Thursday. March 9, 1939 Woodhouse Pub Another Yadkin Bill In Hopp Raleigh, March 6.—Democrat Frank Woodhouse tonight Intro duced a bill at the request of his Republican predecessor, Jeter L. Haynes. The bill would repeal the appli cation to Yadkin ox a Hyde coun ty law designed to stop chicken thefts.

The Hyde county law forbids buying poultry for resale between m rundown and sunup and also re ■ quires the buyers to keep records tfcjfrf all purchases made, with de scriptions of the fowl purciiovsed and the seller.

VILHJALMUR STEFANSSON The Who Ate Shoestrings—And Liked Them I once talked for three hours with a man who had spent eleven years up beyond the Arctic Cir cle; and during six years of that time, he had lived on nothing but meat and water. The man «is Stefansson —a splendid, blonde Norseman, with the blood of the old Vikings coursing through his veins. Stefansson was the first ex plorer who ever dared to venture out on the desolate ice of the Arctic Ocean, without food or fuel, and try to live on the game that he shot. When he first suggested such a thing, the experts told him he was crazy, and the Eskimos warned him that he would starve to death. But would he? He wasn't so sure. He was a scientist and he wanted the facts. So he and two of his companions took guns and ammunition and wait out and lived for months on cakes of ice, floating around in the Arctic Ocean.

Prom that time on, they ate nothing except the seals and polar bears that they shot. How did they get their drink ing water? Well, they made a fire out of blubber, whi'jh is the fat on seals; and with this fire, they melted sea ice and got fresh water. ' '' And here is the astonishing part of the story; Stefansson and his men traveled seven hundred miles over the shifting ice, and instead of dying from starvation, as the experts had said they would, they gained several pounds and didn't miss a single meal in ninety-seven days! Stef ansson said they would have died if they had eater nothing but lean meat, but they were all right so long as they ate all the fat meat they wanted, along with the lean. Sometimes they ate their meat raw, but they usually cooked it, using blubber for fuel. Some- tH»W i.h«y r-"t. irw hair off a bear-hide and used the hair for fuel. Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf? . Well, Stefansson isnt. He says he has eaten dozens of big, bad wolves. He said he would rather have a nice piece of roast wolf than roast veal. Stefansson told me that his men tried eating wild ducks, wild geese, partridges and owls. Then they took a vote on which one they liked best, and moet of them said they would rather have owl than wild ducks or partridges. He himself" has even eaten the rawhide strings on his snow shoes. He believes that a piece of boiled, fresh Tawhide isn't bad; it tastes something' like pigs' feet. He says it is a good idea to wear skin clothing in the Far North in stead of woolen clothes; because if you get too hungry, you can eat your rawhide clothes.
