drink Tomorrow: Ways of African Eele-phan- 1 I I rM SATISFIED MY TIME- sm MACHINE WILL DO ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT BAKE A CAKE! m mmwmmimt1 Funny Business ts I ess mm ' t— I U bobobobm 1 4sri :Kal W zr 1 " r- -f — saga mm 9geav -- m u zr a -- MOUNTED ON A MESOZOIC DINOSAUR GRAPHICALLY ILLUSTRATES THE EXTENT OF DR WON RESEARCHES IN TIME MUG'S MULTI-ERw F m UUUNJUUIIH:rUL m ABOUT PETE ALbTlN Rainmaking Not So Good — Expert IF IT HELPS- - !
